Don’t hurt yourself big( ?) broth-
er Belton News, th.e Times didn’t
mean to slander you. Only it is
'the prevailing opinion here that
your editorials were always in the
nature of partly veiled boosts for
Blair and Gully. That’s all.

night at 12:23. Mr. Reed de-had
cided not to work in the gins any
longer, and had hired help and put
on a white shirt and gone into the
city. He was soon sent for and had
to take the place of the man who
had failed to appear according to
engagement. Mr. Reed went to
the gin and in a hurry he failed to re-
move his top shirt as was his cus-
tom. The loose sleeve on the left
hand caught in the saws, with the
above result.
Mr. Reed was twenty-live years
old, a married man who leaves his
wife and one child. His remains
were interred at Belton. Many,
friends in Bell county will join the
Times in extending tender sym
pathies to the bereaved family'.
At the meeting of the commis-
sioners’ court last Saturday the
proposition to repair tha Lampasas
bridge came up and was thoroughly
discussed. It was ascertained that
to repair the bridge and guarantee
it for two and a half years, would
cost $700, but with that amount of
money the bridge could be made
perfectly safe for that length of
time. The court, upon motion, ap-
propriated $525 towards the work
and the citizens of Belton raised
the $175, and the work of repairing
will be done at once. Ben D. Lee
is the man to whom the work has
been awarded and whatever Ben
Lee undertakes to do is always
well done, and our friends in the
southern part of the county can
rest easy about a safe crossing on
the Lampasas, and come on with
their cotton and other produce.—
Belton News.
Mrs. M. C. Hale, of Pendleton-
ville, Bell county, writes: “I have
tried two bottles of Dansby’s Cot-
ton Patch Bitters and find them to
be.a good medicine aud give satis,
faction. I tried them in two cases
of fever and thoy cured both, I can
recommend them for chills and le-
ver.’’ Those who desiro to avoid
suffering and doctor bills should
keep these Bitters on band to take
when they first begin to feel bad
and they will be astonished to see
how a few doses will straighten
them out, and impart new life and
vigor to them. By doing this any
one in Bell (bounty can go thiough
the sick ly season enjoying health
aud happiness.
Appreciating the fact* that fall
business has fairly began, and that
the proper way to push their busi-
ness was by the use of printers ink,
and keeping in the lead in this as
in other things, Messrs. Mayer A
Steiner have in the Sunday and
Weekly Times a one-half page
‘‘ad,” in which they have something
of interest to say to the public.
These young men have established
and built up in Temple a business
that is a credit to them, aud their
succees is but a just reward of their
honest efforts.
Mr. S. A. Eikius has been issuing
on the first of each month a hand-
somely printed four page price cur-
rent, telling the public just how low
groceries can be had. for spot cash*
which indicates that bottom figures
are offered. Mr. Elkins is an enter-
prising merchant /and this price
current is a credit to him. The lists
are printed at this office.
A car load of imported hogs from
the heaths of southern Texas were
unloaded in Temple yesterday and
tolled up 12th street. They were
entirely innocent of the infusion of
any of the modern new fangled im-
provements and exhibited in a
marked degree, the peculiarities of
the ancient razor-back breed.
J. J. Tomlinson, the worthy mas-
ter mechanic of the Santa Fe, ar-
rived in the city yesterday from
Galveston oh a tour of inspection
of his departments of the road.
His friends are all glad to meet
him and extend congratulations
and best wishes foi success in his
new position.
George Gresham and Felix
Schram are back from a short hunt-
ing tour, in the neighborhood of
Sealy. They brought back a few
prairie chickens and ducks as tha
result of their trip.
According to a statement of the
Belton News the taxable valuation
of property in Belton has decreased
$19,101 from 1886 to 1887, and it in-
creased $5,002 from 1887 to 1888, or

Fe boy*. Engineer McKei
in the cab of the regular passenger j
when a few miles this side of Brown*
wood the headlight revealed the
form of a horse dead ahead. The
air brakes were applied and the
train came to a slow speed* while
the clanging of the bell and shriek-
ing of the whistle were resorted to
to scare the beast from the track.
The horse was evidently frightened
but did not give away to a panic
for while he put on his best speed
he suddenly drew up on finding
himself ''n a trestle. By this time
the train was nearly on the poor
animal who thus found himself iq a
position to perform a fine gymnas-
tic feat oi else be dashed to pieces
on the rocks below. The train
hands all got positions to see the
performance, and the old horse
surprised them in a way they never
dreamed of. He just putout his
feet gently and every time lie
brought them down he plumbed a
tie until twenty or more feet of the
trestle work was passed in safety)
when having no doubt thought he
had furnished enough entertain-
ment for one crew, the smart beast
kicked his heels in the air and
gave the right-of-way to McKenzie.
That horse would be a fortune to
his owner if impressed into the cir-
cus business.
Mrs. C. P. Hamilton, of Durango,
accompanied by her little daughter
Etta, was in the city yesterday
and called on the Times. Mrs. H.
left Miss Etta at St. Mary’s acade-
my for the coming scholastic ses-
sion.
The action of the citizens of Tem-
ple in donating free to the farmers
of Bell coun ty, poison to extermi-
nate the cotton worms has received
most favorable comments from the
papers.
Prof. Felix Humphries passed
through the city Thursday en route
to Huntsville, where he will enter
the normal school for the next ses-
sion. Felix is one of the most pop-
ular and best teachers in Bell
county.
How time changes things! Last
week the Belton News found an
issue of the Times that was inter-
esting-made up from subjects tak-
en from the News. Tuesday the
News w-as very readable, it was
made up from Times editorials.
Judge Joe Rosborough passed
through the city yesterday en
r<>ute to Northern Texas. He was
not accustomed to so many trains
at one time, and only caught on the
back end of the train he was to
leave on, after a hundred-yard foot
race, to the amusement of the by-
standers.
Mr. T. H. Ligore, of the Oena-
ville neighborhood was in Temple
Wednesday with a bale of cotton,
for which he got $9.20 per hundred
pounds. He says he will make
about a half bale per acre, and iu
some cases two bales to three acres,
at this rate and cotton selling at
9:20, he says farming pays well.
Will Houston was attached at
Paris, Texas, and brought back to
Temple as a witness iu gambling
cases, and was so badly treated and
threatened there by the gamblers,
that he came over and surrendered
himself to the sheriff and is now in
jail for protection. Comment is un-
necessary.—Belton News.
The above seems from all indica-
tions, to bear the ear marks of a
reproachful truth except that Hous-
ton is not now in jail. Houston was

of cotton. The reporter was just in
time to find Mr. Wilson Calloway
weighing a hale of cotton for Mr
J. W. Givens. Mr. Caloway said
“take out your watch, and tldie
this bale, u e are just ready to start
up.” Accordingly the time was
noted, 3:55 p. m. The load of cot-
ton was driven under the air suc-
tion elevator, the toll taken out and
then the gin started. Up the seed
cotton went, and out rolled the flee-
cy, downy cotton. Here we were
shown the Thomas Direct steam
Self Packing Press, pronounced the
finest cotton press in America by
all who have used then). There is
but one other such press in Bell
county. The press operates upon
the same principal as the same
principle as the Moss Cotton Com-
press, except that in this case the
steam cylinder is under the press
By this method it does not become
necessary to have a man in the box,
commonly known as the“tromp'e.r,”
arid also does away with wet-
ting the sides of the press. Here
the cotton buyers might stick
a pin; they can count absolute-
ly upon paying for*no water in buy-
ing cotton ginned at this gin. They
can of course afford to pay more
(or such cotton. Mr. Caioway said
“here we are,” and out rolled as
p -rfectly shaped bale of cotton as
one could ask to see. The reporter
looked at his watch, it was just
4:15 p. m,, only twenty minutes
since this load of cotton was weigh-
e Jin the seed. At4:20> five min-
utes later, Mr. Givens had his bale
of cotton marked, weighed, in the
wagon with his seed aud was off
for home. “How’s that, twenty-five
minutes to gin, press, weigh and
load cotton and seed ?” said Mr.
Calloway. Well, it was quick work,
but we learn that it is done there
every day in sometimes less time.
Mr. Calloway kindly showed the
reporter through the whole estab-
lishment, from one of the most
complete and systematic sets of
cotton b< oks to the great engine
room. The city gins are in first
class order and are ready to turn
out as much cotton as will come in
this season without delay to the
customers.

He says thirty-five Dushels of wheat

is rather unfortunate that the mon-
ey does not stop in Temple, but
goes to Waco, as Mr. Wheeler,
drummer for Kellum & Rotan, was
the lucky man. Mr. Wheeler ought
to have good feelings for Temple
though and on the occasion of his
next visit to this place he may
come prepared to “set ’em up.” It
will be remembered that just one
year ago Tuesday Mr. E. Steiner of
this city drew $5000. One prize a
year. Who will be next lucky man ?
The Times man is informed that
Mr. Joe Wood, who experienced
such bad luck with his fine sheep
in Temple, immediately returned
to Belton and purchased another
one of the same kind. No one saw
the last one.

The Belton schools are 'more
than ordinarily prosperous this
year. The increase is about 72 per
cent. This speaks two truths:
first, the schools of Belton are su-
perior institutions; second, the
schools throughout the state are
not up to the standard. There is a
temporary craze in reteience to
sending children from home to
learn politeness with the et ceteras,
but this will soon react and the
sooner the home schools reach a
satisfactory standard the sooner
will this reaction take place.

Times man, that Houston was un-
der bond to appear as a witness In
certain gaining eases, with Messrs
T. C. Wright and Geo. R. Bennett
upon the bond. Friday last Hous-
ton came to Mr. Wright and told
him he did not consider his life
safe in Temple, that many threats
had been made against him, and
that he had even been attacked and
soundly beaten and threatened, and
asked that he be turned over to the
sheriff and placed in jail for the
safety of his life. This could not be
denied him, acccordingly Messrs.
Wright and Bennett procured a
carriage and conveyed Houston to
Be ton where he was delivered to
the sheriff, We learn that Hous
ton made his escape from the jailor
and is now at large.
