"Public Opinion" fur 18th iu- j
stant contains pevrr.il well select- j
ed aiticlea on the lumber and iron !
industries, and on manufacturing I
in the eouth. An extract from
tho St. Paul Pionoer Press show.-} !
that the yellow pine lumber of
the south is becoming a formidable
rival of the white pine mills of the
Northern »nd Kastern states and
of thoi<o of Michigan, Wisconsin
and •Minnesota. In ISHO the |
Southern pii.o producing states
contained long leaved pine esti-
mated in fee In of lumber as fol-
lows
Georgia, 17,000,000,1 KM) fWt,
Louisiana, '27,0(X),000,000 feet;
North Carolina, ">,000 l"HK>,(X30 feet;
Mississippi, 17,000,000,000 feet;
Alabama, 22,000,< n K),(K RJ feet;
Texas. 70,000,0( >0,000 feet, long
and s^oit leaved; Florida, 7,0X
0(X),(XX) feet, long and short leav-
ed; Arkansas, 42,000,000,000 feet,
long and short leaved.
Texas, it will be seen, leads in
lumber as phe is doing in cotton
and cattle.
The iron developement in the
south in the last few years has
been marvelous.
Tho New York Tribune says
that in 1880 tho southern states
produced only 307,301 tons, and
1888 they produced 1,132,858
tons. All other states produced
in 1880, 3,898,113 tons aud in
1888, 6,064,348 tons, all of 2000
pounds each. Thus while other
states increased in their production
over fifty per cent, in eight years
the southern states added about
730,000 tons more, again of nearly
100 per cent.
The New Orleans Picayune con-
cludes that from present indica-
tions, the bulk of cotton goods
manufactured in the United States
will, at no distant day, be manu-
factured in the south, and instan-
ces as a favorable sign the mani-
fest tendency shown by eastern
manufacturers to change the loca-
tion of their establishments from
their present situations to points
in the south.
Study for Shylaoks.
Take away the social part of
life and it is hardly worth the liv-
ing. Men who have no thoughts
above and live in the world mere- .
ly to couut dollars and cents, sel- '
dora gather many mourners about j
them when they die. It is well |
enough to accumulate worldly |
goods, but there is something else i
to live for away from the rude !
clamor for gain. The highest
aim in life for pleasure lies in the
developement of the mind, for the
beauties anil glories that educa-
tion brings, make a poor man
rich. The pleasure of money are
restless and uncertain, but those
pleasures that cultivation of our
social natures procures are as ex-
haustions as the breath of time,
which is fed by tho throbs of eter-
nity.
A'f and A'f.
Paris News.
The Arkansas Gazette, whose
Democracy is of the half horse,
half alligator variety says the
Democratic party of Texas is di-
vided into factions on the issue of
strict regulations of railroads and
was two years ago on the prohibi-
tion question. Maybe it was, but
no one in Texas is aware of it.
Last year it had clear a majority
of over 150,000. With one or two
more such splits the Democratic
majority in this state will reach
250,000.
A Conaon Statement.
A Mr. Elliot, Sherman has
leased the Garner & Haynes
building and will establish a
wholesale furniture manu-
factory as soon as the exhibit com-
mittee's contract expires.—Deni-
son Dispatch.
This is a specimen of the boom
scheme which the Denison papers
publish day after day. Mr. E11-
ott purchased a small stock of
furniture in Denison from Culley
Jt Fletcher's assignees, took it on
a debt, and has rented another
building which suits him better
than the one he now occupies.
That's theeizeof the furniture fac
tory and also tho size of Denison
lies.—Sherman Democrat.
Have Moved.
Rollins & Farmer have moved
their insurance office to No. 7,
Dixon street.
Taking th« Oath.
Tho ancient Persians swore by tho
sun, which was tho common object of
their adoration, whilo the Scythians
pledged themselves by the air they
ureatned and by their scimitars. De-
scending to more modern times tho
Saxons pledged themselves to support
their homes and privileges by tueir
arms and tho punishment for perjury
or non fulfillment of an oath was tho
loss of tho hand that held the weapon
at tho compact. Tho Spartans wcro
wont to ossein bio around a brazier of
firo and, pointing their short swofds
to tho sky, call upon tho gods to bear
witnesajto tho compact. Swearing by
tho sword, in fact, retained its signi-
ficance down to tho comparatively
modern times, though in a slightly
modilied form. Thus, whilo tho
Pagans extended tho point of the
weapon toward the supposed residence
of tho gods, tho warriors of Christian-
ity, after kissing it, directed tho hilt—
tho truo emblem of their faith—to
heaven. A later form of oath was the
Sres-sing of tho thumb upon tho blade,
rradually however, tho practice be-
camo obsolete, and tho kissing of tho
hilt, accompanying the words: "By
this good sword I" was handed down
almost to tho timo when the wearing of
y gentlemen was abolished as
one of tiio strictest codes of civil
sword by
ono of
honor.—London Standard.
Operator and Typewriter.
A person who know3 uothing of "te-
legraphy cannot imagine what an ad-
vantage to an operator a typewriter is.
It is a strange thing to me also that
tho operators do not moro generally
recognizo it. An operator, oven
though ho may bo rapid with his pen,
is generally threo or four words be-
hind the sender, or even more, and
thus is compelled to carry tho word-,
ing in his head. With a typewriter,
if no is even fairlv expert, ho can keep
up with the sender, and if lie is very
fast ho will find himself waiting.
This is a great thing for an operator.
If ho is carry ing a message iu his
head he is liable to loso it and have to
break in on the sender to repeat iK
This gives him a bad refutation. Then
mistakes are less liable, as tho ope-
rator is taking the dispatch word tor
word; and is not liablo to write seven-
teen instead of seventy or soventy in-
stead of seventeen.—New York Telo-
gram.
"How did you liko tho reading?"
asked a gentleman of an old lady who
had attended an entertainment given
by a noted elocutionist.
"Oh, ever so muchl I thought
that piece about Csesar crossing the
Rubicorn was splendid, and so waa
that one about the 'Ono HossShay.' I
always did like Shakespeare."—

A good location for a doctor. I
have practiced medicine at Valley
View since January, 1884, and
succeeded in building up a good
practice, but my land ana block
interersts are in the west and I
have made up my mind to go to
them. I have a lot and a neat little
office on corner public square,
which I will sell below cost.
Valley View is situated on the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
road, ten miles south of Gaines-
ville, and in the heart* of the
wheat-grdwing locality in northern
T exas.
I will advise any doctor who is
looking out for a good location to
investigate the facilities at this
place. For further inlormation
enclose stamps and address Dr. E.
M. Webb, in care of W. P. Guinn,
Valley View, Texas.
