The Herald is glad to report
that Mrs. J. H. Florence and little
daughter who have been quite sick
for the past few days are much
improved and hopes to be able to
report their entire recovery in a
short time.
It is reported that one time a
man said he would see to it that
grass grew in the streets of
Brownsville. Today daisies are
growing and blowing over his
tomb and Brownsville is on the
eve of an unprecedented era of
prosperity.
President A. J. Davidson of the
St. Louis and San Francisco rail-
road accompanied by Vice-Presi
dent Gray General Passenger
Agent Alexander Hilton and other
officials are now on a tour of in-
spectiou of the Frisco ' properties
and will look over the St. L. B. &
M. in which the system is much
interested. The party will airive
here today or tomorrow.
We are informed by G. T. Porter
that the office of the railroad com-
pany at this place has received no-
tice of the change of schedule to
take place. The change will- take
effect Sundayjnight at 12:01 and the
hours of arrival and departure of
the trains will be as follows: train
leaves here at 6:45 a. m.; arrives
9:25 p. m. Sunday trains will also
be run on the same schedule.
The following party of prospec-
tors who arrived last night were
pleasant callers at The Herald
office this morning and promised
to see us again beforeleavingtown:
W. A. Haas Mt. Vernon Ind
Immigration Agent for the Frisco
system; W. T. Dixler Dayton
Ohio connected with the postoffice
at that place; D. B. Wallace War-
saw Ky. editor of the Warsaw
Independent and president of the
Kentucky Press Association. These
gentlemen say the country round
about here looks good to them and
that they do not mean to make a
.secret of that fact when they go
home.
John W. Vann. Collector of
customs is just in receipt of a
Jetter from the secretary of the
Treasurv solicited by the secre
tary of state of the state of Texas
asking him to extend usual
courtesies to a band composed of
four officers and seventy men from
Mexico en route for San Antonio
to attend the fair. It is not known
definitely when this baud will
reach here but we presume about
Saturdav or Sunday. Now why
can't we have a band concert
by the most celebrated band in
Mexico as they pass throtight
on their way- to- Sari Antonio?
It is worth looking- iuto.
This mornincr as we were dream-
inff'alo'npoetfcal lihesf we Were
suddenly startled awake by un
earthlv shrieks and saueals the
like ojwh'fch we"Tiever heaftl ex-
cept frdinrh6gs. On rushing to the
door we beheld a youthful swine
.coming down the street at a fear
ful clip squealing as he came. Ap
pended to the youth aforesaid was
a large tomato or oyster can of the
21b. denomination. The pig vanish'
ed in the post still protesting to
heaven against such an indignity
and we make do doubt is still go
ing and protesting. Candor and a
sense of fairness and justice make
us question why this thing was
done where were our police that
they did not protect the innocent
pig in his harmless meandering
about town? Why should this one
be singled out from the herd that
daily wanders to and fro on our
streets seeking what they msy de
vour singled out to bear such a
shame and indignity? The author-
ities of this town should seek out
the base' culprits who perpetrated
this' deed and mete to them fit and
proper punishment.
A hunting party composed of H.
H. Weller Lieut. Leckie and L.

ot time we propose to convert Mr.
Risser to an abiding belief in the
