The Fort Worth Gazette, in its
new dress shines brilliant. Success to
St.
President Cleveland is working un-
Ktil midnight to get Democrats into
the offices.
No boy or girl can be educated un-
less they are furnished good newspa-
pers to read.
The greenville Herald is a wide-a-
vwake newspaper, and deserves the pat-
ronage it is receiving.
The Laredo Times is in earnost
-about wanting Texas Granite. Thu
Times is just right about it too.
The Galveston Nows calls young
men who are aspiring for office,
■"Kids.” Why not call the older ones
♦‘Goats."
The St. Joe (Mo.) Gazette invites
Sam Jones to come there “and hold
•the sinners over the mouth of hell
smntil it scorcos tho wiskers off.’’
This is "a government of the poo-
j|de, by tho people, for the peoplo’’—
-and just now the peoplo are the Dcnt-
» ocratic party. This is a good thing to
zmbi ember.
Tire Galveston News’ movo to Dal*
llae, may bo beneficial to the place, but
aw predict it either marks its own
«death or the Herald’s one. Time
wwill tell the tale.
What curious freaks the American
'people take ! A few months ago they
^turned Chester A. Arthur—a very ex-
- emplary sort of man—out of tho presi-
• dency just because he was a Republi-
• can, and put Grover Clevelann in his
place just because ho was a Democrat.
If, When trade is dull and sales im-
possible, the dry goods men, the boot
And shoe men, tho grocery and all
• other merchants should go out of their
own business and into something else,
as the farmers very often do when
their stock or crops are in like condi-
tion, what a rattling among the things
■ of earth thcro would bo.—Texas Farm
. and Ranch.
The farmers mid planters of the
South are beginning to realize that
they aanhnt hope lor permanent pros-
perity as long as cotton is the sole de-
pendence for money. Consequently,
mixed farming is receiving increased
attention. With a general departure
in this direction, and the building of
factories of *11 kinds now going on, the
South will become tho most prosper-
ous country of the world. This timo
is coming. Reader, help the forward
mVvemont by alligningyoursclfon tho
side of mixed farming.
— - —w—■-—---■
Texas has never had a nioro pleas-
ing outlook fora year ahead than she
can now reasonably boast. The cot-
ton crop of the State will reach 2,000-
000 hales, which at nine cents per
pound, will lie $00 000,000. The
wheat crop is the, largest and best ev-
er raised in Texas. Oats and other
small grain have yielded immensely,
and tho corn crop is something un-
precedented in the history of tho
State. Tho cattle sales this year will
reach fully $10,(MX),000; tho clip of
wool will be worth several millions,
and the income from the sale of horses
mules, lumber and miscellaneous
items, together with the agricultural
droducts, will swell tho volume of
every kind to proportions unparallcd.
1 ■ — 11 —
If the peoplo would call upon their
merchants for Texas products in all
lines, this would force tho merchants
to patronize home manufacturing en-
terprises. We should patronize our
own flour mills, cotton and woolen
mills, foundries and all other Texas
factories, for when the money stays
here every man in business has a con-
tinual chance for it, hut when a dol-
lar leaves the State it never returns.
Our wholesale and retail merchants in
Texas ought to put some of their sur-
plus earnings in Texas factories and
handle Texas goods. Texas with her
commercial business ought to hand-
somely support a few factories in each
line. A united effort of this kind
would pay millions.
Tne St. Louis Republican speaks
our seutimouts when it says that Tex-
as will have this year the largest cot-
ton crop ever raised in the State. It
will bo so large that a portion of it
will go unpi ked and he left to rot in
the fluids unless some arrangements
can be made to secure an extra sup-
ply of picking labor. Along tho Rio
Grande planters are beginning toluol;
to Mexico for laborers, and the Mis-
souri Pacific railway officials propose
to assist in the enterprise by bringing
Mexicans from Laredo and carrying
them at low rates to tho planting dis-
tricts where they are most wanted. If
these Mexican laborers should prove
satisfactory and be content with the
work, they could movo northward
with the gradual ripening of the crop
and be occupied for three months.
Texas needs 20,(XX) extra cotton-pick-
ers.
The prominent colored people of
Faris, Texas, have formed what is’cal-
led a mutual aid emigration society
having for its object tho establish-
ment of a colony at some suitable
-place within tho boundry of tho Uni-
ted States, to be settled exclusively
by colored people, thoro to solve the
problem whether the negro is capa-
ble of governing himself.
President Cleveland’s determina-
tion that there shall bo no further ex-
tension of the “rules” framed by the
• offensive partisans of tho civil-Borvico
- commission leaves nothing for the in
•dependent Republicans to found a
hope on that there will bo an issue
between him and his party. In repor-
ting this decision in a gingerly fash-
ion, they say it is “for tho present,”
but it is safo to say that a Democratic
Administration will not be forced by
Republican pressure into advocacy of
•the life-tenure idea.
As tho chance involved in man-iage,
the more we reduce it to a minimum
bycaroand judgement and good
sense the better. There is no surer
preparation for misery, one would
•think, than to Accustom a young girl
to think of evory offer of marriago as a
'‘chance” to be eagerly seized as a fish
■•walldws tho bait, without knowing
who or what is at the other end of the
Ashing line. So long as it is the cus-
tom of society for men to ask tho mo-
mentous quostion and for women on-
Jy to answer it—«nd this custom will
jrrdbably last, in spite of certain phi-
rosophors, forever—so long will bo a
little more element in the marriage
•iations of women than men.

Night does not last long enough to

Everybody getting sick. Doctors
busy. Our local physicians have all
they can do. .Sometimes we see Dr.
Davis, of Canton.
I wrote you in my lust, that Mr.
John Geadco bad a very sick child,
since then, the little one lias died.
Mr. Eck Geadco lias lost one also,
Mr. N. Clements an infant.
Thoro has been a protracted mee-
ting at Prairie Springs. Hut so much
sickness around, we could not attend.
Wo learn that they hail quite a pleas-
ant time, but do not know the nunt-
bei of conversions or accessions to the
church.
Had a lecture from J. L. Ray, a
Wood county farmer, on Friday, last,
ut tho Chappell, on the progress and
educational purposes of the grange,
and our co operation. So much |sick-
ness that the audience was rather
smaller than was expected, hut
though small, all men attended, and
uninterested listeners. The lecture
was replete with good sound sense—
and all want Mr. Ray to return some
time when the health of tho country
is better—we will fill the “arbor” for
him.
Some of the folks in this part, say
they want,to soil out and go to the
frontier. Well wev’e got no frontier,
it’s a thing of the past.
Prospects arc good, both for corn
and cot ton. Corn is about made, and
most of the cotton fields look mag-
nitloiont. Somuoftho farmers, from
sickness have not kept up with their
work, and the grass has got the best
of them—no fault of this however, for
I never knew farmers to work harder.
No other local news of interest;
some selling and buying of lauds a-
round. Four or live plantations
changed hands this and last week.
Did President Cleveland go fishing
on Sunday'!
If he caught nnythiug, did he tell
the truth about it?
If he did not go fishing on Fundiiy
will the fellow that lied about it, get
a postoffice ?
What effect will the fishing on Sun-
day have on crops?
How many bottles of “tho snake
bite” did he have, or did he do like
some of the Cantonltes—carry it in a
jug?
WALTON.
Good hard workers are what is’need-
ed to develop this country, and not
only this country but any other coun-
try. Men who arc disposed to look
upon life as only worth living when
they can beat tho world out of a liv-
ing just as easily as possible, are not
desirable citizens in any community.
The man who is not afraid nor asham-
ed to put his hand to the plow, and
when he gets it there keep it in place
without stopping to look back, is the
kind of a citizen that builds up and
imdroves a country. When a man
sits down complacently and ntakes no
effort to push for a place in tho world
ho invariably gets left, and sees the
energetic and progressive man reach
the goal. As it is with a man, so itjis
with a town or city, and when the cit-
izens sit comparatively still and make
no effort to assist in developing tho
country, they see their more energetic
neighbors taking the lead.
Tho cotton harvest begins in real
earnest this month, and usually the
season of early picking is propitious
for tho labor to bo performed. The
early cotton usually sells best; it is a
creamy white color, is generally free
from dirt and trash, and presents a
goodstnplc. It is said to make the
most lasting fabrics, and is preferred
by first class manufacturers. Outside
of tho merits of early picked cotton as
a marketable product, there arc pother
things which should lead tho cotton
producer to bend all energies early in
the season to saving all the staples
possible. Rains will begin to fall lat-
ter in the sason, and they may bo fro
quent. They make the staplo moro
difficult to pick, damage its quality,
stain it, and cause trash to adhero to
lit, which is never wholly removed, ev-
en with the best gleaning appliances
and gins. The proper plan, then, is
not to wait until the fields arc literal-
ly whito with tho fleecy staple, but to
obtAin all tho help needed, and usa it
to tho best advantage at once. The
price of picking is not so high early in
tho season as late, and every interest
directs that the staplo shall behousod
carfV. A wet fall destroys and dnmn-
gcl a vast Amount of cotton.
James Lanthrop, of Tyler county
an old man whose locks have begun
to assume a lmary look appeared at
the bar of justice fiuturday evening,
charged with incest, liis daughter,
a lovely young lady of 17 years, was
tho accuser. 8ho was leliovcd of a
child in January last alleged to have
been the result of unnulural urutali-
ty on the part of her father. She has re-
mained quiet to this time, claiming
that her life had been threatened by
her father if she ever divulged their
illicit intercourse. The matter was
brought to light by a physician, who
has been attending her for injuries re-
sultant from the unnatural inter-
course. I.uthrop was hound in the
sum of $5,(XX) to Answer at the next
term of court. In the meantime he
will languish in jail.
Special to the Telephone,
Hoping you will give us space in
your valuable paper.
Everything lovely in and around
bore.
Quite a sensation was created in
our usual quiet little village a few
days ago, by tho stabbing of Chill-
cote Davis by one Elmo Westlake, a
youth not yet quite in his toons—but
the excitement has about blownjovor,
and he (Davis) is rapidly improving.
I notice in your last issue a com-
munication from Scribler, in which
ho takes great pains to tell of Mr.
Burns’Norman colt, and speaks of
his neighbors geese tresspassing upon
his rights, and also of tho coal fields.
In all these he is very much interes-
ted it would seem. Now w hy lie
should write up these things, I am at
a loss to know. As for tho Norman
colt, lie is excurod, for tho mother of
said colt belong to Scribler, and he
takes great pride in letting it be
known.
But his crop is gone, no outs are
left,
To cheer tho goose noontide rest;
The Norman colt in deep dispair,
Derived himself from Brooks’ mare.
The coal mine wanders seasons
oa’r,
And sinks to rest, to rise no moro;
Alas I alas I what human skill has
wrought
Such misory—without arid.
