[Respectfully dedicated to the members of the Texas Press Association, at their
annual meeting at El Paso, April !>0th, 1889.]
mbs. nbllik I'AUKT.
When historians of the future write tho story of to-day,
And inscribe in "shining record," tho parts which heroes play; v
The sword will not be glorilied, nor bo debased the pen—
And the men who lead the vanguard will receive the guerdon then.
The reign of force is over—'tis forever left behind;
The battles of the present arc but conflicts of the mind,
And the mightiest of worrior hosts that for tho battle dress,
Are as pigmies to the men who hold the "thunders of tho Press."
This Herculean civiliz'er knows no repulse nor fear;
It does its work, it speaks its will, and all the eartK must hear,
And the editor, so lute despised—tho butt of many a jyst,
Now finds a way where monarchs fail to do the Right's behest.
From pole to polo, from sea to sea, unmoved by lire or Hood,
Undaunted, brave, persistent, free alike with wealth or blood,
The Agents of tho Press are found, whoro noble work's to do— °
And the world ne'er knows the hardships of these men to duty true.
In the burning sands of Africa a Livingston is lost,
Midst the arctic's dreadful snow-drifts a Greoly, too, is tost;
There is a grief in all the nations for these brave men mourned as dead,
But the Press sends out its searchers—and the rest you all have read.
In every field of Action, and in every line of thought,
The Press is Avant Courier and with mighty powers faught;
'Tin tho poor man's "court of last resort" and lends a,willing ear
To all appeals the people make, unswayed by greed or fear.
Its power is felt and recognized, in "court, and camp, and hall\
Soldier, statesman, commoner, king, the Press does lead them all;
Actor, preacher, politician, and the "merchant prince," no less,
Owe their fame and many "shekels" to the "minions of tho Press."
It can build a town or make a man, or unmake both at will—
Its Merlin-wand, the pencil, hath the power to save or kill;
It can help the struggling forward, it can check oppression's sway,
And the tyrant's will is thwarted when the Press doth bar the way.
Then be true each valiant brother to each purpose great and good—
Unite your wondrous forces for Universal I'.ioIherliood—
Till rejuvenated earth shall rise and lift its voice and bless
The bulwark of our freedom—a free untraninieled Press.

Tuititui.1,, /Tex., April 30.—A
young lady was coming home on a
passenger train a few days ago and
was occupying a seat by herself. A
negro named Henry boarded the
train at Elmo and with some impu-
dence took his seat by tho side of
the young lady. Henry returned
to Elmo and after dark he was called
on by several men who took him
out and gave him a genuine whip-
ping. The constable found Henry
next morning and notified him that
he was ready to serve papers on any
of the parties implicated in his
whipping. Henry replied that lie
was not going to complain and that
if tho white folks were satisfied he
was, and since theiy he has been
unusually polite.

\V: D. Suit, Druggist, lJipus, Indiana,
testifies: "I can recommend Electric
Bittern as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every
euse. One man took six bottles, and
was cured of Itheumatism of ltf years'
standing. "Ahrain Hare, druggist, Uell-
ville, Ohio, affirms; "The best selling
medicine 1 have uvcr handled in my 20
years' experience, is Electric flitters."
Thousands of others have added their
testimony, so that tho verdict is unani-
mous that Electric Hitters do cure all
diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.

Pakis, Tkxas, May 7.—A llains
county farmer had 150 acrcs of
sandy land in cotton last year. He
put oil lights in his field at night
and he made 140 bales of cotton.
A neighbor with about tho same
acreage had 110 lamps and made
only seven bales.
1 think every paper in tho State
should publish this fact and com-
ment 011 it. Lamps cost about 25
cents and will burn about 2 cents
worth of oil a night. The follow-
ing from the Paris News will bo of
intersst in this connection;
The Be^tncll Prairie Agricul-
tural society, organized to protect
our crops against the ravages of
the cotton worm and to discuss all
matters pertaining to horticulture
and to the improvement of stock,
now boasts of a membership of
about fifty of our best farmers.
All who have put out lights report
that they are destroying the parse-
ley worm millers by llio thousands.
Those that sting the young squares
are the most easily caught and I
feel assured I have caught most of
tjiem on jny cotton land. We aro
catching son/-boll worm millers,
and a peep into our pans would
lead one to think that tho whole
miller family had given up tho
ghost and yielded to Becknoll
Prario society. The present indi-
cations are that we will he able to
put out, lights on three-fourths of
the prairie. Observation convin-
ces me that the miller does not fly
a great distance from where it is
hatched unless carried by the
winds, and when once destroyed
011 a certain field the Mold is not
in much danger from neighboring
lands. We are putting one light
to five acres, and regard the ex-
periment so far as a success.

Although Mrs. Cleveland is out
of office, so to speak, it is evident
that she is lo be a factor in society
if not, indeed, in politic.*. Aecor-
ing to the World she was the recip-
ient of much attention at the cen-
tennial ball. When she departed
from tlie hall room she received
more consideration than the Har-
risons. The ladies rose en masse
and threw their hoqifls in front of
her and around her. She liltcral-
ly left the hall upon a roadway of
(lowers. This was Woman's im-
pulsive tribute to womanly grace.
Hut then the men all eh ered too.
Is it a wonder that Mr. Cleveland
still regards himself as a candidate
for president with a star of destiny
hanging just above his bald head.
