Resolutions of Thanks.
Bofore closing the Normal Institute for
the season of 1888 the teachers adopted the
following resolutions of thanks to the citi-
zens of San Marcos and manager of the
Texas Chantauqua Assembly:
Whereat The people of San Maroos and
and the managers of the Texas Chautauqua
have manifested a deep interest in the wel-
fare and oorafort of the teaohera of the
Summer Normal; therefor be it
Iiuoh.'d That we the teachers in school
assembled extend to the citizens our sincere
thanks for their hospitality.
That our thanks are extended to tbe man-
agers for their provision of able iuatrnctors.

Speaking of cotton orops there is obvi.
onsly no advantage in larger ones than can
be gathered. In 1882 tbe surplus left in
the fields was estimated as being greater
than the entire orop for the next year or
two.
A frieud residine on Ban Antonio street
complains of sickening odors from the priv
ies. We saw a proclamation sometime
since ordering them cleaned up "immedi
ately if not loouor." We hope all the foroe
was not spent ia issuing the proclamation.
At Huntsville they have bogun a large
new publio school buildiug to be complet
ed bv Nov. 1st. and the opening of the
schools will be deferred to tbat time. By
prompt action we might have had a new
building here in time foj the next term.
It must be obvious to every one there is
a great deficiency of shade about the pub

and teams. A row of bois d'nrcs should be

yard.

A much smaller aotton crop than was

which is assured a half crop of cotton will
be as good or better than a full one without

We copy elsewhere an editorial from th
Autln Statesman ou our Chautauqua part
ly as giving just ordlt for th sbureof Ana-
tin poonle In the success of tbe UUeesaaion
and partly a indicating a spirit of friend-
ship and co-operation on th part of Austin
with th enterprise her. Tb concluding
suggestions of tb Statesmau are to th
poiut. Austin regard this a th proper
place for tb location of the Texas Chautau-
qua aud regard It as near euougn to war-
raut that city In active co-operation for it
suocess. The fact I that tbe Chautauqua
at Ban Maroos may he aooepted br Austin
and Han Antonio as their enterprise as well
a ours. Tbia I especially true of Austin
and In accordance with th Statesman's
mggestious we see no reason why she
should not be found literally as well a fig-
nreatively taking stock in it.. For suoh a
purpose aud others similar we predict th
time is coming when through swifter tr.in-
it and reduoed fare San Marco will be re-
garded by Austin a one of her most at-
tractive suburbs.

Tlint naratrmuh of our California letter of
InHt week which reports Mosher Gladue and
Kichardson as still "in oahoot" in tbat dis
tant land will be suggestive here in Ban
Marcos. Who that knows them cannot
fancy them cracking their jokes as of old
and indulging in reminiscence of the old
borne? Add tbe grape and other luscious
fruits and we fear tbey will be fonnd going
r tlipr a'ow. We hei r ihat M. and B a to sti 1
hgnre in church and Sunday school ohoirs
as of old.
On thing puzzle ns about most of th
California emigrants from this place and
that is their keeping so exceedinnly "shady"
since tbeir departure not letting thoir
friends hear from tbeui. 'Tis said tbat "out
of tbe abundance of the heart tbe mouth
speaketh" and hence tbia singular sileuc
seems to na rather ominous. Thry do not
evsn seam to want to hear from Han Mar-
cos. Among them are some old subsi riber
to th Fan Pkess. who bav allowed it to
stop (w trust not on account of some no-
paid dne on it ) On the whole we gness
th great question with "the departed" is
"Are we jolly or are we not?"

Thar has been an epidetuio of fever
through here which ha laid up for a fw
days at least ou or more members of near-
y every family and now Dr. Pound 1
down with it. H says it is th first tim
in 30 year that fever ha bad him by th
heel. He pronouuee it first cousin to

"This ia hard weather on the fanner" a

The party men were at the front again

What is Debris kicking at the candidate
about? If a man cannot get the regular
nomination is that any reason why he
should not get the nomluation by some oon-
convention. if he can? In suoh case he can
not expect t J be supported by the party (he
should not at least) but be may be elected
if he is agood man euongh to command a
popular vote. Agitate every question
brethren. Don't take It tor granted that
tbe convention nominated tho right man.
The day when a man cast his vote for the
party tioket bos goue by. We are begin-
ning to yote for men not name competency
not partisanship. And we will keep it up
until an incompetent or untrustworthy man
will not want to put his name before the
voters with a view to bo elected to any of-
fice. Lot the candidates who have the back-
bone and can ask tho peoplo to vote for
thorn cut loose from the "machine" end
oome out boldly on their own merits aud
they will if good men stand a fair chance
of being elected this fall.
Volume I. Number 1 of the Travis Coun-
ty Independent is out and aiks a fair show-

will soon fail
As to Mr. Ghissoock running independent
and how it will effect bis reputation that
depends upon what be owes tbe democratic

' Cleveland nnd Thurman Club.
Judge Cook addressed a meeting of citi
zens at the court house on Saturday even-
ing 4th Inst. The speech was characteris
tic of "Gus Cooke" and was frequently
cheered.
After the speech Mr. J. V Hutchins
moved tbe organization of a Cloveland and
Thurman Club. The motion was oarried
and S. B. MoBrido was mode chairman and
E. P. Uaynolda made seorotary of tho pri-
mary organization.
Mr. Hutohins moved that parties wishing
to join give thoir names to the secretary.
About 70 names were enrolled nnd upon
motion of Mr. Hutchins the organization
wag made permanent with B. B. McBride
as chairman and E. P. Raynolds secretary.
Moved by Mr. Hutchins with amendment
bv Mr. Barber that the chair appoint a
committee of fire gentlemen to enlist mem
bers for the club.
The chair appointed the committee and
Mr. Barber's name was added.
On motion of Mr. Barber Saturday night
18th inst. was appointed for the next meet
ing of tbe club.
On motion of Mr McGehee the chair
was empowered to call the clnb together at
such times and for such purposes as he may
deem proper.
On motion of Judge Wood tbe thanks of
the meeting wore extended to Judge Cook.
At the next meeting of the Club the or-
ganization will be further perfected by the
appointment of committees eto.

Capt Kyle and other worthies were present.
Coanty candidate and lobster noses wore
prominent all day. Each oommunity of the
county wss well represented also several
other counties.
Camp mooting is now in progress.
We consider tbat Judge Terrell' second
speech waa a direct insult to every prohibi-
tionist every Aliiance man and every re.
publican present.
It is a strange affair that In this coanty
there are one thousand prohibition voters
five hundred Alliance men and at least fivs

Pattern gown already braided are won-

for tb price.
The accordion pleated skirt that open or
shuts with each step of th wearer Is much
liked fur tbe new mohair stuffs.
Simple woolen mantle are trimmed down
the front and around th neck with a knife
pleating of silk of th same color.
Tbe useful Mouse waists are uow made In
blue or pink as well as snu-lot surah and
worn witn lace surta ror tb nouaa
Many long loop of ribbon falling from
the throat and caught iu at the waist ar
supposed to give stylo to cotton morning
gowns.
Rouge Snnglior otherwise "pig's blood"
a new vivid red ia often combined with the
bluo gray "wood smoke" brought out this
spring.
Heaven be pralsodl Tbe effort ot certain
IU conditioned designers to have street gown
made a bare dragging length ia coldly un-
uccoawui.
Word come from Pari that aatln I again

Ing gowns a well as for tho costume of
very young uriaes.
A calla of white translucent enamol with
golden heart and a diamond dewdrop I th
newest fl wer brooch as well a far and away
tbe handsomest of the season
Overskirts are not cut In set fashion any
more drapery being obtained by tacking the
breadths of tbe gown to the foundation quite
at last" caprice or convenience.
Striped plush is threatened for next win-
ter's cloaks but we still Indulge a lively hope
that those in authority will experience a
change or heart pelore tbat time.
A waist and drapery of the best camel's
hair or Henrietta draped above a skirt of
moire or corded silk makes a comblnattai
gown as serviceable as It is stylish.
A knowing one says that to make the close
sleeve worn with tbe empire govrn th
proper "wrinkle" is to use a stocking for lin-
ing and cut tbe outside some six inches
longer.
The blouse bodice now so much to the fore
Is not much but a yoke with a fullrufflo
sewed upon it tbo ruffle long enough to come
six inches below the belt in front four on the
hips and five behind.
Jacket of white cloth or serge plain or
braided with silk or gold will be worn as the
season advances but must be made of tbe
best cloth and well cut or they are dowdy
and common looking beyond expression.
Big aprons of spotted cream mull lace
edged and finished with a sash of pongee or
moire are worn at breakfast or tea time by
fashionable young women and are simply
too fetching for anything. Now York Com-

FASHIONS FOR MEN.
Ribbed cashmere underwear will be the
"popular and sons! hie" later along.
It is again admissible to knot a Windsor
through a finger ring or special brooch for
that purpose.
There are more custom shirtmakers and
lota coll for custom shirts In this country
than ever before.
Silk embroidered cotton neckwear will be
Rwellcr this summer than most people think
at present writing.
A hint is given by some fashion makers
that high cut vests will be as prevalent again
next winter as two years ago.
The fancy flannel shirt cut liko the linen
dress article with bosom and cuffs is grow-
ing in fa vor as the most comfortable garment
of its kind ever put on the market.
A year ago thorp was but one house In the
country engaged in the exclusive manufact-
ure of flue night dress. Now nearly every
shirt bouse ho its special "slumberwear" de-
partment and a healthy competition has
set in.
The latest fad in percale shirts is in com-
bination of stripes and small figures. The
latter are placed between the stripes on
them when they aro brood and all sorts of
other ways when they ain't. There is room
for much ingenuity.
Almost every known fabrlo of a light or
diaphanous nature has boon pressed into tbe
manufacture of the popular flowing aproned
scarf that is providing tbe pattern and
weave are attractive. Even tbe rnorry little
band bow has caught the popular infection
and gracefully falls into line.
All doubt upon tho question of collar vs.
shirt that may-yet exist may be removed by
our empbatio assertion that none but pure
white collars will be permissible to be worn
with any shirt irresjiective of tbe lalter's
color. In localities whore this rulo is no)

The Reason Why
Ayer's Pill are so popular is that
while always reliable as a cat bar tio
medicine they never leave any ill
effects. This Is because they are purely
vegetable and entirely free from calo.
ini'l or any other dungerous drug. Iu
all l u.i'H ihrrufuro whether the patient
lm I'M or young they may bo conlU
dcutly administered.
In the Southern and Wostorn States
where tlorangemrnts of tho llvor are so
general Ayor's 11 lis have proved nil In-
osllmublo blowing. 1). W. Bnlne New
Iterue N. C writes :
" I suffered a lung time with stomach
and liver troiiluV. I tried various reuw .
cdles but received no benefit until 1
commenced taking Ayer' Pills. These
pills txmutltod me at once. I took them
regularly for a few months aud my
health was completely restored."
Throughout New England next to
lung diseases Stomach and Bowel
Complaint are tho most prevalent.
Dyspepsia
and Constipation ace ahuost universal.
Mr. Gullaoher a practical .chemist of
Hoxbury Mass. who was long .troubled
with Dyapepala writes
" A friend Induced me i Aver'
Pills and after taking one box without
much lxinotlt I was disposed to quit
theiu; but he urged perseverance and
before I had finished the second box I
begun to experience relief. 1 continued
tuklug tbeiu at intervals until 1 bad
used elevon boxes. Bodice It to say.
that I am now a well man und grateful
to your chemistry which outstrips
mine."
The head and stomach are always in
sympathy J hence the cause of most of
those distressing headaches to which
so many especially women are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble of Poughkeep.
sie N. V. writes that for yenra she wa
a martyr to headache anil never found
imything to give her more tbun tem-
porary relief until she began taking
Ayer's Pills since which she has been
iu the enjoyment of perfect health.
