iciA^ 1876
HOOD COUNTY—A little child was bitten
by a rattlesnake, but under the ireitffieui of
Dr. Hanna, was rapidly relieved. It is as
well to mention that indigo moistened to a
thick paste and applied to the wound is very
effective in neutralizing the poison.
GAINESVILLE—Professor Alderson of the
Gainesville High School expelled two young
men from his school because they ac-
companied two young ladies to attend the
meeting of a mite society.
BELL COUNTY—Farm laborers are worth
from $8 to $15 per month, with board;
mechanics, from $2 to $2.50 per day, and
some as high as $3 and $4 per day.
BRENHAM—Capt. McNeUy is considering
retirement from the service because it is
impossible to accomplish any good results
in protecting the border area with the small
force placed at his disposal. He estimates it
would take 400 or 500 men to keep the
Mexican marauders at home. At present
there is very little stealing going on, from
the fact that the marauders have stolen
everything in sight.
GALVESTON—The "Daily News" editor
suggests placing small signs or slips of tin,
bearing the names of intersecting streets,
on the lamp-posts of our city. Hardly
anything of more practical value to the
general public, to strangers especially,
could be suggested. Not a day passes
without great numbers of people asking the
names of our most familiar streets.
AUSTIN—The House has passed a bill
giving sheriffs increased power in ap-
prehending criminals. Among its provisions
is one that would allow the shooting of
persons pursued by the law. Repeated at-
tempts to pass the State Detective Force bill
have failed.
CASTROVILLE—Postal delivery on the
lower Medina and Frio is done at night; love
letters reading "leave the country in twenty
days!" are left at the residences of some of
the stockmen of that section.
BASTROP—The highest estimate placed
upon corn this fall in Bastrop County is from
25 to 30 cents a bushel and for cash now, any
amount could be engaged at the former
price.
GALVESTON—The distance from
Texarkana to Paris is estimated at 95 miles.
Track - laying is being vigorously
prosecuted at each end of the line, at the
rate of a mile and a half each day, or three
miles a day altogether. By the first of
September the road will be finished and the
cars running over it.
ADVERTISEMENTS—Mind Reading,
Psychomancy, Fascination, Soul Char-
ming, Mesmerisms, and Marriage Guide,
showing how either sex may fascinate and
gain the love and affection of any person
they choose instantly; 400 pages. By mail,
50 cents. Hunt, Co., Philadelphia.

How To Lose Up To 3% Miles Per Gallon
This past weekend I dis-
covered something that ts too
good to keep to oneself! A
neighbor who is a pretty
savvy mechanic on weekends
has for the past month or
more been diligently tuning
and re-tuning his car.
He overhauled the carbu-
retor two weeks ago. all in an
effort to improve his miles-
per-gailon. Saturday he was at
it again.
"Don," he said, "I know
this (blankety-blank) bus will
do better than 11 miles per
gallon. When it was new it
gave me 14.5. With 69,000
miles on it, it shouldn't be
worn out yet. should it?"
I replied that I didn't
think so. Mine has more than
twice that many miles on it
and it still runs as sweet and
good as it did when new.
Maybe even a little better!
When he related all he had
done and how he had done it,
I could find no fault with
anything and was at a loss to
advise him what to do next.
Then, 1 happened to be be-
hind his wife as we were leav-
ing the subdivision later that
afternoon. Besides having a
lead foot, I perceived as she
pulled out onto the main
road that a large amount of
gasoline ran out the rear of
the car, dripping off the end
of the bumper a& she hauled

it onto the thoroughfare.
"O-ho," I said to myself, "so
that's it!"
Making a one-eighty. I
found my good neighbor
grimly cleaning up after his
latest onslaught at the gaso-
line bill. "Hey, Bob," I hail-
ed. "When did you last put a
new gasoline cap on your gas
tank"*"
He thought a minute and
estimated about a couple of
years ago when he had lost
one on vacation
"Well, 1 think that's where
your gasoline is going," I said.
"It doesn't fit too well" and I
recounted what I had seen.
"Cripes," said Bob "I nev-
er even thought of that."
Now we will see if a new
gasoline cap for a guy who ha-
bitually fills up the top half
of his tank is good for 3V4
miles per pllon!
