Sfnator Manderson has intro-
duced a bill making the payment
of enlisted men in the army
monthly instead of bi-monthly, as
at present. The change would
doubtless be hailed with pleasure
by the army.
Mr. D. L, Moody, the evange-
list, declares that there has never
been a case of cancer among the
Hebrews. He attrihivtef ine~ir
exemption froirt'hat terrible dis.
ease to their abstinence from the
use of pork as an article of food.
A pointer here.
Barney Gibbs couldn't stand it
any longer without being inter-
viewed. It does seem that if the
immuaculate Barney did not pro-
vide some means by which bis
superabundance of pent up gas
could escape at short intervals he
would certainly explode. There
is one fact however, that must be
very consoling to the people, and
that is that his interviews are
much more interesting to himself
than the people.
Jackson, Tennessee, is enjoy-
ing a trial for libel that promises
to be a sensationol and interesting
as the Beecher case. Rev. Fred-
erick L. Howard has Bued a large
number of citizens and also the
Tennessee Baptist, the Chata-
nooga Reflector and Forked Deer
Blade for $50,000 damages for
charging that the doctor's atten-
tentions to some of the other sex
were not of the proper kind. All
Tennessee is watching the fun.
PRINCE P0L1GNAC.
When we were overtaken by the
calamities of civil war, a young
Frenchman, Prince Polignac gave
his sword to the south. As was
said of his great prototype, La-
Fayette, he was no unknown ad-
venturer, seeking a name and a
grave in a foreign land; he stood
before kings and sat among prin-
ces. But the self-sacrifice of
Prince Polnac was not destined to
be rewarded by the good fortune
and success that attended the
arms of LaFayette. Our cause
wa3 lost.
Prince Polignac's command was
composed chiefly of Texans. To
them at the grand Confederate re-
union at Dallas he wafted his
"word of greeting from afcv» "
In middle age and in th^jeclusion
of an Austrian r<,iley, he still
cherishes thr memory of the
catfe^if Ap tvnich he warmed up in
his youth. Ought not Texas
also cherish the memory of this
heroic and chivalrous man and
perpetuate it here by some suita-
ble testimonial? The Examiner
suggests that the legislature give
his name to a new county at its
next session. This would be a
graceful recognition of his ser-
vices.
We clip the above /rom the
Waco Examiner of the 10th inst.,
which we feel confident will not
only meet with the hearty ap-
proval of every ex-Confederate
who served under the gallant lit-
tle Prince during the late civil
war, but with the great masses of
the citizens of Texas. The writer
of this, for one, who had the dis-
tinguished honor of following the
fortunes of that gallant aid chiv-
alrous commander for nearly two
years, heartily endorses the sug-
gestion of the Examiner.
Syrup of Figs
Is the delightful liquid laxative,
and the only true remedy for ha-
bitual constipation and the many
ills depending on a weak or in-
active condition of the kidneys,
liyer and bowels. It is a pleasant
remedy to take, bcth to old and
young; it is gentle in its action and
effective; it is acceptable to the
stomach, and strengthens the or-
gans on which it acts. Manu-
factured only by the California Fig
Syrup company, San Francisco,
Cal. For sale by H. O. Craven,',
Gainesville, Texas.

The tax roll of 1888 gives the

Arkansas City, Kansas, claims
to be the gateway to the Territory
on the north, while Gninesville,
Texas, says they have the honor
of being the gateway on the south.
That being so, Purcell must be

ers. Open wide your gateways
and let the multitude through.—
Purcell Register.
The Gainesville gate on the
south will be thrown wide open
and its hinges kept well oiled by
our wholesale merchants, who
will no doubt reap a rich harvest
in outfiitting parties who wish to
pass through, as this will be the
objective point from the south.
James G. Blaine has written a
very lengthy letter to B. F. Jones
chairman of the Republican
National committee with a request
that his name be withdrawn as
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination. In his
letter declining to allow his name
to be presented to the convention,
he says:
"I am constrained to this de
ci3ion by considerations entirely
personal to myself of which you
were advised more than a year
ago, but I cannot make the an
nouncement without giving ex
pression to my deep sense of grati-
tude to the many thousands of my
countrymen who have sustained
me so long and cordially that their
feeling has seemed to go
beyond the ordinary politi-
cal adherence of fellow parti
sans and to partake some-
what of the nature of personal at-
tachment." ♦ ♦ *
The withdrawal of Mr. Blaine
from the contest, should he not
reconsider his action in the premi-
ses by a peremptory order to
"burn this letter," before the as
sembling of the convention will
in all probability give Sherman
a clean walk-over for the nomina-

Reagan's kettletome Wife.
No one would accuse the staid,
rugged, honest-hearted Senator
Reagan of Texas of such a piece
of sprighlliness as oc cured recent-
ly. Mrs. Reagan is a little body
about one-third the avordupois of
her husband. One of Pennsyl-
vania's country representatives
who had been wounded in the
Union lines at Antietam, desiring
to extend the courtesies of the
opening season to the wife of the
ex-postmaster-general of the con-
federacy and several of her lady
friends, invited them to a drive in
the direction of the president's
summer home, which the ladies
had never seen and which had
placed their curiosity on the tip-
toe of desire. The Pennsylvania
ex-officer and legislator hired a
stylish outfit and fixed a time for
the proposed drive. The senator
meantime heard what had been
planned, and quietly hired a hack
and invited some of the young la-
dies in the neighborhood to ac-
company him. Lehigh's law-
maker was on hand. The ladies
took their seats in the carriage
and drove off. The judge soon
brought up his hack and the
young ladies got in and all drove
toward Oakview. A rumbling
was heard in the rear of the colo-
nel's vehicle. "Why, look, there
comes the senator." Sure enough,
thf-re he was, sitting as compla-
cently as possible among the neigh-
borhood beauties. "I'll give the
driver a dollar if he don't let the
judge pass us," shouted Mrs.
Reagan. The Colonel not to be
outdone, said, "Yes, and I'll
make it $2." The munificence of
this prospective reward at the ex-
pense of the muscular energy of
his steeds was sufficient stimulus
to work the quadrupeds for all
the mettle they had in them.
Down the abrupt declivities and
up the sharp ascent of Woodley
Lane the two vehicles dashed
with the traditional vigor of the
Roman chariots of old. The
judge and his bevy of beauties
had to take the dust of the first
lady and referee of tfie Reagan
household, notwithstanding sev-
eral lively sports on the home-

HOUSE FOB RENT.
New York, Phildelphia and
Boston dry goods houses—that is
the leading houses, are having a
tremendous run just now on that
most desirable dress fabric FIG-
URED CHALLI> In fact there
is quite a furore over it.
And "asper usual,"we of course
must have it, for we muBt be in
the swim don't von iuow.
Tilese popular fabrics are to be
found on our counters only, and
are here in every figure and color.
Sometimes what is popular in
the East is unsuitable for general
wear in this our sunny South—but
these CIIALLIS are just the
thing, sheer, light and pretty,
and best of all perhaps; 22i cents
a yard is all it costs.
There's no let up to the popu-
larity of those Embroidered back,
kid gloves at $1 a pair, sold else-j
where at 81.50. Ladies we have j
still a very fair supply of them—
how long they'll last, don't know.

your inspection.

Kid button boots—with extra siz£
ankles—can't get them anywhere

cially to resist the extra wear and
tear, and you'll not have cause to
