VEGETINE
FOR DROPSY.
I never shall
Forgot tho first Dose.
Providence.
Mr. H. R. Stevens:—
Dear Sir,—I have been a great sufferer
from dropsy. I was confined to my house
more than a year. Six months of the
time I was entirely helpless. I was oblig-
ed to have two men help me in and out
of bed. I was swollen 19 inches larger
*han my natural size around my waiat I
suffered all a man could and live. I tried
all remedies for Dropsy. I had three dif-
ferent doctors. My friends all expected I
would die: many nights I was expected
to die before morning. At lastVegetine
was sent me by a friend. I never shall
forget the first dose. I could realize its
good effects from day to day j I was get-
ting better. After I had taken some five
or six bottles I could sleep quite well
nights. I began to gain now quite fast.
After taking some ten bottles, I could
walk from one part of my room to the
other. My appetite was good; the drop-
sy had at this time disappeared. I kept
taking the Vegetine until I regained my
usual health. I heard of a great many
cures by using Vegetine after I got out
and was able tu attend to my work. I
am a carpenter and builder. I will also
say it has cured an aunt of my wife's of
Neuralgia, who had suffered for more
than twenty years. She says she has not
had any neuralgia for eight months. I
have given t to one of my children for
Canker Humor. I have no doubt in my
mind it will cure any humor; it is a great
cleanser of the blood; it is safe to give a
child . I will recommend it to the world.
My father is eighty years old, and he
says there is nothing like it to give
strength and life to an aged person. I
cannot be too thankful for the use of it.
I am, Very gratefully yours,
JOHN S. NOTTAGE.
All Diseases of the Blood.—If Veg-
etine will relieve pain j cleanse, purify,
ar.d cure such diseases, restoring the pa-
tient to perfect health after trying differ-
ent physicians, many remedies and suf-
fering for years, is it not conclusive proof,
if you are a sufferer you can be cured ?
Why is this medicine performing such
great rures? It works in the blood, in the
circulating fluid. It can truly be called
the Great Blood Purifier. The great
source of disease originates in the blood :
and no medicine that does not act direct-
ly upon it, to purify and renovate, has
any just claim upon public attention.
VEGETINE.
I Owe My Iloalth
TOYOUE VALUABLE
VEGETINE.
Newport, Ky., April 29, 1877.
Mr. H. R. Stevens :—
Dear Sir,—Having suffered from a
breaking out of Cankerous Sores for
more than five years, caused by an acci-
dent of a fractured bone, which fracture
ran into a running sore, and having used
every thing I could think of and nothing
helped me, until I had taken six bottles of
your valuable medicine which Mr. Miller
the apothecary recommended very high-
ly. The sixth bottle cured me, and all I
can say, is that I owe iny health to your
valuable Vegetine.
Your most obedient servant,
ALBERT VON ROEDER.
" It is not necessary for meto enumerate
the disease for which the Vegetine
should be used. I know of no disease
which will not admit of its use, with good
results. Almost innumerable complaints
are caused by poisonous secretions in
thu blood, which can be entirely expelled
from the system i>y the use of the Vege-
tine. When the blood is perfectly
cleansed, the disense rapidly yields; all
pains cease; healthy action is promptly
restored, and the patient is cured."

Da. H. R. Stevens :—
Dear Sir,—I was seriously troubled
with Kidney Complaint lor a lon^ time.
I have consulted the best doctors in this
city. I have used your Vegetine for
this disense, and it has curcd me when
the doctors failed to do so.

The First Stage Going West on
the Fort Worth and Fort Yuma
Lino is Bobbed Twenty-five
Miles West of Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Democrat.
The first stage coach which left
this city on its way to Fort Yuma,
last Monday, was intercepted by
swollen streams between here and
Granbury, and at thiee o'clock Tues-
day afternoon had only made the
distance of twenty-five miles from
this city, and was within ten miles
of Granbury, on the open prairie,
when two masked men suddenly
bounced down on them, one of
whom held and guarded the horses
with a cocked Winchester, while
the other, with a cocked six-shooter,
surprised the passengers by appear-
ing at the door and ordering them
out. They complied, and allowed
these gentlemen to go through their
pockets without resistance. The
passengers numbered thirteen in
all, among whom were Col,
Chidester, and his son, and
also Capt. Alexander, of Austin.
The robbers were only rewarded
with a " pull" amounting to less
than twenty-five dollars.
They made a successful escape af-
ter accomplishing the work in hand
and expressing evident disgust at the
small " pile" captured.
The stage made rapid time to
Granbury, where the alarm was
given and the sheriff of Hood county,
with a posse of citizens, started in
pursuit at once, spreading out in all
directions of the compass. They
are reported as being on their trail.
Five men, on last Sunday, made in-
quiry at the station just this side of
Granbury, at what time the stage
coach would arrive. It is supposed
that these are the robbers, three of
whom were probably hid close by,
out of sight, while the other two did
the heavy work.
It is strongly suspected that none
other than Sanf Bass and his gang
were the robbers, although it has
not been confirmed.
Wonder what the fate of that
j stage coach will be when it reaches
' the other end of its 1,600 mile trip.
A Hotol and Three Picauinnies
Cremated.
Victoria, July 3.—The Taylor
House at Goliad took fire last night,
about eleven o'clock, and was totally
destroyed. Three negro cnildren,
sleeping in the kitchen were burned.
The building was one of the largest
hotels in west Texas, and was just
opened to the public last season.
Loss, $8,000 to $10,000. No insur-
ance.
Tho
Surratt Murder—Bonn Pit*
man's Opinion-
Since the publication of Mr. Tohn
T. Ford's statement of the Surratt
case, Mr. Bean Pitman, the well
known phonographic author of Cin-
cinnati, and who was the official
stenographer at the trial of Mrs.
Surratt, has given to the public his
opinion based upon a careful exami-
nation of all the evidence that came
before.the court:
In an interview with a correspond-
ent of the New York Herald, he
proclaims his full belief in the Ford
statement that Mrs. Surratt, though
a party to the plot to abduct the Pres-
ident, was entirely innocent of his
assassination. Mr. Pitman attri-
butes the grave blunders in the as-
sassination trial to Mr, Stanton's per-
sistent belief in the theory he had
constructed that Booth was the ac-
tive instrument in a great conspitacy j
which was controlled bv and under 1
the influence of the Confederate gov-
ernment. The greatness of this
imaginary conspiracy was sufficient,
in Mr. Pitman's opinion, to throw
not only Stanton and Judge Advo-
cate Holt, but everybody engaged
in the trial, off their balance, and he
now declares that there was no di-
rect testimony which tended to im-
plicate Mrs. Surratt save that of the
drunken, untrustworthy witness,
Lloyd, who kept the tavern at Sur-
rattsvilie.
Novel Cure for Snako Bites.
Willie Baker, a son of W. R. Ba-
ker, of Harris county, wns bitten by
a moccasin snake, one of the most
venomous kind. In a few moments
the father lighted a shuck from an
ear of corn, and held the blaze
above, but near the wound on the
boy's leg, about half way from the
knee to the ankle. The fire drew
the poison from the boy's leg, and
he scrapcd it off with his knife, and
afterwards applied a poultice of
clay for an hour or two, which fin-
ished the cure.
Press Notices of Prof. LaUronoo
W. Scott.
"As a debater Elder Scott has but*fcw

"Dr Scott has great reputation as a di-
alectician."—Round Rock Headlight.
"Elder Scdtt is one of the ablest minis-
ters of his denomination."—Honey Grove
Independent.
•'Divino Origin of the Bible.
"Elder Laurence W. Scott will lecture
at the Presbyterian church Sunday night
on the above subject. Elder Scott has
made a favorable reputation in Texas as
a religious debater. Two or threw years
ago he locked horns in debate with Mr.
Peterson, editor of Common Sense, which
was without doubt one of the most interest-
ing and closely contested controversies of
the kind ever held in the State. He had
an appointment with Dr Russell, of Bell
county, but that horse whipping scrape
in which the Doctor was the victim, led
to its indefinite postponement. We have
no doubt the church will be crowded Sun-
day night."—Denison Daily News.
"The Presbyterian church was crowded
last night to listen to the lecture of Elder
L. W. Scott, on the Divine origin of the
Bible.
"We have no doubt but the audience
was surprised with the lecturer, as there
is nothing prepossessing nor striking in
his appearance. He is a retired and quiet
spoken man; as guarded in his utteranc-
es as he is positive; relying mainly upon
his deep and honest convictions of the
truth of his position for strength to com-
bat the great foe to the christian religion,
atheism.
"He spoke one hour and ten minutes
to an attentive audience. He said in sub-
stance that there were a number of lines
of argument which could be fol'owed to
prove the Divine origin of the Bible, but
he would confine himself to one, viz:
The analogy between Nature and the Bi-
ble. They were analogous in that nei-
ther the student of nature nor of the Bi-
ble ever mastered the subjects; they were
analogous in simplicity, in profundity,
and in their adaptation to man. His po-
sitions were well taken and his arguments
logical, simple and convincing. He has
mastered the subject; is firm in his con-
victions and would proye a stubborn op-
ponent to the advance of atheism.
"The closing of his argument was very
impressive."—Denison Daily Herald. .
"Elder Scott evinces an ability as a
theologian that is seldom attained by men
of his age."—Ladonia Courier.
"Rev. Laurence W. Scott is delivering
a series of lectures on Christian Evidenc-
es at the M. E. Church in Belton, to large
and appreciative audiences. All who
hear him are very much interested."—
Helton Journal
"Those lectures are highly commended
bv the press of the State."—Sherman
Courier.
"Able lectures, and undenomination-
al."—Austin Statesman.
"Profound, masterly and convincing."
—Delta County Record.
"Elder Scott, the able theological rea-
soner, was raised at Morgantown, Va."—
Darnesville (Ohio) Enterprise.
"We had a tussle with Mr. Scott, and
we know him to be a perfect gentleman
in debate, and a far better logician and
advocate of the general doctrines and
evidences of Christianity than parson
Ditzler is or ever was—-even in his palm-
iest days."—Common Sense.
"The debate in Paris on Infidelity, re-
sulted in putting its advocates to the
blush. Rev. Laurence W. Scott was tri-
umphant in his defense of Chiistianity.
We have an interesting account of it,
which appears in to-day's paper."—Dal-
las Religious Messenger.
"The late debate between Dr. Stine of
Kansas, and Mr. Scott, on the Christian
Theology, created quite an excitement.
Mr. J. B. Daniel writes an account of it
for the Religious Messenger."—Galves-
ton jVexvs.
The Religious Messenger is now
known as tne Texas Baptist. Elder
J. B. Daniel was a corresponding ed-
itor and pastor of the Baptist church
at Paris. Here are a few extracts
from his description of the debate:
" Mr. Scott sustained himself and his
propositions nobly. He did much better
than even his most sanguine triends ex-
pected. He possesses two ot the esential
qualifications of a good debater in a re-
markable degree, viz: perfect self-posses-
sion and a readiness to use everything he
knows and turn everything his opponent
says against him. girt
the fourth night came and Dr. Stine was
in the affirmative, so he proceeded to
make his first speech, in which he en-
deavored to display a great deal of learn-
ing and critical knowledge. This gave
Mr. Scott an opportunity to expose his
(Stine's) ignorance of the Hebrew and
Greek languages, which he did with such
clearness, force and crushing power that
th-; Doctor could not *tand it. He found
out to his astonishment and utter dismay
that he had caught a ' Tartar,' and it bit
him. Mr. Scott's exposure of him was
so crushing that he * flew the track,' as
Captain Miner, the piincipal Moderator
expressed it."
"This whole debate has reminded me
more of the uncircumcised Philistine,
Goliah, and the stripling Israelite Dayid,
than anything ever witnessed. Dr. Stine
came all the way from Kansas down to
Texas to defy the armies of the living
God. But Mr. Scott, a mere stripling,
(for he is young in years and looks,) met
him in the open field, and with a little
slick Hebrew stone, the first verse of the
bible, he knocked hts brains out, and with
the Greek sword, stauroo, to crucify, he
cut his head off and gave it to the people.
In my opinion David's victory over Go-
liah was not more complete and triumph-
ant than Mr. Scott's was over Dr. Stine."
"Mr. Scott deserves a great deal of
credit. He has made himself what he is
by his own efforts and perseverance. He
has greatly endeared himself to al 1 the
lovers of the Bible and religion in Paris,
whether christians or sinners. May he
live long tu (Jcfend the Bible and Christi-
anity is my prayer. J. B. Daniel."

The next census, to be taken in
1880, will reveal, in a strong light,
the steady shifting of political pow-
er from the East to the West. The
growth of our own State will be
shown to have been most remarka-
ble, giving us a large increase in
representation in Congress, and this
at the expense of the East, whose
political importance is steadily wan-
ing. The population of Texas is
now estimated at 2,000,000, and ks
annual increase by emigrat'on is not
far from 250,000, quite likely larger.
But notwithstanding this steady in-
flux, the increase is scarcely noticed,
owing to the immensity of our do-
main. We nave a State with an
area nearly five times as large as
that oi Pennsylvania, or 274.356
square miles. In 1S50 the popula-
tion ol Texas was only 212,592 ; in
2860, 604,215 ; in 1S70, 818,579.
An Infant Wondor.
A great musical prodigy in the
person of a little four year-old boy
arrived in this city, over the M., K+
& T. from the south, Friday night,
accompanied by bis mother, who is
the widow of a late conductor on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road. The boy's name is Eddy
Pollack, the son of Mrs. Jane Pol-
lack. He knows over one hundred
songs, and sings them to perfection.
His voice is finely modulated, and as
clear as a bell. Unlike most o£ the:
prodigies, he is brilliant in every-
thing. If a song is once repeated
to him, no matter how long it may
be, he will remember every word of
it, and only has to hear a song once
to catch the air of it. His mother
had been visiting a sister at Fort
Sill, the wife of an army officer, and
little Eddy entertained the passen-
gers with his songs from the time he
got on the train until he got off. He
gave an exhibition of his wonderful
(lowers at the Garrison House par-
or yesterday morning before leaving
and attracted a large crowd. He is
truly a wonder and his voice will
make him a fortune if he does not
break it down.—Sedalia Democrat.
WHAT DOES
IT AMOUNT TO?
Whether we talk to you In letters as big
as a yard stick, or only in small readable
letttrs. What does it amout to? If we
advertise we will close out all summer
goods on account of room, what will that
amount to? If we advertise such and
such goods at such and such prices,
and when you come you find old prices,
what does it amount to ?
EVERYTHING WITHIN REA-
SON!
We do not close out our entire summer
stock regatdiets of cost. On the contra-
ry we receive new goods every day, and
expect to sell them before the season
closes. We do giye baits, but every time
in something^ else, therefore make use of
the opportunity.
How is it that we sell more goods than
any other house of our size? Surely not
on account of our good looks, but because
WE SELL VERY CHEAP 1
Our permanent eastern buyer has bought
for us at auction for net cash, a large
lot of white and figured corded piques,
