The November number of that
encellent magazine, the Domes-
tic Monthly, is before us, and
gives a clear and comprehensive
account of the accepted styles,
now prevailing, and coming in
the approaching winter season,
all being distinguished by that
preciseitbss, clearness, and prac-
tical value of the information
embodied, tor Which this maga-
zine is so justly celebrated. Its
literary contents, as usual, arc
first clues. Published by Blake
A Co., 839 Broadway, New York,

While iu Fort Worth a few
days ago we saw a young cou-
ftle fresh from the parson wend-
ng their way down Houston
street, and when in front of T.
J. Burt's hardware store, the
bride of an hour turned to ner
Charles Augustus and said:
"Yon promised that if I would
marry you I would not huve to
eat out of a kettle nor cook be-
fore an open fire, so come In here
and let's pick out a stove, and.
Charley, here's everything we
Want tocommence housekeeping
with except furniture, and we
ran get that where A. O. ltob.
bins stays, two doors below
here." Aud Mr. Burt sold them
a splendid 'settiu' out and tln-v
went a way greatly pleased.
Now that so many farm-
ers are going to Fort Worth wi th
their cotton, grain and stock to
sell the "wimmin" folks are very
apt to insist that the head of the
family shall buy new furniture.
It has been said that the best
furniture is to )k> found atrHenry
EichofTs, east side of Houston
street, and that he sells a little
cheaper than any other house in
the city. That popular sales-
man, A. O. Bobbins, will be on
hand to welcome you and attend
to your wants,
A superstition exists among
some people-that a human body
washed in cat's blood becomes
impervious to bullets. If a few
hundred persons entertaining
this belief will visit our back
yard these moon-light nights, we
will show them "oodles" of cats,
and will be too happy to furnish
nmnnitlpn to kill them—not the
people, but the blasted cats.
13T Night Tapers for the sick
chamber, only 10 cents a box,

nell's.
We; expect a number of the
old picket houses . which have
outlived ttitlr usefulness and
now preserif anything but an in-
viting appearance to a stranger,
will succomb to (he storms this
winter. Our prayer is that they
may tumble down and be re
placed by goi
stone or brick houses.

Messrs.HaiTefl, Beavert, Knox,

Mr. Moore, traveling agent of
the East Texas Fire Insurance
Company, Tyler, Texas, has
been "rounding up" our business
men gathering shekels from and
issuing fire policies to them.
Now that the insurance man
has been here, and' winter is
coming, wo advise our citizens
to look closely to their chimneys,
stove-pipes and fiues. Too.mucli
caution cannot be exercised to
guard against fires. ; v
One day last week Will liar
rell weighed 18,507 pounds of
cotton on his large scales. Dur-
ing the past four weeks he has
weighed 180.170 pounds. This
is not near all the cotton brought
into this place, for a great deal
of it has been weighed in nt the
gin and store-houses..
