Caldwell, Texas. Friday, April 15.
PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY.
A Nava so ta job printer was in
town this week aolictiting work.
We are not informed as to how
many orders he received. Of
course, we suppose he got some,
tut we are very glad to state that
ke found one or two merchants
who* realized the fact that while
here he did not do twelve
month's trading with them and
pay them legitimate profits on
their goods—consequently said
«ait we trade with those who
trade with us.
This result, however, is the
exception rather than the rule.
Usually, when a merchant is as-
sured that a man from some other
town will do his printing five or
ten per cent, cheaper than hec an
get it done at home, he places an
order at once—and never fails to
kick like thunder if the home
■ewspaper man retaliates by
buying where he also can buy
cheapest.
We say we are glad to know
that Caldwell is the home of some
«home industry exceptions to
this rule.
Hon. Tom S. Smith, of Hittu-
boro, prominent candidate before
the convention for the office of
attorney-general, was shaking
hands with newly made friends
in our county this week.
Plant a little patch of turnips
and feed them to your hogs and
cows. More money in them for
feeding hogs or cattle than in
cotton.
Raisk more chickens and less
cotton. If you can't raise less
cotton, raise more chickens any
way. You can eat them and they
taste a whole lot better than
«salt mule. They will almost
keep themselves the year round
on a farm and only get what the
rats eat now. Try them.
Raisk sweet potatoes to sell for
only 25 cents a bushel. That
will net you from $60 to $70 per
acre. Then if you can get 50
cents per bushel, you are just
that much better off. It is not
too late.
Tom Holland will pay your railroad
fare one way if you come to Brenham
to have your photographic work done.

PLANT SWEET POTATOES.
We wish to say to our readers
who are interested in something
besides cotton, that we shall
shortly engage in the produce
business and expect to ship all
the potatoes*, onions and other
produce you can bring us in the
foil, so do not put your land in
cotton, or at least put a few acres
in something else so that you can
give it a trial.
We are not in a position at
present to give any information
regarding prices, etc. as we have
not obtained necessary figures,
rates etc., but feel no hesitation
in saying that if you raise any
•tapie crop, we will guarantee
you better results than can poss-
ibly be obtained from cotton.
We are in correspondence with
various commission houses and
merchants over the country and
when we go into the business we
shall go in with the purpose of
being successful.
Would you like to see Burle-
son county as prosperous as the
coast country? If so, plant
sweet potatoes or some crop we
can use to advantage and give us
a chance to show what could be
done. We will ad vise later what
to plant, but just now is the time
to get your sweet potatoes in,
and we urge upon you each and
everyone to plant an acre or two
at least if no more. You cannot
possibly lose on them as you can
feed them to your hogs and cattle
and come out ahead of a cotton
crop.
Lend a band in freeing our
people from cotton slavery, and
you will ever find us really ex-
erting ourael ves for your welfare.
Yours for future prosperity.

Hmm/mt Fnrmmr'g Union.
Will the farmers of Burleson
county be the last in the state to
get in the procession of progress
and prosperity. The following
from the Texas Farm & Ranch
indicates the state of affairs all
over the country:
Mii.pokd, P. (>.. Elli Co., Tex.
Editor Tesas Farm and Ranch:
Still crop diversification it the cry
and still are we putting it in the
ground. More corn, oat* wheat, cane,
(molasses.) Egyptian corn (winter
feed for fowl*,) broom corn, gardens,
sweet potatoes, pumpkin*. kcr*haws,
field peas, etc.. arc being planted
and are going to be planted than has
been known for year . Our young
orchards arc looking fine; in fa£t
houses, fenccs, nooks and corners art-
being cleaned and repaired.
No longer is this a community of
atrife between land owner and tenant.
We have atruck the keynote to a cash
ba- i*. and economy at home i* the
pitch. We are not into this for one
year only, but until we can buy us a
home. If any farmer, be he land
bolder or renter, wishes our plan more
thoroughly explained just drop the
aecretary of the union a few line , or
write our land holders.

FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Washington, D. C„ April 12.-
Congress has weighter business
on hand than to find fault with
the reasons which McKinley
says caused him to ask for arm-
ed intervention in Cuba, and is
willing to provide for the inter-
vention and let it go at that,
knowing that every man who
fires a gun in the war with Spain
will feel the sentiment expressed
by Col. John A. Joyce in the fol-
lowing verse from a poem dedi-
cated to Capt. Higsbee:
Remember the Maine in the midst
of the battle.
Strike down to the death where black
cannons rattle
On ocean or mountain, on valley or
plain —
Remember forever, remember the
Maine.
To tell the truth, congress is
so much relieved by the action of
McKinley in sending in that
much postponed message in
favor of armed intervention that
it is willing to forgive him more
serious sins, both of omission
and commission, than saying
that we are not making a war of
vengeance on the Spaniards.
They feared that instead of get
ting the message they would get
another excuse for another post-
ponement on account of the trick
armistice that Spain has pro-
claimed in Cubr. To show fur-
ther that they have no desire to
quibble because the message did
not contain everything they
would have liked it to contain,
I
congress is going to make that
intervention resolution exactly
what McKinley asked for—no
more, no leas. *A solid front will
be presented to the Spanish, and
all differences will be left to be
settled after the Spaniards are
disposed of.
While not possible at this time
to specify the exact time that our
big fleet of warships at Key West
will start to Cuba, they will cer-
tainly get off this week, unless
there shall be some delay on the
part of McKinley in carrying out
the authority that will be con-
ferred upon him by congress, or
the Spanish shall announee their
recognition of Cuban independ-
ence and intention to evacuate
the island. Naval officers regard
the taking of the seaports of Cu-
ba as an easy ta*k, and are impa-
tiently awaiting orders to pro-
ceed.
The so-called army reorgani-
zation bill, which provided for
increasing the regular army,
whenever in the opinion of the
authorities there was an exi-
gency, to 104.00 men, is virtu-
ally dead, the house having voted
to send it back to the committee
on military affairs, which re-
ported it. It was an administra-
tion measure.
In response to a request for in-
formation on the subject by Rep-
resentative Cooper, of Texas,
Secretary Alver stated that the
work of "fortifying the coast of
Texas was being pushed rapidly
to a conclusion and that sufficient
heavy guns had been allotted to
Sabine Pass to protect that port
from any attack the Spanish
could make upon it.
The democrats in congress
are ready to vote the government
all the money that will be needed
to thoroughly thrash Spain, even
to the extent of an issue of
000,000 to $500,000,000 in coin
bonds, but they have made it
lain to the schemers who have
een sounding congress on the
subject that even if every gun
owned by Spain were trained
upon the capitol building, in easy
range, they would refuse to vote
for the issue of one single gold ¡
bond. Their position on this
question, in which they arc sup-
ported by all the populists and a
considerable number of republi-
cans, stopped all talk about the
issue of gold bonds, and the bill j
that will be reported from the
ways and means committee to
the house, as soon as the actual
fighting begins, will provide for
3 per cent coin bonds.
Judge B. F. Buck ner. of Ken-
tucky, who is well posted on
Kentucky politics, says: «Our
people are not satisfied with the (
republican regime, state or na-
tional, and Kentucky will get
back into the democratic column
at the earliest possible d«te to re-
main there permanently. The
legislature that will elect Senator
Lindsay's successor will in all
robability send Hon. J. C. S.
Uackburn back to the senate,
where he would be still, but for
one of those unaccountable politi-
cal accidents that gave Kentucky
its first republican senator.
Col. Jed Tlotchkiss, of Virginia,
who participated in more than
1(M) battles in the civil war says:
«We have ample justilicatioh "for
war and will wage it. but I do not
think the crash will be severe,
for the Spanish government too
well understands its inferiority.
It may make a semblance of fight
in order to appease the home
rabble, but with the absolute
certainty of being crushed, it
will speedily bow to the inevi-
table.
YKI.LOW PRAIRIE.

EniTOKS Nkw*-Chuowici.k.
The closing exercises of Miss
Carrie Thompson's school Fri-
day, was the occasion of a large
gathering of people from differ-
ent communities. The urogram
for the occasion was elaborate,
consisting of recitations, dia-
logues, songs, drills, etc., which
were all well rendered, demon-
strating that there had been
much painstaking as well as pa-
tience on the part of the teacher.
Mr. Wm. Boyd, one of the^ trus-
tees addressed the school in the
morning, and Professors Barker
and Watts in the evening.
At noon a sumptuous dinner
was spread, no doubt to the de-
light of all, and ample justice was
done to this part of the program.
Several candidates
enquiring after the health, pros-
perity, etc., of the good people of
this precinct. We hope they
will not forget to be present st
the next gathering of the people
here which will be later on.
Miss Florence and Eva Fraim,
of Milano, visited their cousin,
Miss Carrie Thompson last week
and attended the picnic and sev-
eral socials.
Len Clint* n, of Mumford, was
here last week to see his best
girl. After taking in the picnic
and parties, he returned home
Sunday.
Mrs. fíreen Hensley, of Bell-
ville, visited her sisters Mrs.
Kate Black and Mrs. James
Henslev last week.
Mr. Pool and family of Milano,
visited Mr. Bob Thompson and
family Sundav.
Mr. Will Womble, Jr., of Cald-
well, took a group-picture of the
school here Friday.
Miss Mamie Carroll of Cald-
well after spending several davs
with Mr. Bob Thompson's family
returned home Sundav accom-
panied by her father Mr. Coly
Carroll.
H. C. Willis, wife, babe and
dog attended the picnic Friday
all seemed delighted with the en-
tertainment, we hope to see them
all on the next picnic occasion.
The military bovs drilled at
James Sewell s Monday night
and expect orders to move to the
front any day or hour.
Monday night we had the mam-
moth rain probably of the season
and it is still raining at this writ-
ing. Y.

You can bus hard-

thing" and only your
¡MH*ketlxH k suffers. To
l>c sure that is had
enough, but when you
buy drugs your life must
pay the forfeit for an-
other man's mistake or
for his false economy in
buying cheap drugs.
Some people mix a
prescription with sub-
stitutes when the in-
gredients indicated are
expensive.
Those who come to
me for drugs may relv
on the efficiency and
carefulness of a com-
petent pharmacist to
properly mix their pre-
scriptions, and can al-
ways depend on getting
pure fresh drugs and no
substitutes.
All water used in
mixing prescriptions in
our prescription depart-
ment, is distilled.
