A Tnttdy and a Dream.
On Wednesday, October 10,
1892.—I retired early aiid im-
mediately fell asleep. I slept
buta few Bjoineots but .during,
the time I dreamed of seeing
my brother, Robert N. Baird,
who was drowned on the 1st
day of June, 1867, As I saw
him in my dream he was dress-
ed in Confederate uniform and
was approaching me from my
right, but seemed to have his
eyes fixed on some object in
front and to the'left of where I
stood. He was quite near me
but did not seem to be looking
at me. Beyond him I could
not see far for there scorned to
be a wall of mist, Turing my
eyes in the direction he fippear-
ed to be looking, I could see
very plainly for some distance,
and Capt. W G. Veal was quite
near me. He was also dressed
in the gray uniform, and I
could see his belt and cavalry
sabre. The two men met di-
rectly in front of me and only a
few feet away, neither of them
looked at me or seemed to
know 1 was present. They
clasped hands but I heard no
word. They sank—rather than
lay down— upon the grass and
looked tenderly into each oth-
waxy lers faces. Brother’s counte-
ble nance was calm, but Capt.
mauth! Veal’s face was both wreathed
! f, with smiles and wet with tears,
as though rejoicing that he had
ccessfully passed through
e terrible ordeaL.-,Finally

To the Democracy of Dolman County.
Now that the war ia over and the
battle won—gloriously won—it be-
come# ua ae aenaible men to cast
about before we go, each to bla pri-
vate calling, aniTacc what we may ex-
pect aa the rcsul1 " ’our moat glori-
ous victory.
Every deiuociv wbo baa firmly
faced the atom) has great reasons to
be exceedingly glad. Never during
the thirty years of radical misrule
has the democratic party been so fu-
riously threatened aa it was before
the election juat past, it hail to tight
hot only its old enemy, which seemed
stronger than ever, buf it bad new
enemies that sprung up from its own
ranks, it seenyed the very gods were
a gain,t It, end no man c ared before
the battle to predict the result. It.
most sanguine friends never guessed
Wjiower. The battle was fought and
never was the enemy so broken, over-
run and trodden down. It is hard
yet to believe that the victory is so
complete. Every democrat turns to
his neighbor, with pleasure beaming
eyes, and whispers, ‘-Frovideuce.” It
seemed the spirit of “Old Hickory”
had come back and bred the hearts
of men.
Let us rejoice that the dark night of
thirty years has passed and that day
is again como. Ben Hill once said, it
will take thirty years to dislodge the
republican party and another thirty
years to undo their nefarious work.
While we rejoice, let us not expect
too much at once. It is first neces-
sary to stop—to call uliiun ’o, our
headlong pace to ruin, befo-e wo can
even start in the right direction.
When once the halt is callec'losoly, said.

election never was witnessed in
Austiu. Election day, was
more like Sunday than any-
thing else. There was no ‘ward
heelers’ or ‘rounders,’ and the
pothouse politicians fonnd their
occupation gone. The stores
and banks and saloons were
closed. The state departments
were closed, too; and all over
the city, men went quietly down
to the polls and voted in the
most business-like manner, and
then went away. There was
scarcely a shout to be heard,
anywhere in the city. I’ll tell
you, it was a great thing.

The democrats when they
step into power next March will
have n sway in the government against the church,
such as they have not enjoyed ‘
since 1859. Thirty-four years
will have passed since they
tasted the sweets of absolute
control of federal affairs. It is
a great privilege which is ac-
corded 'to the democrats, but it
also carries the greatest respon-
sibilities. During Cleveland’s
other term the party was ena-
bled to lay some of the blame
for the erro.s in the manage-
ment-of govermental affairs on
the serial e, which was in re-
publican hands, but that re-
course will not be open to the
democrats now. They have and the debt was raised in full.

There are several churches in
Coleman, the strongest in mem-
bership and influence being
that of our own denominatlbiir
Rev. A. E. Carraway is the effi-
cient and popular pptor. Our
church building is modern,
built after a church extension
plan, at a cost of $6000. It is
a handsome, convenient struct-
ure. In the rear etands-a small
parsonage. The lot is two acres.
It is a sightly and increasingly
valuable propelty. The es-
pecial object of my visit to
Coleman was to assist the pas-
tor in raising a balance of $900
It had
been, like most debts of this
sort, a nuisance and a friction.
It stood in tl>e way of progress.
The pastor had obtained a sub-
scription of $450 conditioned
on the entire amount being
raised. The week before he
had added to this amount by a
quiet canvass. All that was
needed was to use a new shovel
and uncover the shining ore.

people to run the nation accord-
ing to their own ideas of pro-
priety and expediency, and
they will be held to a rigid ac-
countability for their conduct.
No shirking of responsibility
will be possible for them this
time. The opportunity for
them to assert themselves is as
grand ns ever was presented to
any party lu the country’s' en

eration. Upon the use which
they make of their opportuni-
ties their fate will depend.

Mrs. Carraway at the organ all
sang with full voice, “Praise

bewilderment. If messengers
are sent Irom the spirit world
to escort new arrivals across the
border land between earth and
heaven, I know of no one more
likely to be detailed to escort

But why should that revelation
be made to me! If on the oth-

For several years and until
quite recently cattle buyers
have experienced no trouble in
readily obtaining any number
and class of cattle required by
them. All that has been nec-
essary heretofore was for the
buyer to simply let it be known
that he wanted cattle, the sell-
ers would hunt him up, beseige
him in droves, and stay with
him until his requirements were
filled. The situation, however,
is rapidly changing. Already
it has reached a point where
