Ohio has beaten the wooden

Governor Steele of Oklaho-

It is humiliating to hear a Tex-

can.

To tiu IfagttWs*.
A big fat, sleek ootton picker
it about the proper people in tale
community just now. He is given
the beet room, the finest the mar-
ket affords, and if his day's work
tips the beam at 200 pounds he
stands a pretty good show to
drive the old farmer's daughter
out to church on Sunday.
The over-crop of cotton and the
great demand for laborers has
"bulled" the price of labor from
65 cents last year to 85 cents this
year, and the lack of a sufficient
supply of John Sherman dollars
has "beared" the market for the
lint from 10 to 7i cents per
pound.
A 500-pound bale of cotton last
year at 10 cents, and the seed at
15 cents per bushel, netted the
farmer 144.40, after picking. This
year the same amount of cotton
and seed is worth #25, with a
short crop in the country.
Our politicians and financiers
are invited to rise and explain.
Or perhaps a sub-treasury disci-
ple might give us a solution of
the problem.
Pork last year at 5 cents and
corn at $1.00, and corn this year at
35 cents and a probability of pork
at 6 cents is another freak of
nature. The pig last year that
was fed five bushels of corn and
weighed 200 pounds, netted his
owner §5.00. A pig this year
year that is fed five bushels of
corn will net his owner 110.25.
When those good old days
come when we can pawn our pigs
and potatoes to the government
for treasury notes we will regu-
late this American commerce.

Speaking of Papa Cleveland and
Grandpapa Flower of New York
Hon. R. W. Fyan of Marshfield
has just become a grandfather
Mr. Fyan, as everybody knows, is
the Missouri member of congress
from the Springfield district and
one of the most eloquent members
of the delegation. Several months
ago he suffered severe injuries to
his limbs by a fall and has since
remained in his bed, nursing a
broken hip. When the news of
Mr. Cleveland's girl baby's arrival
reached Marshfield, the congress-
man beamed with pleasure as he
said:
"Well, well! Good! Telegraph
my congratulations."
One week later he was advised
that Roswell P. Flower of New
York had become the grandfather
of a boy baby. Said the congress-
man:
"Well, well, well! Seems to be
a year for babies. Send Mr.
Flower my congratulations."
A few days later he was in-
formed that an eight-ponnd girl
baby had arrived at the home of
his son and daughter-in-law, Har-
ry and Sophia Fyan. The con-
gressman rose up on his elbow
and shouted:
"Great Ciesar's ghost! Well,
well, well! I'm about out of girl
baby telegraph blanks, but God
bless 'em."
Then

some cookb county facts.
It was created in 1848 ont of
Fannin county, and was named in
honor of William G. Cooke.
It is almost exclusively a farm-
irg country, but is well situated
for stock raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided, black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
fonnd excellent timber and water.
Red River borders the county
for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
The assessed value of property
in 1890 was $7,160,659.
Improved lands sell from $10|to
140 an acre.
Unimproved lands from $5 to
$15 per acre.
In 1889 the number of marriages
was 373 and the number of di-
vorces 28.
There are 86 public schools in
the county and in 1890 there were
4099 children of scholastic age,
and 87 teachers employed. Aver-
age wages paid to male teachers
$42.50 per month; female teachers
$38.85.
This does not include the city
of Gainesville, which has charge o
her own public schools.
The state paid last year $16,396
on tuition besides what came
from the county fund and from
district taxes.
In 1890 there were 151 mort-
gages recorded, amounting to
f348,975.
There were in 1890 1857 farms
in the county.

tle.

In 1890 -here were 21,308 acres
in wheat.
In 1890 there were 608 acres in
sweet potatoes.
In 1890 there were 4062 acres in
millet
In 1891 this acreage is largely
increased, and the finest crops
ever grown were raised.
The fruit crop is very large and
is increasing each year.
Cooke county is well adapted
to raising peaches, apples and all
small fruits.
•The people of the county are
comparatively free from debt and
are in a thriving condition com-
pared with the population of
most agricultural counties.
Two railroads run through the
center of the county. The M. K.
& T. runs throngh from east to
west and the Santa Fe from north
to south, giving communication
with all the great cities of the
country.
a mystery explained.
The papers contain frequent
notices of rich, pretty and educat-
ed girls eloping with negroes,
tramps and coachmen. The well,
known specialist, Dr. Franklin
Miles says all snch girls are
more or less hysterical, ner-
vous, very impulsive, unbal-
anced; usually subject to head-
ache, neuralgia, sleeplessness,
immoderate crying or laughing.
These show a weak nervous sys-
tem for whicn there is no remedy
enual to Restorative Nervine.

All pastry and pie crust
made with Cottolene is war-

4 REASONS
1st. Cottolene is the purest
of all cooking fats, and re-
commended by all expe-
rienced cooks and bakers.
3d. Cottolene is the healthi-
est o( all cooking fats, and
recommended by all emi-

3d. Cottolene costs no
more per pound than lard,
and much less than but-
ter, and is better than
either for all cooking.
4th. One pound of Cotto-
lene is equal in shorten-
ingto two pounds of lard

say it gives universal satisfaction,
