Terms One Hollar a Year
The Bartlett Tribune has en-
tered its eighteenth year full of
life and carrying a fine lino of
business. There is a good fut-
ure to the Tribune. Western
Publisher.
The above from the leading
paper of the printing fraternity
is peculiarly gratifying. Of
course a good word occasionally
from our local contemporaries is
pleasant and always appreciated.
But a prediction like the last
sentence in the above and from
suoh a source is inspiring to
those concerned, and strengthens
resolutions and efforts to make
the prediction a fact in the pres-
ent and future.
Few people outside the lrntern-
ity can concieve of the intense
solicitude of a publisher for the
auccess of his publication Per-
haps no business enlists the
soul in its behalf more thorough-
ly. The affeotion of a mother
for her child doubtless exceeds
that of a publisher for the crea-
tion of his heart and brain, but
there is no space between these,
large onough for any other can-
didate for the affections.
That the Tribune may increase
in respectability and usefulness
to its friends and patrons and to
its publisher is the one hope
that crowns all others.
There is much talk of the I. &
G. N. extending from George-
town, via Walburg, Cornhill,
Salado, Bolton, Moody to Waco.
Considering that tne I. & G. N.
has long been an" active adver-
sary to the Katy and that the
Katy by its cut .off via George-
town to Austin and on to San
Antonio invades I. & G. N. terri-
tory, it is but natural to expect
that the I. & G. N. will strike
back and with the unlimited cap-
ital of the Goulds behind it, no
telling what will happen. It is
ot a contest in which the Trib-
une would have any more weight
than the gnat on the ox's horn,
and it wants its neighbors to have
good things and prosper but its
allegiance and good will is with
its home road always.
The Tribune is oxtromely
grateful for the many kind ex-
pressions of friends, endorsing'
its change from patont to all
home print. Wo were induced
to make this chango for the sim-
ple reason that we felt that our
readers would appreciate a paper
strictly devoted to the interests
of the community rather than
one filled with "stale stuff"
which, a week previous, had
been filtered through all the
semi-weeklies, whioh is all that
a patent side amounts to.
Our neighbor, the Granger
Times is heels over head in the
discussion of presidential candi-
dates for 1904. Ho is shooting
heavy shot, apparently at Mr.
Bryan. It may bo irreverent,
but ho reminds one pf the Scotch-
man who wished to jump a ditch
and took a running start of two
miles, and when he got to the
ditohjhe. had to lie down and rest
befpro he could oven crawl over.

Airs. R. E. L. Powell, saleslady
at Leslie & Lindsey's attended
the picnic at Mayo's Park and re-
ports having seen quite a lot of
good lo oking ladies with familiar
dresses from her firm.
We were afforded the pleasure
of being at the picnic and witness-
ing the ball game between Hol-
land and Bartlett. If the weather
had bten favorable everybody
within reach would have been
there. We are not sorry it rain-
ed but sorry the picnic was not
set for one of the fair days.
Many of the young men called
at our store en route to the picnic
and bought a new midget tie and
one of those new style low col-
lars. There are plenty more
left.
Damage Suit Settled.
Temple, Texas, June 10. The
damage suit of Mrs. Lizzie How-
ard of Temple against the Santai
be Railway Company for the
death of her husband, D. J. How-
ard, an engine hostler, killed in
an accident at the Temple Round-
house two years ago, has been
decided in Mrs. Howard's favor,
the Texas Supreme Court' finding
for Mrs. Howard in the only di:.-
nutcd point raised in the Court of
Appeals. This practically settles
the case and tltt benificiaries will
receive the whole amount of the
judgement for $8,000 awarded uy
the trial court.
Fattios 13, Bonea 12.
Granger, Texas, June iu.
In a hotly contested ball game
between the Fatties and Bones

Antonio, would bo via George-

Temple. Texas June 9--A promi-
ent citizen- of this town exposes
the method in whitch tne writing
on eggs in made of whitch much
is now being saidi Only a few
days ago an egg was found at
Denton on which some startling
command was written in raised
letters. He saying that the pro-
cess in which it is done is very
simple. Only write on the shell
of the egg with tallow then place
the egg in vinegar and Jcave for
six hours and take out and you
have the exact words you had
written on the shell with tallow.
"Store Nows" edired by Loslio
& Lindsey, is a now departure in
the columns of tho Tribune and
ono which our readers will find
to be quite interesting each week
It.is a step from tho usual stereo-
type method or advertising and
while it will contain many itoms
of personal interest there Will ale
ways be showers of bargains, for
tho readers of tho Tribune. It is
hoped that all will observo this
new feature each week.
Many citizens dosire to know
if any steps have boon takon (pr

do not represent their real worth.
These opportunities arise fr'm
various causes. Too many goods
in the hands of merchants: the
need of ready cash and broketi '
assortments, which natural.y arise,'
from a thrifty business", are some
of the most common. The Store'
News offerings this week iti
Lawns, Organdies and Fancy j
waisHngs are timely, seasonable- f
and very much to the interest ef "J
any costumer who is in need of -
a single item in this line. ' ,
The bummer season is scarcely v $''
opened yet and you can antici-
pate your wants and buy now and
have with a certainty such goods
as you may need, at closing out
summer prices.
The floods in S. C. destroyed
at Pacolet over three million dol-
lars worth of cotton mills, which
means about 200,000 spindles
stopped indefintely. Ordinarily
this may have its effect upon the
market in causing a raise in cot-
ton goods, Cotton reached 13 1-2
cents this week. We are glad to
say that the Store News firm an-
ticipated their wants in cotton
goods before the advance.
The ladies claim the "Puritan"

able fitting corsets sold in Bart-
lett. Picnic at Last.
Owing to the unusually heavy
rain that fell in Bartlett and vic-
inity on Wednesday morning the
picnic was postponed till Thurs-
day, but as it rainod again on
Wednesday evening tho manage-
ment concluded that the attend-
ance would bo so small that it
would bo best to further postpone
it, whioh they did, by dismissing
the Cleburne brass jband, which
they had engaged for' tho occas-
ion, and by notifying towii along
tho lines of tho railway from
whioh excursionists wore ex-
pected. Thursday morning dawn-
ed bright and sunny with a Btrong
north wind which soon "crusted"
the "ground. People who had'
not hoard that tho picnic had
been postponed began to gather
for tho purpose of having a days
outing with its attendant pleas-
ures, whereupon it was decided
to havo the picnic. The country
people, who never fni' to do their
pait upon suoh ocoasions, turn-
ed out with baskets well filled
with good things and all had a .
pleasant time. '
It is estimated that from 1600
2,500 people were in attondanoe.
Chief among tho amuBomonts
wore: Hobby horse riding, with
Unole Mart Roberts as fiddler,
and a game of baso ball botwoeii'
H$nrtlott and Holland teams, re-
sulting in a sooro of 20 to 0 in
favor of Holland. Too muoh
praise cannot bo bestowed upon-
our courteous and efficient R. R,
agont, Mr. Tom Matlock, for his
efforts to rnako the. occasion a
success,
