Colonel William J. Hryan und ex-
governor .lamea S. Hog};, have
been spending a week hunting at
Lake Surprise. They returned to
Atisliu Monoav.
The fact that the cotton Mills at
Fall River, Mass., have raised the
wau«s «>f their employes from b to 10
per cent, says the News, "shows iiu
provemeut in the condition of llo
country."
'I lie Crockett Enterprise iHIb of a
genuine freak of nature seen on the
streets of Crockett—a steer with a
freak in the shape of a man's arm
and hand growing from its hack, and
the Enterprise says it is "no fish

Mr. Bailey it is said will protest
•gainst Geu. Wheeler holding two
positions—major general of volun

the same time, aud that he has made
a canvass of the democratic side and
recievcd promises of support from
nearly a hundred members.

all the success its excellent inert*

a splendid advertising patronage and
its tirst issue is very creditable in
editorial, local, selections and
mechanical skill.
Meridian Tribune: You will And
that ti conservative spirit manifested at
all times will bring you friends and
nerve your interests and objects.
You will not be considered oue oi
the "hot" people of the town, but
jou win « considered one Of the
level headed and safe men of the
town. If anyone ever made fyends
and became prosperous by cyclonic
performances on every occasion, the
world has uot been advised of it.—
Galveston News.
The Meridian Tribune and the
Galveston News never penned and
printed truer lines than the above.
A conservative spirit exerts an in-
fluence that the hot spirit can never
reach.
Clarksville News: John II. Mc-
Lean states in behalf of Admiral and
M ra. Dewey that if any of the con-
tributors to the Dewey house fund
want their money back they can get
it mighty quick. This ought to shut
them up. A man that gives a gift
with a string tied to it is a powerful
small part of a genuine man anyhow.
Very little is now heard of the
dastardly conduct of Dewey in giv-
ing bis home to bis wife that she
might give it to bis only child and
thereby relieve the property of her
dower rights, and all that. Here
and there an echo of the first scream
of anger at him for his act is heard,
but |t comes from some oue who has
not yet read of the quick way in
which the kickers took to their
boles.—Galveston News.
Nocona Post: The people ^ ill never
appreciate cotton mills in Texan until
they etudy the advaotageg that are of-
fered by these labor-giving enterprises.
A cotton mill In Nocona would give her
merchant® fit worth of trade to where
she gets fl now. Dalton, Ga., three
years ago had a population of ifOou. and
no cotton mill; now Dalton has two
mill* and 8000 population.
The first way to look at the cotton
mill question is that It will give em-
ployment to people who must have
employment or live off tbeir neigh-
bors. The people of a town by in-
vesting money in a labor giving fac-
tory are making money, because they
are saving that which they would in
one way or the other have to give to
relieve those who can not get work.
Any people can afford to advance
money, even without a profit, to give
work to honest women who can not
find employment. — Houston l'ost.

it was in small type and will possibly
uot be generally read we reproduce

his principal recommendations:
l'be Philippine island are ouis,
cannot be abandoned and their future
is with Congress.
Recomuiands the continuance of
the gold standard aud advises the
issuance of bonds to bolster it up ;
organization of national banks
with a capital of 125,000, currency
legislation that will iusure the con-
.inuauce oft licgold standard.
A trust fuud of gold holdings from
which greenbacks shall lie redeemed.
Increase of our merchant mariue.
Congressional investigation of
trusts supplemented by state in-
vestigation looking to the making of
laws to control combinations injur-
ious to public welfare.
Construction of Nicaraguan canal.
Appointment of a commission to
study the commercial aud industrial
conditions in the Chinese empire.
Jurisdiction of federal courts in
internatianal casef such as the lynch-
ing of foreigners where the ultimate
responsibility of the federal govern-
ment is involved.
Abolishment of all customs tariffs
between the United States and l'orto
Rico.
Independence of Cuba whenever
her people shall be able to govern
themselves.
Increase of the navy.
Pensions to widows of soldiers who
served ninety days or more during
the civil war and whose income aside
from the proceeds of daily labor is
not excess of per annum.
Increased appropriation for the
protection of forests.
The claim that Aguinaldo was
ever promised independence by any
officer of the United States in return
for his assistance is denied.
Return the Philippine peace com-
mission to further investigate the
form of government that shall be put
in operation.
Establishment of more permanent
governments for Porto Rico and
Alaska.
A cable to Manila.
Says the United States is at peace
on friendly terms with every
and
foreign nation, and that our relations
with Germany are most cordial.
That in the differences between
the liritish and Boers, America is
strictly neutral, but would have been
glad to have aided in adjusting the
differences.
Farming should be taught the
natives in our island possessions.
Recomends a court system at once
in Hawaii and needed laws for the
local goverment of Alaska.
Closes with a tribute to the mem-
ory of Washington.
The jury in the Carlisle case, tried
for murder at Dallas, stood ten for
murder in the first degree, with
death penalty ; one for murder in
second degree with 20 years penally,
and one for acquittal on plea of in-
sanity. Word was sent the judge
that they could not possibly come to
an agreement. He sent back word
they must agrea, and a compromise
was effected giving the accused ten
years. Such verdicts are breeders of
mob law.
A negro burglar was killed at
Waco, Sunday morning. He had
tried a door and a couple of windows,
and on raising the third window, was
shot in the forehead, the ball, a
Winchester, passing though his head,
killing him instantly. It is thought
this will place a check on burglurlz-
ing in Waco.

Texas seems to hp infested with a

A MOTHER'S GIFT-THE BIBLE
BY W. KKKdl'SON.
Remember, love, who gave thee this,
When other days shall come:
When she, who had thine earliest kiss,
Sleeps in her narrow home;
Remember, 'twas a mother gave
The gift to one she'd die to save.
That mother sought a pledge of love,
The holiest, for her son:
Aud from the gifts of God above
She chose a goodly one.
She chore for her beloved 1 oy
The source of light, and life, and joy.
And bade him keep the gift, that w hen
The parting should come,
They might have hope to meet again
In an eternal home.
She said his faith iu him would be
Sweet Incense to her memory.
And should the scoffer, in his pride,
Laugh that fond faith to scorn
And bid him cast the pledge aside,
That he from youth had borne,
She bade him pause, and a k his breast
If she or be hud loved him best.
■V parent's on bur -ou
Goes with this hc.ly tliing|
Tue love that would retain the one
Must to the other cling
Remember, 'tis no idle toy—
A mothers gift, remember boy.

for the opening of the Year 1900.
On January 1st, 1900, The Gal-
veston and Dallas News will issue a
special edition of the two papers,
devoted exclusively to an exhaustive
description of the general resources

pastoral and miueral development lo

boundaries of railroad construction

the industrious and intelligent set
tiers.

culation of at least 100,000 copies,
and may go considerably beyond that
number.

Mother and Babe
NONE but a mother knows the
pains, anguish and dread that a
woman endures before and during
childbirth. And still nearly all thi > suf-
fering is unnecessary. The faithful use of
MOTHER'S FRIEND
will in great measure overcome every
distressing symptom, and labor itself will
not be a very serious ordeal. Remember
that MOTHER'S FRIEND is an ex-
ternal liniment that softens and relaxes
the muscles, and is not a dangerous
compound of opiate to swallow. Ask
your druggist for it or send price to

enabled to buy at a very low llgurc. For
these reasons, as given above, we claim

good as they ever were, but can be
bought for half their lirst cost.

of new goods, the same we bought In
car lots for spotcash before the advance

market. See below a few prices given
