there is any virtue in placing

"Greenville and Sulphur

Texas. Live advertising mer-

of the South.
We known how to sympa
thize with the family that is
struggling against poverty and
consequently feel as though
they are unable to spare their
children from the fields, But
let us reason for a moment.
We have a special school
fund for the benefit of that
child who is struggling yonder
under the hot rays of a south
ern sun, whose body and mind
is being dwarfed by overwork
aud neglect. Would it not be
better to lose the small pit-
tance realized from its feeble
Nacog work and give it the benefit of
at least a common tvhool edu-
cation. which is due. and can
be furnished without additional
expense to the state. By so
doing you will better prepare
your child for the duties of life.
It will he more able to protect
itself against the sneak thief

know better how to appreciate,
and protect the grand princi-
ples of independence and liber
ty as they have been demon-
strated in our American form
of government. Hy all means
i let us educate and elevate
the masses, for as Washington
said in his farewell address.
"In proportion as a structure
of government irives force to
public opinion, it is essential
t.'jat public opinion should be
enlightened."
If we wish to perpetuate a
government "of. for and by
the people," let u* encourage
popular education, "of. for
and by the people."
Give the citizens of any
government an untrammelled
education, and you will dig the
grave of the anarchist and the
monopalist, and bridire the
chasm between capital and
labor.
You will crowd to the will the
political shyster and dema-
gogue and thereby make room
for heart nud brains to rule.
The cruel hand of bigotry aud
power will be palsied and the
sceptre of justice will be waived
by an honest hand over a pros
perous and happy people.
Our government to-day is
Verona.

quently we blame no one until

struggle followed, iu the course
of which the negro, as he got
in the ascendant, would strike
Mr. Sontag on the head or body
with the slungshot. While the
negro was naturally more pow-
erful, Mr. Sontag derived un-
natural strength < which he used

straits in which he found him-
self, and ha and his assailant
were alternately on top. As
the struggle progressed, Mrs.
Soutog, with the courage of
a devoted wife, rushed out of

husband, but she was stopped
by the other negro with a
threat of death if bJi«' moved or
screamed. Despite ihU threat
she did scream, but without the
effect of alarming the neigh-
bors. The negro on the inside
of the house now started out to
assist the other negro iu dis-
patching Mr. Sontag, but the
special providence which it
would seerti, had broken that
gentleman's sleep at a critical
moment was still presiding, for

conflict had given forth melan-

with what appeared to be an
open kuife. the bulldog, with-
out a growl, but with the feroc-
ity of a tiger, sprang upon him
from behind, fastening his
teeth in bis shoulder
und bringing him to
the ground. The negro how led
in agony as th<* bulldog chew-

dog the fleeing scoundrels, but

day at the Otto, Hedgecoxe
farm. The Lone Star club, com-
manded by Capt. Rob Fisher
had invited the First nine of

Capt. H. Pierce.
A cloud of witnesses and ad-

and at noon epread a moet

all. The unbounded hospital-

ing up the news last week,
but the farmers were wearing
such long faces, 1 wanted to
find the cause, and thought 1
would wait so I could write up
the matter. But Sunday morn-
ing the thing needed no expla-
nation. The farmers had ex-
changed their long-drawn coun-
tenances, for one that express
ed joy ami gladness, und vied
with the sun in brightness. One
could tell by the merry twin-
kle in their eyes, and by the
firm grasp of the hand that
nothing was lacking, their con-
tentment was complete, lliey
had had the rain they be-
guu to trouble about.
