MANSFIELD SCRAPS AND FACTS.
The farmers are suffering with the
blues in this vicinity on account of so
much rain which fell last week, and it is
raining o-day.
Mj. Hamp Smithee is dangerously ill
with typhoid fever ; has been sick several
weeks.
The Sunday school at Wyatts’ Chapel,
having suspended for two months will re -
organize on the 1st of October. The
fourth quarterly conference will be held
at the Chapel on the fifth Sunday in Octo-
ber.
Mr. John Heard is busy building a
new house tor himself.
We heard the whistle of Mr. Mclin’s
new gin on last Saturday, we can hear
the whistle of seven cotton gius.
Capt. Harding put up some kind ot a
fabric across a ravine near the Chapel.
Some folks said it was the trestle work
for the Dallas and Cleburne Railroad
bridge, but he added some kind ot a
house there, and they say he really has
got a gin there. While hauling some
horse power “concerning the press” over
there it fell on his foot. On looking
down he saw his shoe full of blood. He
began to halloa murder, thief and every-
thing else, still no one came to his assist-
ance. He made a life and death effort,
which succeeded in moving the weight
off his foot. Although he had to go hop-
ping around on his heel, he kept on at
work. But lie has had lots of bad luck of
things breaking about his gin. I do be-
lieve if he had subscribed for the Demo-
crat when 1 advised him to lie Wouldn’t
have had all this ill luck.
The other day I was ready to write up
quite a sensational marriage of a young
girl to an old gentleman, when to the as
tobishment ot all, a young man by the
name of Terry made his appearance from
somewhere, and asked the girl (Miss
Ange Collins) to marry him, and she
thought she would rather be a young
man’s slave than an old man’s darling;
just married him and left immediately for
Arlington, where they had some photo-
graphs taken. The artist must have exe-
cuted his work so well tlut Terry prefer-
red the pictures to the original, for he
took the lady as far as Terrell, then he
just skipped out and left her, and she
could do nothing but come back on the
freight train. I would say to my old
friend, be of good cheer, “there are as
good fish in the sea as ever were caught.
There are plenty more girls. If they
don’t wish to be an old man’s darling,
there are some nice widows about.
I guess everybody just gulped that dish
ol matrimonial hash that Slade prepared
fur them, and long since have got the
taste out of their mouths, except myself.
I wouldn’t deign to touch such a dish, as
it were, and I should have said so long
ago. but my eyes were sore and I could
not see ; however, it did some good, for
it caused a great big smile to overspread
the faces of many of those crusty, grumb-
ling old married men, who hadn’t been
known to laugh in the last six or twelve
months, and they would sit and point at
their poor faithful wives, “who hath fol-
lowed them through many long years of
hardships and trials,” and say: “Jest
like you. Slade jest hit you 'egzactly.’
Hurrah for Slade,” and bless-goodness,
when they wanted to quit laughing, the
muscles ot the face not being relaxed in
so long a time, utterly refused to con-
tract, andyheir smiles were converted in-
to horrible grins, and now they look as
though they had spent their lives over a
log heap of lire, trying trying to pick out
irons that they couldn’t quite reach ; and
their poor wives are busy all day long
making poultices and bouesett tea for
their disfigured lords. Some say it will
not be the nearest for Slade to come by
Oak Grove to Mansfield now. I suppose
when he started out in search of the hap-
piness .which is found In the sea of matri-
mony, he thought a man need not always

TIIE SOURCE OF STRENGTH.
Physical force is one of the greatest of
human possessions, but unfortunately it
lasts only a short time. Accident, disease
or old age comes along and the forces
which were once so powerful quickly pass
away. Anything that can restore these
powers or preserve them is therefore more
the proprietors, but they have sent these
letters as the expressions of their grati-

be questioned:

Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
does. It takes the body when it is broken
and bowed by sickness and restores it to
all the powers it once possessed. It casts
disease and all other opposing evils over
the precipice into oblivion. It has no
friends that are enemies of health and no
enemies that are the friends of health.
The vast importance ot the lower portion
ot the body in producing good health is
becoming better known every day. Both
men and women of all classes realize this.
For women previous to child-birth, for all
the diseases peculiar to their sex, for de-
bilitated men and puny children there is
nothing which so safely and surely sus-
tains and restores as this Great Natural
Remedy. The kidneys and urinarv or-
gans, when deranged, undermine the life
much quicker than consumption, and they
must be attended to promptly or fatal con-
sequences are sure to follow. The testi-
monials which are printed herewith clear-
ly show that Warner’s Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure will not only check those dis-
eases but entirely cure them even after
they have become seated. 11 is the only
known remedy which will safely and cer-
tainly do this, and there is not an instance
on record where it has tailed. It is for
sale by all druggists in all pints of the
world and is manufactured by
