For the first time in three
weeks we are to-day enjoying
delightful snnshiny weather
the continuance of which for a
few da3-s will cause the counten-
ance of man- farmers to bright-
en up considerably as it will
allow them to bgiu plowing
and make a forward movement
generally toward planting or at
least preparing the ground
for the coining season. It is
also favorable for making gar-
den preparations a good deal
of that truck should have been
in the ground er this. I hear
of no lacal news of interest.
Dr Hober informs me that
Mr. Jo. Allen the gentleman

(Uncle Johns Jim and not Jas.
Ira) as from reports the two are
liable to be mistaken the one for
the other is somewhat improv-
ing although it is still uncer
tain as to"Tvhcther or not his
arm will finally have to be am-
putated. The doctor is trying
the conservative plan first in
order it possible to . give him
the use ot his arm. lie has
however been compelled to take
out a portion of it probably
five or six inches it being con-
siderably shattered. It will be
impossible to move him tor some
time but we learn the gentle-
man he is with Mr. Mike Bell
does all in his power to render
him comfortable. I can assure
your fair Sempronius correspon-
dent "Leonora" that it was far
from my intention to cist a re-
flection upon the known hospi-
tality of that very pleasaHt vil-
lage on the contrary the cour-
tesy nnd kind treatment we
have ever received from her cit-
izens will always remain as a
bright oasis upon the chequered
life of Tkavis.
How the times change and
how we change with them ! The
convention which nominated
Ibraham Lincoln for the pres-
idency had this plank in its
platform :
"Resolved that the mainten-
ance inviolate of the rights of
the States and especially of the
right of each State to order and
control its own domestic institu-
tions according to its own judg-
ment exclusively is essential to
that balance ot power on which
the perfection and endurance of
onr political power depend ; and
toe denouncethe IdwUss invasion

State or ferritory no matter
under icnat pretext as among the
greatest of crimes."

Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery
have been residents of the Sem-
pronius neighborhood in Austin
county for the past twenty-five
years and have reared a family
of intelligent sons and daughters
whose chief delight is in admin-
istering to the comfort and hap-
piness of their aged parents.
Mr. Montgomery is an old
Texas veteran but is now an
invalid having been confined to
his home for several years. Not-
withstanding his confinement he
takes as much interest in the
political aflairs of our country
as any ir.au in the State and is
under all circumstances a firm
unyielding and uncompromising
Democrat.

A Card t the PuuHc.
For many years we have made
two medicines snitcd to the ail-
ments of a vast class of sufferers.
Thonsands ot cures have been
made by them and in fact the
word failure could not be coup-
led with them. But within the
last two years counterfeits of
our medicines have sprung up
dangerons in their close imita-
tion cf our trade mark. To se-
cure the people we have placed
upon each gunuinc box of Hol-
loway's Ointment the lae simile
of the signature of our agent
Mr. Jos. Ilaydock. To counter-
feit is felonv. We shall relent-
lessly pursue an- one who imi-
tates this with the utmost vigor
of the law. We moat earnestly
beg that the great mass of the
American people will aid us in
our efforts to protect their
health and help us in our task
of bringing these most unprin-
cipled men to the bar of justice.
Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours
unless Mr. Jos. Ilaydock's sig-
nature is attached to tach box
of Pills or pot of Ointment and
the cud will soon be reached.

The People Want Proof
Thero is no medicine prescribed by
physicians or sold by Druggists that
carries such evidence of its success and
superior virtue as Buschke's okrmak
STttcf for severe coughs colds settled
on the breast consumption or any dis-
ease of the throat ai.d lungs. A proof
of that fact is that any person afilxted
can get a sample bottle for 10 cents
and try its superior effect leforo buying
the regular Mze at 75 cents. It has
lately been introduced in this country
from Germany nnd its Wonderful cures
