Velasco and The Times.--Karnes
City Reporter.
A not h eli large steamship has
crossed the bar at the mouth of
the Brazos and is now discharg.
ing her cargo at Velasco's wharfs.
The putting at the head oi the
coinage committee of Bland means
that the speaker is giving free
rein to the silver democrats.
Bland began his agitation for the
free and unlimited coinage of
silver away back in 1878, and he
has never let up on it. At the
head of the committee through
whose hands will pass all legisla-
tion relating to silver coinage, he
is in position to do all that he
wants to do in putting silver to
the front, and with a democratic
majority behind him that can do
whatever it has ¡i mind to do, Mr.
Bland will probably he made
happy by getting ;i tree silver
coinage bill through. And then
what will he do for something to
agitate about?—Fort Worth <!a-
zotte.
To the Limestone New-Era:
The Times has never received
but one issue of the Era. What's
the matter)
The Times has the largest pay
roll, the Brazos River Channel &
Dock Co. excepted, of any insti-
tution in the city.
Galveston can not even get
deep artesian water, to say noth-
ing of water on her bar. Poor old
Galveston.
Velasco's great artesian
spouter continues to furnish pure
water at the rate of over one
million gallons daily.
Wonder what enterprising, ad-
vertising, money making scheme
the Houston Post will spring upon
the public next. The Post is "full
uv' 'em.
The Courier Journal and the
St, Louis Republic both censure
Mr. Crisp in strong terms for his
treatment of Mr. Mills and say
that he is stronger with the people
to-day than he ever was.
Stye. De^er lu/r\ber Qomp'y.
Banks may burst, cashiers run
away, Garza revolutionize Mex-
ico, but The Times will continue
forever.
Ualveston's Chamber of Com-
merce letter said that they had
"some sixteen feet of water" and
"that water on the bar was deeper
to-day than i( ever was." We
don't doubt it, Galveston bar has
been deepening for the past
twenty years—at a cost to the
United States government of over
1100,000 per inch or $1,800,000 per
foot, while $1,500,000 put 18 feet
of water on the Brazos bar in less
than 12 mouths.
Now that the Christmas hol-
lidays are over work on jetties, the
electric railroad, the big hotel at
Surf Side, the Velasco Terminal
railroad and the wharfs, will be
pushed to completion.
Tile Times appreciates all fa-
vors remembers thein and will re-
pay them when you least expect
it. It will not always be "a bant-
(ling" daily, but will ere many
more months rolls round be the
leading paper of the south-west.
The Velasco Daily Times is
a hummer and the latest venture
in daily journalism that com-
mands general attention all over
South Texas, and a good portion
of the United States besides.—
Richmond South Texan.

Every business man in Velasco
should be represented in the
Datly Times. The proprietors
; are doing more than their part to-
í wards advertising Velasco and
1 the property owners and business
men are getting the benefit nf it.
i Come up gentlemen, contribute
your mite in the way of adver-
tising and assist in keeping up a
good lively daily paper in your
city.
It is said that the recent sale of
town lots at Velasco, on the loth,
amounted in the aggregate to near
$400,000; the lots were all vacant,
and this is considered a good sale.
Truly the future seaport of Texas
is in the swim.—Karnes City Re-
porter.
Velasco's cup of pride is filled
to the brim,while Galveston is quale
ing in her brogans and furnishing
prospectors free passes to come
and investigate the advantages she
possesses. Meanwhile the capi-
talists are glad to get property in
Velasco at enormous prices.— Bee-
ville Picayune.
The liveningTribune, published
at Galveston, continues to hurl its
! chunks of gall and jealousy at Ve-
lasco. The Tribune refuses to
exchange with The Times and it
is only through the kindntss of a
friend that The Times ever sees
a copy.
The water 011 the bar is deep-
ening at a rapid rate. There will
be twenty feet of water in less
than twelve months.
