That's usually the way. The
man that does the most work gets
the least pay. The sheriff's office
is surely one of the most important
of all the county offices, to say
nothing of the danger connected
with it, still he gets about the least
pay, considering the importance.

FROM SWISS ALPS.
I am no quidqunk and news is
scarce, therefore I will report just
that what comes to my mind and
express my opinion without fear
and with a certain pungency,
though yet in my puerile years.
Last week 1 went to LaGrange
and saw that not everything was as
it could be, When passing down
the Bluff bill 1 noticed that the
rbad is in a deplorable condition.
A regular creek on each side. It
would be a good idea to fix that
before some one gets hurt.
About two weeks ago two men
from this vicinity went fishing.
They took a boat along so that
they need not sit on the bank of
the river all the time. The moon
was shining bright, they rowed out
into thg wafcer to try their luck, in
a short time they had a bite and
were not a little perplexed when
they reeled in the line and saw
something unusual large at the end
which they took for an aligator,
(but don't get scared.) One of
them wanted to get a rifle, but the
other replied, wat de$ Scblog
ick dodt." He took one ol the oars
and struck the alligator with all his
might aijd said "de ttet g'naug."
From that terrible blow the object
sunk below the surface of the wa-
ter, but only for an instant, tben it
appeared again to meet once more
with the same vyelconje of the pad
die, but still harder. This time he
missed it a little, the piece of wood
(the alligator) flew into the boat
and so scared the manager of the
paddle fhat he undoubtedly would
have fallen into the water had not
his companion caught him in time.
Mrs. H. Meyer and Mrs. —.
Stoever returned from Galveston to
their fqajiijies who were glad to see
mamma bap is.
Born, a boy baby to Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Stroebel.
Mr. Dick Stoever and family
from Jackson county came up to
old Fayette to see home folks.
Miss Helen Meyer left for Gal-
veston on the 7th in t., but before
she left a great many relatives and
friends congregated at the residence
of her parents to bid her farewell.
A ball took place at the Swiss
Alp hall Sunday before last, which
was attended by a good crowd.

DO YOU SUPPOSE
For a minute that I would put up a
Wind Mill on your place that would
not be satisfactory?
THE BANDY WIND MILL
Works better and lasts longer than
any mill in Texas. We never sacri-
fice quality in order to lower the
price.

To last for years. It is by doing
things right that I succeed. Maybe
I am a crank on the subject, but
things cannot be too gooa for my
customers. That's why
I SELL BOCK'S STOVES and RANGES
In preference«'to all others. They

OUR LINE
There were so many lovely faces
that I fear some of our young men
lost their hearts that night.
Dear fatherland, no fear be thine,
firm stands thy guard—where?
At Abbott's Grove. The Ab-
bott's Grove militia gave an exhi-
bition drill a few weeks ago. This
correspondent did not report be-
cause it is not in my beat.
The republicans are overcome
with hallucinations. They think
the war in the Philipines is at an
end. Some of the rebel generals
came with a flag of truce to the
American lines and asked for a
three weeks' armistice. But, if
granted; what after the armistice
has expired. The rebel forces are
scattered. Are they not ppjy look-
ing for a chance-to draw their men
together?
Let this be enough for this time,
something entirely new just struck
me just now. That will be some'
thing for the republicans. They
are for expansion and spend their
money abroad fighting savages. It
is better to invest the money in
home enterprises. Before the next
congress convenes I will lay my
plans before our congressman, to
see tQ it that congress makes an ap-
propriation in that direction. Now
wait, I'll tell you all about it in
my next communication. So long.
