.4 WISE SUGGESTION.
In an interview yesterday Charles DeWare,
President of the Young Men's Business Asso-
ciation, stated that inasmuch as the Washing-
ion County Fair is now a thing of the past, the
people ought to get busy and pay more atten-
tion to better roads and better streets.
The suggestion was a wise one in every par-
ticular.
The Banner-Press hopes sincerely that the
suggestion of Mr. DeWare wi'l be productive
of satisfactory and practical results.
The Fair is a matter of history. It did a
lot of good and next year will, no doubt, be
much better than ever. But whether it was
not as good as it should have been, or whether
it will ever be as good as it ought to be, are
questions that do not concern the people of
Brenham. to a very great extent, just at this
time. The question, now that demands atten-
tion ar consideration, is- what we are going to
Brenham and all the Brenham

Mayor Woolridge of Austin has given orders
for the segregated district to be closed October
1 of this year. The inmates, about '200 in
number .blame the mayor, the Austin Daily
Tribune and the ministers of Austin with be-
ing responsible for the order of closing. The
good citizens of Austin should feel proud that
they have such a mayor, such a newspaper and
such courageous ministers of the gospel. The
people of the State who send their sons and
daughters to the State University, and who be-
lieve in decency and order, will hail with de-
light the action taken.—Upshur County Echo.
Mayor Wooldridge as a general thing can be
'depended on to do the proper thing at the
proper time. He demonstrated this long be-
fore he came to Texas, when he occupied a
high position in Bethel college at Russellville,
Ky., where he taught for years. He is a cred-
it to Austin.—Fort Worth Record.
Mayor Wooldridge is a hustler and if every
town and city in Texas had a mayor like him,
business of all kinds would be a great deal bet-
ter than it is. There is no doubt of this—
none in the least.
o
With a country hog show and a county poul-
try show, it wouldn't take much more to put
on a county fair. Think it over. That is
what we ought to have every year.—Sherman
Democrat.
Now you have said something; and you can
add much to it as to what can be made to fol-
low a good hog show. Hogs are prosperity
promoters, and a good display of them at your
show will lead to greater interest in hog rais-
ing in your county, which would mean pros-
perity for those who raise them. Hogs are
better than cotton and the demand for them
at good prices is growing year after year. Keep
up your lick and Grayson County will have
reason to thank you.—Ft. Worth Record.
Hogs are not always prtwperity promoters—
• ••ptvially when you meet them on the train.

There is little difference in regard
to the local market this week over
the report which appeared in the
Weekly Kanner-Press one week ago.
There is still a slight tendency
for an advance in price as stated
and this is based on the reports
which have been sent in by the gin-
ners throughout the United States,
by the Weather Bureau and other
agencies whose businesss it is to
keeep tab on this especial feature
of the agricultural life of tlie coun-
! try.
('otton is still coming to the lo-
I cal market at Brenham and farm-
ers seem inclined to bring it ail to
market at the earliest possible date.
The general opinion is that" two
more weeks will about wind up the
picking throughout the county, and
'that by the time the last bale has
been picked farmers will have it in
the gin and on the market.
The tendency to hold in this
county is very slight. Of course,
I here are exceptions to this observa-
tion, but in the main it is true.

Post, Wednesday afternoon cor-
rectly describes the market in the

There was considerable pressure
against the market at the opening.
The cables were colorless, but there
was a renewal .f foreign straddle
Nrtllinfy and scattered realizing or
liquidation, while the selling was
also encouraged by rather a bearish
private review of Texas and Okla
homa conditions.
First prices were 5 points lower
on October and from 13 to 17 points
lower on later months, but the mar-
ket sold about 12 to 19 points, be-
I low list night's during the •••rly
i trading. This decline seemed suffl-
Iclent to attract considerable cover-
ing. The market steadied in con-
sequence, and later rallied 8 or 10
points from the lowest on a renew-
al of bull support, a moderate de-
riiand from trade sources and cov-
ering by early sellers who were in-
fluenced by the unfavorable weath-

inent London statisticians estimat-
mated American crop at 1 ,'1,800,000
bales and the probable world's re-
quirements at 14,500,000 bales.
There were also several other esti-
mates ranging from 13,728.000 up
to 13,850,000 bales, including lint-
ers, but the market remained quiet
as though waiting for fresh devel-
opments with reference to the
Southern spot situation. The offi-

THE STATEMENT
OF CONDITION OF
BANK AT BURTON
In this issue will be found the
' official statement of the financial
condition of the Burton State Bank,
which shows that flourishing Insti-
tution to be in an excellent condition
in everv particular.
Thp total resources amount to al-
1 most a quarter of a million dollars,
and the deposits reach the substan-
tial sum of nearly $200,000, show-
ing in a most satisfactory manner
I the splendid financial condition of
Burton and the surrounding coun-
jty.
The officials of this bank are all
successful business men. and are
' thoroughly qualified, to look after
the Interests of the people they
' represent.
The institution has enjoyed a
; steady and most gratifying growth
I since Its organizaiton and as time
passes will continun to grow strong-
er. and the men in control will al-
Today. one of the well-known doc-
people who lived far in the inte
regarding the practice of today and
; he practice ot- ••• \eral decades ago:
"Times have changed in practical-
ly every respect and ill no profes-
sion is tin t a greater change not
ed than ttya of the medical profes-
sion. It th< olden days when this
country being settled and ev-
erything was in pioneer condition
people had a hard1 time, in many in
aa11c• ;e securing the services Of*
a ph> ic in. and no doubt many peo-
p]e tli .1 i* fore such service coulc>
■a a,ch them, Take for instance
•leople vaio litv.'d far ill the inte
ft
• ior and where the nearest doctoi*
was twenty-five mile-- distant, im-
>gine a; person getting bad -irk in
the night time and having to seno
the distance mentioned for the ser-
vices of a physician. Why, ft would
lie bad enough this day and. titJlf
when most of (he physicians havi.
n automobile and the trip can be
made on good roads to have to go
that <! •' a. ••. but suppose the route
lay ovt : rough roads and on horse-
hack at that. The fate of the sick
■person might ho well imagined un-
der suMi conditions and cireuni"'
stances.
"The medical donee ha made
r'-at s r;(les during the past few
decade', and the practice of medi-
cine is nut accompanied with the
various difficulties which used to be-
•t il on scry hand.
"N( vs Htiflnedies are continuafly
being: prepared, and new applianc-
es invented for the relief of suffer-
ing huiii.anlty,**a.iKi in this respect
the list lws increased to such ex-
tent that at present there is prac-
tically no end to such things. In
fact, nothing has been spared that
will in nny way relieve the suffer-
ing quickly, easily and safely, where-
as, in the olden time, the matter of
frelief was often delayed and accom-
panied by bunglesome methods and
great pain besides, u would take
volumes to tell partially what has
been done In the matter of surgery
alone. This branch of the science
has been developed to such extent
'hat it is now possible to accomplish
the most difficult things in surgery
in a manner that is comparatively
painless and harmless.
"Every precaution that modern
science in this proressron can pos^
sibly place around the lives and
limbB of those who come under Its
fare, is taken and day by day, and
hour by hour, I might say, new dis-
coveries are being made, by men
who are giving their Uf« work tc
the cause of humanity."
