J. G. RAINER.
NEW GOODS RECEIVED EACH WEEK.
The New YorK Herald says: "We
doubt ii any protion of the globe
has struck such a gait as the south
since the civil war. Previous to
1860 it had. practically a single
product, cotton, but in late years its
enterprise has shown itself in a
hundred directions. The rivalry
between the north and south is now
of the riarM kind to develop mutual
good will, national unity and the
prosper 6y which saves a penny for
the r?iny day."
T/ the supreme court of the Unit-
ed States had been disposed to do
its duty promptly to the nation it
could have given us some impert-
ant decisions before the election.
In the first place it could have told
us whether Neely is to go to Cuba
to stand trial. Then again it could
have thrown light on the question
of whether the constitution is fol-
lowing the flag. Both these ques-
tions were set for a date subsequent
to the election.
Greater 'than affl other wants is
the world's want of men. Men who
are not for sale. Men who are hon-
est, sound from center to circum-
ference, true to the heart's core.
Men who fear the iiOrd and covet-
ousness. Men who will condemn
wrong in friend or foe, in them-
selves as well as in others. Men
whose conscience is as steady as
the needle to tho pole. Men who
will stand for the right if the heav
ens totter and the earth reels.
Men who will tell the truth and
look the world a id the devil right
in the eye. Meu who neither brag
nor run, swagger nor flinch, who
have courage without whistling for
it and joy/ without shouting to
bring it. /Men in whom the cur-
rent of everlasting life runs still
and deep and strong, careful of
G„od's honor and careless of man's
applause, too large for sectarianism
Sand too strong for political cabals.
Men who do not strive, nor cry nor
cause their voices to be heard in
the streets, but who will hot fail
nor be discouraged till judgment is
set in the earth, who Know their
message and tell it, who know their
duty and do it, who Know their
place and fill it, who mind their I
own business, who will not lie, who
are not too lazy to worK nor too
proud to be poor. Men who are
willing to eat what they have
earned and wear what they have
paid for, who Know whom they
believed, whose feet are on the
everlasting rock, who are not
ashamed of their hope, who are
strong with divine strength;, wise
with the wisdom that cometh from
above, and loving with the love of
Christ—men of God.—Ex.
state, all depend u|
purity of character.
Drunkenness destr Xs ,^he moral
sensibilities, benumbs "he intellect and
impairs the qualifications of anY man
or woman for any and all of the avoca-
tions and professions iiTjife. So p^a^n
are these facts that drunkards do
find employment in responsible posi-
tions where property, honor and hu-
man life are at stake.
Young men, beware, and do not let
the doubtful infiuencefof intoxicating
liquors blight your life,ruin your char-
acter and destroy your souls.
A. S. G.
Our soldiers in China seem to have
been smarter than ajjiy of the others
and made a rush for the "bullion."
That's the advantage Vf being trained
up under a government that makes
the dollar an object of concern rather
than the purity of the flag.
The new service recently put on by
the Houston & Texas Central enables
the Houston Post to reach north Texas
the same day it is printed. This
means a largely increased circulation
for the Post, which ltt merit as a live,
up-to-date newspaj: ally deserves.
THE DYE IS CAST.
Kruger is on his way to Prance
and Russia and will appeal to the
powers to save his republic from
England's clutches, but it will
avail nothing. The South African
republics are doomed. They have
failed to observe the simplest and
long established rules of civiliza-
tion, levying oppressive taxation
without representation, and the re-
volt on the part of the English
speaking people was bound to come.
An exchange fires the following
at kickers: "If there was an ice
cold lemonade spring in every gar-
den, if bread grew on sunflower
stales and every blade of grass was
tipped with 010 bills, a certain
class of cranks woulp hick because
there were no sticks in the lemon-
ade, no butter or preserves oe the
bread and because the grass did not
produce $20 instead of 10."

ness. Money is wasted, timt? is lost,
business honor and character are ru-
ined, and crime, misery, death and
hell is the final doom of the drunk-
ard.
Drunkenness disqualifies a man for
business, for society, for positions of
trust and honor, for peace and happi-
ness in this world, and for heaven and
eternal bliss after death.
The picture can not be drawn too
bad; the sin of drunkenness can not
be exaggerated. The fearful conse-
quences cannot be too strongly repre-
sented to the young nor the timely
admonitions too frequently given.

interest in said land vested in defendants by
reason of the non-record of said lost con-

vested in plaintiff, that tbi cloud over plain-
