SENTIMENTS OF THE SAND.
We wandered away from the crowd,
The blare of the noisy band,
By the loving lips of the ocean,
Over the Golden sand.
Talking ridiculous nonsense,
Inspecting preposterous shells,
Flotsam and jetsam, various,
With singular maritime smells,
A bottle, a barrel, some seaweed,
Some muscular bivalve agape,
The remains of their edible persons
Shriveled and dried out of shape;
Past children interring each other
In jocular tomblets of sand,
Digging, and delving and laughing,
A merry, sepulchral band.
“Might I smoke?” “As a matter of
course,”
She liked the smell of the weed ;
A light from a son of the soil,
And back with tempetuous speed.
She was poised in a pensive pose
As L noiselessly neared her stand,
And I saw that she wrote with her
parasol
Lines on the Golden sand.
My heart it patted my ribs ;
She writing, no doubt, on the sly,
The name that pleases her best—
“My own, I’ll be bound,” thought I.
Over her shoulder 1 peeped—
Over her ruffling collars.
On the sand she’d scrawled:
$100,000.
ASH CQEElt NEWS.
Items from this neck of the woods are
skace.
Dry weather and short crops are the gen-
eral order ot the day.
Corn crops are very light, making on an
average about eight bushels per acre, and
this of an inferior quality.
Tho health of this section is extra good.
Ii is seldom that any one dies on Ash
Creek. Lots of big fat men and healthy
women and children.
A big meeting closed the other day on
Walnut creek. Thirty-five converts were
underwhelmed in the waters of West
Fork, near Dido. These converts were
made In Parker county but had to go to
Tarrant to find much water. Among the
converts was one deaf and dumb young
man who embraced the faith without,hear-
ing the Word.
Cotton picking has commenced in earn-
est. About one fourth of a bale to the
acre may be put down as an average.
Some few farmers will realize more than
this. A few bales have been ginned and
sent to the Fort Worth market. If the
weather continues dry all the cotton crop
will open in the present month, and will
be thrown on the market much earlier
than heretofore.
Fort Worth may set her pegs for about
half the number of bales this year, com-
pared with the number shipped last year,
or, near twenty-five thousand hales. Make
your estimate according to the informa-
tion you have and we will soon see who
is correct. Last year it was estimated by
tiie Fort Worth cotton buyers that seven-
ty-live thousand bales would be shipped
trom that point. The number as estimat-
ed fell short nearly twenty thousand, and
il you say fifty thousand this year just
deduct one-hall and you will hit the nail
on the head.
Your correspondent from Veals Station
which is located at the head of this creek,
has given you all tho items from that
neighborhood except one thing, and that
is that he is a bachelor of the cross-eyed
species, and il is said that lie is giving his
attention to a young widdw. If he should
succeed we, or I, will let you know who
is who and what is what. 1 never write
write poetry but here is some that may lit
bis case. It reads thusly:
Ob! I long to be a married man,
And own a pretty wife ;
Oil! I’ll get one if I can.
Then live a happy life.
Oh. where can she be found?
Do tell me if you know ;
I’d dig her from under ground,
Then joyfully 1 would go.
Does she live in Parker county ?
Ob ! who this news can tell ?
Pd give a fifty dollar bounty,
Ami the rest 1 will not tell.
The election on the amendment didn’t
go worth a cent. The people up here
would like to have some one to offer up a
prayer that their indifference may be cast
out. Agabuz.
Distinguished Arrivals.
During die summer months the person
ot an individual, well known in all circles
of our society, has been absent from our
city. His time has been spoilt exclusive-
ly at the watering places on the sea-board
where his ablutions and libations have
been numerous—nay we can say contin
nous. He returns fresh and fat, and his
lovers, whose names are legion, will be
glad to know tiiat he is here. He is re-
ticent, very ; scarcely ever opens his
mouth. You invariably open yours in
His presence. His name is F. Oyster—
Fresh Oyster. Ilis headquarters are at
Bruce Robinson’s, rear of the post office.
Call and see him.

Not to exceed one-half ot the immense
stock at Goldstein’s store has been sold
yet. Just think ot it for a moment and
one can form an adequate idea of the
amount of goods that they must have
started in to slaughter. For six weeks
there has been one continual, uninterrupt-
ed rush of people into this place, and
thousands ot goods haye been sold. Their
sales have exceeded by far any three
stores in the city, and yet they have an
immense line of gents’ furnishing goods,
hats, caps, boots and shoes to offer at
from 30 to 50 per cent below cost. Re-
member this and do not tail to drop in
and examine the offers now to be found
there. Go to-day and don’t delay.
Pre-eminent
As an elegant hair dressing, stands
Parker’s hair balsam, deservedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and its
cleansing and healing properties. Com-
mencing at the roots, it promotes a lux-
uriant growth of young hair, and unfail-
ingly restores gray or faded hair to its
original youthful color, giving a soft, rich
and lustrous appearance of great beauty.
It is pleasantly cooling to the scalp,
cleanses it from dandruff, cures itching
humors, and stops falling of the hair. It
is perfectly harmless, exquisitely per-
fumed, never soils the skin or gums the
hair, and pleases everybody by its many
excellent and attractive qualities- A
patron assures us that he has used 12 dif-
ferent hair preparations and that Parker’s
hair balsam surpasses them all. Sold in
large bottles at only 50 cts. and $1 by all
first-class druggists. 9-l-eod‘d&w.

THROUGH TICKETS TO LEADVILLE
at the very lowest possible rates.
It is conceded by all old miners who have visa
ted Leadville and vicinity that such rich dis-
coveries have never before been made, and that
this mining camp, in numbers of peoplo and
development, surpasses any ever before opened,
and tire ricii discoveries extend over a radius ot
many miles about Leadville and FalrplSy. A
trip io Leadville will repay any person, whether
interested in mining or not, as it is a siglij
worth the expense of the trip to witness.
Thousands will go there in a short period, and
the sooner you go, the bettor.
Persons living in Texas contemplating visiting
