Thursday morning, January 5th,
before the dawn of day, we got a
move on ourself and hitched up
the noted trotter, “Tip Top,” and
in our road cart we hied us away
for Long mountain, in Hamilton
county, on a business and pleasure
trip combined. On our way down
a saw many cotton fields with
one or more bales of cotton yet to
ick, and quite a number of corn
with but little or no corn
from them. I saw jnany
wheat that looked very
[ saw several farms with
more or less land plowed and the
plows moving on lively, with good
teams attached. We passed
Thursday night with new made
friends at the point of the moun-
tain. and Friday night wo spent
with friends of more recent date on
Meridian creek.
Saturday night we spent with
our old time, true and long tried
* friends, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. R.,
in the Wawleyne Valley, forever
rendered historic by the. murder of
Miss Whitney, the school teacher,
by the Indians; who, while her
life blood flowed from wounds
W made by the deadly arrows, walk-
S ed the floor of the iittle log school
7 house and begged piteously for the
. lives of the children, saying that
“if they would kill her, spare the
little ones.” Also by the hold and
daring feat of Miss Armunda How-
ard, who was out riding on a
young horse; when the Indians
saw her they gave chase, when she,
lashed her horse into a run and a,t
full speed she cleared an interven-
ing fence nt a single leap and
Reached a house in safety. And
when there she conceived the idea
of warning the lower setthmients,
and remounted and set out on a
full run and again cleared the
fence. When the Indians saw and
divined her motive they endeavor-
ed to head her off, but undaunted
she onward flew and distanced her
pursuers and gavo the alarm.
While traversing these historic
paths we could but feel that we
were treading on holy ground, and
also that if we could have entered
the arena just before their fiendish
' work began with sufficient force
and arms we would have prevent-
ed these foul murders.
We learn that Messrs. H. C,

Again: An eflort is being
made by democrats in the Texas
legislature to keep down any ask-
ing of Mills as to how he stands on
silver. They want to go it blind
and elect the great Cleveland
toadyite and yet do not want to he
responsible for voting for him if
he should publicly declare, what
tye is really known to be, a regular
Clevelandite on silver. Mil’s’
speech on the tariff lately ittade in
New York is enough to beat him,
and will beat many Texas legisla-
tors who vote for him after that
Madison Square Garden speech.
There is no solution of the tariff
but free trade. The reason why
the tariff lias never been settled is
because there is no rest for the
wicked. It is a robber and a thief
ancf a devil from the beginning.
Jt is a radical evil and free trade
is the radical remedy.

verance and ingenuity have em-
braced each other, and in the man-
ifestation of these traits during the
closing weeks of 18112, he has en-
deared himself to the people of
Alexander. With the assurance
that these statements have been
made to extol true merit without a
desire to .flatter, we guarantee that
the silken tie that binds us to-
gether will never be broken.
Our school, under the manage-
ment of Prof. J. D. Meadows, is
progressing finely. We are glad
to note the fact that the pupils ap-
preciate the importance of person-
al effort, and are settling down to
business with the determination to
excel In their works. Prof. Mead-
ows is a most excellent instructor
and is doing all in his power to
build up the school. Two young
men already from a distance will
enter the school Monday morning.
Mrs. Laura E. Russell, of Min-
eral Wells, has charge of the sec-
ond department and the good
work she is doing in her sphere
cannot be over estimated. Miss
Minnie Parchtnan, of Vernon, has
charge of the primary grades, ijhc
is a fine teacher and is making ev-
ery effort in the discharge of her
duty. The advance of the pupils
in her department is thorough and
rapid. All things considered, our
prospects were never better for a
first-class school.
There are some new improve-
ments in our town. Mr. John
Hall has about completed a new
blacksmith shop und we have two
new merchants.

Garrison is about 27 yelrs old and
is a graduate of the medical college

physician and druggist ofAlvord,
Tex., a town of 1006 people, and
his family iiyme of the most promi-

from his appearance, a man of the

Tuesday afternoon a letter and a
newspaper clipping were brought
to Chief Connolly’s office which
told the story of the murder. The
newspaper clipping told of the kill-
ing in Alvord Christmas, and said
it was a cold blooded murder. The
paper said that Garrison, two
young men named Ragsdale and
Marshal Stevens went into a res-
taurant at night for supper. Gar-

drunk when. She did it.

What it May Terminat* ia.
The Texas—Central railroad, it
will lie remembered, some time
ago took up the iron rails on their
road to a point near Morgan and
replaced them with steel giving
out that they would extend the steel
rail service on to the end of the
line as fast as the trade would jus*

ed whose it was. They made the
discovery in a curious and touch-
ing way. Sherman Finch, a pat-
tern maker, who lives with his
wife, Rose, at fi Amsterdam ave-
nue, called at the station house to
inquire for his 3-months-old
daughter, Annie, who had been
taken out by the nurse girl at 10
o’clock that morning. They
ought to have been home in an
hour, but had not appeared, and
Mr. Finch in his alarm had ap-
plied to the police. His descrip-
tion of the child tallied exactly
with that of the murdered infant
lying in a rear room of the station
house. -
He was taken to see the body,

steel rails and will go to work in a
few days tearing up the old track
and placing the new rails. What
the Texas Central intends to do
with the old rails is the question
that perplexes many, but that
we well know is not a hard thing
for the Texas Central to decide, for
there are many ways for them to
use so small a lot of rails as forty
miles. But the idea, what will
they do w ith them? is something of
a different nature. One disposi-
tion that could he made of them
would he to use them in building
the proposed road from Dublin to
Thurber, and this may in all prob-
ability be the final outcome. Any-
way, at the general offices of the
