Socioty Comments on Well-Known
Woll Dressed Young Men
in tho City.
Lieut. John W. Phillips is noted for bis
swell appearouce and urbane manners.
Ho is fond of military display is an adept
iu the science of war and makes an excel-
lent ollioer.
Mr. J. W. Shcpard is a neat drefser. and
slicks clo. e to the very latest New York
fashions lie is partial to line trousers.
D. Lock ltru-h is numbered among the
most stylish of the young nu-n of the city
and he displays good taste in his general
make-up. Mr. linih is foud of a good
horse.
Mr. Wm. Boswell Is a very neat dresser
and is inclined to quiet colors.
Jeff Drown is toted for genteel dress
and genteel manners. He's for.d of the
ladii's and is very pnpulir.
W. H. Roge-rs a Univeivity student is a
young man of line iippearui.ee end ranks
among thu Lest and most stjlish of the
KtlldlililS.
Mr. S. D. Long otiUlier University Mu-
ib nt is a in nt cln sser ar:il the bt-st lawn
tenuis player in all the city.
Capt. W. H. Stney know just how to
dress and is notably foud cf head gear
nnd has mote ha s thi.n p.ny inuu in town.
He is a line military ollicer and a popular
commander none more fo in the stute.
He's a ? real ladies' man.
Mr. Kdgar Smith is. a close follower of
oorreot styles and is one of the very few
young men who do not dunce.
.Mr. A. S. Walker jr. Is one of the most
popular young men in the oity. He has
excellent taste nnd is fond of attractive
neckwear. He has the largest r.ssortment
of any one man in the city.
Mr. William .Montague (pror.onnced
Mon-ta-gue) Do Speucc the erudite and
distingue (pronounoed ilistanguy) city
editor of Tim Statesman and the author
of these tidbits of fashion is him-elf a
model of grace elegance nnd "refinement
of dross. He is decidedly au fait in all
matters that pertain to the toilet of tho
geuns dudus Americanus nnd his opinion
carries gn-at weight. Ho naturally pre
fers "soft 'colors nnd it will be noticed that
his nioktie always matches his suit to a
nicety and mounts his collar constantly
to get a view of tho now capitol while the
hat that covers his handsome hesd is n
chef d'oeuvro of art and beauty. The
oonp do grace of his pert onnel is his
"conch aud four" attachment that is
rarely separated fiom him. Tho conch is
a new one nnd a beauty but its 'foro part
is a black sorre' that carried its ride r
through the battle of San Jacinto. It
always precedes the city editor when out
together showing respect to the adage
"age bef'jre beauty."
The peculiar purifying and building up
powers of Hood's Sorsaparilla nrake it
the very best medioiuo to take at this sec-
son. Doctor McOIynn announces that he has
put his hnnd to the plow and will not turn
back. That's right. Doctor McGlyun.
That is what you and Henry George ought
to mive uone long pgo. it tins conntrv
had more good plowmen there would bo
less demand for anti-pover:y societies.
Savannah News Derr.
A StraDger in a Strange Land.
A. Black jr. writes from Andalusia
Abthnmn. thnt he was tAken with Hra.ttilnpv
of the bloodiest type. Doctors were called
in to co effect. A stranger suggested Dr.
Digge rs' Huckleberry Cordial and to its
use he owes his life.
Judge Kellcy would preserve the rugar
dnty. In this he is at least more consist
ent than Senator Sherman and in fact it
seems ditlieuit to understand why sugar
should not be protected if everything
else is to be unless because it is grown
in Louisiana and rot in Ohio. rrovideuce

The followiug opinion by Chief Justice
Stay ton is of importance and is published
for the information of those concerned.
Herman Floege et nl. vs. F.3. Viedner;
from Comal couuty.
The first motion is to strike out the as-
signments of error which on inspection
are teen to be largely arguments in sup-
port of the matters on which the ussign-
monts are based.
An assignment of error should pointedly
and clearly show the ruling or matter
comp'ained of and nothin more nnd
the argument m support of the assign-
ment has its proper place elsewhere.
The assignments in this case do point
out the mntters complained of and this
oourt would not feel authorized to refuse
to consider them jbecause they do more
thin this.
The second motion asks that the brief
be stticken out beoausecot in aooordance
ith the rules.
The statement of the nature and result
of th suit is not that short and concise
stnt ment contemplated by the rnlts but
is an effort to oombii e that with a state-
ment of the facts feund and to give a
minute history of the several proceediogs
in the case.
This is not contemplated by the rule
which requires au introductory statement
of the nature and result of the suit.
This is a defect in the brief howevcron
account of which we would not fee! au
thorized to reejuire the case to be re-
briefed were the brief otherwise ia sub
stantial complaince with the rules.
Such however is not the case.
Rule 31 Provides that "to each one of
said propositions there shall he subjoined
a brief statement iu substance cf suoh
proceedings or part then of coutained'in
the record as will bo necessary and sum
ciout to explain aud support the proposi-
tion w.tii a reference to the pages of the
record. This statement must be made
faitliful'v in reference to the wholo of
that which is in the record having a bear-
ing upon said proposition pon the profes
sionnl rcsponsibili y of the counsel who
makes it withont copying the record and
withe. ut intermixing with it arguments
reasons conclusions or infereLces."
'I he rule was intended as were all others.
to n rjuiro i-uch pre seutation of n case in
the br:ef as would assist this conrt in the
dispatch of business and the crowded
state of its docktt deeply impresses upon
us the necessity for a tubstautial compli-
ance with the rules.
The first proput-ition in the brief be
fore us with the statement under it are
as fellows:
"The first assignment of error is itself
a proposition and complains that the un-
contradicted testimony of claimants
proves that the attached creditor sold and
conveyed the jack nnd stallion m contro
versy to the claimauts prior to the levy
of the attachme nt and that at the time
of the levy the debtor in attachment was
not entitled to the possession of the at
tached property and had no interest in
or title to the same.
STATEMENT.
"The court is most respectfully urged
to read the statement of facts and to dc
termine whether there is any evidence to
contrad'cf or set f.side for fraud the sale
of stock made by Cox to Fioe-ge prior to
the levy of the attachment. Ihe court
urged to consider that the statement of
facts was prepared by the nidge who re
fused to gruut n new trial. R- p. :!."
This iilust rates tiie n iuinor in which tho
brief is made u; and it is. evident that
the rules have net been substantial! v com
plied with.
For this reason the ttotieiti to strike out
the brief must bo sustained nnd ten days
will Le allowed to file a brief prepared ia
accordance wi'h the rule?. Stayton

Tho Veterans Invited.
The attention of the management of
the drill and dedication festivities having
been called to a paragraph in the Belton
Journal to the effect that the Texas vet-
erans had tot been invited to the great
celebration it is proper to state that this
is altogether a mistake. These grand old
heroes were as they should have been the
the very first to be invited as will be seen
from the following copy of a letter for-
warded by the secretary of the drill board
dated as far back as February 7 1888
and addressed to General Walter P. Lane-
president of the Texas Veteran assccia
lion. Marshall Texas:
"Recognizing and appreciating the
fact that had it not been for the patriot-
1838
ism and valor of the Texas veterans dur-
ing the davs of the republic we
tf to-day might not be preparing
to celebrate the completion and dodi-
cftion of the grandest capite 1 building in
tte union I am therefore msirccteu oy
the board of directors in charge of the
great nvli'ary and civic celebration to be
held in Austin Texas tr m May H to 11
1S88 in honor of the dedication ot onr
new capitol buildirg. to extend througn
you to the ctli.-ers and members of the
Texas Veteran association a cor
dial invitation to be present
at the dedication of the
new capitol and. if you win iurnisa
me with the address oi your """"--i
they will each he forwarded compli-
ment irv tickets to the encampment
grounds during the week of the celebra
tion." . .
In further recognition of the distin
guished position which the lexas veterans
should occupy in the approaching his-
tono celebration the chaplain ui iu
Texas Veteran association iuv.
J. C. Woolf.m of Rusk was
some time ago selected to deliver
the prayer upon the opening of the fere-
monies on dodioatiou eiay and he has long
since aocepted. tvery lexas veiernu
who attends the celebration will be royally
welcomed and given the most respectful
consideration as well as prominent posi
tion in ths dedication ceremonies.

The correct way is to buy goadd from
the manufacturer when possible. The
Elkhart Carriage and Harness Co. of Elk-
hart. Indiana have no agents. They
make iirst-class goods chip auywherp
privilogo to examine. See advertise-
ment. "I Never Bead Advertisements."
Nor Why not? There is no mr.tier in
a newspaper upon winch oa tne wnoie
there is expended more thought than the
advertisements. As a coiiseqtionoe they
are as a rule models of condensation
keen "catchy" aud often witty. They
appear ia the newspaper for the sole nnd
only purpose of making money for the
advertiser and he makes it a study how
to make them accomplish his purpose.
In 1887 there was expended for newspaper
advertising alone in this country $-5-0(10000.
In many large establishments
men are employed at large salaries to do
nothing else but prepare advertising-
matter. Shrewd and successful men of
business do not spend e uch vast sums
of money for nothing. They have some-
thing of value that people should know
and it is clear that multitudes of people
are reading theso advertisements and
profiting by the m or else this enormous
expenditure would not bo continued
year after year. As tho construction
of newspaper advertising is a complet9
atdd:stinclivo dopi'rtment of literature
whoever neglects to read the ni thiows
away a large part of tho tnest iatiresiing
instructive aud profitable matter in the
paper. Men who have made this subject
a study aro able to tell very closily by
the advertisements iu its papers the
moral aid business characteristic of
a city 'this being true intelligent peo-
ple are not wi;e whoa they pass by
as of no account matter bearing so
largely npon common interests. There is
ano'her phase? of the subject aho which
while loss ethical is yet important as a
matter of dollars and cents; viz: the
shrewdest and most onterpiising business
houses ere always advertising. Sqcu
honses aro those which always have seme-
thing attractive to offer in the way of bar-
gains in this that or the other thing ot
novelties in particular lines because their
energy and enterprise keep them con-
stantly on the alert for such advantages
over their competitors. It often follows
then that more money is saved by the in-
formation conveyed in an advertisement
some morning than in all the other mat-
ter of the newspaper for the year.
An Avaricious Man.
Why is an avaricioriK man like one with
a short memory? He is always for-getting
but the wise parent never forgets Taylor's
Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mul-
lein the cronp preventive and cough and
consumption cure.
In the savings banks of Rhode Island
the deposits amount to $52000000. The
population is a little more than 300000 so

the desposits in the savings banks alone
are aboat $177 per capita for every man
woman nnd child in tho state.
