Commissioner Luck, of Beat No 3-
was in town a few days ago aud from
the conversation the writer had with
him, he is satisfied that ho is deeplyiu-
terested iu the flnancialconditiou of the
county. Tho couuty’s interests when
entrusted to him will not be permit-
ted to suffer. And the same thing
may be said of the entire court. Each
member is imbued with a high sense
of honor, aud will, in administering
the affairs of the county, act far her as
ho would for himself iu business
transactions. By referring to tho
court proceedings iu this issue it will
be observed that the ceurt iu passiug
upon claims adhere strictly to the law.
The Journal, several weeks ago,
suggested to LaGrauge capitalists, who
had money lying idle in the banks or
about their homes bid away iu old
stockings, that it would, perhaps, be a
good idea to invest it iu neat, inexpen-
sive residences, to supply the demand
for such property. It is now pleased
to know that Mr. John Speckels, Sr.,
aud Mr. Wm. Haase aro erecting such
buildings iu the vicinity of the M. K.
& T. depot. Each of those gentlemen,
wo understand, have two or more cot-
tages under construction, which will
soon be completed aud ready to occupy.
Mr. A. S. Maun, tho deputy county
clerk, informs The Journal that
there was filed in that office during the
year 1898, 967 mortgages, involving a
sum amounting to over $108,000, bear-
ing eight and ten per cent, interest.
He says that the number for the year
1894 will probably bo greater, as there
was filed for record during January
and February three hundred mortga-
ges. These instruments embraoo chat-
tel and crop mortgages, as well as
those on real estate.
ONE PRICE TO ALL.

Postmaster Ehliuger says that he has
received orders from the posteffice de-
partment, that in all his business trans-
actions with that department, he must

Journal cannot see why this should
be so. Nearly one-half tho States have
a town er city called by that name.
Hence, if the change is ordered for the
purpose of distinguishing this place for
any purpose, what chauges will be or-
dered iu writing tho names of the oth-
er towns and cities bearing the same

Mr. Frank Reichert, tho furniture
dealer, had a close call for his life last
Friday eveuing. He was returning
with his wagou from the Katy depot
and while crossing the tracks, of which
thero are are three or four, an engine
struck his wagon, reducing it to kind-
ling wood, while he and his horse mi-
raculously escaped serious injury. It
seems there wore several tars on the
tracks which prevented him from see-
ing tho approaching engine, aud he
was not aware of (he proximity of one
until his wagon was struck.
Thero were good congregations out,
both morning and night, Suuday, to
hear Rev. Wm. Wimberly, resident
pastor of tho Methodist church. He
prenched two powerful sermons, such
ns is not the good fortune of many
people to hear. Ills sermon at night
was directed chiefly to tbe unconvert-
ed, and wns a strong aud touching ap
peal to them to give their hearts to
God. One young man went forward
and signified his desire to join the
church. He will be admitted next Sun-
day. _
The Journal has heard it stated
that those who fed cattle during the
winter aud shipped them te northern
markets for sale, lost eu average ten
dollars a head. One of the alleged
reasons for this ie said to be on account
of tho decrease io consumption. The
stringency of the times has caused
many people to quit buyiug meat or
buying in smallor quantity. Butchers
in the cities who formerly killed aud
sold 12 aud 16 beeves a day, now elaugb
ter about half that number.
Mr.-Gould, a geutlemau hailing
from Palestine, was here (he first of
the week laklug a look over LaGrauge,
with a view of establishing a marble
yard. He claims to be proprietor
of a yard at Palestine, bat is anxious
te establish another. He tbiuk* this
place is a good point for a yard aud in
this The Journal concur*.

About oue thousaud people were pres-
ent to listen to tbe spieudid music aud
sougsrondered by this club. The piauo,
cornet aud violiu solos by Messrs. Pitt,
Sheppard aud Schooh respectively, es-
pecially deserved much praise. At the
conclusion of the concert Mr. Collins,
the instructor, was presented with a
beautiful cane by the club.
Au entertainment was given Tues-
day eveniug by Prof. Hatnberliu’e class

The President of the University oi

A new organization, known as the

president, and Geo. Cooke, secretary.
The object of this organization is part-
ly lo upheld the dignity and superiori-
ty of red-headed meu, aud to demon-
strate that there is an advautage in
having read hair. Hereafter, with such
orgauizatious as these existing, no one
need be ashamed of haviug red hair.

The Human Electrical Forces!
How They Control the Organs
of the Body.
The electrical force of tho human body, u
the netre fluid may be termed, U an espe-
cially attractive department of science, as it
exerts so marked an Influence on the health
Qf the organs of the body. Nerve force is
produced oy the brain and conveyed by
means of the nerves to the various organs of
the body, thus supplying tho latter with thi
vitality necessary to In-
sure tnelr health. The
pneumogastrlc nerve, as
shown here, may be said
to be the most important
of the entile nerve sys-
tem, as it supplies the
heart, $ lungs, stomach,
bowels, etc., with the
nerve force necessary to
keep them active and
healthy. As will be seen
by tbe cut tbe long nerve
descending from the
base of tne brain and
terminating in the bow-
els is tbe pneumogastrlc,
while the numerous llt-j
tie branches supply
heart, lungs and si
ach with necessary
tallty. When the di
becomes in any way dl
ordered by lrrltaDlltl
or exhaustion, the nen _
force which It suppliee
Is lessened, and the or*
gans receiving the di-
minished suppli
mlnlshed supply area
sequently weakened.

The noted specialist, Franklin Miles, M. I).,
LL. B., nas siren the treater part of his life
to the study of this subject, and the principal
d Iscorerles concerning It are due to his efforts.

valed brain and nerve food, Is prepared on the
principle that all nervous and many other
dlfficultlei originate from disorders of the
nervecenters. Its wonderful success In curing
these disorders Is testified to by thousands in
every part of the land.

nervous prostration, dlitlnesa. hysteria, sex-
ual debility, 8t. Vitus dance, epilepsy, etc. It
is free from opiates or dangerous drugs. It
Is sold on a positive guarantee by all drug-
gists, or sent direct by the Dr. Miles Medical
