Well, New \ork state could be dropped
down in the middle of it and there
would be room enough left around
the edges for New England to find a

As £or such a state as New Jersey,
you could roll it up in Dakota like a

would seem in the comparison hardly
bigger than a Colorado beetle in a

Bah! Talking about f-tates, why
you could dnmp Dakota, New York

still have territory enough left to
place a state larger than Delaware
between us and blizzards and "awful

The Immigration Convention which
has for its object the attracting of im-
migration to the South, meets in
Montgomery, Alabama on the 12th of
next month. It is a matter of great
importance to the whole South-and it
would be an excellent thing for
Shackelford county if we could have
a delegate to represent us in the con-
vention. No section could render a
better showing than this. General
Cameron, Commissioner of Immigra-
tion for the Panhandle route will be
there, and it would be a good idea
for us to have some one present from
this part of Texas. This convention
had its origin in Texas. It was first
suggested by our Commissioner of
Immigration, and he acting with the
Commissioners of other States, called
the convention to meet at Mont-
gomery as a central Southern point.
The advertising committee informs
us that the governors of the Southern
States have appointed a full list of
delegates and the attendance prom-
ises to be very large. The citizens of
Montgomery are doing all in their
power to make the convention a suc-
cess. The passenger rate on all rail-
roads will be one fare for the round
trip from all points. The sale of
tickets will begin Dec. 10th, and
tickets will be good till Jan. 5th,

ple to call and see for themselves.

A Lesson tor a Dude.
A quee load of cattle has arrived
at Garden City, Kansas, in the shape
of a her<; of eighty-three buffaloes.
The herd is the famous one raised by
Warden Benson of Stony Mountain,
Nor.hwesi, territory, since 1877, from
a ycung bull and four heifers. They
havi been: bought by C. J. Jones of
Gar« en < ity, Kansas, who has for
sorn< years been making a special
Stud t 3 buffalo, and has at pres-
t.i.i, ii uam about fifty on his ranch
in Kansas. He began crossing them
with cattle, i<nd his experiments have
neon successful, the half-breed buffalo
being a hardy and striking animal,
while 1 <3ss wild in nature. The
raising o the bison has become a
profitub? brtjiness, too, as 60 cents
per pound >or buffalo meat can be
obtain, u ii Chicago. Cattle raisers
evfflfj'Whec ire watching the Jones
experiment- with much interest.
Bison, in tTieir wild state, are now al-
most, nnkno \ n, a fact which makes the
attempt to domesticate and perpetuate
the species 11 the more interesting.
London World.—The name of Har-
ry Oakes is not yet forgotton in the
army—a bluff, straiglit-spoken soldier
who some twenty years ago command-
ed the Twelfth Lancers. This is
how he dealt with the point now so
much at issue. A young officer com-
plained that while in plain clothes a
certain soldier had not soluted him.
The soldier's excuse was that he had
not recognized the officer.
"I'll take care you can't make
that excuse in future," quote Col.
Oakes. "Mr. ,you will walk up
and down the barrack-square in plain
clothes until Private is satisfied
that he would know you again."
The private gave the oflicer a ben-
efit of about half an hour, and all he
conceded then was his ability to re-
cognize the former, in the suit he then
wore.
"If you are not ratisfied," said the
Colonel, you will appearinthe square
for ten minutes in each civilian suit
you own, and whenever you get a new
suit you will do the same, and let
Private know."
The young oflicer never complained
again of not getting what he consider-
ed his proper due in the matter of
salutes.
The next day he dashed suddenly into
the yard and attacked a large dog
lying near the door savagely with his
clenched fists. A vigorous tussle
ensued, the dog bitting the man and
the man bitting the dog. Spears
finally got the dog's tongue in his
mouth, bit it off and chewed it up.
He then rushed frantically out upon
the public road and attacked Mr.
Henry, a neighbor, who was riding
by, bit him twice on the leg and tried
to drag him from his horse. Mr
Henry yelled lustily for assistance and
neighbors came to his rescue and suc-
ceeded in throwing a rope around the
neck of the madman and pinioning
him so that he could do no further
harm. The cause of his madness is
unknown.

It is customary in Albany when a
pleasant young lady visited here for
the youngr gentlemen to make it as
pleasant for her as they could, and
then one of them would in a short
time after she returned home, go
after her and bring her back. If this
good custom is adheared to as it
should be, we expect to see a young
gentleman take the train for Missouri
in a short time. Who is going?
If you want to save money buy
your goods from us we will save you
from five to fifteen per cent, straight
through on whatever goods you need
in our line.

A dispatch from Gainesville says :
William Spears, a farmer living in
Walnut Bend, this (Cooke) county,
was to-day examined by a jury and
pronounced insane, and he will be
taken to the asylum at Terrell.
Spears is about 38 years of age and
has a wife and seven children and
has always been highly esteemed by
his neighbors. About ten days ago
he showed signs of mental aberration
for the first time. He went to a
number of his neighbors and asked
them to come and sit up with him.
They did as requested and he behaved
very strangely, but was not violent.
Mr. Ed:—There is nothing more
cheering to the heart of the itinerant
than to meet with a warm hearted re-
ception upon the part of his people.
On returning to serve them another
year. Such was the experience of
this scribe and hii family on returning
from conference. The membership
of the church and Sunday school,
with many members of the other
churches and various persons of no
church membership assembled at the
residence of a neighbor and in due
time, headed by Bro. L. M. Keener
the Sunday school superintendent
proceeded to the parsonage. The
parlor and other rooms were a little
crowded to be sure, but the evening
was passed in pleasant entertain
ments, such as songs, instrumental
music, recitations &c. Just at the
right time suitable refreshments were
served by the conspirators of the occa-
sion, when time for adjournment ar-
rived we resolved the whole into a
happy family and conducted suitable
worship. Eevery member of the fam-
ily was remembered with suitable
articles among others being a .$10
check, a $5 bill, a twenty pound tur-
key, and a^ nice case of drugs for
family use.
