THE COAST COUNTRY.
Prize Fights and Free Silver Are Not
Popular Subjects in Thriving
Clear Creek.
PROFITABLE BERRY PATCH.
Money Cleared by an Alvin Farmer Last
Year—The Coast Country Fair Art
Exhibit—Orange Items.
Clear CYeek, Galveston Co., Tex., Sept.
2S.—The people here are not given to the
discussion of "free silver," but instead are
"laying: their heads together" about secur-
ing a canning factory, which is badly
needed, and we hope some man having
practical knowledge and experience will
come here and work up the matter. To
such a one liberal encouragement will be
extended and assurance given of an ample
supply of raw material, fruits and vege-
tables.
Neither do we discuss the prize flght
imbroglio, but instead any citizen can put
up a good talk on fall crops, macadamized
roads, artesian wells for irrigation, and
such like topic s.
This week two separate parties, repre-
senting two distinct denominations, have
been looking over this vicinity for the loca-
tion of benevolent and educational insti-
tutions. They were well pleased and will
give favorable reports to their respective
associations.
Madame (.'ours intends putting down an
artesian well for the purpose of irrigating
fruit trees and garden truck in dry periods.
She will be the lirst one in this vicinity to
try the experiment, and her ten-acre lot
will be an object lesson, showing what
this coast country can do.
The League City baseball club proposes

month of October.

Air. Gray, the popular bookkeeper of Mr.
B. A. Smalley, Is stopping a great part
of the time at the branch lumber yard at
Dickinson, doing the rush of business
caused by the construction of the fair

It has been suggested—and it is a capital
idea—that some morning, at 110 distant day,
all the able-bodied men of League City
meet with road sorapers, plows, shovels
and hots to elear up the ditches of the
streets and roads that have become
clogged with grass and mud. In this line
Mr. G. \V. Butler has made a good com-
mencement in front of his premises along

Mr. J. S. Scott has made some improve-
ments in front of his property in the shape
of curbing and shell sidewalks.

rhe. They seem to have immigrated to
this neighborhood in great droves.
Cotton is being marketed in the seed.
Fully three-fourths of all raised in this
county will be sacked and sold to the oil
mills without being baled here and will
render it quite difficult to estimate this
year's production.

week than they had last, and better work
has been accomplished. Those who were

buildings are under contract. Property is
changing hands every day.
The new gin, with three stands, under
the careful ownership and management of
Captain S. White, is turning out from
ten to twenty bales of cotton per day.
The cotton crop will be just about half of
last year's yield. Corn is fine, selling at
25 cents, the cheapest for thirty years. In
consequence of the dry fall sweet potatoes
are not as good as usual. But few turnip
patches in the country.
THE COAST COUNTRY FAIR.
Dickinson. Galveston Co., Tex.. Sept. 28.
—To The News: The ladies of Dickinson
are very much in earnest in their desire to
make the woman's department of the Texas
coast fair a success, and feel assured that
just a little effort made by the ladies of
Galveston and Houston will insure that
success. The ladies of our little country j
towns are at work and will make a credit- |
able exhibit, considering their means of 1
doing so, but know that the ladies of the
above named cities, with their studios of
art and stores of textile fabrics, have far j
better opportunities to make a tine display
than we. And right here we want to em-
phasize the fact that this is to be a coast
country fair, ami a failure to make a suc-
cess of it will reflect 011 them as much as
us. With two such cities as Galveston and
Houston, the pride of southeastern Texas,
why can't we in time make the coast fair,
located here between them, one of the
most beautiful sites in the slate, as great
an institution for somh Texas as the Dal-
las fair * to north Texas? We are not
willing to entertain a doubt that we can.
We have a more picturesque location than
Dallas has; our buildings, we are assured,
will always be ample for any display, and
if those now being erected are not suffi-
cient they will be enlarged. In fruits and
beautitul flora of every kind we are ahead
of north Texas, and 1 take it for granted
that none of us are willing to admit that
our north Texas sisters are more enter-
prising or skillful in woman's sphere than
we. Then let us make a little effort and
show the world what the women of our
fair ccast land are capable of doing. The
Galveston lady who painted Trilby can,
without hesitation, challenge the admira-
tion of the art critics, besides others too
numerous to mention, and we sincerely
hope they will notify our Mrs. Sampson,
chairman of the art committee, of a gener-
ous contribution of their beautiful speci-
mens of art.
We appeal to every woman to contribute
something, and if they lespond. as we hope
they will, the success of the woman's de-
partment is already assured.
MRS. J. L. MAYO.
ALVIN.
/^Alvin, Brazoria Co., Tex., Sept. 27,—The
White line transfer nine of Houston and
the Alvins crossed bats at tl\e Alvin park
this afternoon. The result stood 26 to 11 In
favor of the Alvins.
G. H. Cook is considered the most j^ie-
cessful strawberry grower in this secnon,
and it is a pleasure to visit his farm. His
yard is densely shaded wifh the umbrella
China, and the cool, refreshing shade in-
vites one to rest. But Mr. Cook is always
found in his berry patch, where he spends
his time, and the result of his work is
shown in the acres of green, thrifty plants,
promising a heavy yield next season. Three
years ago Mr. Cook had the best returns
ever reported here—$lsnu from three acres.
On March 17 last year he picked 1(XK> quarts
from one acre, and his returns, clear of
freight and commissions, from that day's
work was $192. On that night came a heavy
frost and ruined 'the berry crop for the
next few weeks. Most of this .HI800 was
realized prior to March 17. Had not this
freeze came Mr. Cook says he would have
made $1000 per acre. His pear orchard is
above the average and shows up finely.
For his twenty-six acres he has refused
$6000, and says it will take $10,000 to buy
him out. The coast country needs more
such men as Mr. Cook—men who will go *to
work and do Something and not sit around
and whine about hard times.
The Baptists are holding their fifth Sun-
day service at their new church here. Quite
a number of preachers and visitors are
present. This is a service peculiar to the
Baptist church. The fifth Sunday being an
off Sunday, is set apart for special service
and is appointed for a certain church, and
all who can attend from the churches
within that association, where they dis-
cuss church polity, questions of theology
and devise ways and means for ministerial
work. To-morrow the visiting preachers
are invited to till the several pulpits. J.
M. McGlnty of this place was elected mod-
erator and J. C. Midyett secretary. The
following ministers and laymen are pres-
ent: L. Elledge, C. C. Waller, L. M. Dun-
can, Houston; J. F Dobbs, Hempstead; M.
T. Priddy, Needville; C. T. Sanders, Sealy;

THE GOLIN WILL CASE.
The Golin will case was to have come
up in the county court this afternoon, and
as a result there were a number of per-
sons in the court room to hear the testi-
mony, but it was continued by agreement
of both sides. The time for the hearing
has been fixed for the next term of the
court. Judge M. F. Kleberg was here to
represent the natural heirs residing in
Germany of Mrs. Sophia Golin.
In the county court a bond has been
filed by H. Masterson, as principal, with
James R. Masterson and L. M. Disney as
sureties, to release the Golin estate from
-the administration of J. 11. Pruett. The
bond sets forth that H. Masterson is the
owner of the estate in question and should
be accorded the privilege of managing his
own property.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
To-night an attempt to assassinate Mr.
George Davis of the Fifth ward was made

the head almost knocked him down. Bare-
ly had he recovered himself when a knife
clashed through his shirt and vest. A
struggle ensued in which Davis had his
clothing cut and he saved himself by flight
and calling for help. Efforts will be made
to catch the assailant.

Peculiar
In combination, proportion and process,
Hood's Sarnaparilla possesses peculiar
curative powers unknown to any other
preparation. This is why it has a record
of cures unequalled in the history of
medicine. It acts directly upon the blood
and by making it pure, rich and healthy
it cures disease and gives good health.
Hood's Sarsapariila
Is the only true blood puritier prominent-
ly in the public eye today. If 1; six for {5.
Hood's Pills
You can carry
the little vial of
Dr. Pierce's Pleas-
ant Pellets right
in the vest-pocket
of your dress suit,
and it will not
make even a little
lump. The " Pel-
lets ~ - smalt
that 4." 1;« 44 of
them i»«> in a vial
scarcely more than
an inch long, and
as bi^ round as a
lead pencil.
They cure con-
stipation.
One "Pellet"
is a laxative ; two
a mild cathartic.
One taken after
dinner will stimu-
late digestive action and palliate
the effects of over-eating. They
act with gentle efficiency on stom-
ach, liver and bowels. They don't
do the work themselves. They
simply stimulate the natural action
of the organs themselves. That
is where they differ from all other
pills. That is what makes them
better than all other pills. You
don't Income a slave to their use as
with other pills, because their help
lasts. Once used, they are always
in favor.
IMI'TIOX.—I)r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets-
it's an easy name to rene.mber. Don't let a de-
signing druggist talk you into " something just
as good."' lie make -; more money on the "just
n.5 good" kind. That's why he would rather
sell them. Thai's why you had better not take
them.
