M Railroad prospects begin to assume
huge proportions-
Thk Cisco Roundup has returned
to its first love—the patent inside.
The CattlemeiTS Convention at Fort
Worth was the biggest thing of the
season.
The Spring Palace earnestly re-
quests that this county have an exhib-
it there.
Wheat is all the talk in Western
Texas. No wonder; it leads in this
capacity.
It is predicted that several rail
roads will cross this county ere the
close of the present year.
What is the Cattle Trail It. It. do-
ins? Hurry up, gentlemen, or your
field will be covered by another line.
This is the county for farmers to
locate in. Do not invest until you
have looked over some of its beauti-
ful lands. ,
Thk first year of the Harrison ad-
ministration has closed, and one nat-
urally looks around to see what has
been accomplished, and is compelled
to auswer: nothing worthy of even a
single line in the history of the count-
ry. The year has been devoted most-
ly to removing democrats from office
and settleing disputes among republi-
cans as to which of them should be fed
at the public crib.
It would take a pretty long chapter
to give in detail the many farm im-
provements that have been made in
this vicinity within the past year. The
roads, too, while by no means perfect,
are considerably better. The tenden-
cy of our farming community is to
push steadily ahead as fast as thoir
circumstances will permit, recognizing
the importance of improvements, both
individually and collectively.
Secretary Reagan utterd a sound
truth, and one that is worthy of the
most careful consideration when in
opposing a bill to increase the pension
of a general's widow to $100 a month,
ho said: "Instead of this Government
being one of the people for the people
and by the people, it is rapidly becom-
ing a Government of the classes for
the classes and by the classes." This
is a true bill, there is entirely too much
class legislation in this country, and
it is on the increase all the time, and it
remains for the people to stop it. Now
they have the power, but if the inter
ference is delayed too long the clases
will be stronger than the people.
"I always make it a point," re
marked a manufacturer the other day,
"to reply to every communication of a
business nature addressed to me. It
dosen't matter what it is about, pro
vided only that it is couched in civil
language. I do this because courtesy
requires that I should; but aside from
that, I find also that it is good policy
Time and again in my life I have been
reminded by newly secured customers
that I was remembered through corre
spondence opened with me years be-
fore, and many orders have come to
me through this passing and friendly
acquaintance with people. On the
other hand, I have known plenty of
business men whose disrespectful
treatment of correspondence has beeu
bitterly remembered and repaid with
compound interest. Silence is the
meanest and moat contemptuous way
of treating anybody who wishes to be
beard and to hear, and resentment is
its answer every time."

KISING SUN HAPPENINGS.
There is no better sign to the eye of
an old Texan that joyous spring, with
her furbelows, curls and flounces, is
just over the hill and coming this way
than to see the frame of an old Texas
cow, with just enough life left in it to
afford light to her sad-looking eyes
standing on the shady side in a rapt
brown study over the green grass that
will be hero by and by, when right in
tho midst of this fanciful reverie the
heel tly gets in one touch of his busi-
ness end just above the water line of
her hoofs and below her dew claws ;
tlisn her head and tail go up as by
magic, and the move she gets on is not
a* curvey and graceful as that of a
town belle at a country dance, but
what it lacks in being rounded off with
beautiful weli-seti periods and willowy
made up ia an
Brightly shines the suu, merrily
sings the birds, while early the plow
turns soil that surrounds Rising Sun.
Garden seeds are sown, corn is being
planted, and cotton ground being pre-
pared. Every thing bids success to the
tiller of the soil, and with good season
he will reap an abundant harvest.
Mrs. Stacy Hill is visiting her sis-
ter, Mrs. Peter Harvey, and will re-
main about three mouths.
Itev. Wood preachcd for us again
last Friday night.
Rev. Wells will preach for us the
fourth Saturday and Sunday.
Rev. Harvey will preach next Sab-
bath. This gives us preaching every
Sunday iu the month except the fifth.
Our school will continue a month
longer than was expected.
Mr. John Murphy was very badly
cut. by his horses running into a wire
fence last Monday night. It was
thought that his leg would have to be
amputated; but he is slowly improv-
ing now.
Mrs. Bragg is still confined to her
bed and has been for the last three
weeks with catarrhal fever and grippe.
We have just received the sad news
of the death of Mr. Clint Oldhan, one of
our good neighbors, who moved from
this place to Arizona last year. He
had many warm friends here, and all
regret to hear of his death.
Rumor says that two of Rising
Sun's young men are to marry in the
near future. Hope they will ; as wed-
dings are as searce as hen's teeth in
this neighborhood.
A malicious person in a community
is like poison in the human system.
We are glad to see that the Pan-
American Congress will make a tout-
through the Southern States.
'Itcn'L'
How to Get Along.
Pay as you go.
Never "fool" iu business matters.
Learn to think and act for yourself
Do not kick ever one in your path.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories iu business
hours.
Use your brains rather than those of
others.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
A man of honor respects his wold
as he does his bond.
If you have a place be found there
when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting in
shops and bar-rooms.
Learn to say no. No necesity of
snapping it out dog-fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.
Help others when you can, but nev-
er give what you cannot afford, simp-
ly because it is fashionable.
It is time that the Indian question
should be set at rest forever. The
recent movement on the part of the
Apache rcngades shows that they
should be placed somewhere where they
would not be a barrier to the progress
of civilization. Sentiment is one
thing, but it does not bring to lifo the
wives ami eiulren slain by the red-
skins.

LA GRIPPE—A FEW POINTERS.
The feet should be kept dry and
warm, the body well clothed and care
used to avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular
and persons physically weak should
take quinine to koep up the vitality.
With these precautions and a free
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
cure is certain. That is unequalled
for a severe cold and this disease re-
quires precisely the same treatment.
