form your work. Let me thank you Slate r

cousins write such nice letters. There is a
Wboei store two miles north of here. Pa

reader of your paper for two years, I will

1 think the Alliance a very good thing if it
was carried on right. 1 am not a member,
hut my fatlmr is. We havo a co-opporat-
iva store in Columbus which is doing good
businoss.
Mrs. A. P. Shaw, I agree with you, I
think the ladles should sell eggs and but-
ler to help keep out ot debt as much as
possible, so tbo farmers oould form a trust
on their cotton, as the coffee dealers do on
their coffee.

A PICKEREL 8TORY.
to Waaderfol That tha Two Men Vha
Know It's True Don't Dare Tejl It.
Of all the numerous guide and oarsman at
Greenwood !ako, Young Tom Uarrison is one
of the moat industrious ami the most patient
under misfortunes and adverse cirounirtauoea.
Tom never has been lucky for himself. He
has had a "bad leg" for several years, and
latfc summer bis grandfather died and left
$0,000 to Tom's younger brother, locally
know o o "Snapper," since tha Jockoy of that
name became famous.
Tom struggled through lost aeaoon with hit
bad leg Incased in six yards of elastic rubber,
and did not mako much money because the
season was short and the fishing rather un-
satisfactory, for wlmt reason nobody know .
Iu previous years Tom was enabled to muk«
considerable money by piloting unsuspecting
anglers to a little lake ou top of tho mount-
ain, induciug them to tramp there with him
by means of the alluring etory that the lake
was so full of bass that another oue could
not be put in without two boiug crowded out
on shore. The crop of the atrangors was not
large Inst year, and the story had become too
tbraudbare for tbo frequent visitors.
I .ate luit fall Tom aud Frank Hiizen went
out after rabbits. A singlo shot from Hozen'i
gun glanced from a stouo and put out Tom'i
right ey*. This was tho worst luck Tom ever
had, worse even than missing n share of bit
grandfather's inheritance; but it did not pre-
vent him being one of tbe most skilful oars-
uion and anglers at the lake. Ho procured a
perfoct counterpart of his good oyo in glass,
and, while It was a hollow sham for ull prao-
tical optical use, it certainly served the out-
wurd purposes of tbe eye be lost in tbo woods,
and if it had not beou for tbe fact tbut the
glass eye was prone to woep at all times and
was constantly suffused, Tom would not have
minded it much. It was a hollow shell of
cunningly blown and colored glass, and bo-
havod well, Inasmuch as it stayed straight in
its socket and did uot inuko him appear ridicu-
lous by trylug to turn into the corners. Tom,
while out fishing a few weeks ago, took bis
eye out to wash it in tho lake, and as ho was
nibbing it between his thumb and forefinger
it popped out of his hand and fell in twelve
feet of water. Tom spent two hours looking
for it, and was finally compelled to sadly turn
away and contemplate the necessity of spend-
ing a large sum for a now eye.
A day or two later he took Charles Mock-
ridge, of Soho, out after pickerel, and they
caught 113 fair sized fish before turning the
bow of tho boat toward tha Lakeside hotel
When they landed at tho wharf Tom called
Mi'. Do Graw'a attention to the fact that he
bad recovered bis eye ami was wearing it.
"How did you got it?" asked Do ("¡raw, and
right thoro Tom becamo silent. Since then
ho has said that rather than lose the respect
of his patrons, who havo always believed
what he said, ho would never tell bow ho re-
covered tho eye. Among the fish which he
displayed was the largest pickerel that ha*
been caught in Greonwood lake in several
years. It was a six pounder and had only
ouo eye, tho other having evidently been
eaten out by the deadly "eye pinchor," as tho
guide call a sort of water beetle which at-
tacks tho oyes of all fishes In the lake. Mr.
Mockridge was almost at reticent as Tom,
but he admitted that tho recovery of tho eye
was no singular that he would not have bo-
liored it if ho had not witnessed it. He
finally and reluctantly said—it was as much
as he darod say at the time—that the eye was
di sorgetl the ilsh well of tho boa« by the
big pickerel. Afterward, however, In a
moment of confidence, be told a Newark
friend that when tho big pickerel was pulled
in it wore in its vacant eye socket the glass
eye which Garrison dropped overboard o
day or two boforo. He now absolutely re-
fuses to say auything about tho matter, but
ho has tho dried head of the pichel and
Tom Garrison has tbo glass «yo.—Warwick

At Ironton I bad a briof lofrvlpvt With a
patriarch now verging on his 80th year, Mr.
John Campboll, long identified with the de-
velopment of tho iron industry' of this local-
ity. In my entire tour I had scarcely met
with another of such grand patriarchial pres-
ence; of great stature and singular benig-
nancy of expression, ho made me think of
George Washington; this was increased whon
ho told rao he was from Virginia Ho is from
that stroug Scotch-Irish Presbyterian stock

Jackson, John C. Calhoun, tbe Alexanders o(

ancestors drifted down from Pennsylvania
about 1"i0 years ago and settled in the beauti-
ful Shenandoah valley about Augusta and

of Eastern Virginia largely deserted their

churches thoro today attest, and fol-

ers called tbom, from tho loins of tho old
Scotch Covenanters, were a strong reliance of

'Winchester Kelllo's" Exploits.
Santa Clara camp abounds in >etrongly
marked Individualities and notable life his-
tories. Ono of tho most striking figures here
is that of u tall, graceful girl, known as "Win-
chester Nellie," from the remarkable ability
with which she handles a Winchester rifle,
being by all odds tho bost shot with that
woapon in camp. There is a mystery about
Nell that nobody has yet been able to fathom.
She is, apparently, about 38 years of age,
aud she givos ber name as Nellie Smith; but
when questioned as to her former homo, her
antecedents and the whereabouts of her pa-
rents she resolutely declines to answer. She
has staked off a claim, and is working It with
excellent results. She has tlie ros poet of every
man in camp, and is made a friend und com-
panion by all the beet women. Thore Is not a
miner here who would dare to offer tha
slightest familiarity to Nell, for there Is an
indescribable something in ber manner which
tells one instinctively that it would be dan-
gerous to prosume upon its frank cordiality.

A Story of Tolstoi.
Count Leon Tolstoi was taking a walk in
Moscow, when be taw a policeman struggling
with a moujik. Tha policeman got the best
of it, and when tbe moujik was laid out iu
the mud, Tolstoi rushed up, pushed the goro-
dovoi away, helped tbo moujik up, and turn-
ing back ou the policeman, asked: "Canst
thou read, my friendI" "I should think so."
"Well, hast thou read the Holy GospelP
"Yes, I have." "Well, how dare you forget
that it forbids a man to strike hit neighborf'
The policeman hesitated a minute, and then
collaring tho moujik said to tha celebrated
novelist! "And you, do you know how to
read!" "Yes," said Count Tolstoi. "Read
the polioe regulationst" "No." "Wall, than,"
continued tho policeman, as he formod the
prix-esslon low ardí tbe station, "just go home
and read them before going about in tha
streets Interfering with people."—Cor. Kaw

Editor Mkrcurt:—We have been or-
ganized about three yeart, and we have
our upt and downi just aa other Alliances
have. We are ttili working right along in
harmony. It it true that tome of our mem*
bore have been dropped lor the nonpay-
ment of dues but we have a good, ttrong
Alliance yet, and they are true bluet. Our
Alliance Js iujjood spirltt over the bagging
trust butt. I see so many asking for lec-
turers. 1 think if they would tend one
dollar and get twelve monthe supply o f
Mercury and use it It directed, it wonld
bo much cheaper and then they would get
it In broken dotet regular and give them
time to think and act lor themielvet and
not i ely altogether on otbert. Bead your
paper and locture for yourself. Mr. Editor, i
think if we would work more ourselves
and quit waiting for some one else to do
our worfc, we would do better off. At long
at wa wait in that way we will tuck the
back teat, to let every Alllanoe man make
a lecturer of hlmtelf. 1 may be wrong in
my viewt but 1 don't believe a man can be
a good, true Alllanoe man unlet! he readt
tbe greateit of all papert, Tub Mercury.
We have got to read and ttudy to work in
unity. You mutt not only read your pa.
per but attend your Alliance regular and
try to arouse all the lntereat you can while
there. My Alliance hat adopted a rule of
appointing a member at each meeting to
viiit sitter Alliances and to solloit visitors
to our Alllanoe, to at to get more in unity
with each other. I will dote with belt
withet to The Mercury.

There It a most wondorlul poplar tree
growing just beyond Suarp Top Mountain,
inPlckent county, Georgia, a few miles
from Jasper. Those who have ceen this
tree tell us that it has two trunks, both
perfectly developed and standing two or
three feet apart at their bases, and look ex-
actly like two stuooth straight poplar trees'
At a height of thirty or forty feet these
two trees come together and form one per.
feet body, from where they join to the top.
It is an undecidod question as to the cause
of this freak. From the symmetrical pro-
portions of the two bodies from the ground
to the fork, and of the one body from tbe
fork to the top, one would almost think
that when the two treet were saplings they
became joined together and made one. In
what other way could It have happened?—

What a Han With a Will Can do.
Professionally, in all the departments of
medicine, Dr. A. P. Davis stands, perhaps,
without a rival in our country, not only in
the general praotice of medicine, and suro-
ly has not an equal In this state, when it
comes to tho treatment of eye affections.
His dexterity with Instruments, in per-
forming surgical operations on eyes, is truly
wonderlul, knowing his own ability, and
being naturally endowed with extraordi-
nary qualifications as an eye Burgeon, pos-
sessing a large perception, and farsighted-
ness being characteristic, and having per-
lect control of his nervous forces, he stands
without a rival in tbe performance of those
delicate operations on eyes that almost in-
variably proves successful. The removal
of cataracts being the capital operation in
surgery, is dono aB dextrously by him as
any operator ever did or can do; and all
other operations, equally as Bcienllllcally
and successfully.
The numerous encomiums passed upon
Dr. Davis, by the press, are evidence of
the appreciation of the people who have
been the recipients of hit wonderful skill.
Tbo afflicted thould not hesitate to avail
themselves ofseouring the tervicet of this
noted specialist.
Every disease pertaining to the eye, ear,
nose and throat, medicinally and surgically,
receive hit tpeclal attention, and you
should not fail to consult him whenever
you have opportunity. His home office is,
000 Elm street, Dallas, Texas. Visits made
to perform operations on eyes, at the homos
of patients, when desired. Will be in
Denton from June Srd to 10th ; will be in
Cleburne from June 12th to 18th.
