Walton. upon the subject of manu- #actories. It will surely be welcom- vd- by everybody as a move of the right kind and at a propitious mo- ment. Itis a proposition trom a ‘utsiness man and property holder whose success will entitle his judge- «ent in the premises to thoughtful consideration and. we trust ‘speedy sction. For a decade past the press of this city has been slmest unceasing in urging upon the business public the necessity ot establishing manufacto- vies 2n Butler. Some punny efforts have been made at times in that direc- tion, but no substantial results have been attained. The matter is now brought forward by one of the city’s largest property holders and public spirited citizens with such earnestness and in such a business like manner that its effect we confidently believe, wall be of a more permanent charac- ter. Manufactories is the hfe-blood of all great cities, and all who are con— versent with in such matters know this to be true. Where is the reason why such establishments can not be conducted in Butler just as success- fully as in any other city in the Uni- ted States. As Mr. Walton truth- fully states, a grander agricultural ceuntry is not to be tound, timber is plenty, fuel cheap and the cost of fiving is much less than in many oth- er localities where manufacturing es- éablishments are largely and success- fally operated. Mr. Waltons argument is diffrent frem what many might have expected “We waves all question as to the ne- <essity ot such an enterprise und -takes the ground squarely as x busi- 8S proposition that it will pay the - stockhelders a liberal dividend. To | all sagacious business men we deubt -agt such reasoning will appear sound | Chere is such wisdom in the sugges- | «ions that confidence in the success | of the enterprise is instilled in every} mand that gives the subject any care- tul thought. eet Now, as this very important enter- | ‘cise to Butlers present and future, | s been at last started in so encour- ‘ging a manner, it behooves every | susiness man and property holder te ; <ousider well the subject and its | bearing upon the present situation of | affairs, The Tass would. respect- { ‘ully suggest that 2 private ineeting | si such citizens as would co-operate ' with Mr. Walten be held, and there | and then begin the move upen a sol- j td basis. Let those who have no; money to invest in the enterprise take ' s backseat.

Two weeks ago I wrote the Times from Mobeetie, a small town situated in the upper part Panhandle about two hundred miles north of here.

THE TEXAS COW -BOY. Any description of Texas, at least | the stock raising portion, would be incomplete without some rétterence to ithe ‘Vexas cow-boy. Tothe average citizen living in this and other States east and north, the Texas cow-boy appears to be a sort of human :men- joftherr true character. To prove | the eroncousness of suchdmpressions lit 1s necessary to spend only a few | weeks with this class of men in their humble but hospitable dwell- ling places throughout the western | successfully with considerable phys- | partand the Panhandle of the “ureat | anes Star State. It requires from en to fifty Cow-boy’s to mann a if ranch, and they live in dug-outs. as jarule, with dirt floors and other | things to correspord. Their diet 1s j oread, meat and coffee. Itis a rare ithing they sit down to any bet- ter meals. But they are satisfied with this and grow fat and healthy. They are considered by the world as being a very roughclassofmen. So they are in some respects. But they !are badly misrepresented by these unacquainted with them. They lead a hard, rough life and it is not to be expected of them that their manners and habits should be as _re- fined and graceful as the average dry goods salesman in Butler. A more generous, whole-souled, big- hearted set of men are not to be found anywhere. Many of them, at some time or other, have been nursed inthe lap of luxury and re- finement, and itis with pride and pleasure that they reter to the home of their childhood and the happy sur- roundings away back in the States. If the stranger is ot a turn to mix he will be considerately treated by the Cow-boy ; if he stands back as if too high-toned to partake of such hospi- talittes as they have to offer, he had better be anywhere else than among them. THE END. As Isard above the trip threugh the Panhandle was made with a freight train, it was long and tire- somc.. But camp life has many agreeable features even though the journey 1s over wild prairies and hudge sand hills. ‘Vhe bess of the outfit, Mr. James Cummings, was an old cowboy and would interest us by relating thrilling stories of ad- venture inthe earlier days of the West. The rest of the party con- sisted of “Biil,’? ‘*Ben,’’ Will,’’ We ‘John’? and the Times man. were indeed a jolly crowd, which made the time comparatively short to the correspondent although he confesses to have been awfully homesick. A better or more gen- erous outfit never pulled the lines over tour mules than these sturdy fellows, and long will be the agree- able circumstances ot the journey liye in the memory of the writer.
