Caldwell, Texas, February 8, 1907.
TWO MODEL COUNTRY WEEK LIES.
WACO TKJBt'NI'.
If there is a town of nut over 2,000 or 2,500
-population in Texas or any other state with a
newspaper more newsy. enterprising, neat and
up-to-date as Mciiregor, wc do not know of that
town. The Mirror, at McGregor, is a steady
credit to ita town. Typographically it is a
beauty and its reading matter is first-class.
The people of McGregor ought to be proud of
ths Mirror and wc have no doubt but they are.
Caldwell, down in Burleson county, is a con-
siderably larger town than McGregor. Other-
wise the News-Chronicle of Caldwell would take
*be palm. It is an ideal country weekly, so rec-
<ognized and spoken of over Texas—the ideal
for neat typography, fine paper (Lee Joiner
usee book paper), and as to its contents it is con-
tactad with aiogular ability. Such papera do
credit to their towns and people—and if the
writer were not anchored and satisfied where he
is (with The Tribune") he would be proud to be
coaaected with the Mirror or News«Cbronicle—
Tbaaks, Brother McCollum, for your kind in-
-dorae«eat of the Nuws-Chronicle, but just no-
tice tbat the last census only gives uslOO tbe ad van-
tage of McGregor, in the matter of population.
Of coarse Caldwell is going to be a great deal
tifger Ibas McGregor as soon aa we build tbe
coitos «ill aad a few other factories, tbat is, if
the McGregor people and tbe McGregor paper
don't beat aa to it. At any rate tbe Nkws*
Cmomcuc coasiders it a compliment to be classed
with sack papera as tbe McGregor paper, re-
gardless of tbc sise of tbe town.
With tbe moat prosperous year io ber history,
with new firma goiag into business, new business
bouse being built, a big demaod for more busi-
ness bosses snd residences, and an increase in
population every month, and with tbe town and
coaotrjr is aacb shspe financially tbat several new
enterprises could be established here in 1907, the
demise of tbe Bosiaess League is a step back-
ward right at tbe time tbat we ought to be put-
ting osr beat foot foremost and getting ready to
dotbisga. Caldwell and Burleson county have
ande considerable progress in many ways in tbe
past five years, aad much of this progreaa ia
traceable, either directly or mdirectly, to tbe
work of tbe CntdweD Business League, in npite
•f tbe fact tbat the laborera have been few asd
tbat only a small part of the good tbiaga have
beta neenmpiished that conld hnve bees dose if
sN partienconcerned bad ukenan nctive interest.
The record of tbe Besinees League is one tbat
sbonld hnve received tbe besrty approbation of
•very «Mara of tbe couaty, and tbat abould bave
iaaarad gventcr efforts in tbe future, inntend of
it being killed by absolute lack of internet by
everybody. Well, there is one thing certain,
lbs town tbat drope a good propoaition like tbe
Booéeoao Leagnc ia eurc to regret it, and in nn.re
to be the loner thereby in mnny ways. If we
conM get rid of a few of our most progrcaaive
mercbaots, and atop the wheels of the various
amall industrien here, nnd cense tbe publication
of a newspaper, we would be merely following
tbe pstb we bsve ntnrted on tbe first of n new
year. Why, Oh wbythiacouditioo of affairs?
REGARDING A BRICK YARD FOR CALDWELL.
If ibere ia any aae opportunity apon which
Caldwell is sleeping more than another it is apon
tbe enterprise of a brick yard. Btacc this «alter
baa bona suggested ia the Nnw^Canoaicuc com-
ments are beard everv day on tbe fact that there
are aa better bricb ia Caldwell than tbat which
wae CMkde right here, with Bnrlenoa county Inaor,
out of Burleson conaty dirt, and kept the money
right ia Barlsaaa ennnty. The bricb ia here to
ow lor itself, and abowa tbat it stands tbe
weather better than nny brick ever abipped into
Caldwell, tboagb many of the bricb yards over
tbe elate are repreaented in tbn buildings tbat
have been built in tbe peat fiv# years.
There is plenty of clav suitable to the manu-
facture of brick right on tbn railroad track,
where every shipping facility could be had.
Tbe land can be bought at a reasonable price;
labor is just as plentiful and ju t as cheap aa at
aoy point in the state; the demand is good for
brick all the time, and the output could be sold
at profitable prices just as faat as it could be
placed on tbe cars.
This enterprise would employ a great deal of
labor; would make a payroll that would mean an
increase in the trade of the town, and all the pro-
fits of the brick trade would come to the town
and help to build it up and enhance property
values. While the amount of brick used in
Caldwell is small in comparison, yet it would be
obtainable at a figure considerably less,on account
of saving in freights, and this would be a stimulus
to buildings of a permanent nature.
Now there are people looking for a location in
this line of business, either desiring to move
their plants or put in new plants, ami it would
be such a simple matter to call the attention of
sucb men to the opportunities here that it
seems absurd that it has not been done long ago.
A few dollars spent in advertising thi-t opportu-
nity in the dailies, and in the trade journals in
that line of business, would result in the open-
ing being investigated and a plant being put in
here that would mean much to the town. And
yet we sit down and turn not a hand to secure
this enterprise which could practically be had for
the asking. There are also a number «>f other
new enterprises that could be secured with a
little work, but to keep the shut from scattering
and not being effective let us concentrate oer
fire on this one proposition, bcate it, un 1 then
take up the next one. It only remain-, for the
citizens to get interested ami make a little effort.
It means YOU, will YOU do something to help
this matter along? Or will YOf take the blame
for the continued inactivity of our town with
many good things just within reach? Forget the
other fellow, he is a poor dependence, what will
YOU do?
Thkrk continues to be a simmering of talk of
a war with Japan, and some of the correspond-
ents writing from the national capita! are begin-
ning to believe there is possibly something be-
hind all this talk. And war experts are already-
beginning to figure on the probable result, and
are showing undisputedly that the United States
is in no condition to undertake a war with Japan,
or with any other first-class power. The Amer-
ican people bave come to believe that they can
whip any people on earth, and have come to this
conclusion because of the fact that American sol-
diers are the most daring and the bravest fighl-
ers on earth. At tbe same time it is figured that
in a first-class war tbe United States could not
arm a proper force with modern arms and ammu-
nition, and put them in the field on an equal basi*
with any of the other lirst-class powers, much
less with Japan, who stands at tbe head for new
inventions for warfare, and for trained soldiers
and strong discipline. It is stated by some, and
with a just measure of reason, that the braves'
soldiers in the world are powerless to win a fight
when equipped with antiquated guns and black
powder, against the modern rifles and smokies*
powders now in use, not to speak of the new ex-
fkfeive* which are kfrown *to the Japanese ex-
clusively. Tbe American people hive always
been the friends oi tbe plucky little Japs, and
any rupture with them will be regretted, but if
it is to come, the government had just as well
get busy aod prepare to put an army and navy
in tbe field with the very best equipment. Of
courage nnd fighting ability they will have a
plenty, but must not be handicapped by a lack of
up-t6 date arsenal. The Japanese are not lacking
in daring or courage, neither in generalship, and
a war with, tbe Japs will be one of tbe bloodiest
ever written on the fMgen of history. In the
meaetimc it is to be bqped that every possible
effort will he made to preeerve tbe friendly rc*
lations eaistisg with the followers of the Mikado,
aod that oar government will he brought to rea-
lice tbat osr msin fighting strenth now consists
of the character of tbe man behind tbe gue, nnd
that be deeerven tbe protection of tbe very Intent
inventions in war implementn if be must be sent
into the field. Just imagine the result of a fleet
of Japanese warship bombarding our coast cities
with the new Sbimose explosives, and reme,nber
tbe Japanese are expert gunners and have had
much recent practice, and then remember that
the Japanese soldier is a fanatic, and has no
higher ambition than to die in some daring ex-
ploit on the field, and you will readily see that it
ia not a case of fighting a few cowardly and badly
armed Spaniards, but a real war, and one that
will fill General Sherman's description to a nicety:
"War is Hell."

try. They lay it all oa the anil

ia it that certain specific farm-
ers out about Modeoa nlwaya
raise as fiee cora, sonad aad
big-cared, as any in any
state. Many farmers plant old
feed corn that tbe muke and
horses won't eat. They wail
uotil corn ought to he knee-high
before they plant, then wait un-
til it is w<itst-bigh before it is
ever plowed and half the time
the soil is one-third plowed
when corn is planted.

so contrary that it will take a

sweet "later," a little Irish "la-

a little coli, and a little calf.

Not many years ago a promi-
nent citizen of Haverhilll was
arrested for the unlawful sale of
liquor. On being searched a
half flask of brandy was found.
That being the only evidence,
the judge charged the jury.
They had been out but five
minutes when they returned and
the foreman queried:
"Your honor, how do we know
the flask contained brandy? I
would like to take the flask into
the jury room."
He was given the flask, and
soon the jury returned.
"Have you agreed?" tbe fore-
man was asked.
"We bave" he answered. "We
find the defendant not guilty,"
and exhibiting tbe now empty
flask, he added: "There waa
not enough evidence to go
around." Tbe defendant waa
diacbarged.
