Heavenly Father, give tts tvisdonl to divine
the course of right,
Why a soul so young and precious^ Should
be bidden to take its flight;
Why fond parents' hearts are brokcii by the
chastening rM of love,
AVhv such seeming cruel vengeance slio

Teach us to accept Thy dealing, feeling il is
but a test,
And though hard it seems, to bear it, let us
trust 'tis for the best.
Let us feel that God, in mercy, called the
little one above,
There to dwell with Him forever in that
home where nil is love.
Free from all the sin find trouble, that we in
this world endure,
Will dear baby rest forever, with the angels
sweet and pure;
Watching, waiting, never •sleeping, wiH. she
hold a beacon light,
Hoping thus to guide her loved ones safe to
Heaven in their flight. C. F.
Hi MEMOBIAM.
Respectfully dedicated to the memory of
William "Kibble, infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. Smith Brady, who died in this city
on July 20th, 1884.
The just dealings of Ood with human be-
ings must forever remain unquestioned, and
yet, it seems hard for some to undergo ap-
parent chastisement in having their darting
ones taken from them by death, just as they
are beginning to utilize the senses which God
gives them. Again, it behooves us some-
times to ask why innocent infancy must suf-
fer agonies of pain before death when we
are taught that suffering is caused by sin.
Can it be said that a helpless infant, void of
understanding, as regards right and wrong,
or sin, is made to suffer for what it is unable
to .comprehend? One can taádily conceive
why some are doomed to suffer, in this life,
for the sins of the parents, even unto the
third and fourth generations, but where is
the justice of punishing one individual for
the sins of another, against his will and for
whose own existence he can scarcely be held
responsible? The writer extends much sym-
pathy to the bereaved parents of little
William Kibble Brady, but hardly knows
how to offer words of condolement sufficient
to reconcile them to their bitter loss. His
suffering, we are taught, will be rewarded,
for wo read in t he Book of books that,
"whom God loveth he chasteneth." One can-
not help trusting our Sav'or and realizing
much comfort from His words, "Suffer little
clitldren," etc., and. therefore, it must bright-
en the gloom and melancholy hours of the
parents to know their little darling is and
will ever be far better off with Him than he
would be amid the trials and embarrassments
of an average lifetime.
IIow often (to we read of suicides, caused
from the effects of blasted opportunities and
unrealized hopes? Let us abide the result

ly removal from lifei especially at á'ime
when our intellects are such as to render us
unaccountable for sins committed by our-
selves, il' such can be. The baby is the joy
of the íiousehold, and necessarily changes
the feeling of joy, in the parents, during its
life, to that ot sorrow ilnd gloom after its
death. The writer sometíales wonders how
true and tried Christians arc effected by these
sefemingly severe trials, and often stands in
awe of God when noting the calmness and
perfect reconciliation evinced by many of
Ilis most faithful followers. Cheer up, then,
bereaved*ones, and open the doors of your
hearts to the light of Heaven and bid the
angle of mercy enter with that sympathy
which can only be compared with the love
of a mother for her dying boy. C. F. P.

I have decided not to build during the year
1881, and will continue my same business, at
old stand on North Mam street—only I
enlarge it in all branches, and do a
wholesale as well as a retail business in tlie
foKondng linos: Books of various kinds con-
sisting of School and Blank Books, Note
and Receipt Books, Copying and various
kinds of books; also Envelopes, Ink, Mucil-
age, and a thousand things in the book and
stationery line. I can and will undersell any
house In town, on Musical Merchandise, such
as Accordeons, Violins, Harps, both Jews
and French; also on Chromoes, Looking
Glasses, Picture Frames, Albums, Scrap
Books and Wall Paper. I sliall lead on that
line if I am compelled to sell it at cost.
Now coir;cs the Queens ware and Glass-
ware. I shall carry thelargest line in Wcath-
erford during this fall and winter, and you
will find a complete line of table cutlery,
from the finest Roger & Bro's Tripple plate
silver,; down to an Iron handle Knife and
Fork. You will find the greatest assortment
of Toys always at A. J. Stangcrs. Go and
see him and get his prices before you make
your purchases. Remember tho place and
name, North Main Street.

Handsome Corniccs
Vastly add to the appearance of ail large
buildings. They complete and beautify.
They place the finishing touch upon ¡.11 new
structures. J. H. Kenehan has inade this
description of decoration one of the special-
ties of his branch of industry. The latest
work of this character is on the Christian
and Couts buildings, on the north side of the
square, with cornice 40 inches face and 2S
projection, which so much adds to the ele-
gance and attractiveness of Weatherford.
From small beginnings in 1878, Mr. Kenehan
has grown to the proportions of the leading
men of his trade—stoves, fixtures and pipinj
agricultural implements, hardware, tinware
and everything in tho tin and iron manufac-
turing line. Mr; Kenehan's industry has
Ven profitable to Weathcrford, and on every
[ie'easion, profitable to his friends aud custo-
mers.'
Postponed.
The Olive Branch picnic, intended for
Thursday the 31st inst., has been postponed
until Wednesday, the 6th of August. This
change we announce on the authority of J,

others in that vicinity, request a large attend-
ance on that occasion. It is well for the pco-

grownnn this county, indulged in a few even-
ago, by several persons developed doubt*
Thomases as to tlie ability of Parker to
prbdiice good fruit. The success of B. C.
Yates, Dr. J. R.Mackenzie aud A. W.Nelson,
C: B: Bowcn and S. D. Thompson in tho
peach; plum; pear, apple, berry and grape
cultivation elected the sense and virtue of the
grafting process, feme favored it for this
vicinity while others condemned it, alleging
it was suicidal and Injuri'cu^to the tree or
vine grafted. Capt. Duke, iilte the horticul-
turist, Horace Greeley, offered his experience
and to prove it, went over to Sunnyside and
cut a pear graft from au apple tree, 8 1-4
inches long, on which were clustered nine
pears, weighing, on the scales of G. S. Flana-
ry, two pounds and seven ounces. This isa
reality. We measured the j;ratt and its
branch, and weighed the fruit. If any per-
son has any doubt of this statement he can
realize the iVholo business and see for him or
herself, the graft and fruit at the City Hall

authority for saying that 197 bundles of
Elisha II. Sisk's oats threshed out forty bush-

B. L. Copeland, residing seven miles west
of town, has raised some remarkable oats
Half an acre measured, on tho average, six.
feet and four inches in height. One head
measured 23 inches long aud contained 173
grains.
John F. Floyd brought us a beet weighing
8 1-2 pounds and one weighing 5 1-4 pounds.
He also brought five New York Early Rose
potatoes weighing 5 pounds and 5 ounces—
the heaviest tipping the scales at one pound
and four and a half ouncr-s. These are the
premium beets and potatoes so far.
A Camera Busted by Seven
Bandits.
Last week the photographic establishment
of R. ¿i.. Cunningham, on Palo Pinto street,
was invaded by Noah Gibson, Fred DeSmeth,
Eck W'illoughly, _ Watt Middleton, James
Gibscn, Lewis H. Ross and John A. Bever-
ley, and the largest sized camera adjusted
for the purpose of bringing forth the strong
points of the gentlemen named. After a
negative had been prepared tho camera natur-
ally busted, and longer refused to imperson-
ate the bandit forms of these well-known
Parkerites, with their drawn six shooters
pointed at each other.
Of rubbish from the old eohrt house site,
as we before stated, was a success III a very
brief period. The extraction of tlie huge
stone from the foundations was to be com-
pleted by Messrs. Haney & McKinnie, to-
day, and the grounds, placed, clean
and clear, to the commissioners' court.
Col. Dodson, the architect, was here on Sat-
urday last, and will come again to-day, to
superintend the commencement of work on
the r.ew courthouse by J. H. Milliken & Co.,
on Monday.

On the 19th, Satiifdiiy iast; J. N. Blair,
1 rought his celebrated Jersey- bull to town
I j have him weighed; THe youngster had
: ttalncd his second year, and at that age grat-
i led the throng by holding down thS beam
: t 1,080 pounds. The animal Is a real beau-
t f, ilnd illustrates what can be ¿one by kccp-
I lg improved stock Instead of the sort this
e juhtry has been used to. Mr. Blair had
t lis bull brought on from Tennessee, and
phid $175 for it, delivered here. That was
iii| February; 1883. The animal has been
kc^it with Mr: Blair's other herd—at no great-
er \ cost than any of the rett, and to-day he
tfobld not take SI,500 for him. This is the
effect of indulging in thoroughbred, reglster-
looded stock. It was amusing, on Siit-
.y, when a man approach Mr. Blair, with
liirt collar wide open and slooves rolled
d said, "strainger, is that yearlin' for
sale !"i "Yes," said Mr. Blair, "he can be pur-
chase^ if a man wants him bad and has the
monoji" Tho stranger—"I want to buy that
^ull and mean business," and rumiing his
f.down in his right pocket drew forth
liis, and faií, "yes, "mÍ%"Í vAnt that
yearlin' Wid will give $20 for it." That Set-
tled the . trade for Blair's Jersey bull. The
delighted owper declined the proffered sum
and went on his way rejoicing singing "no
Jersey for twenty doiiars."
