good wagon roads are the great-
est factor in development of a Sam sixteen dollars as initial
country. These, he says, are •* • •
the best and the only means of
transjjortation in large sections
of the country lying back from
the railways. He says the rail-
road business of the country
has suffered- so much from at-
tacks and adverse legislation
that for years to come there will
not be such an era of railroad
buikling as has been in the past,
and» recommends pushing the
construction of wagon roads as a
substitute where railroads are
Jacking. His views are worthy of
serious consideration; for he has
a well earned reputation for can-
dor and sincerity in addition to
his large knowledge of the sub
ject of transportation in all its
branches.—Bryan Eagle.

Eleventh—We favor the adop-
tion of the constitutional amend-
ment making provision for the
establishment of a home for the
widows of Confederate soldiers.
Democratic Administration!
Twelfth—We congratulate our-
selves that the democratic
party has controlled the govern-
ment of the State for nearly
forty years, and that during that
time no scandal has ever marked
its administration, and we ex*
pressly commend the present
State administration for writing
into the statutes of the State the
platform pledges of the jmrty.
Thirteenth^—With renewed
hope in the principles of democ-
sation with a reporter said that
he had secured so far this year
twenty-two thousand pounds of
fine honey, he also said this was
decidedly the best receipts for
the past fifteen years.
Mr. Weaver has three hundred
hives of old bees and one hund
red of new, and he seems to be
well satisfied with their work.

year anyway, whether we make
a half crop of cotton or not.

with a diamond—which made it
morally certain that both of these
contingencies would fall to her
lot—this is to say, minus the dia-
monds. In the crisfls gripping
us she was the first to suggest a
homestead. Accordingly, after
looking around carefully, we de-
cided on a hundred and sixty
acres in one of the beautiful
payment and the final payments
will amount to fourteen dollars
more. We can prove up now at
any time, the proof consisting
in assuring the government com-
missioners, through fomjietent
witnesses, that we have resided
continuously for five years on
the land and have* shown an in-
tention to make it our home.
The homesteader is allowed ab-
sences of not longer than six

upon it. But the days of the old

Yesterday afternoon the Bach-

honor of her guest, Miss Eula

ent^ Dr. and Mrs. J. k. Neal.
The cool veranda on which the
tables were placed, was made in-
viting indeed, with rugs, cus-
hions, ferns and flowers. After
chatting a while, the guests en-*
tered enthusiastically upon the
game “five hundred.*' Most of
the girls had learned the game
well, so much excitement pre-
vailed and progression was rapid.
After such a lively struggle to

and we are unalterably opix>sed
to every attempt to destroy or
impair the excellent system es-
tablished by our wise and pat-
riotic fathers. We hold it to be
the first and highest duty of
every representative to faith-
fully execute thp will of his con-
stituency fairly ascertained.
The Constitution
Second—We hold tile constitu-

article 4 of the constitution of
the State of Texas limits the
Vower of the executive to con
* vene the legislature in special
tions from political control, to
the end that they will not suffer
the disturbance of changes in
administrations, and we recom-
mend indeixmdent boards of con
trol, with tenure of office so ar-
ranged as to prevent a complete

mony can exist except under
