I• u*d Every Prld«v Morning
Caldwell, Texas, February 2, 190b.
Canthdatks for state offices are taking a little
vacation just a present, and the differential ques-
tion has about been thrashed out, and the people
rejoicing that they have at least a temporary rest.
It will become tiresome enough later on, and it is
well to let us have it all at once and be done with
it.
Bk\ \x has been promised plenty of water as
soon as the taxes come in for this year, and a
street sprinkler is also among her visions. Does
this year promise us a street sprinkler? Not un-
less we eet together and put in one. It takes
both money and work, and we must get in ! ne
right awav, a- the dusty season will be upon us
in a very short time.
Ii anything is to be done in the way of improv-
ing the fireman's park this season it must be
done quickly. Shade trees should have been out
sixty days now. and there is only a very short
time in which to plant them to give them anv
chance whatever to live. The committees having
this project in charge are losing valuable lime and
may lose a whole year by waiting a week or two
longer.
Ii is said that Carnegie's wish has always been
to become a newspaper man, and that ne advises
young men to take a course in that profession.
If old Andrew really wants to carry out his wish
to die a poor man and to get some rich experience
and hard labor out of his life he should follow his
own advice. There's many an editor will gladly
swap places with him and g¡ve him a chance to
gratify his wish to die unencumbered with the
filthy lucre he has amassed.
Thi. circulation of this paper is larger than
was ever known before by a paper in Burleson
county, establishing a new record every month.
It reaches nearly everybody now, and the rest
of them will be on the list next year. Now. if
you want to reach the people in the trade terri-
tory around Caldwell a contract for space in this
paper will do the work, build up your busines*,
and at the same time help to make a better pa-
per and help it to reach more people. It is an
endless chain proposition, and every dollar in-
vested in advertising not only brings you trade
but helps to go out after new trade.
Anij still the Santa Fe has not come across
with the money pledged to the Caldwell-Dime
B)x road work, which was done and paid for
with the understanding that the railroai appro-
priation would be forthcoming immediately.
The Business League bav ingad vanced the money
to pay for the work, the Santa Ke ought to come
aero** and do it at once. It savors of rather
questionable methoJs to promise money for some-
thing out of vh:ch it reaps a direct benefit, and
supposing the offer made in good faith another
organisation puts up the cash, and then hears
nothing more of the matter. Wed tape may be
some excuse, but there has been time enough in
this matter to wind up several miles of red tape.
Kither come acres- gentlemen, or acknowledge
that you were just lying about it. so we will know
what to cxpect next time. (

ShVKK.M. of the business men have remarked
favorably upon the proposition of paving the
street and square, and the matter ought to be
looked into at once. It would be the province of
the Busines League to have a preliminary esti-
mate made, and then committees could be ap-
pointed to see what could be done in the premises.
Let us find the probable cost at once, and then
circulate an agreement to be signed by property
owners stating the number of feet of property
owned on the street and the amount for which
they would agree to become liable. The city will
pay one-half outof the general improvement fund,
or issue bonds for that purpose, and the county
would surely pay their part op the paving of the
square, and the cost of one-fourth of the frontage
of each property owner would be very small com-
pared with the great convenience and service of
the paved street and the consequent enhancement
of the value of the property along the pavement.
A first-class pavement of vitrified brick or heavy
macadam will mean the saving of a great deal in
repair work that is thrown away every year out
of the city taxes. It would mean a great saving
to those who have to pull the street vsith heavy
loads in bad weather, both in damage, time and
religion, and every person in Burleson county
who has occasion to pass over this street once
each year will get a part of the benefit from the
work. Let us get together at once and ee what
it will cost and get to work and >ee how easily
the money can be raised. This is not a theory
that we are confronted with, but an acttu condi-
tion. and the plan suggested to improve it im-
practical and would be permanent n it result*.
Thi: Bryan papers are working for a new
oil mill to be built there, claiming that I'.ryan
farmers shouid not be forced to take per ton
less for their eed than is paid in Caldwell. A
good argument brother, and one that ought to
impress on the people of liurieson county that bv
patronising the Caldwell mill they are keeping
their money at home and holding the market up
on seed, at the same time saving on mea! and
hulls, as witness the Caldwell mill is now selling
meal to local consumers for five dollars per ton
less than they can get for it in car lots on out-
side markets. Such an institution deserves the
support of every farmer in the county, and the
man who will sell his seed to an outside concern
is not only injuring the home mill but is taking
the chances of some day being without a home
mill, as the very farmers in Brazos county who
are now kicking about the price they get for seed
probablv sent so much of their seed to outside
mills that the Bryan mill was not able to run at
a profit and hence will not be rebuilt. Metter
take warning in time and try to make the Cald-
well mill a paying proposition by selling it all
your seed and buying all your seed products from
it.
Ii the Santa Fe will build a few more mile of
yards and shops and tie plants. Caldwell, Lyons
and Somertilfe will all be united in one town.
We hope th*y will keep on coming thi way. any-
how. and then pretty soon they can tap our water
supply and water the whole shooting match from
Caldwell. They will ha\e to get water or come
after ours pretty soon, and they had just as well
move a little closer.
Tin fireman's park needs attention, the street
sprinkling question ought be looked after, the
sales day needs some new stimulant adminis-
tered. the street and square need paving, and
forty-seven other things need attention from the
Business League. Why not get to work again— 1
everybody has certainly had an opportunity to
get well rested.
C.M.t'wi i.i will have probably four new brick
business houses erected thia year, and that speaks
well enough for the condition of the town, finan-
cially and from the standpoint of trade. Business
bricks are not built unless there is a demand for
them and the owners can get a reasonable divi-
dend on their investment.
....We have at the beginning of the \ear one of
thi" lamest and best assorted stocks ol lurni-
turo and I ruliTtakors' («nods wo haw o\rr car-

Something Caldwell Needs Also.
H.olet-vtile Herald
A social or atnletic club is badiv
needed in Halle'.sville. It is
an institution that would be an
instantaneous success and would
appeal not on v to the younjji-r
people but also their elders.
Why not organize one' It 's
Himple and inexpensive consider-
ing the benefits derived. An uf>-
per building could lie rented at
a nominal monthly rent and fit-
ted up with billiard and pool
tables, domino table-., bowling
allev and the various athletic
appliances. A reading room
could be conducted in conne, tion
and all the best monthly maga-
zines subscribed for. Bathroom*
could be installed and a porter
employed to keep the place clean
and to attend to the wants and
run the errands of the members.
In addition toa small admittance
fee dues of not more th;in -1 ""
per month would keep it run-
ning. Ladies mifhts could be
established «hen the wue*. sin-
ters, mothers, sweetheart , etc..
of the members could attend and
enjoy themselves. All it takes
to get the movement started is
for an energetic man or two to
start a list and secure subscrib-
ers. When vour friends come
to town it will he a pía e where
you can tahe them instead of
letting them hang or loaf around
the streets twirling their thumbs
in idleness.
