the man about tows.
'The doctor is often superfluous, some-
times mischievious, and occasionally fa-
tal." 1 quote that. It isn't mine. As
everybody knows, medical men have
been from the earliest times, the target for
a crowd of arrows of the satiric sort We
find a Roman writer, Martial, comment-
ing thus upon a member of the medical
profession:
A doctor lately was a captain made-
It was a change of title, not of trade.
Everybody knows how Ben Jonson con-
gratulated himself upon escaping not only
from his disease but from bis doctor; and
equally familiar are the lines in which
Matthew Prior describes how, "cur'd yes-
terday" of bis disease, be "died tost
night"—of his physician 1
Now I do not reproduce these time-
dishonored taunts for the purpose of
giving them my sanction. I propose to
stand by the doctors. I have learned the
art of using mv doctor without letting
him use me. I pay him for his adyice
and his prescriptions, but use my own
judgment about taking bis remedies, be-
ing the best judge, as I think, of Nature's
energy in myself. Most of our ailments
proceed from work and worry, and the
doctor who sends us "out of town"—
away from the treadmill of every-day du-
ties and responsibilities—proves himself a
friend indeed.
I sincerely hope that the evening enter-
al Library Hall will Jbe resumed
this fall and winter. Readings, recita-
tions, music, bring us face jSo face with
oarbettter selves. I thintf the art of
tending and speaking to scarcely less de-
lightful than of music^M in some meas-
ure it combines the • ota of both music

stances crea*- imagination of the
poet bec~ painted as it were
iaktmmt—iij words,
which when rendered traly by tEe music
of the voice Seem to acquire a living, con-
scious existence. What a resource it
might be even to those who need not use
their abilities for gain, to cultivate to the
nlmost limit of its power the gift of
speech which belongs to most of us, and
to learn how to modulate and improve
the voice, which is bo wonderful and po-
tent a charm, especially in a woman.
Texas has evidently entered upon a sea-
son of prosperity. Not for fifteen years,
at least, has the outlook for the general
advancement of the State been so favora
ble. The rams have been ample to in-
sure good crops, railroad building is ac-
tive, factories are being established, and
an air of thrift is noticeable at every turn.
In tbe steady march of advancement Cen-
tral Texas takes the lead. It is fast in-
creasing in population and wealth, and
with the gradual breaking up of large
landed estates, and the division of the
country into farms, vineyards and or-
chards—small holdings for industrious
and intelligent people—the central conn
ties, especially Bell, will continue to at-
tract a large share of thfe most desirable
immigrants. Its agreeable climate, fer-
tile soil, beautiful scenery, and the ease
with which tbe industrious can here ac
quire all the comforts of life, are advan
tages sufficient to retain the prestige al-
leady acquired. We baye here in this
beautiful region all the elements required
for a most prosperous future. And the
commercial and social center of this hap-
py land is the city of Belton, a bright par
ticular star whose glory cannot be dimmed
or obscured. Belton is inseparable from
Bell County—the one comes to mind
whenever the other is referred to, so in
proportion as the county gains will be the
advancement of this city. And now I
come to the gist of what I started out to
say: It will not be becoming in the peo
pie of this city, neither will it be politic,to
wait without effort for the prosperity
that is knocking at our doors. It must
be welcomed, and to do that handsomely,
the city should be put in good order for
the reception of the constantly arriving
guests. The streets must be improved,the
. sidewalks sat in order, the fences repair-

be maintained, the schools encouraged,

A Difficult Operation.
Mr. C. T. Smith, a section boss on tbe
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway at
Troy, about last Thomlay, while at work
on tbe road with others, wax accidentally
struck on the head with a crow-bat, which
cut a gash some inch and a half long, and
down to the bine, but there was no frac-
tion of the skull. In the course of some
six hours, during which time he had been
removed to tbe section hou*e, he become
unconscious, and remained in that condi
tion until Monday, when his physicians
dtcl led to trephine, and on opening the
skull, coagulated blood was found, and
nearly an ounce was removed. When he
came from under the influence of the
" —*■ r—'T'1 that he ..had j$i
gained consciousness, and reports from
him yesterday were that ho was doing
well with prospects of recovery. The op
eration of trephining consists in the per
f>'ration of a bone by means of a small
cylindrical or circular saw, with a center
piu on which it works. It is practiced on
tbe skull in cases of fracture, when a por-
tion of the bone is depressed, producing
compression on the brain; and for effusion
of blood, or of inflammatory products, be-
tween the bones and membranes, or be-
tween the latter and tbe brain. The op-
eration is a very dangerous one, and ia
only applied as the last resource of sur-
gery in extreme cases.

BECAUSE any farmer or teamster buying a Mitchell Wagon gets more for his money and will be better satisfied than with any other Wagon.
BECAUSE the Mitchell Wagon is the strongest, most dnrable, best finished, best proportioned and lightest runuing wagon mvde.
Now, if you want a Wagon at all, you want the best. You cannot afford to buy anything else. Remember that first-class stock and good labor
cost more than poor stock and cheap labor, and don't buy a Wagon simply because it is cheap: it will cost you more in tbe end.
And buy your Wagon of WILSON & AUSTIN.

We have noticed within the last ten days many migratory wagons
upon the squarje in Belton. We interviewed much of this poverty on
wheels, which we found very communicative, and learned that a beautiful
mortgage left inn'the beautiful distance was the great propelling power,
moving toward fresher and greener fields. Surely the way of the trans-
gressor i3 hard ii. all lands and in all times. Of all the books we have
ever read we ha ve learned more from the reading of the Bible than all
others combined • There is a remarkable and momentous saying in that
prayer of pray ers, "Lead us not into temptation," and yet without
temptation the < -haractcr of man would be worthless. However, this is
drifting into mei aphysics, which will not do here.
We talked vith many of these poor, restless, migratory people, and
their side of the tory was indeed pitiful. The rains had washed them out,
and the grass ha covered them in, and the mortgage, like a cloud winged
with the darknec f night, had blotted out all hope, and the finite sank
into invinite des, of> ,l V*'T —
Well, let u "near the ring-tail merchant's side. W'e imagine we can
see him in the cj fistancc pulling his hair and raving loud and furious and
crying ou^for ' Bore law, and even a law of vengeance, by which he couffl
take hold of tl fese people and lock them into dungeons, and have them
sold to the highest bidder for hire, like penniless prisoners working out
fines for crimes.. Be claims to be a great philanthropist—helped them when
they could not bt,;lp themselves, fed them when they were hungry, clothed
them when they1 were naked, housed them when they were homeless.
Now, felloe-citizens, we peter right here. Make out the verdict to
suit yourselves^ We h^ve nothing more to say.
