And now Austin is talking 0f
a slaughter house and refrigera-
tor. Indue time every town
of importance will have one.
A life sized portait ot Presi-
dent Arthur has been painted
by a distinguished artist and
will be hung in the White
House. The people of course
will pay for it.
Out of thirty-eight states
twenty-five have democratic
adminstrations. This . looks
very favorably lor a grand dem-
ocratic victory in the next
presidential election.
It has been decided by Ad-
jutant-general Drum that a man
who once deserts the army is
always a deserter and that no
lapse of time cures the infrac-

made farmers being robbed Jack county
in the vicinity of the larger \ xe-cuttinj
towns in Texas. In most cases
they have sold cotton and are
on their way home. There is
much sameness in these rob-
beries; the farmer is usually
met by two or more young
men mounted on fleet horses;
he is ordered to halt; villainous
six-shooters, of appalling pro-
portions, were cocked and pre-
sented at the head of the far-
mer, who is politely invited to
surrender the proceeds of his
cotton. The highwaymen are
sure to get the drop on him,and
if he is easily intimidated, he
has no hesitation in giving up
his money. The highwayman,
in reality, takes no chances ; he
is at heart a base coward, and
usually in the pursuit of his
avocation, he works under the
cover of the darkness. High
waymen of this character do
not make a regular business of
this species of robbery; they
cutting have died.

tells the legislature that they

those they already have are

Jacksonville, Fla., claims to
have fewer "oldest inhabitants"

Near Oatmansville, Travis
