We can all turn our attention to
building up Albany and make a rat-
tling good town of it by at all times
talking it up, and showing our faith
by our works. Nothing will make a
town quicker than to have its citizens
take a lively interest in building
school houses and places of worship,
and then beautifying their private re-
sidences. Albany needs a school
house and the 15th we are to have an
election to decide whether or not

Detroit Free Press :—Between Greens-
boro’ and Salisbury the locomotive
broke down, and we lay for i^ree
hours while repairs were being made.
There was a small lake near by, and
the colonel got out his fishing-tackle,
hunted up a frog for bait, and tried
his luck. He fished that pond length
ways and sideways, and up and dowi
and across for two hours arid a half,
and he was still at it when a whit;
man came through the woods and
stopped and inquired: “Had any
luck?” “Not a bit.” “Fishing for
fish?” “Of course.” “Just to pas|
the time?” “Yes.” “Then it’s all
right. “Suppose I wasn’t tishingjust
to pass the time?” “Then I’d feel it
my duty to tell you that this lake was
drained off last week and every bless-
ed fish scooped out. This ere water
came in from the last rain.” So
many of the passengers insisted that
the colonel owed them one that the
contents of his flask did not go half
way round.
Every man has his hobby. A pro-
fessor of vocal music has been saying
that if an hour was daily devoted in
our public schools to the develope-
ment of vocal music there would not
be the sad spectacle of drooping,
withered, hollow-chested children.
He says nations given to the cultiva-
tion of vocal music have strong and vig
orous people with expansive chests. He
says singing will prevent phthisic. It
is an idea. The Swiss mountaineers
are a hardy people. They must be to
live where they are barn. They are
singers. It may be they are singers
because they are healthy ; and it may
be they are healthy because they are
singers. The canary bird will not
sing when it is not well. It never
full of borrowed tobacco.
G. T. Reynolds and D, O. Camp-
bell, of Reynolds Brothers, Albany,
Tex., returning from attending the
shipment of their cattle to Wendover,
Wyo. T., arc at the Ellis house and
give in their experience as follows:
“We have just returned from the
Northwest, where we shipped about
eight thousand five hundred head of
cattle, part for our ranch, the balance
being cattle contracted for which we
were interested in. We shipped over
the Fort Worth and Denver from Giles
station. Our entire loss was only sev-
en head, being less than one to the
1000 shipped. We attribute our
small loss to light loading, and espe-
cially to the treatment our stock receiv-
ed from the whole “crew” of the
Fort Worth and Denver railroad.
Superintendent Duncan, Newlin and
Leary not only exerted themselves in
handling the cattle, but every railroad
man we had anything to do with treat-
ed us and our stock with the greatest
consideration—even the man with the
prod proded lightly. Were we sur-
prised? Well, not exactly. You
know Fort Worth has an aged reputa-
ion for its kind treatment of the
stockmen and has been their friend
first, last and all the time, and this
road, one of her grandest enterprises,
will, we feel assured, only add to her
well earned reputation. We have
been shippers a long time and have
shipped over many of the best roads
in the country, many of them noted
for the fine handling of stock, but
none of them have treated us better
of
us
than the Fort Worth and Denver.
After all, good men and kind treat-
ment tells the tale. We would ad-
intends to do great things “when'
Williamson gets well.” From
this we take it that when he
gets well Mr. Williamson will do all
the pitching, catching and batting for
the club, for these are the points
where the clup appeals to be lament-
ably weak. The Williamson excuse
does not go down, however, with the
many who are acquainted with the
tactics of the Chicago Baseball Club.
There has never been a time within
the last two years when the club has
not been going to “come out all
right,” the public has been pumped
full of “whens” and “ifs” and “buts,”
and mighty unsatisfactory foddor
these things are. Wind is not base-
brll, neither is it a fair substitute for
confidence. The game which the
Chicago Baseball Club has been play-
ing for two years is not baseball, it is
simply and unqualifiedly a confidence
game.
A Pennsylvania judge tlie other day
refused to grant naturalization paper.?
to ten applicants who could not prove
themselves men of good character.
To a man who had lived in the coun-
try twenty years and who applied for
them now because somebody else was
willing to pay the fees, he said “a
man who is too mean to pay for the
rights of citizenship is not entitled to
them.” The name of this judge is
Ewing, and he seems to be an all
round daisy —Fort Wortli Gazette.

The Russian method for stopping a

They place a cord with a running
knot around the horse’s neck near the
neck strap. To this slip noose attach
a pair of reins, which may be thrown
over the dashboard ready to be seized
at once. When the horse starts take
up the extra reins, and tighten the
cord around the horse’s throat. The

Corpus Christi ( aller— A collection
of two hundred and thirty-four rattle
snake rattles, and a rattle snake skin
four feet and a half long, were sent to
Governor Ross last Wednesday by
Louis E. Laulom. The collection was
made in Starr county by Gaudalupe
Falcon. The people who have to con-
tend with the reptiles on the prairies
are in hope that the governor will
urge upon the next legislature the im-
portunes of making a law offering pre-

the State does for cayote and wilcat
scalps, as the snakes are deadly ene-

Poor farming and poor horses go
hand in hand, says Field and Farm.
You never see a good crop of any
kind raised by a lot of broken-down
plugs or an inferior class of horses,
except where the land is so productive
that it would be impossible to raise a
poor crop. A poor farm may be
made much better by farming it with
teams that are able to cultivate the
crops in the best possible manner.
If deep plowing is best, it cannot well
be done, or done at all, with inferior
horses. The preparation of the
ground for planting is a laborious
task, and without good strong horses
it cannot be done well. In short,
there is no work on the farm that a
good team cannot do to a better ad-
vantage than a poor one, and for this
reason, if nothing else, a farmer
stands in his own' light when he tries
to get along with- art inferior class* of
horses. The day is not far in the fu-
ture when this fact will be more ful-
Mr. William Kerns not long since
had a visit from a friend from the east,
who wished to purchase land and lo-
cate somewhere in this state. Mr.
Kerbs sent his friend out to look at the
Umpqua valley, and he returned with
tale of the section he visited.
He said that he visited a farmer
who had a great drove of hogs all of
which had lost their tail. He inquir-
ed how this had happened, and the
farmer said the caudal appendages
had been amputated, and when it was
asked why this was done, he was told
it was to prevent the animals from be-
coming blind. This startling an-
nouncement led to further inquiry and
explanation.
The farmer stated that the soil on
his farm was what is known as black
mud. It Is very rich and also very
adhesive, and the pigs in wallowing
around get their tails daubed with it,
and a clod finally accumulates on each
pigs’ tail, which grows by accretion
and accumulation to an immense size,
and becoms so heavy that it drags
back the pigs’ skin so far that the un-
fortunate animal is no longer able to
shut its eyes, and soon becomes blind-
ed from the glare of the sun. By cut-
