li had ht't'ii twenty yours since
Bill Hawkins had visited the fine
old <-ity of New Orleans. Bill owns
a cotton farm in driving distance
of Meridian. 1 propose faithfully
to set down the manner of this
last visit, as related by Bill him-
self, in a prose epic of as many
little "books" as Bill's unique
narrative requires:
"You see Sally always was a
mighty peert and knowing gii-1.
Her maw has always been down
on me. I never would have got-
ten Sal if it hadn't been for a New
Orleans Carnival twenty years
ago. Whew! A purty long time
isn't it! Sal's maw was powerful
sour on me. She said she had
never known any good of me
since the night her old man caught
me and a crowd of boys stealing
his watermelons. Si Perkins was
in the party and tne old man
took Si and me aside and saying
that, beings we was the biggest,
he'd give 11s a little tanning just
as a lesson to the little boys. And
he strung the little boys in a row
like soldiers, and he took Si for
the first example and give him an
all-fired larrupping with the end
of a rope; and then he took 1110,
but, as he lifted the rope, Sal,
who had been looking 011 with the
tears a-sparkling in her eyes, i
the moonlight, stopped out and
said, 'Don't you whip him, sir,'
right square at her dad. And he
asked, 'why, please?' 'Because
he is my sweetheart,' said Sal,
and the old man sort o' laughted
I > himself and let me go, patting
his daughter on the head and
saying, 'You're a good tin!'
"Well, sir, the old 'oman got
that mad that she raised sand
with the old man, but he was one
of these sort of critters that any
'oman could storm at just like the
rain a-patteringon a new-shingl-
ed roof. It didn't have any effect
on him. Similarly, the old, 'oman
used to raise sand whenever she
saw Sal and me together and for
a while I thought I never would
get Sal if I had first to get the
good ear of the old 'oman. Until
one day, twenty years ago, the
old man says tome, 'Bill Haw-
kins,' says he, 'I'm a-going to
New Orleans for the Mardi («ras
and I am going to take Sal. It's
I a fine place for lovers, is o|<| New
Orleans in carnival times, when
| there is a maw-in-law prospective
in the way of happiness.' And
I the old jeilge rode on with that
curious sort of expr >ssion he had,
finishing what he had to say and
saying nothing more. 1 thought
about this over and over again
and I told Sal about il and she
sorter laughed but she said no-
thing and could offer me no con-
solation, so says 1 to myself, 'I'm
hlowed if I don't go to the carni-
val too!' So when next I meets
the jedgo, I says, 'where are you
going to stop, jedge?' and he
says 'most anywhere, Bill—that's
one o' the beauties of a New < >r-
leans Carnival.' But Sal got
word tome and when maw-in-law
saw me in New Orleans, she says,
'Law, Bill Hawkins, can't we
never get out of your sight?' And
I toltl her 1 thought 1 could worry
along without the sight of her,
but it was different about Sal and
she got furious and said that on
account of Sal's fondness for me
she was going to put her immedi-
ately in a convent. Whether the
old lady meant it made no differ-
ence. It seared me so I could
hear my heart beat until Jl had
gotten the license, and Sal and 1

appeared before the jedgo and I
said, "Jedgo, if yon will come I
with us, I would like to have you 'p r 1 , « q
giv < away this daughter of yours , ||( £111311] 06 O0if"
to me before the world,' and the !
jedgo smiled and looked at me
sorter curious and took his hat,
without saying one word until il
was his turn to say it in the old
St. Louis Cathedral. Oee! But
you talk about a Mardi Oras!
That was one!
"You know Si Perkins drifted
to ('hieago and came to bo a great
pork-strieker with money to throw
at the birds and, just a little be-
fore last carnival, he blew into
Meridian with a friend of his
called John Brown, a railroad
feller, just at the time I was in
town, and they told me they were
going to Mardi Oras. I 'lowed
there hadn't been any since the
one twenty years ago, worth while
speaking about, and they said
they guossed I1 was mis ake.i, and
so I told them the story of how
Sal and I were married during
that Mardi Oras, and they said I
had better come and see the
Mardi Oras of this year and take
Sal. But I said I didn't think Sal
would come. She wanted to go
to visit her maw. And then Si
and John laughed and said,
'Well, you'll find thiii there is as
great a difference in the Mardi
Oras of to-day,' and the guys
laughed again, but wouldn't tell
me what they meant. Can you
understand? I don't. Well, I
schemed to get Sal over to her
maw and she said I was so good
to let her go and she hoped I
wouldn't be lonesome. ! said I
reckoned 1 would manage to worry
along. And when she had been
over at her maw's a day, I sent
her a message saying, "A11 en-
gagement of twenty years'stand-
ing calls me to Nrw Orleans! 'I
would never 'a' wrote such a fool
message, if it hadn't been for
that fellow Brown. When I was
writing I says, 'What shall I say
to Sal?'and he says, 'Oh, any
old thing! Tell her an engage-
ment of twenty years' standing
calls you to New Orleans.' And
Si laughed and so I thought it
smart, but I di In't when I got to
thinking about it in the Queen A-
Crescent train later. 'I will l e
back in two weekj' I added?
'That will give you plenty of
margin,' said Brown, and Si said
'yes,' and both the guys laughed
again.

TO UK CONTINUED.
Oonzales county readily raised
s11 to.th)() for a cotton mill, ami il
seems to have ret pi i red but Itttle
talking from Mr. Hargrove to get
i(. The Oonzales Inquirer says:
"A man in the south that could
hear Mr. Hargrove talk for an
hour and a half on induetrial en-
terprises and especially that con-
nected with cotton and not have
cotton mill oozing out at his pores
would be as hard as a stone and
as cold as a lobster."
Bastrop has long since had
"cotton mill oozing out of its
pores" and we are confident a
"talk" from Mr. Hargrove would
easily raise a sufficient amount of
money to secure the erection of a
first class cotton mill here, if we
could only get the gentleman to
visit us.
City attorney J. Jenkins re-
quests the publication of the fol-
lowing extract from the City
Court ordinances, relating to
Vagrants, and gives notice to all
such, that the law will be enforced
to the strict letter:
VAORANCY.
Art. 118. Kvery vagrant in
this city shall, upon conviction,
be fined in any sum not exceed-
ing ten dollars.
Art. 110. The following per-
sons are vagrants within the
meaning of the preceding article:
1. An idle person who lives
without any means of support,
ami makes no exertion to obtain
n livelihood by honest employ-
ment.
2. Any person who strolls idly
about the streets of the city, hav-
ing no local habitation, and no
honest business or emplopment.
li. A person who strollf about
to tell fortunes, or to exhibit
tricks, not licenfed by law.
4. A common prostitute.
5. A professional gambler.
(i. Any person who goes about
to beg alms, who is not afflicted,
or disabled by a physical malady,
or misfortune.
7. An habitual drunkard who
abandons, neglects, or refuses to
aid in the support of his family.
In a short speech before the
Trans-Mississippi Congress at
Houston, last Wednesday, Gover-
nor Sayers said:
"Without manufactures no
community can be absolutely in-
dependent. Producing about
(MM>,000 bales of cotton per year,
Texas has only two or three cot-
ton factories. We must start fac-
tories in Texas and show to the
West that we are willing and able
t< 1 take care of ourselves and dem-
onstrate to the world that manu-
factures can be made successful
in Texas. Outside money will
come if we but show a disposition
to help ourselves in the way of
starting industries, and I hope
some member from Texas will in-
troduce a resolution in this Con-
gress along this line, but we must
have factories if we have to build
them ourselves. With factories,
improved harbors and our splen-
did railroad facilities we can af-
ford to the great Northwest an
outlet for her commerce and pro-
ducts that will be of untold value."
A pro ninep; farmer of Denton
county, named David Kobinson
died recently from glanders,
which he contracted from a horse.
He was doctoring the horse and
was bitten by the infuriated
animal. He was immediately
taken sick, fearful sores breaking
out all over his body, and died
within forty-eight hours from the
time he was bitten.
