ODDS AND ENDS.
Covington is the boss tin-rooter.
This is the day lor colored eggs.
Some appearance of rain last night.
Get Covington to do your tin work.
Now that Lent is over, let the butcher
rejoice.
The new sanctuary lamp at the Catho-
lic church is a beauty.
Next in order comes the May day and
Sunday school pic-nies.
Valuable work is being done on Main
street, near the street car stables.
The first regular meeting of the new
council occurs next Tuesday night.
The El Paso Literary and Musical so-
ciety meets at the El Paso parlors next
Tuesday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Radicar gave a party at
their residence last evening, which was
quite a pleasanfr allair.
Runaways seem to be prevalent nowa-
days. Several occurred yesterday. Be
careful with your teams and secure them
before leaying.
A fine large Durham bull attracted
much attention on Main street yesterday.
We understand he was sold at auction to
the highest bidder.
Capt. Sidney Martin is having his new
residence fitted with gas and water pipes,
which will render it one of the most con-
veniently arranged dwellings in the city.
The boys have changed our pet cat’s
name from W. S. Hancock to Jim Court-
right. It is a terrible good cat, and not
airaid ot anything, but we fear Jim will
not be much complimented.
Jerry Reagan’s fruit aud lemonade
stand, iocated.on the soutli side ot the
square, was broken into and robbed Fri-
day night. Jerry says he didn’t lose
much, but thinks the robber or robbers
broke in with the expectation of finding
some money.
At the Episcopal and Catholic churches
to-day the ceremonies will be particularly
grand and impressive. At the former
church, a competent and well drilled
quartette, will render some most excel-
lent vocal music.
Our recently elected city attorney.
Robt, McCurt will adopt the commend-
able plan ot meeting with the council
whenever they assemble. This not
only familiarizes him with all the ordi-
nances, but enables the members ot the
council to be well advised on all pomt6 of
law involved in their municipal enac-
ments.
Good For Babies.
We are r leased to say that our baby was
permanently cured ot serious protracted
irregularity of the bowels by use of Hop
Bitters by its mother, which at the same
time restored her to perfect health and
strength.—The Parents, University ave ,
Rochester, N. Y. See another column.
Do Not Attempt
To deny that Brunswig sells better wall
paper and at a less price than any one in
the city. The fact is self-evident, as he
- buys direct from the factories, in the
largest quantity thereby obtaining special
concessions, which he offers his custom-
ers.
For Sale.

Frost Kitten.
We learn that the late frost did serious
damage to the fruit and early vegetables,
|n the northern portion of the county, and
in Denton the peach crop is reported as
entirely destroyed, and even early vegeta-
bles of a hardy character are seriously
damaged. This is to be seriously regret-
ted, lor fruit and vegetables are one of the
“stand bys” for the summer months.
Who is He ?
Thomas Shirgins, of Fort Worth, has
sent a minaturebale ot cotton to President
Gnrfiek]. it was neatly bound with pol-
^hed brass ties, marked as if ready tor
shipment, and accompanied by the follow-
ing letter: ‘‘By tliis mail I send you a
. oale rq cotton to enter your cabinet of cu-
intsities. The fortunaie people out here
“re free from general elections for two
Uiars. and have devoted their time to in-
creasing trie importance of their king,
entton. and enhancing the value of his

—Hot weather produces inaction ot the
liver. Inaction of the liver causes dis-
eased kidneys, and diseased kidneys un-

cure, the purest and best remedy ever dis-
covered.—1-17-2 w
