Then there will be homilies and

tUiose whose neighbors and I kin -

tt5on and sufferer. Naturally
j the -question arises : Why did not
itlQ old time negroes violate white
"''women and ohildren? The only
"' possible answer is that the old
time negroes were not tutored by
theorists and fanatics. They
were not taught that nature had
ade them the equal of superior
'of wlStfe fblks. On the contrary
- . tfoer were taught and believed
,l,ihe truth, that the Creator made
"wa indelible distinction and did
'r not purpose that the laws of crea-

"iSSe earth should be populated by

It seems probable there may bo a
meeting held hero before 16ng
with roforonco to tho matter of the
I & G N. railway building its lino
from here to Georgetown, whore
connection would be made with
tho tap from Round Rock and a
tho latter point with tho main lino
One railroad man suggests that
this could bo appropriately called
tho Big Four," in caso it should
be constructed, as it would link
four of the chief cities of Texas in
a straight lino San Antonio,
Austin Waco and Fort Worth.
The town of Bolton would also be
on this oute besides a number
of smaller towns two or three of
them at present without any road.
Tho benefits to bo derived from
the north and south connections
at San Antonio and Fort Worth
to say nothing the fact that inter-
mediate business could bo hand-
died in magnificent style are such
as to make it certain that the line
will be built in the judgement of
the people here and that within
a short time. Waco Times-Herald.
The happiest man in the world
is the everday chap who makes
his own living, pays his own
board and has the respect of his
neighbors. He save3 a little mo-
ney as he goes along, but does
not try to get a corner on the lo-
cal output, and he is a slave
to neither ambition nor society.
In the morning when he slides in
to his pants he neyer wastes time
trying to pick out the right tint of
socks suspenders and necktie that
will blend with tho general effect
Ho nears a "biled" shirt when
he feels like it and when his pet
corn begins to jump he whips out
his knife and cuts a 4-inch gash
in the side of his boot and noth-
ing is said in the papers. He
haa an appetite like a cyclone,
and never has to sit up nights to
poultice his consciences. He be-
lives in the doctrine of live and
let live. When he encounters
one of the needy he doesn't stut-
er with his pocketbook. The plain
plug man is happy because he is
satisfied and does not spend tho
better part of his life yearning
for something about four sizes too
big for him. Ex.
A sufficient test for voters in
democratic prima.ios should be:
''I am a white man and a demo-
crat." The effort to put iron
bands on other people's minds or
consciences ha9 ever and will
ever prove a failure. Any man
may learn something before to-
morrow and change his mind and
affections. No man made creed
was ever formulated that can or
hould bind any democrat in his
religion or politics. A man may
very properly affirm what he is
now, but nobody but God can
say what ho will be tomorrow.
Omniscience only knows the
morrow.
The question now seems to be
which shall turn out of the road,
the farmer or tne automobile?
Each should give half, but unless
the old man has strong reins and
a good grip, the chances are that
the horses may bo too polite, go
over the fence and tfke a short
cut for the nearest tall timber.
K. Lamity.
The superintendent of tho coun-
ty larm, A. 'J. Owens, informs
the Democrat reporter that there
are now thirteen county convicts
and eighteen paupers on the
county farm. Belton Democrat.
Chas. Ferrjott has his new in-
vention for the destruction of tho
boll weevil on display, and it is,
beyond doubt, the proper ma-
chine o secure the 850,000.

What Three Links tid.
Last week a vtfnderingDoy from
far away Illinois was run overhand
killed by a passenger train, dovn
below Sanderson. No money could
be found on his person, 'and the
Vat Verde authorities were prepar-
ing to put him away as a pauper
when a bystander Odd Fellow
discovered three links pinned on
the lapel of the dead man's coat,
Further investigation was madc,
and in an inside pocket a receipt
was found showing him to be a
member in good standing of a cer-
tain Illinois lodge. The wires at
once told the news to the faraway
home lodge, and a message came
flying back to have the body em-
balmed and shipped to Illinois. In
an hour or so all that was mortal
of the poor boy, instead of being
fbwered into a pauper's grave, was
conducted to the depot at Del Rio
by the lodge in regular form and
sent home where a mother's tears
could dampen the soil above his
grave and a mother's hand could
place flowers on his tomb. Far
eaching is the powei of these mys
tic links. Those bound together
by the ties of Friendship, Love
and Truth never get so far away
but what their faintest cry is heard.

Holland Fire.
Holland, Tex., April i6, The
Holland roller mills, owned and
operated by J. P. Murrah, burned
last night with contents. Plant and
building cost about 12 500 dollars
About 7.000 bushels of wheat.one
thousand bushels of corn, eight
hundred sicks of flour and 6 or 7
hundred dollars voith of empty
sacks were consumed in the flames
The fite was under good headwiy
before it was known and nothing
was saved, but about one hundred
sacks of flour. It is understood
that Mr, Murrah had $10,750
insurance. C. J. Wilkinson's
lumber yard was in great danger
being right close, and wind blow-
ing toward it, but it was saved by
faithful work of the bucket brigade.
Boll Weeyils In Hail.
A reliable farmer living in the
vicinity of Stone savs that during
the hail in that section a lew days
ago he picked up some of the hail
stones, and noticing a black speck
in them, a more minute investiga-
tion revealed the fact that the
hail stones contained in their cen-
ter a boll weevil. He was of the
opinion that since they were rain-
ed down there is' no escape from
them save by the abandonment of
cotton altogether, and that while
he only has a few acres, that he is
planting that in corn. Brenham

ertson of Temple and W. T. Shan-

standing that both will offer for

Ballard's Horehound Syrup.
Immediately relieves hoarse,
croupy cough, oppressed, rattling,
rasping and difficult breathing.
Henrv C. Sicarns, Druggist,
Shullsburg, Wis., writes May 20,
1901: "I have been selling Bal
lard s Horehound Syrup for two
years, and have iever had a prep
aration that has given better satis-
faction. I notice that when I sell
a bottle they come back. for more.
I can honestly recommend it."

Some men are deceitful, and as
a natural consequence, look upon
their follow man in tho same
light, God pity the fellow who
is always suspecting some great
injustice being done him by competitors.
