WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 9 ’95
Increased rail facilities and
shorter time schedules appear to
be the order among all the south-
ern lines. This is but the begin-
ning of improved service every way
considered and it is one most glad-
ly noted. The attempt to draw
pleasure travel southward is great-
ly handicapped by the slow time
and inferior equipment of trains
as compared with the time and
equipments of northern lines. No
one traveling from the gulf coast
northward and thence eastward
and westward fails to note the
marked improvement in the char-
aider of the coaches and in the
schedules once St. Louis is reached.
People of wealth accustomed to
the better accomodations faster
time and more reasonable sleeper
charges of the roads north of St.
Louis do not willingly repeat their
experiences south of that point
and thus Southern travel is to a
great extent impeded. It is a mat-
ter of real gratulation that in the
later schedules and train equip-
ments fortravel to and from Texas
this defect is being remedied. It
cannot but operate favorably upon
the through travel of this great
southwest.
The advice to husband Jeotton
and get ten cents for it may not
be as sound as it sounds. The pro-
duct of this year supplemented by
the overplus of last year leaves
little room for solid calculation on
much above eight cents. The man
who sells now at eight is booked
to pocket more cash than the one
who holds for six months in the
hope of getting ten. The era is
one of low prices and not of high
and this fact must be considered
in calculating the chances of future
quotations.
It is more disgusting than other-
wise to note the continued jaw be-
tween Corbott and Fitzsimmons at
long range. If the prospective
fight only ends in taking the jaw
out of both it will be not in vain
that the meeting in the ring has
taken place.
Marden of Kentucky continues
to crow. He may be a plucked
crow after the fight is over but it
is certain that he has no intention
of eating crow. He sticks to his
free silver declarations as though
he was wired to them and waxed
on.
The cotton receipts for the sea-
son are more than 160000 bales be-
hind the receipts of the first forty
days of last season. The next forty
days will give a better idea of what
the actual shortage is likely to be.
There is no indication at present of
any material advance in prices.
In two more weeks the Dallas
Fair will be running under a full
head of steam and the citizens of
that enterprising centre will be
reaping the rewards of their past
sacrifices and energy is keeping
the matter agoing until it is now
more than self supporting. Texas
Is large enough for two yearly
fairs one in the north and one in
the southwest. The location of
this latter is naturally in San An-
tonio but this is one of those
things that does not settle itself.
It requires faith money energy
business sense and direction and
public spirit above ail things else.
The Monroe doctrine appears to
have had the right of way among
the wearers of both the blue and
the gray in the recent gathering at
Chickamauga. Those boys favor a
vigorous “foreign policy.” Vigor-
ous not only on paper but in prep-
aration to resist and in actual re-
sistance of all encroachments'upon
the shores of this] continent by
foreign governments. It is good
American policy.
Having knocked the fist with a
glove in it out of time it is much
to be regretted that the moralists
and humanitarians at Austin did
not take a whack at the revolver
and the bowie-knife and outlaw
them. But perhaps it would be
asking too much to expect them to
go back upon the institutions of
the South in that manner!
The Eleventh district would like
to know before the eleventh hour
what Jim Wells is going«to do
about that congressional nomina-
tion. The Light has no private
advices from Mr. Wells but it is
long odds against his leaving his
business down in the Rio region
for anything congress can offer.
James Wells cannot afford to go to
congress and leave his personal
business at this time. The results
will justify this prediction when
they are in. Crain will have plain
sailing so far as Wells is con-
cerned.
Durrant seems to be nearing the
beginning of the end of his mas-
terly attempt to cheat justice of
her due. His plans were laid with
fiendish skill but the patience and
perseverance of the state have
opened up the trail until his track
Is too plainly perceived for farther
concealment. What may be the ver-
dict no one can say but of the
guilt of the accused there is now
no reasonable doubt. Like his
brother in Iniquity Holmes Dur-
rant does not appear to have been
born with the ordinary sensibili-
ties of his kind. The world loses
nothing when such men pass out
of it and 'the manner of their
passing does not very seriously
move the pulses of society. These
men are born apart live apart sin
apart and die apart from the sym-
pathies of their fellow humans.
All north and middle Texas have
derived wonderful advantage
from the State Fair at Dallas in
the improvement of live stock and
in the changes made in agricul-
tural work. What that fair has
done for North and Central Texas
the establishment of an annual
fair at San Antonio would cer-
tainly accomplish for South and
West Texas. There is not a single
valid argument that can be ad-
duced against such an enterprise
and the only reason why it was
not long since put upon its feet is
because the people of this city and
section have been too slow to
recognize the benefits that would
follow consequently have not
moved energetically for such or-
ganization.
Lilly Langtry does not seem to
have learned from experience to
avoid the shoals of the sea of mat-
rimony. The temptation to write
herself down as “Lady Peel”seems
too great to be resisted. It is high
time however that she was re-
leased from the burden of support-
ing a drone of a husband.
Texas merchants are paying
their debts faster than those of any
other state with ths exception of
those of Georgia and this excep-
tion is not positive. This shows
the situation in this state better
than a whole column of statistics
of growth development and in-
crease. When men are paying
their debts with increasing
promptness and reducing their
volume it proves that an era of
improvement has come and that
the tide has actually turned. Tex-
as has waited long for the turn
and is ready to do business on the
incoming flood for the next dec-
ade. Her prospects are flatter-
ing.
As the Republicans fall into line
here and there and express their
party convictions in platforms it
is observable that they are still in
the old path sound on questions of
currency and tariff. On these two
hang the prosperity of the country
no less than' the triumph of the
Republican party.
The English papers are laughing
down the excuses offered by the de-
feated British Athletics that it
was the climate that did the work.
Leading British journals are ready
to concede that the American
cousin is a little quicker on the
trigger and fuller of vinegar than
his English relative.
Considerable rain is falling all

fall’s rain depend the crops of
next year.

COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS
In Warm Weather Nothing So Dan
gerous as Decayed Foods.
Everyone knows or ought to know that
decayed foods are poisonousness. Boards
of health seek to prevent their sale.
We now have In mind the results which
follow the decay and decomposition of
foods after they have been eaten for un-
less dleestlou occurs within a reasonable
time after our meals decomposition sets
in.
If dyspeptics will stop and consider for
a moment some of the symptoms of their
trouble such as disagreeable breath
eructations of gas or bad taste in the
mouth they will understand that they al)
must come from decaying foods that
ought properly to have been absorbed
Into the system.
Spots before the eyes dizziness sleep-
lessness dyspeptic headaches are but a
few of the effects following the absorp-
tion into the blood poisons developed
from decomposing and undigested food
that lies in the stomach.
It was a recognition of this important
fact that caused the Mount Lebanon
Shakers to devote so much of their time
to the preparation of a remedy for dys-
pepsia and nothing is more efficient than
the Digestive Cordial which they have
recently placed on the market.
Its action is so prompt that relief fre-
quently follows tne very first dose. It
restores the appetite and increases the
weight. Plumpness and strength take
the place of weakness and that care-worn
expression which points out the dyspep-
tics in every community. The local drug-
gists are now giving away descriptive
pamphlets.
Try a twenty-five cent bottle of Diges-
tive Cordial and see what it will do for
you.
Seedless Peaches.
Herman Stuckenberg who has a
farm and orchard on the Sulphur
Springs road about nine miles from
the city brings to the Light office
a curiosty in fruit a seedless
peach being the second crop this
year gathered from the same tree.
The first crop were very large
with perfect stone kernels but the
second crop are about the size of a
large plum perfectly ripened with
but a small imperfect seed.
FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
has been used for children teeth-
ing. It soothes the child softens
the gums allays all pain cures
wind colic and is the best remedy
for diarrhoea. Twenty-five cents a
bottle. 9 27 lyr eod
Regarding Circulara.
Circulars sent to those who have
not asked for them are usually
wasted because they are not read.
If a man sends for a circular it is
because he wants to read it and
circulars sent in this way are good
mediums. The only way to get
names to which to send circulars
to people of this kind is to use
newspaper advertisng.—Milwau-
kee News.

Cod-liver oil suggests
consumption which is al-
most unfortunate.
Its best use is before you
fear consumption; when
you begin to get thin weak
run down ; then is the pru-
dent. time to begin to take
care and the best way to
take care is to supply the
system with needed fat and
strength. Scott’s Emulsion
of cod-liver oil with Eypo-
phosphites will bring back
plumpness to those who
have lost it and make
strength where raw cod-
liver oil would be a burden.
