The sleepers are beginning to
sit up arid notice things, though
the sound of the hammer may yet
be heard as of yore.
Somr of these days Brownsville
is going to wake up with wet feet
and eyes blinded by the light and
find herself a city of 20,000.
Lights and Water.
The mass meeting at the court
house this morning, called for the
purpose of-discussing the question
of securing lights and waterworks
for Brownsville, and of devising
ways and means to that end, at 10
o'clock organized with William
Kelly as chairman pro-tempore and
John Bannon as secretary. Lapt.
Kelly explained the object of
the j meeting and made very
clear and forcible the urgent, im
perative, necessity of water and
liehts for the town, .to aid it in its
future development and growth.
Owen Ford, a capitalist of St.
Louis and an expert in the matter J
of lights and waterworks, then ad
dressed the meeting and laid before
them his proposition. He said if
the city of Brownsville would raise
$25,000 of the $60,000 necessary to
install water and (lights, he would
put id $75,000, leaving $40,000 as
a cash reserve for initial expenses
and as a guaranty sinking fund.
He asks the citizens to' raise $10,-
000 at once, that amount of cash
being necessary to secure a charter,
and to guarantee $lo,000 more
when it may be needed and he will
at once organize the company,
have the bonds issued, bearing
6 per cent interest and payable in
twenty years.
He proposes to take the franchise
ately signed by the City Counci
and says that of the people of
Brownsville will make up their
Dart of the amount, he stands
ady to furnish his part and wil
go to work at once, or as soon as a
charter can be secured. There
had already been subscribed some
$20,500 of the amount needed by
the citizens and this morning the
following persons present volun
teered the following additional
amounts, most of them having
already subscribed:
John Bartlett... $100
L. Brulay 125
J. Bollack 100
J. K. Combe 1Q0
A. Cueto 100
W. F. Dennett 100
E- C. Foito 200

In this great land of ours,
every American's wife is his
queen, his sisters are his princesses
and his friends are his faithful,
loviag subjects. His realm is
meaitred by the distance he has
gone into other destinies.
Shadowed Home.
Never dawns a bright "anniver
sary that has not its shadowed side.
Never is there a home to which
sooner or later grief does not come.
At the Thanksgiving board this
year, as in other years, there will
be vacant chairs, and the household
of the sorrowing continually is re
cruited by those to whom has come
the pang of io3s. It is not easy to
understand why trials so often come
to those who seem to need no harsh
discipline, and from our limited
experience we cannot tell why it
is that one is taken and another
left. One thing we may do, and
that is trust. We may safely trust
a love that is greater than ours and'
may safely leave our vanished dear
ones in the care of Him who gave
them to us.
If our hearts were but more simple,
We should take Him at His Word,
And our lives would bejall sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
With, tie exception of the stage
villain- every man has his good
points.
Total $900
This reduces the amount yet to
be raised to $38,000 audjit is almost
certain that it will be subscribed
without any difficulty. The fol
lowing were appointed to solicit
the subscription of the amount yet
needed and will go to work at once
F. Yturria, W. M. Ratcliffe, Jas
B. Wells, Wm. Kelly, S. L. Dwor-
mau, J. G. Fernandez.
John Bannon was also appointed
to see the subscribers and collect
from them the $10,000 necessary
to secure the charter, being author
ized to issue receipts for same, re
citing the receipt of each amount
as behifr of the subscription to the
electric light and waterworks fund
of Brownsville, and reciting the
fact that upon the issuance of the
stock of the company, said receipts
would be received as navnient for
shares to the amount of the face
value of the receipt.
The meeting there adjourned
sine die and will be reconvened by
call.
Good Times.
The recent blizzard sent the price
of cotton skyward and it also pushed
up the price of rice nearly 25 cents
per sack. The farmers who had
their crops ready for the market
profited from the raise, but the
frost nipped many a bale of cotton,
and there is danger that cold winds
blasted hundreds of sacks of rice.
Despite this, however, this promises
to be the most prosperous year in
the history of both the rice adn
cotton farmer if they can only
secure the labor necessary to har
vest the crops yet in the fields.

Nothing takes the ambition out
of men more effectually than an
easy chair.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot'
reach the diseased portion of xhe ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an" inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Onre. Send for circulars Jree.
