Tho drouth in Illinois is the
most distressing over known in
the history of tho State. Added
to distress of tho drouth is the
increased danger of prairie (Ires,
and the fears of the people are
greatly aroused.
"I bet my wholo stack on this

straight flush, which in some States
beats h—1, but they held a big full

high in my lifa, did you, Tom?"—
John Duncan,
Gov. Rosa and wife spent n few
days in Galveston week before
last; but his majesty was too busy
performing the duties of his oillce
to attend the Into Blue (liquor)
convention at Fort Worth on the
26th ultimo. Selah.—Canton Tel-
ephone.
Yes, Gov. Ross is a great and
goodmnn, but bo could not be intwo
places at one and tho same time.
However he "jiued " us "by lit-
ter" all the same.
Tho battle has been fought and
won-and it is the earnest hope of
our life that the bald-headed, tooth-
less, fossilized old snipe of the
Mineola Monitor will get in a good
humor with us.—Wills Point Pan-
tagraph.
Why, certainly, wo will get in a
good humor with the I'antagrapli.
In fact wo never felt any other
way, and after tho above high-
toned and gentlemanly allusion,
we can hardly wait for an oppor-
tunity to embrace and shake
hands. Wo wish the Pantograph
much success: If its editors con-
tinue to develop tho talent with
which nature has so bountifully
endowed them, as evidenced by
the abovo quoted paragraph, they
will yet rise to distinction and
fame. Wo hope some day to sec
tho talented paragrnplicr filling
the high position his genius merits,
lie will yet rise to bo a town alder-
man or perhaps a justice of the
peace. Van Zandt county should
show its appreciat ion of such pro-
gressive "kids." We arc certainly
not mad at you, boys. Did you
ever road tho fable of the gnat
and tho ox ? You can draw a
moral from it if you will.
Tyler. -
Tyler, Tex., August 8 —Dis
trict Court convened to day.
Judge MeCord, in delivering his
charge to the grand jury, called
their special attention to all the
penal laws enacted or amended by
tho last legislature and to illegal
voting reported to have occurred
here on the 4th. At the solici-
tation of the bar the criminal
docket was set for August L'!) and
the civil docket for September 15.
The business to come before this
court is comparatively small, and
it is thought it can be disposed of
in a much shorter time limn usual.
Uetweou now and the LMMIi instant
the court will be open for agreed
orders. Since the e^ 'Avv'sover
the great excitement, preeednrjplr
has abated. A spirit of more
friendliness has taken tho place of
tho antagonism, and while the
overwhelmed pros aftirm their
faith the old ulroct argumonts
which for several months have
been rife are condemned as chest-
nuts.

uccaat*^ -^ihaplet of
trlory. There is a divinity in our
sacrifices for a great principle,
higher than the applause of men
and more enduring than the emp-
ty jingle of sordid gold. It hov-
ers about the truth like angels
hover about the death-bed of the
Christian and when hard battles
for tho right have been fought
and won it can be said of the con-
quering hero, as ho brightens his
helmet for other battcfields, that
angels come and minister to him."
But lo, the awakening! It was
genuine philosophy on the part of
Bro. Cranlill to onjoy his "glad
satisfaction " on tho day before,
instead of postponing it until tho
day following tho cleotion. Tho
•'angels" that came and "minis-
tered " unto the " conquering

wore blue coats mid brass buttons
and were sent out by tho Western
Union and Baltimore and Ohio,
and whispered to the eager ears of

So dear Doctor, you need not
seek "other battlellcld's" just
yet. You still have a job on hand
here in Texas of "pulverizing"
more than equal to your limited
capacity.

A prohibition organ says, "the
combined strength of the gam-
blers, negroes, Dutch and Mexi-
cans was too inueh for the friends
of morality." This conies from
Austin, a city that beat prohibi-
tion by 700 majority. But in the
county outside of tho city the ma-
jority against prohibition was
over 000,showing that the "friends
of morality" arc no stronger

ers are presumed to have 110 in-

cal questions than any other class.
