The old-time country mercb*
ant changed his advertisments
in the local paper about twice a
year, and usually he made the

overcoats in the summer and
straw hats in January. It is
not an uncommon sight to read
in May and June the interesting

The Texas Mesqulier, printed
by Representative JohnJE. Davis,
says “The Mesquiter hopes
that Gov. Colquitt will submit to
the special session of the legis-

Nealus bill to prevent the jsillu-
tion of Texas streams. It is-a
measure that ought to take little
time for passage, because there
is no good reason why people
should lae allowed to pollute the
streams and a dozen good
sons why they should not.”
Upton Sinclair, at a vegetarian
banquet at Rattle Creek, said of
a social reform he disliked:
"That social reform is as foolish
and ridiculous as the reform
attempted by Tom Haines. Tom
was playing checkers in the
general store with a man who
kept looking at the clock. ‘Be
cause,’ said man, f see by the
Sunday paper that every time
that clock ticks old John D. is

A Texas city claims the dis-

in the United States in propor-
tion to its population. The city
boasting of this honor is Victoria,
in Victoria county, and out of a
population of only 4000 there are
eight millionaires and one hun-
dred men worth a quarter of a
million dollars. The wealth of
Victoria and the surrounding
country was acquired largely
through the cattle business, this
city being what is termed in Hie
