Orange waterworks judged unprofitable for city
In the Orange area the waterworks system is deemed a white elephant by the Orange Leader, with discussions of selling to a capable company that would provide fire protection while shedding operating costs. A new Calvert Waco and Brazos Valley line is proposed to link Fort Worth and Houston, aiding Gould interests and shortening freight routes to Galveston. The plan may be tied to the International and Great Northern, potentially reducing freight distances by about 150 miles and affecting New Orleans shipments. Mrs Lillie Thompson Richter endorses Premium Baking Powder for healthful results and a money-back guarantee. The Cemetery Association invites visitors to attend a Koffee Klatch at Mrs John N Henderson's on Jan 28 to raise funds for cemetery work. An update notes H J Putney resuming piano tuning work after illness and storm damage. The cemetery association also plans a Kaffee Klatch on Jan 23 with a musical program. Forty acres in Bryan available for rent through S M Derden. The A and M college seeks old horses for dissection. A registered Jersey cow is for sale via Jeff Cole.
