the above, and sincerely hopes to
see these socalled ‘roping contests”
numbered with the things tha-
were. We have always contended
that they were of the most cruel
order and frequently expressed the
hope that there would soon come a
time when these unnecessary prac-
tices would be abated. Many of
the newspapers of the state are ad-
vocating the cessation of roping
contests and the advocaters of such

of reputable home dealers. There
are lots of fake ‘ads’’ from a dis-
tance but the home dealers have
to do business on the square to
hold the trade. Pationize home
merchants and avoid the many
snares of ordering by mail and
freight.—Flatonia Record.’
There is a great deal about this
in Tub Journal’s exchanges, in
fact, the firm is receiving more
adversing than heretofore. How-
ever the Record need not crow so
lustily. The term “gratis” is
rather uncalled for, even in the
lace of the undeniable fact that we
were “soaked.” Taking the great
and good Houston Post’s word for
it many of the best weeklies in
Texas (we presume the Record
did not carry the ad) inserted the
“ad” and forwarded a request for
remittance at once, but the request
wasn't complied with, hence the
“pd” never appeared again
Thr Journal, as well as many
of Its friendly exchanges do not de-
plore the loss of the few dollars,
but sincerely hope that our farmer
friends succeeded in stopping the
payment of their checks, etc., thus
saving to them their hard-earned
money. It is tip to the Houston
Post now to pacify the country
press and those unsuspecting pur-
chases of cotton seed front the fa-
mous “English-American Cotton
company.”
WE’RE WITH YOU.
CAN’T DO IT.
Burgess may have opposition in
his race after all. It is bruitnd
around that the republicans of this
district will put forth a candidate,
not with the expectations of elect-
ing him, but with a View of
strengthing the national ticket and
assisting party organization. Their
victim lias not been selected; Burow
of Yorktown has had an ample suffi-
ciency and York of Jackson wants
to Return to the legislature, which
he stands a chance of doing. A
Gonzales republican may “be nomi-
nated to weaken Burgess’ strength
at home.—Hallettsville Herald.
A review of the last election
shows that Burgess had a regular
“walk-over.” Perhaps the Her-
ald is right that a republican
from Gonzales county will take a
hand at the bellows, but it is pre-
tuediated suicide. Burgess carried
Fayette county by 1800 majority
alone, and with the present amount
of disfranchisements would perhaps
add a few more hundred to his
column. Considering this and the
fact that the republicans as well as
the democrats concede his worth,
it is, as we said before, a ridicu-
lous step for the republicans to
make.
Editor B. B. Hill has sold his
paper, the Bellville Times to A. E.
Holland of Bellville, who will con-
tinue the publication of the paper.
The Times, which is one of the best
weekly papers in the state, was es-
tablished in 1879 by W. C. Hill,
and was owned and published by
him until his death in 1890. B. B.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is * specific tor nervous
disorders. It removes the cause and effects
a speedy and permanent cure.
“I feci it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little frirl of
nine, of spa-ms. She commenced having them
at the age of three. Our family doctor said
she would outgrow them but the did not.
We took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in a mild form.
He did her no good either. She was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As 1 had
already used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and found
it a good remedy for myself 1 commenced
giving it to my child. I gave her in all ten
bottles of the Nervine and one of the Blood
Purifier. .That was over two years ago and
she has not had an attack since we com-
menced the treatment. She is *no longer
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured. I enclose her pic-
ture. My mother-in-law lost her reason and
was insane for three months from the effects
of LaGrippe. Six bottles of Dr. Miles’ Ner-
vine cured her. My sister has also taken it
for sick headache with good results. We all
thank you very much for your good medi-
cines and kind advice. 1 don’t mink there
is any other medicine half so good. I send
my daughter’s photograph so that you may
see what a sweet little girl lives out in

Statu Topics, published at Aus-
tin by Jeff McLemore, is numbered
with our exchanges. It is fearless
in its utterances and exposes many
frauds perpetrated by state officials.
It unrelentlessly attacks the record
of Governor Lanhatp and discloses
some facts that will most assuredly
need explanation by that official.
State Topics may be mistaken, but
if so, it ts quite surprising that
nothing is heard from the other
end of the line.
The editor of the Sticker is be-
wailing the fact that some one', un-
worthy the name of man, appro-
priated his overcoat at the leap
year ball recently given in that
city. We sympathize with the
young editor in his loss, but really
what business has a country editor
enjoying such extravagance?
