THE TERMINALS
At Bay City to Be Put in Proper Shape
2t Once.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1905.
WE need fire protection very
badly, but such a thing is positive
ly ridiculous to talk about unless
-we had asj'stem of waterworks.
This we have not so the best thing
to do is to get waterworks.
Here isa morsel for the fellow
who is always harping on the high
price ofland, water rate, etc., in
the Brownsville country. On more
than one acre of land there have
been gathered and shipped as
many as three hundred and fifty
"FWIish neas and at least
a hundred more boxes gathered commercial importance. In the be-
The following is from a dispatch
to the Houston Post from Bay City
and shows thai work is being pros
ecuted all alone the line of the
St. B. &M. The dispatch says:
G. W. Hubbard of Hubbard &
Shaw, subcontractors under Mc
Cabe & Stein, arrived today with
his family and. several cars of mate
rial and a construction outfit to go
to work on the yard and depot im
provements of the Gulf Coast Line
in Bay City. They will consist of
separate passenger and freight de
pots, water tank and section houses.
The passenger station is to be a
handsome, modern brick, a dupli
cate of the ones at Kingsville and
Brownsville, at a cost of $10,000.
The people appreciate the enter
prising spirit of the new road in
giving Bay City metropolitan im
provements in recognition of her
It
to
which will be used for seed,
did not cost a dollar per box
grow, pick and market the crop,
and the returns averaged about
this sum. Now, if you can figure
at all you can easily, see that land
in the Brownsville country is not
high.
The . Herald feels that our cit
izens should regard with a great
deal of-pride the efforts of our con
gressman. Hon John N. Garner,
in behalf of this section. And what
may be said of his work for this
part of his territory is also true of
the other sections represented by
him. Through his efforts Browns
ville is to be furnished with daily
weather forecasts, an experimental
station is to be established here,
and parties who have applied for
fish with which to stock tanks,
resaeas etc., have been notified
that their applications have been
iavorably considered, and the
supply of fish, mostly black bass,
-will be shipped at the proper time.
.All these and more have been
obtained through the instrumen
tality of Mr. Garner. Of course
due credit should be given some of
the more progressive citizens of
Brownsville who have taken special
interest in such matters, but to
Jno. W. Garner is particular credit
due for the personal interest he has
displayed. Mr. Garner has proven
himself a true friend of this b por
tion of his district, and The Her
ald feel that he is entittled to the
welcome plaudit, "Well done."

George Meyer, a farmer of the
" jBerclair neighborhood aud a pio
neer in the use of arsenic as a boll
weevil remedy, was in town Sat
urday. He called at the Bee office
to say that he put little faith in
"'that St. Louis man's alleged dis
covery that castor bean meal would
run the weevil out of the fields if
placed on the land. Like the oxide
or iron, or red paint plan, he
thinks it a scheme to help the
- farmer get rid of money rather
than the weevil. Beeville Bee.
ginning of construction McCabe &
Stein established constructing head
quarters at Bay City for the divis
ion between Alvin and Sinton, a
distance of nearly 200 miles. They
have a round house and machine
shops here and in a few days their
whole construction force will be
brought in from Sinton to lay track
from Bay City west. This is quite
an acquisition to Bay City- business.

Brownsville, Tex., April 13, 1905.
A young preacher in an uptown
church was much struck last Sun
day by the seeming effect his
sermon was having upon one of his
congregation, a shabbygenteel man
with white hair, who, throughout
the entire discourse, sat with head
bowed in deeply reverent attitude.
After the service the minister
pushed his way too the man and
proudly said:
I am glad to note that my
sermon affected you. Did it make
you see the error of your ways?
Oh! It wasn't that," said the
man sheepishly. You see, my
waistcoat is to short and I had to
bend over to hide ray shirt."

a-ested by Constable Pettit on a
hnr(T nf intoxication and disor
derly conduct, pleaded guilty by
tofonhone. When he was inform
ed of the $14 fine by the Justice in
hp. ncrmed to send the
amount by mail. The case is uui
que in Central Illinois jurispru
deuce.
Constable Pettit was sent down
fliv the Lincoln court to serve the
-warrant. He found Willard busily
.engaged in a cornfield and read the
warranty to him. Willard agreed
that it was all right, but pointed to
the work he was doing aud declar
ed that he could not possibly lose a
dav or two bv driving to Lincoln
and waiting for a trial.
He suggested the use of the tele
.ohone. and when the Constable
somewhat dubiously acquiesced the
two repaired to the farmhouse.
Finally they got connection with
Justice Rudolph in Liucoln, and
over the wire the umciue trial was
held. Today the Justice received
a letter with the money' inclosed.
It is a great help to admit fail
ure, to conress a taint. tor, when
we really understand why we fail
ed we will not onl'v take courage,
learn success from failure, but have
charity for all who, like ourselves,
are striving and failing. Southern

Books.
What a sense of security in an
old book which time has criticised
for us: Lowell.
We should make the same use of
a book that the bee does of a flow
er. She steals sweet from it, but
does not injure it. Colten.
My maxims are never to begin a
book without finishing it, never to
consider it without knowing it,
and to studv with a whole mind.
Buxton.
Books are the masters who in
struct us without rods and ferules,
without hard words and anger
