POOL TABLE IN CONNECTION. NEXT DOOR TO H. HORNER.
Did you ever spoil a stamped
envelope in attempting to write an
address upon it? Or have you
lost stamps because they have got
sticky and adhered to each other?
If so you should know that stamp-
ed envelopes which are only spoil-
ed by mistakes committed in su-
perscribing will be redeemed by
the postoffice department at their
stamp value. Postage stamps dam-
aged by sticking together in warm
weather or for other causes before
UBing may be returned to the de-
partment and their value will be
repaid to the purchaser- or ex-
changed for new stamps and sent
by postmasters redeeming them to
the department and records are
kept of them. These regulations
are, we think, not generally known
at large and their publication may
be beneficial.
The above was clipped from the
Bastrop Advertiser. The first part
referring to the envelopes is cor-
rect, but the other anent the dam-
aged postage stamps, so Assistant
Postmaster Hoeflert informs us is
not correct. The department will
only redeem damaged stamps from
the postmaster.
Persons troubled with chronic
diarrhoea should use Chamberlains
Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea Rem-

lief and is the only remedy that
will effect a permanent cure.

Our life would be more pleasant
And we'd have less cause for sorrow,
If folks would all supply their wants
And stop their ceaseless "borrow.
One wants the ax to chop some wood,
Another the hoe and rake;
Our well grabs never are at home—
If they could, the well they'd take.
They borrow the horse and buggy, too,
And often meal and flour,
One good old soul even wanted the clock
To "take draps on the hour."
The knives and forks, the cups and
plates,
In fact, most all our dishes
Have circled all around the town
To suit other folks' wishes. x
They think we run a drug store, too,
All for sweet charity's sake,
We have numerous calls for essences
And drops to stop an ache.
Our wheelbarrow, saw and hammer's
gone,
The trowel, square and maul,
There's little left to fuss about,
So come and get it all.
Then we can rest with perfect ease
And gladly wait the morrow,
For well we'll know when they hit the
door
They haven't come to borrow.
—G. Rey in Georgia Signal.
The household remedy is Hunt's
Lightning Oil. All aches and pains

No man can observe the pro-
ceedings in any of our courts with-
out seeing that something in our
system is radically wrong. In the
first place, they are too expensive
—too much high priced time is
needlessly wasted and citizens are
taken away from their business
without adequate oompensation.
But more important still, is the
fact that they fail in the main ob-
ject for which they are created—
protecting society from the crimi-
nal element. There are too many
loop-holes of escape for the known
criminal, while the grand jury
system and prejudiced officials too
often unite to prosecute innocent
persons. Worst of all, this is
often done to secure political ends.
—Gran bury News.
"Little spells of fever, little chills
so bland,
Makes a mighty graveyard and an
angel band.
A little of Cheatham's Chill Tonic
taken now and then
Makes the handsome women and
the healthy men."
The moustache is merely a bang
on the lip.
Farm Economy.
Farm economy does not consist
merely in the production of crops
at the least possible cost, though
this may be an important factor.
Nor are any one or two or a dozen
things, however important in
themselves individually or collect-
ively, all that should claim the
farmer's attention. One may raise
phenomenal crops, at a phenome-
nally low cost; he may care for,
utilize and market with excellent
judgment, and yet he may become
a bankrupt because he don't know
what to do with the proceeds, or
from any one of a dozen or more
causes. There is no business that
involves so many essential details,
and details that require so many
distinct faculties, so many and so
varied capabilities. Farming is a
business in which may be aimed at
but never reached. No man can
farm so well that no one else can
excel him. Therefore, successful
farming is relative. M he gets
more rational enjoyment out of the
business than others, it is because
his farm economy exceeds theirs
as a whole. Others may surpass
him in this, that or the other par-
ticular without affecting the gen-
eral result. Many farmers make a
mistake when, having accumulated
a surplus, they invest it in some-
thing else, hoping to grow rich
more rapidly There is room and
opportunity on any good farm to
tax all the talent of the best man
yet made. The surplus earnings
should be invested on the ground
that produced it and for the benefit
of those who planned and executed
the successive annual campaigns.
Let the stock be improved; let ad-
ditional conveniences and beauties
be added to the farm landscape and
additional comforts for the family,
the laborers and the animals. We
have known many successful farm-
ers, but have not known one to
accumulate more than might be
judiciously expended at home, in
educating the children and adding
the attractions of intelligent farm
life to the original capital. The
writer once spent a night with a
wealthy Brazos bottom planter of
Fort Bend county. His residence
consisted of a single room, with a
dirt floor, carpeted with a beef
hide. One night there was enough.
Another in the same neighborhood,
cultivating seven hundred acres of
Brazos bottom lands', lived on a
beautiful prairie ridge in a beauti-
ful grove of native oaks. The res-
idence was a large two-story frame,
roughly finished and without a
single convenience, and the table
was supplied with dried beef, tur-
nip greens and corn bread for
breakfast, turnip greens, corn bread
and dried beef for dinner, and
corn bread, dried beef and turnip
greens for supper, with the addi-
tion of black coffee at every meal.
Each of these farmers made fine
crops; one spent all his surplus
betting on the wrong horse at the
races, and the other divided his
net profits between political cam-
paign expeuses, land litigation and
supporting some worthless rela-
tives. Both of them were prema-
turely old and badly bow-backed,
and neither of them nor any mem-
ber of their family seemed to care
for or know anything better. As
farmers, both were utter, miserable
failures, and there are hundreds
such. The average cornfield negro
is a better farmer than either or
any of these because he gets more
rational enjoyment out of farm life.
The only worldly object worth
striving for in this life is rational
enjoyment, and surplus earnings
spent for any other purpose is
money wasted. Surplus earnings
of the farm should be spent on the
farm in bettering, beautifying and
enriching it, and the supreme
pleasure of the farmer should be
lound in contemplating and enjoy-
ing its beauties and growing and
ripening perfections.—Farm and
Ranch.
In every community it is a fre-
quent occurrence for some one to
be burned or scalded. The best
treatment is Chamberlain's Pain
Balm which almost instantly re-
lieves the pain and quickly heals
the injured parts.

The Advance in Prices Under the Trusts.
A dispatch to the Enquirer yes-
terday told of the commercial
travelers on trusts and on Hanna
as the head and foot of the -evil. It
was stated that they claimed that
the trusts, instead of lowering
prices, increased the burden of the
consumer. Recently the American
Anti-Trust league had represent-
atives call on 5oo manufacturers in
New York City as to the effect of
the trusts on the prices of com-
modities. The agents turned in
reports at the time of each inter-
view, many of them signed by the
person giving the information. No
commodity was discovered as hav
ing been decreased in price. The
advances range-from 5 to 50 per
cent. In the list are the following
articles which nearest touch daily
life:
Dressmakers' supplies, advance in
everything from 15 to 25 per cent. More
capital needed to carry stock.
Envelopes, 40 per cent, and notice
out for a further advance.
Enameled ware, 50 per cent.
Builders' hardware, 45 per cent.
Iron beds, 35 to 65 per cent.
Brooms, 40 to 50 per cent a dozen.
Copper wire, 100 per cent.
Chairs, 25 to 33 1-3 per cent.
Furniture, 25 per cent.
Flour, 30 cents a barrel.
Glassware, 20 per cent.
Ham, delicatessen, 3 cents a pound.
Iron, 100 per cent.
Knit wool, $1 to $1.50 a dozen.
Photo paper, nearly 110 per cent.
Plumbers' supplies, 30 to 60 per cent
Rubber, everything greatly advanced.
Ranges, 20 to 33 1-3 per cent, and
another advance expected.
Shoes, advance in all grades 10 to 20
per cent.
Spool cotton, from 8 to 25 per cent.
Salt, 10 to 15 per cent.
Stoves, 25 to 33 1-3 per cent.

Our Trade With Africa.
Public interest in African affairs
is very great at the present time,
while that continent is in snch an
unsettled condition. Africa is re-
garded by many commercial na-
tions as a great future market for
exports, and the demand for Unit-
ed States goods is not at all back-
ward. Exports from the United
States to Africa were in the fiscal
year of 1899 more than five times
as great as they were in 1889, a-
mounting in the former year to
$3,496,505, and in 1899 to $18,-
594,424. From "Cape to Cairo"
and from Liberia to Abyssinia
American manufactures and Amer-
ican foodstuffs are steadily making
their way into public favor, and
the consumption is constantly on
the increase. Railroad bridges in
the Nile Valley, mining machinery
in the gold and diamond districts,
cloth and foodstuffs are all eagerly
sought for. Exports from the
United States to Africa have grown
more rapidly since 1893 than those
to any other of the grand diyisions
of the world, while Asia and Ocean-
lca come next, and they are fol-
lowed by Europe, North America
and finally South America.—Scien-
tific American.
It would be well to remember
that Chamberlains' Cough Remedy
is a most excellent medicine and
especially for acute throat and lung
diseases. It will cure a severe cold
in less time than any other treat-
ment.

Rev. Talmage says: "A news-
paper whose columns overflow
with advertisements of business
men has more influence in attract-
ing attention to and building a
town than any other agency that
can be employed. People go where
there is an enterprising community.
No power on earth is as strong to
buil<f a town as a newspaper well
patronized, and its power should
be appreciated."

Mr. J. A. Padon, just in
Oaklahoma, brought with
an ear of corn said to have
grown from seed found in an In-
dian mound in Arkansas, fifteen
feet befow the surface in a
clay vessel. The color of the
corn is peculiar, a bluish brown,
difficult to describe. The
a large one. But the
about it is the alleged yield per
stalk, It is said (but not Farm
and Ranch who said it) that it of-
ten matured as much as sixteen
good ears to the stalk. McNabb's
Oklahoma grapes are black; but
this Oklahoma corn will make
them change color—make them
blush a brilliant scarlet.—Farm

There have been more than 59oo
suicides in this country during 12
months which breaks the record
for this or any other country. The
impetuous strife for wealth and
power that characterizes Ameri-
cans as it does uo other people of
ancient or modern times, is too
much for the nerves. Over-wrought
shattered and weakened, the nerv-
vous system of which the brain is
the center, gives way if financial
loss or political disappointment,
and a pistol ball or a dose of poison
sends the victim from the ills he
has to those he knows not of.—
