changed by the magic touch of civil-
ization. The lonely ranchman was
the first spark of light to illuminate
Coleman county and the great west,
and clothe it in a civilized raiment.
It is due to the nerve of the stalwart
frontiersman that the change in the
west has been made; but it is due to
his successors that the work started
has progressed at such a wonderful
race.
The frontiersman laid the founda-
tion, and his successors—the men of
today—built it. AU the ^heroes of
today are as grand and great as any
that have ever preceded them. The
lonely ranchman had many trying
hours in his efforts to- civilize this
country, and we would not take one
word of praise from him, but he was

Brownwood Discontinues Concerts.
(Daily Bulletin )
The Sunday afternoon concerts at
the Lyric theatre are to be din nt in -
tied, according to announcement bv
the management. The reason as.-igaed
is the heavy expense incurred by
reason of the concerts. An effort was
made to secure subscriptions from
the public so that these concerts could
be continued. Only a feeble response
to the call for subscriptions was
nnvle, however, ami the management
of the theatre, rather than carry an
ever-increasing deficit, decided to dis-
continue the concerts atfer last Sun-
day afternoon.
The concerts have been given the
hearty endorsement of the musically
inclined people of the city, and the
Federated Clubs at their last meeting
gave their unqualified endorsement.
The concerts have been" attended by
more than eight hundred people each
Sunday, and were regarded as a treat
by all who attended. No admission
was charged and the free will offer-

ing was a mere pittance. -It is under-
stood that several plans are now un-
der consideration hy which it is hoped
that after the lapse of a week or two
the concerts may be begun again, to
be free to the public as heretofore,
but.not with the whole expense fall-
ing upon the shoulders of the Lyric
n anagement. It is not the intention
of the theatre people to operate the
concerts for profit, and no plan'ex-
cept that of the free concerts as
heretofore given would be f nsidered
by Mr. Armstrong. -> # '
