REFUGIC78 FUTURE.
The question that now both-
ers the minds of many, is: If we
get the railroad, will the big
land owners in Refugio county
be willing to sell. This is a hard
question to answer, and it is np'
vo tlm said' land owners to settle
the matter. The upbuilding of
the town, and thecounty.iu gene-
tal, depends upon part, at least,
of these immense tracts being
sold for farming purposes, and
unless this be done Refugio will
never grow into importance as
it should. It is estimated that
it takes on an average of four
acres of range land to support
one steer. It will take at least
three years before this steer is
in desirable shape for market.
Say he will sell for $25. Take
these same four acres that are
safe to say, however, that the
construction train will be within
the limits of West Brownsville
by Thursday of next week, the
9th inst.

Because of the prevailing- high
prices paid for the staple last fall
the farmers of the South have
planted a largely increased cot-
ton acreage. It will be in keep-
ing with the usual run of things,
in this tricky business world if,
just as the “big surplus” is being-

pnist to understand the truth of
this argument, but in order to
prove its truth we will mention
an instance whereby this state-
ment is verified. The farmers
of west Texas are now market-
ing their immense onion crop.

44,000 pounds per acre on un-
fertilized land. Say, at the very
lowest estimate, the onions sell
at 1c per pound. There is $44
m the farmer’s pocket off of one
acre of land, and it takes four
acres on which to raise one $25
steer. The onion crop is gather-
ed and soid every year while it
is three years before the steer is
ready to sell. Now, onions is
only one of the many things the
soil in this county will produce.
Every land owner in this section
has a, veritable “gold mind” in
each acre of ground he possesses,
if it is put to a proper use. The
future welfare and upbuilding of
Refugio depends on some of the
land being sold, and if this is
clone the old town will rap’dly
forge to the front, and be known
as the queen city of the coast
country.

You can tell a successful fann-

slouchy woman by looking at
her hair; yon can tell the dry
goods box- states in ail by thei
patches on his pantaloons. Yout
can tell the poisonous serpent by
the bluntness or his tail. But
the easiest thing of all, yon can
tell the enterprising merchant
by a glance of the local papers.

business and gospel truth.—Mt,

The papers are having much
to say about the red aut as a
boll weevil destroyer. A num-
ber of red ants in Guatemala are
to be brought to Victoria, Tex-
as, which is the headquarters for j
the government work m this line j
and where they have a splendid-
ly equipped labratory and a very
capable force of experts. Up at
San Antonio the people are say-
ing that the common Texas red
ant is just the same or as good
as the Guatemala ant. One Jose
Cassino, it is claimed, is proving
it, the red ants on his place are
already clearing; his field of the
weevil.—Corpus Christ! Caller.

Not long since, it was stated
that Port Arthur was ltnpregna-
ble and tire Russians sympath.z-
ed with tlie fanatical Japs bent
upon only timirown destruction;
next it was learned that Russia
proposed to leave the fortress to
its fme and Japanese capture;
low we hear that Russia deems
Port Arthur not only pregnable
but important aud that she will
endanger her whole campaign
by going- to its relief. In the
mean while, Japan seems to con-
