Gov. Ireland's losses in the west will be
more than offset by his gains in north and
east Texas. Those censorious democrats
who scratched the governor will be aston-

will get in the next State convention—Dal-

Special Rates on Carpets.

write to A. H. Bailey, of Palestine, giving
him an idea of what you want, with the
dimensions of the rooms. He makes a

ready-made, to lit any sized room. 38 tf
CLOTHING,
A cursory review of the advances made 1
in farming in the past twenty-five years,
will show a gratifying result in regard to
the increased production of farm products. '
When, however, a balance sheet is struck
it is very questionable whether the far-
mers are reaping profits at all commensu-
rate with the outlay of labor and money
expended in bringing about this increase.
It is true, by improved farm machinery
less manual labor is required to cultivate
and grow a crop of hay, wheat or corn,
yet when the additional competition in
market is considered, the outlay in cost
for machinery, the low prices which farm
products bring, we doubt whether the
farmer is benefited as much as he could
be, were he to give more time to consider-
ing the crops to grow, in order to secure
a market at better paying prices. If he
can raise wheat, at a cost of 70 cents per
bushel and only receive 75 cents, or if he
can grow corn at a cost of 25 cents per
bushel and receive through conversion in-
to beef or pork 50 cents; then it would
pay him best to grow corn. The Orchard,
Apiary and Dairy are all money gatherers
on the farm, when properly attended to,
so is the raising of poultry and vegetables.
The advance in one direction greatly
needed now, is that of extended reading
and study of the great questions of sup-
ply and demand, so as to regulate the
productions of the farm, to the securing
of the best prices for it. In the considera-
tion of this, the farmer has not only to
calculate the expense of producing bis
■crop, but also the cost to market, trans-
portation lines and commission men get
more than a fair share of the producer’s
profits. When they are paid and the in-
cidental expenses of the farm are met,
there is generally but a small sum left the
farmer. This will be Ute case, until the
farmers, as a class, read more, and take a
more prominent place in Hie legislative
halls of the State and Nation. There is
and has been, too little practical action
taken by the producing classes to lift from
their shoulders the unjust and unequal
•distribution of burdens placed upon them
in the past by other classes, trades and
professions. While the manufaeturers
have made rapid strides in inventing means
and appliances to lessen manual labor,
while transportation lines hav« reduced
the time and increased the facilities for
reaching markets, yet they both claim
and so manage, that when a division of re-
ceipts in crops above legitimate cost of
production is divided they obtain tlie li-
on’s share and the farmer is left in the
. United effort on the part of the
producers, aided by Agricultural Journals,
can change this unjust order of things.
Reading, thought and study, will gener-
ate action, and the profits growing from
the advances made in farming, we pre-
dict in future will be made to enure more
and more to the benefit of farmers.

Are any members of your family thus
afflicted ? Have thev scrofulous swellings
of the glands ? Have they any scrofulous
sores or ulcers? If so, and it should be
neglected, the peculiar taint, or poison,
may deposit itself in the substance of the
lungs, producing consumption. Look
well to the condition of your family, and
if thus afflicted, give the proper remedy
without delay. Buy that which makes
absolute cures in the shortest space ot
time. The unerring finger of public opin-
ion points to B. B. B. as the most wonder-
ful remedy for Scrofula ever known. Y on

death, captured the house, outraged and
murdered Mrs. Petty and carried off their
three children, two girls and a boy, aged
respectively 13, 11 and 8 years. There
was no one else on the ranch. They burn-
ed the dwelling, tore down the corrals
and drove off some twenty head of cattle
and four horses. Gen. Stanley immedi-
ately ordered Lieut Eggleson and a scout-
ing party from Pena Colorado to start in
pursuit. They were joined by a volun-
teer force of thirteen citizens and were on
the trail in two hours from the time of re-
ceiving the news. A party was also dis-
patched from Fort Davis, traveling at
nearly right angles in an endeavor to in-
tercept the retreat of the Indians into Mex-
ico. The distance from Chicos to Pera is
thirty odd miles, and the news was
brought by runner this morning. The In-
dians, who have been seen by several shep-
herds, are described as well mounted,
about thirty in number, and are supposed
to be a part of Crook’s antagonists who
had become separated from their tribe.
They came from Mexico. This is the
first raid reported in some years.

Editor Intelligencer:—According to
promise 1 shall drop a few dots to the In-
teli.igenceri The Stun Houston Nor-
mal is in full bloom by this time. The
students seem, for the most part, to be in
earnest* It is my opinion that the State
is carrying on a grand educational work
through this Institute. We visited the
neglected grave, of General Sain Houston
on last Sabbath. It is simply a disgrace
that his grave should be so neglected by
^the State.
Huntsville simply went wild with joy
last Friday night, over the news of Cleve-
land's election. On every side large bon-
fires blazed forth the glad tidings of vic-
tory. Anvils on either corner belched
forth tiie glad retrain, while the voices of
the people were almost deafening. Some
$200 <»r $300 was spent for fireworks. At
the opera house a large crowd of people
gathered to listen to the speaking. Capt.
Goree opened and introduced N. J. Kit-
trell, Col. Me Kinney, di-trict attorney,
Earle Adams, Rev. J. D. Ray, Prof. I. R.
Dean, Judge A. C. Woodall and II. C.
Still. Each gave stirring democratic
speeches after which the meeting closed
by singing, ‘"Praise God from whom all
blessings flow.” I never saw half so much
enthusiasm manifested on any occasion
as we had that night. After this the
boys proceeded to ‘‘paint the town red.”
Walker county succeeded in securing a
full set of democratic officers, notwith-
standing the number of negroes. Suc-
cess to the Intelligencer.
