HENDERSON, TEXAS.
Thursday, December '5, 1889.
Entered at the postofficc in Henderson,
Texas, as secondsclase mail matter.
& T. 1EXL2TEB ■ ■ ESITOB.
General Webster Flanagan is
baying cotton. He was in Crockett
last week.
Congress met at noon last Mon
day. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine,
was elected speaker.
Many of the republican senators
are preparing to make war on Har-
rison. The democratic senators will
help them.
It seems that the Keachi College
is financially embarrassed. Infla-
tion won't ^o, even in educational
institutions.
The astrologers predict that dis-
tress, panics, fires, and failures in
the money markets will occur the
latter part of this month.
Dur rich counties in West Texas
are overwhelmed in debt. The loan
agents and the banks have a death-
like grip upon them. After all,
East Texas, it seems, is in a better
condition than the rich prairies.
There is no better place than the
farm for a boy to graduate from.
There he will imbibe, almost uncon-
sciously, more practical ideas of life,
human nature and of nature general-
ly than from any other place. As a
rule our most successful and useful
men spent their early days on the
farm.—Hillsboro Reflector.
The Fort Worth Gazette has been
interviewing some prominent citi-
zens of Fort Worth to prove that
the man Fettus who was recently
killed in Brooklyn by a woman
whom he had ruined, was an exceed-
ingly nice fellow. It is inferred
from this that the woman whose life
he wrecked had no friends in Fort
Worth.—Hillsboro Reflector.
A wealthy citizen of Denyer, Col.,
gave an elegant residence to a newly
married daughter. Two lots adjoin-
ing it are his property. The young-
er daughter of the gentleman, upon
being spoken to about the fine pres-
ent to her sister, remarked: "Yes,
and we are going to put a sign on
the two adjoining lots with these
words on it: 'These lots go with
the other girl."'
Times are hard, money is scarce
and business is not altogether satis-
factory, but we must not give up.
This state of affairs is owing to shoit
crops for the last two years, and will
not always continue. Never before
have such failures been known, and
it is not reasonable to expect re-
peated failure. If we will continue
our work, better times will surely
come.—Mineola Monitor.
Don't say you have no hope for
better times in this section. It is
not reasonable to expect things to
continue always as they now are.
Only a few years ago almost every
inhabitant of portions of the state
now prosperous, wanted a home in
East Texas. Stay where you are,
if you are in a good place, and there
is no doubt that everything will yet
work out all right.—Mineola Moni-
tor.
More capital; more factories; more
farmers, who own their farms; fewer
large farms, more small ones; more
fruit farms; less cotton; more hog
and hominy; fewer long hornsf more
short horns; fewer notes and ac-
counts; more cash buyers; fewer
dudes; more honest laborers; fewer
parlor girls; more wash-tub maids;
fewer Sunday church members; more
eyery-day Godly christians; fewer
counter-hoppers; more sweat-stained
toilers; fewer kid glove loafers; more
brawny armed earners of bread.—
Ladonia News.
The job printers are getting out
now very nice blank mortgages. In
a little while they will be in the
hands of the merchants, all properly
signed up and -recorded, covering
crops to be planted and raised next
year. Will this thing never cease?
Certainly not until our farmers all
learn to make a living at home,
cease to live from hand to mouth,
and thus assert their independence.
—Tyler Democrat and Reporter.
We do not believe many farmers
in this section of the country will do
business that way the coming year.
Many are tired of being bondsmen
and will assert their independence.
It is strange indeed that in a coun-
try as productive as East Texas,
where most any crop that is planted
does well, that farmers would be-
come voluntary slaves. Let there
be a change for the better, com-
mencing with the new year.—Over-
ton Record.
Hon. Jeff Davis Improving,
New Orleans, La., Dec. 2.—If
there is any change in Mr. Jefferson
Davis' condition it is for the better.
The patient's extreme weakness
makes it a matter of difficulty for
)us physicians to- give any decided
opinion Mr. Davis fails to take
-sufficient nourishment to strengthen
him.
A J3ig Mortgage.
Topeka, Ks., Dec. 1.—A mort-
gage for 11150,000,000, payable in
100 years at 5 per cent, inferest, was
filed here to-day. The Union Trust
Company of New York holds the
mortgage on the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway Company
and auxiliary lines. The limit is
$5000 a mile on track, including all
real estate, ships, engines, cars, etc.,
owned by the railway. The plan of
the organization is also filed in con-
junction with the mortgage.
COVERED "WITH MORT-
GAGES.
The Financial Condition of
Kaufman County—Loan
Companies Have a Grip
on the State of Texas.
Kaufman, Tex.. Nov. 30.—The
following facts relative to the finan-
cial affairs of Kaufman county will
doubtless prove interesting, if not
profitable, to the reading public.
The statements are made upon in-
formation derived from county offi-
cials and other reliable sources, and
are believed to be substantially cor-
rect. Competent persons engaged
in loaning money here, think that
the loan companies have at least
$500,000 invested in this county se-
cured by deeds of trust on land. It
is further thought that one-third of
the land in the county (except home-
steads) is covered by liens for bor-
rowed money. There are five banks
in the county, whose aggregate an-
nual loans will amount to $300,000.
There have been filed in the county
clerk's office during the present year
2450 chattel mortgages, securing on
a reasonable estimate $100 each,
amounting to $245,000. The an-
nual state and county tax of the
county amounts to $65,000. Esti-
mating the interest on the above
loans and advances at 10 per cent,
per annum we. have the sum of
$104,500, which added to $65,000,
the state and county tax, amounts
to $169,500 annually paid out by
the people over and above their cur-
rent expenses of living. The above
calculation leaves out a bonded debt
of $89,000 owed by the county,
which luxury it is hoped but few
counties enjoy.
STORY OF THE WILD
WEST
And Fireside Ciaats.
By HON. W. F. CODY, ('Buffalo Bill.;
Buffalo Bill is the Napoleon of
American Scouts and Indian Fighters.
He is one of the greatest and most
versatile characters that - this
or any other country has ever pro-
duced. He has won brilliant success
and renown in all his undertakings.
He is not only the greatest American
frontiersman, but he is also an edu-
cated man. He is familiar with the
entire history of our country, and has
made a special study of the lives and
grand achievements of the great pion-
eers, whose deeds of daring liave won
the admiration and applause of the
whole world. He is better qualified
than any other man to write the great
standard history of American Pioneer
Life, for he helped to make that his-
tory, and his own adventures consti-
tute the most brilliant and thrilling
portions of it. His peculiar fitness
for the work that he has so success-
fully accomplished was justly recog-
nized by the Prince of Wales, Hon.
Wm. E. Gladstone, Hon. John Bright
and other distinguished Englishmen,
when they earnestly requested him
to wri4e the "Story of the Wild
West." In this request they were
joined by nearly every celebrated
General in the American Army, *who
knowing Buffalo Bill intimately,
knew that he was the man to write
this Grand History. It is .a book
that every American can feel proud
of. He not only tells of his own mar-
velous achievements, but all those of
his comrades and other great fron-
tiersmen, including the thrilling
story of the Custer Massacre, General
Crook's campaign and a thousand of
other exciting incidents, and lastly, a
description of his wonderful career
and success in exhibiting his "Wild
West Show" among the Crown Heads
of all Europe. Buffalo Bill's pen is
as vigorous as his rifle was unerring,
and his book will remain forever the
great standard history of*pioneer'life
in America and should receive a glad
welcome in the home of every true
and patriotic American. This great
historical book contains over seven
hundred pages and nearly three hun-
dred spirited engravings. The well-
known publishers, The History Co.,
723 Market St., San Francisco, CaL,
are the authorized General Agents.
Agents and parties who desire to sell
this book can secure an agency and
liberal terms by addressing the His-
tory Company. We call the atten-
tion to the advertisement in another
column.
How Mr. C. A. Buckingham
Hits the Nail.
C. A. Buckingham, night clerk of
the United States Express Company,
when asked to make up a purse for
the purpose of buying some tickets in
the Louisiana State Lottery refused,
but concluded that he would try his
luck, and sent, §2, and received in re-
turn two one-twentieth tickets. One
of these was one twentieth of ticket
No 69,159, which drew the third cap-
ital prize of §50,000. He forwarded
his ticket to the Louisiana State Lot-
tery Company and received in return
$2,500 in hard cash.—Chattanooga
(Tenn.) Times, Oct. 1.
Col. W. H. Crawford.
Col. W. H. Crawford died at his
home, in Linn Flat, Nacogdoches
county, Nov. 19th, of heart disease.
A true delineation of his life would
be fraught with profound interest.
In the morning of the present cen-
tury, March 7, 1808, in Columbia
county, Georgia, he was born. At
an early age he was left without
father or mother, to figbt the hard
battles of life alone, but nature had
given him an undaunted will; he was
proud; he possessed an ambition that
was the admiration of the chivalrous
and brave men of that period. He
was, indeed, equal to the hardships
and obstacles incident to orphanage
and poyerty. He went to school
but little, yet he grew to manhood
with a cultured intellect and a mind
stored with useful knowledge. He
was over six feet high and during
his early manhood his broad frame
"tvas erect, and he was noted for his
yigor and strength. On the held of
muster he rose from the ranks of a
private to the commander of a
brigade, and on field days, he was
frequently a competitor of Lewis T.
Wig fall.
In 1840 he moved to Louisiana
where he engaged in agriculture, and
during his residence there accumu-
lated a vast amount of property;
was foremost in building churches
and schools; became prominent in
politics, and was honored with the
office of representative to the legis-
lature oi his State.
He refugeed to Texas in 1868;
lived for several years at Linn Flat;
moved from there to Mt. Enterprise,
at which place he lived until last
fall, when he moved back to Linn
Flat, spending the remainder of his
days there. The war robbed him of
his wealth. His health soon became
impaired, and for the last several
years his physical constitution was
almost a wreck. In many respects
he was indeed a most remarkable
man. *IIis honor and integrity were
of the most exalted type. He was
naturally religious, and during his
entire life was a close student of the
Bible. He believed in the mercy,
wisdom and goodness of God with a
zeal rarely to be met with among
men. When he prayed his nund
and soul would be swallowed up in
gratefulness and homage to his
Creator. Hypocrisy and dissimula-
tion were as far removed from
him as the east is from the west.
He despised deceit and false pre-
tences and entertained a profound
contempt for the coward of eyery
character. He belieyed in the uni-
yersal love of God and the eternal
salvation of all men. His favorite
text was: "If the truth makes you
free, you are free indeed," and by
this principle he lived. He believed
that man should do right for the
sake of light, and that the Creator
designed the conscience as a guide
—that it enables one to discover the
moral quality of actions. That it is
a source of pleasure when we have
done right, and pain when wrong
has been committed. No one be-
lieved stronger than he in the ade-
quate punishment of every sin com-
mitted, but the doctrine of eternal
punishment he believed to be a relic
of barbarism. Whatever may be
Saul of his faith by the sticklers of
orthodoxy, he was, indeed, an hon-
est man, a pious christian, an intelli-
gent and useful citizen, a devoted
husband, a kind and lcyving father.
There are perhaps some who despise
his religious doctrine who would do
well to imitate his noble, character,
his exalted manhood, his love of
humanity, his charity—his pure life.
The writer hereof knew him almost
as a dutiful son knows his father,
and in viewing his character we see
as much to admire and as little to
condemn as in the life of any man
with whom we have ever been as
intimately acquainted.
Col. Kilgore left for Washington
last Wednesday. We have never!
seen any one who dreaded separa- !
tion from his fcimily more intensely j
than he did. The afflictions through !
which they have passed have united j
them more closely, if possible, in
feeling and sympathy, The Col, |
leaves with a sad heart, feeling all

parent for the sick son he leaves be- i

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood's Sarsjparilla do not be induced to take
any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.
A Boston lady who knew what she wanted,
and whose example is worthy imitation, tells
her experience below:
To Get
" In one store where I went to buy Hood's
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood's; he told me tlieir's
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
days' trial; that if I did not like il I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I knew what
Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
Hood's
When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
I was feeling *real miserable, suffering
a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak
that at times I could hardly stand. I looked,
and had for some time, like a person in con-
sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it." Mrs.
Ella A. tiorr, 61 Terrace Street, Boston.
