Col. P. E. Kdmnndson, who so
long and a'oly edited the Platonin
Argus, has purchased the LaG range
Journal, and in an enlarged and im-
proved form. i< publishing the liest
paper ever issued at Lofl range.
Here's our 54ST, Colonel, with a
hearty welcome hack into the ranks
of journalism. May you and the
Journal live long and prosper.
The Mt. Vernon Herald yets off a
moral lecture and n sermon in one
brief paragraph when it says : "A
highway robber is indeed a very low
man in the scale of morals; the mid-
night nssassin and incendiary are
lower, but a lying, tattling, envious
snake is the lowest, most contempti-
ble specimen of human residuum
that ever cursed any community."
A man was caught in the act of
burglarizing n store at Mellville, in
Austiu county, and district court be-
ing in session, was indicted, fried and
sentenced to two yencs in the peni-
tentiary within ten hours after his
nrrest. This was a little quicker
work than Judge Lvt* Moore did
wiien lie tried ni«d sentenced tiie
Hastrop negro to the penitentiary
for stealing his ftoofs.
The following int Testing special
came from Abbeyville, O.: "A few
days ago a yery wealthy farmer
named Harris Damond. who was so
eccentric that he hid every cent of
his money ai soon as lie obtained it
was taken suddenly ill with nppo-
plexy. and liefore he could tell any
one where his money was hidden, he
expired. After a hurried search was
made ?14,fKKI was found concealed
under a lieehive. During another
search his son discovered iu a barn
vessel filled with gold coin, amount-
ing to £24.000. The family claim
that #50.000 is till unaccounted for."
He lived like an old hog, hut his

regard the gra*s as much the proper,

open lands, or lands not fenced,
should receive tiiut protection due

i" so large a tax-paying element of
the state ; fourth, that we regard the
protection of the school lands and
the obtaining of the greatest revenue
therefor as of vital importance to
the state and to our posterity, and
we respectfully request such legisla-
tion in that regard ns the legislature
may deem best, to the end that the
largest revenue may be secured to
the school fund ; fifth, that while
we do not favor the doctrine of free
range, we deem it injudicious to pass
a herd law at this time ; sixth, that
having full confidence iu the wisdom
of the legislature now ns.se in bled at
Austin, and believing that our rights
will he fully ami amply protected by
legislation at their hands, we are
satisfied to leave wi'h it all matter
and grievances that affect our inter-
ests.
Statesman : The election of Kx-
Govcrnor Sayers as president of the
stock convention, while lie was at j other word
home, was a merited compliment, j man does not
He, himself, has not suffered by the
cutting of fences His views, a. we
understand them, are eminently con-
servative. He believes that the
same action of the legislature, that
increases the penalty for lenee-cnt- j
ting, should protect the citi/.eps
lignmst the abuses which they om- I
plain of by stockmen. In other i
words, while big pastures are protec-
ted, and till other property, the hum-
bleat eitinsen must be protected iigamet
those who save their pastures for j
winter rang" and ent up, with big ;
herds, all the grass around the homs I
ot the small farmer and stockman.
First protect the people against cry-
ing nouses and then increase penal-
ties.
Free range means thnt cattle
should be hand! al as before and jus!
afler (lie war. and thai means noth-
ing less than that every man's c.itflc
shall be at the mercy of every one
who desires to mark and bl ind and
steal cattle that do not belong to
him. Under the "free range" sys-
tem the courts of the country were
crowded with indictments for steal-
ing and for illegal marking and
branding. In late* years there have
been comparatively few of such in-
dictments in this county. Shall we
return to the former condition of
things?
Those who advocate free range
think that they should he permitted
to use the school lands without
charge, and that the people of tiie
country should derive no revenue
from these lands. We want these
lands to support our public free
schools, thereby relieving the people
from taxation. What say you, farm-
ers ond mechanics of Hastrop county,
do you desire men to grow enor-
mously rich by using our school
lands, free of charge, and you to
continue to uay tax to support your
schools?
Why aro Ihere no cattle buyers
now amongst us as were last .(mili-
ary? Why are calves and yearlings
and older cattle worth so much less
now than twelve months ago? Why
are money matters so clire? Why
have the banks closed their vaults,
and why do the moneyed men ask
such high interest ? Twelve months
ago money could be readily borrowed
at eight per cent, now it can scarcely
be had at twelve nnd fifteen percent,
and then only upon "gilt edge col-
laterals "
Gov. Ireland and the stockmen,
who were in the convention, do not
think that where a man does not in-
close his land imv one should he pun-
ished when his cattle graze upon
such unenclosed land ot another. In
they think that if a
want his neighbors'
cattle to grazo upon his lai.d, hi
should enclose it.
ill favor of the passage of the bill,
and a minority reporting against its
passage. The hill was called up ill
the Senate Thursday morning, when
Senator Terrell made a master speech
ot two hours' and a half, favoring its
adoption, at the close of which it
was moved that the committee rise
and report to the Senate, and report
that tin* matter be further consider-
ed in committee Friday morning, af-
ter the regular call, and theconiniit-
tee rose and so reported.
Several petitions have been re-
ceived from counties, some favoring
and some opposing a herd law, hut
the majority oppose the passage of
such a law.
A bill has been presented iu the
house defining justifiable homicide,
an 1 adding the right to prevent the
wilful nnd malicious destruction of
property, or when homicide is in-
flicted upon a person fouti 1 armed
with deadly wripons and in disguise
in the night time on premises not
his own, whether the homicide he
committed! by the party injured
or by someone in his behalf.
A vote was taken in the Hoiv-ecn
Wednesday, which the News pro-
nounces " humiliating to Gov. Ire-
laud," while the Houston Post, and
other dailies, published in and out of
the capital, assert that it showed
" the legislature solid for Gov. ire-
land," ami " his administnation in-
dorsed by almost eyery member," and
(he Post furnishes the proof, oy pub-
lishing the assertions of a large num-
ber of the ni' nibers who voted against
the resolution, and calls it " A Red-
Letter Hiiv for the Slanderers and
Hnck-bit«rs of llis Excellency."
The News is making no friends and
d< ing itnclf no goad in its unwar-
ranted warfare upon Gov. Ireland.

the Hrenhnm Han tier, of h'ruluy, will ;
be r< ad with inleri <t by many people i
in Waco :
Hubert J. Hay ties, the leader of a j
religious society, lately died iu Hrook- I
lyn, and the memliers of the society |
have been keeping the body, expect-
ing it would take 011 a new 11 If. us a
signification of his ffbiry. What
strange fanaticisms spring out of
religious beliefs !
In IS7-><1 Hohert J. Ifaynes was
thepa'tor of the I'utiiberlanil 1'ies-
bvferian ciiurcli in Waco. The next
beard of him was in IS7S-U, when
lie turned up in Navarro county, the
leader of a "Siiucl ili' ulioii hand
there. His wild cmeer in urn! around
( iiraicana is well remembered. Fi-
lially a band ot men whipped him
one uight and he left for Hrooklyn.
We have not heard of him since un-
til si'i'iug the above item. It I* safe
to assume I hat Ins body ha*n t taken
on a "new life'' yet. W e knew the
man tolerably well, and could never
determine whether ii" was most
linave or fanatic. W'm o liny.

plied Willi the Is st beef thai can lie ,
