LEAGUE CITY.
Texas Coast News.
This town has the misfortune of being
mixed up by two names. The name of
the station, upon the request of a petition
by the citizens, was changed by the rail-
road officials to League City. The post-
office still remains Clear Creek.
Dr. Bell appeared on our streets look-
ing unusually happy on Monday morn-
ing. He had good reason for it. A fine
baby girl had arived at his home that
morning.
Mr. J. S. Scott has commenced mak-
ing a fine shell sidewalk in front of his
store.
Mr. Butler has cleaned the ditch in
front of his property along the railroad
of grass and mud that had accumulated
—an example all property owners should
emulate.
Land Agent Jensen arrived from the
north last week with a few more Nor-
wegian settlers for the Clear Creek coun-
try. They make good, thrifty citizens.
Give them a cordial welcome.
Many of our mechanics are at work
on the Dickinson improvements.
The Galveston N&vs correspondent
from this place urges the ’Securing of a
canning factory for this place. It is the
one thing neetled, and the agitation
should be kept up until it is secured.
Mrs. W. M. Stoddard Arived direct
from David City, Neb., last Saturday
evening, joining her husband and chil-
dren in their new home,' close to town.
Let neighbors extend the hand of wel-
come.
Several accessions to our population
are expected in the near future, together
with some valuable improvements in
our town and surrounding country. The
reputation of the unsurpassed advan-
tages of the Clear Creek country is
spreading far and wide.
League City extends its best wishes
for the success and growth of Texas
City, the promising and striving young
city of the gulf coast. May its brightest
hopes and anticipations be realized.

readiness for the abundant sport to be
Texas coast fair. Mr. Keetch was agree-
ably surprised at the extent and substan-
tial nature of the improvements, race
track and buildings. He remarked that
if anyone had any doubt of the good
faith and success of tjie fair all they
needed was a visit to tii^ grounds. It’s
no fake—and that’s up lie.
Mr. C.. Eisenmayer’ oFGalveston paid
a visit to the nurseries of the Galveston
Nursery and Orcharchcompany at Hulen
during the week. He,was greatly pleased
with the stock Professor Maliy had for
sale, though it should be understood
that most of the stock he has in nursery
now at Hulen is dormant budded for next
season. His stock for. this year’s trade is
mostly growp. by contract near Dickin-
son. -He thought the'coast fair couldn’t
help but be a success tile way the man-
agement was fixing for it.
Mr. H. N. Lowry of Hitchcock and Mr.
Thomas of Alta Lffina visited the nursery

company last week and talked fruit
trees with the professdi-.”' Mr. Lowry has
the honor of being first ’^ice-president of
the Texas coast fair and'Professor Maliy
escorted him to the grounds of the asso-
ciation at Dickinson to inspect the pro-
gress of the construction of the buildings
and racetrack. He was greatly pleased
and took a new inspiration. If only our
people at Hitchcock could see these im-
provements, it would need no further
argument to convince them that this is
really a coast country fair and not a
Galveston county fair. Look out, Miss
Hitchcock, your maiden city neighbors
in the coast -country are making, or pre-
paring to make, their debut at the fair
at Dickinson this fall, and if you are not
there in full force with an exhibition of
your products you will surely fall in the
rear of the procession and by another
year will be a back number. You have
a staunch friend and watchman iu Mr.
Lowry. Y’ou had better heed his words
of counsel and prepare to do honors for
Hitchcock at the fair next November.

BUDWEISER”
New Quick Train Service and Fine
Equipment on the Katy.
Improvement and progress are the
watchwords of the present officials of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway,
more widely and favorably known as
the Katy. Not many years ago Texans
had to put up with the most inferior
railroad service, both as to the speed of
the trains and as to equipment. The
country was sparsely settled, roadbeds
were poor and unsettled, the modern im-
provements in use on the northern lines
were slow to find their way to this sec-
tion.
But with the growth of the state
“things are coming our way” and the
gratification which the Katy’s popular
general passenger agent, Mr. ' W. G.
Crush, experiences in announcing a first-
class service will be shared by the people
of Texas.
For the past two or three years the
road has been paving the way for a quick
train service for the north ami east, ex-
tending its line to St. l ouis and also to
Houston, incidentally striving to get to
Galveston, belter its De k and bridge,
and making other m tov in nts.
These preliminaries iir. nged, the an-
nouncement now tomes that on October
6 two new fast trains, called the “Katy
Flyer,” will bo put in service between
Houston and St. Louis, via Sjnithville,
Tyler, Temple, Waco, Hillsboro, Wftxa'
hachie, Dallas, Fort Worth', Greenville,
Denton. Whitesboro ami Denison. The
equipment of the trains will be spick-
span now, vestibuled throngliout, having
free .reclining chair cars and Wagner
buffet sleepers.
The train will leave Houston daily at
6.30 p. in., arriving the second morning
at 7.30 a. m. The southbound train will
leave St. Louis at 8.20 p. ni., arriving' at
Houston at 9.30 the second morning.
