J. Lobit, parties of the first part, and M. L.
McClave, party of the second, parr, wbeiebv the
said Nichols ana Lobit, in consideration of the
sum of $4278.53 cash to them paid by raid Me-
Clave, and of the three promissory notes oi the
said McClave, dated May 14,1890, due and paya-
ble respectively on or before one, two and
three years after date for the sum of $4278 53
each, with interest from said date at the rate of
eight per cent per annum, payable annually,
contracted and agreed to sell to said Me lave ail
that certain tract or pa-cel of land lying and
being situate in the county of Galveston, in the
state of Tex -s, being described and bounded as
follows; 1369 13 100 acres out of the S. F. Austin
league, commencing at the southeast corner of
said league, thence north 4241% varas to railroad
right of way; thence in a northwesterly direc-
tion 1193 varas to a stak--; thence south 51% de-
grees west 232 varas <o a stake; thtnee south,
77% degrees west, 238% varas along the country
road; thence south 5107 4 10 varas to a stake on
the south line of said league; thence east 1175%

sons as he might designate, a warranty deed or

said McClave should pay all of said notes, with
inierest, according to their terms and condi-
tions, which said McClave agreed to do, and
provision was made m said contract whereby
said land might be sold in small tracts and
proper deeds and releases be given, but no such
sales have been made; and whereas it was fur-
ther stipulated that in case default should be
made in the fulfillment of said agreement, or
any part thereof, upon the part of the party of
the second part, then the parties of the 'first
part were authorized and empowered to sell said
land in the manner and upon the terms herein-
after mentioned and to apply the proceeds as
set forth below; and whereas said first note is
past due aud all said notes are unpaid, except
that each note has, by agreement of ail the

THE GROWTH OF AN ORDER.
t
The Streamers to Go.
Like the belle of one season, the hats
of this month present a more complete
roundness of effect than the first buds
that burst upon our vision at Eastertide,
There is more of .the suggestion of
aummer about them. The vernal air is
gone, and the promise of rich July and
August fulfillment is seen now in essen-
tially seaside and mountain chapeaux.
Young girls always look well in large
hats, and especially large white hats.
Do you observe that on not one of the
very latest designs do streamers appear?
If there ever was a style so suddenly
and overwhelmingly popular, yet so gro-
tesque in its misconception, we have yet
to hear of it, and though, as a rule, heart
and hand in sympathy with fashion's
wildest freaks, we pray for a speedy de-
liverance from the epidemic of floating
ribbons in all colors, qualities and
lengths.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Best Pianos for the Price.
If any pianos or organ could be had
with greater merits than those we keep,
which could be sold for less money, we
certainly would handle them. We are
the largest buyers and have the entire
industry to select from.
Thos. Goggan & Bro , Galveston.
The Care of Sealskin.
It is said with truth that the moth
which exterminates does not enter seal-
skin; this is quite true, but in his place
comes an insidious little worm which
eats his way through and is a hundred
times more objectionable. He is the re«
suit of dirt. You look indignant, and
yet many of you put your seal coats
away while they are absolutely dirty.
Now the proper way to do is to get out
your coat, shake it thoroughly, hang it
on the clothesline and beat it until not
a particle of fluff will come from it;
then let it sun for half the day; after
this fold it carefully, not doubling it
oyer, but allowing it to lay out its full
length; then sew over it very closely
coarse muslin; over this pin heavy
sheets of newspaper; then having lined
your box with newspapers lay in the
queer shaped package, cover it with
newspapers, put the lid on, and to be
sure that it is air tight, tie it with a
good strong cord, mark what is in the
box and put it in a dark closet.
Use newspapers in preference to any
other kind. By putting your coat away
so that it is air tight, in utter darkness
and thoroughly clean, it will come out
when you need it as good as new. For
the trimmed coats a somewhat more
elaborate arrangement is necessary. Of
course the trimming must have a spe-
cial cleaning and you must be sure to
literally bang out all the moth eggs in
it, if any are there. For if you put a
coat away i?t which these tiny eggs are,
you might just as well count it as eaten
up, for they will hatch, and your fur
trimming will be greedily absorbed by

The woman who has once known the
dainty luxury of the silk petticoat and
has listened to its soothing swish will
never give it up. If she cannot afford
to walk into a shop and buy the smart-
est one in stock, she can at least turn
the old silk evening gowns, yes, and the
silk skirt linings, into this favorite de-
tail of her wardrobe. The black and
shot taffetas glaces make the most desir-
able silk petticoats, as they are durable
and do not absorb dust. But if you can-
not afford such an expensive petticoat
take the old China silk skirt of any
color, have it dyed black, buy some
pretty, inexpensive lace and gather over
a ruffle of the silk.
Do not make your petticoats too long
or they will speedily become a weariness
to the flesh. The best length is midway
between the knee and ankle; then they
escape the choice collection of filth gath-
ered by the trained skirt, as well as the
devastations of high heels. The most
beautiful silk petticoats now shown for
street wear are in shaded taffetas of old
rose and golden brown tints. They are
trimmed with three ruffles of silk pinked
out at each edge.—Once a Week.
A Matrimonial Mascot.
Mrs. Mary Brown, colored, is a matri-
monial mascot who never fails to be on
hand at wedding events. She is aged
about fifty, married and has lived in
Jeffersonville, Ind., since the war. It
is said that she has attended every wed-
ding solemnized in public places within
that time; how many she cannot reca;
but they number in the five figures, i
some instances she has been tendered
invitations, but in the majority of cases
she goes whether wanted or not. No
matter how fashionable the affair, nor
how crowded the edifice, she takes her
stand near the aisle and awaits the com-
ing of the bride and groom elect.
She is tl first to leave the church,
and she will descant for weeks on the
loveliness of the bride and the manliness
of the groom. Many times she is not
wanted, but that is a small matter.
She has an irresistible desire to be pres-
ent, and she cares little who objects.
She is a hard working woman, support-
ing a husband by the sweat of her brow.

Deserving Praise.
We desire to say to our citizens that
for years -wehave been selling Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, Dr.
King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve and Electric Bitters, and have
never handled remedies that sell as
well, or that have given such universal
satisfaction. We do not hesitate to
guarantee them every time, and we
stand ready to refund the purchase price
if satisfactory results do not follow their
use. These remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.

The Organization of the King’s Daugh-
ters and the Work It Does.
There is a lady who has carried her
name into almost every household in the
United States by the works of her pen.
Everybody reads her writings, every
lady praises them and everybody humbly
confesses that the sentiments expressed
have done them good. The accom-
plished author is Mrs. Margaret Bot-
tome, president of the Order of the
King’s Daughters. Her style is simple
and pithy, but ornamented with attrac-
tive trinkets of language. She preaches
a monthly sermon in a very unsermon-
like manner. Perhaps the best tribute
to the excellence of her lectures is the
persistency of men to read them, despite
injunctions to the contrary.
On the morning of Jan. 13, 1886, a
company of ten women met at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Bottome, in New York
city, for the purpose of forming “An
outward union to embody the union of
spirit already born of God.” In the
language of Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson,
so well knoivn through verses from her
gifted pen and her connection with the
Shut In and other societies, “After
consideration of the good ‘to be gained
and the good to be done by binding
themselves together by a triple cord,
whose strands were faith, hope and love,
they decided to organize themselves into
an order, or sisterhood of service, hoping
by this closer union to increase their
usefulness many fold.” The name
chosen for the new order was The King’s
Daughters.
The badge decided upon was a rib-
bon of royal purple, to be worn with
or without the Maltese cross. At this
first meeting Mrs. Bottome was elected
president, and Mrs. Dickinson vice pres-
ident, and they still retain these re-
spective positions in the larger order of
the King’s Daughters and Sons. The
growth of the new society was marvel-
ous. Within a year its members num-
bered more than 60,000, although no ef-
fort was made to advertise the order or
its work. Never was less said by the
originators of any work. Yet from al-
most every state of the Union, and from
over the sea, come the questions as to
the significance of the new order, and
asking of its methods and purposes and
hopes, until today certainly not less
than 300,000 Sons and Daughters of the
King are pledged to service “in his
name.” There is nothing aggressive in
the order; it wages no warfare save
with sorrow or suffering. Its inner-
most thought is “to move silently and
steadily upon human hearts, doing its
blessed work with no herald and no
plaudit.”
The order was duly incorporated, and
with “In his name” as the watchword
the organization has gone forward in its
work.
Mrs. Bottome, the president, is the
dominant personality of the order. Her
“drawing room Bible readings,” which
had become a feature of Christian work
in “wicked” New York before the organ-
ization of the order, have so increased
iu interest that they are now given in
the hall of the Y. W. C. A. in that city.
It is no wonder the ladies of St. Louis,
and the King's Daughters especially, are
desirous to have her stop a few days in
this city on her way to the annual as-
sembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church. It is the custom every year to
have some prominent woman attend the
assembly and deliver an address.
They evidently think that there is
some truth in Hugo’s dictum that “the
Nineteenth century is woman’s cen-
tury,” even if the statement in its en-
tirety must be taken cum grano. Mrs.
Margaret Bottome and Miss Frances E.
Willard, president of the W. C. T. U.,
will attend the assembly this year,
which meet1 at Pertle Springs Aug. 24,
25, 26. Bot1 ladies have objection to
traveling on Sunday and their St. Louis
sisters hope to have them reach the city
about Aug. 19 and remain until Aug.
23. But if the ladies do not delay at St.
Louis the Ring’s Daughters of Missouri
will do honor to Mrs. Bottome at Pertle
Springs, for they have decided to hold
their first annual convention there coin-
cident with the assembly. The Cum-
berland Presbyterian church has a snm-
mer camp.rt Pertle Springs.—St. Louis

A Procession of Domestic Servants.
In connection with a proposal to form
a domestic servants’ union at West
Hartlepool, a novel demonstration took
place recer .ly in that town. A large
number of . oung women attired in neat
servants’ costumes walked in procession
through the streets carrying clothes
props, flat, ons, slop pails, dustpans,
brooms, scrubbing brushes, etc. The
procession created much amusement,
and was accompanied by large crowds
of people. The demands of the young
women are for shorter hours and a
weekly half holiday.—London Tit-Bits.
I know a little lady—such a very stately darnel ’
She’s queen of all the lassies, and Elizabeth’s
her name.
I also know a damsel made to romp with and
caress,
So I keep a welcome ready for my darling lit-
tle Bess.
And mother shows me working, just as quiet
as a mouse,
A pleasant little girl named Beth, the helper
of the house.
And sister shows me Lizzie, who goes with her
to school,
Who sometimes gets a lesson, and sometimes
breaks a rule.
I’m acquainted with another child I’d rather
never see,
For this young girl, named. Betsey, is as cross
as she can be.
Now, would you ever guess it? These five are
but the same
Kaleidoscopic lassie! And Elizabeth’s her
name.

Annie Pixley’s Embroidered Quilt.
Miss Annie Pixley, the actress, lives,
when in New York, in a charmingly
furnished flat, where she spends all her
spare time reading the newspapers, be-
ing, as she laughingly calls herself, a
regular newspaper fiend. She is fond
of talking to reporters and receives
them kindly, even going so far as to
say that were she not an actress she
would like to be a journalist.
“Why is it,” she asked me as I was
leaving, “that people have such a curi-
osity about actresses and their mode of
life? Come, I want to show you my
rooms so you can see for yourself how
we live, and you will find there is no
great difference between our homes and
those of people in general.” And she
led me through her pretty suite, which
ended with her sleeping room. A dainty
place it was, all furnished in blue, the
bed and pillows covered with a hand-
somely embroidered spread and shams
done by herself in her moments of lei-
sure.
Let me see if I can tell you about this
pretty quilt, as some time you might
like to make one somewhat similar. It
was formed of half a dozen strips of
wash net about twelve inches wide,
upon which was appliqued a flowing
floral design in Swiss muslin, held in
place by chain stitch embroidery done
with linen floss. These strips were
joined with an insertion of the wash
net slashed crosswise and buttonhole
stitched. Wide blue ribbon ran in and
out between the slashes. The large
sham of the same net was heavily em-
broidered around the edges, and three
initials about ten inches high were
worked in the center. Blue satin, lined
both sham and quilt.—Philadelphia
Press.
