daughter of Mr. Stepp, got lost on
the prairie the evening ,qf the
‘■norther” while returning home
from school, and had it not been
for thejpassing of a neighbor who
found her, she would have frozen.
Esquire VV. C. Reed has a little
girl that has been confined to her
bed about twenty-five or thirty
days with slow fever. She has
been dangerously ill, but she is^
much better now.
Mr. William Howard had the
misfortune to get his arm broken
one day last week. He fell from
hit wagon and the wheel passing
over bis arm, crushed the bone.
Mr. Mark Smith, while playing
ball last Friday, sprained his an-
kle, but is now able to “hobble”
to the head of the school.

Some think Alexander will be
strictly in it when the Central

ing last Friday night, a committee
was appointed to confer with other
committees in that direction.
Mr. and Mrsv. Carmichael
re-
turned to their home near Gran-
I
bury last week.
Considerable increase in inter-
est is now apparent in our Sunday
school, and we expect to rank with
the best in the county at no dis-
tant day. May the good work go
on.
Our farmers are preparing for
the new crop. Oat sowing will
soon be the order of the day.
Wheat looks well and bids fair to
make a good yield. Gardening has
commenced, sowing English peas,
spring turnips, and some have
planted Irish potatoes.
We look for an early spring and
a dry summer, indications denote
both. Doiv’t give your com away,
feed it as though it was worth 50 cts
per bushel.
A. M. Maloney, has just re-
turned from several days visit in
Mills and adjoining counties. His
health is considerably improved.
J. M. R. Stephen is fencing in
new ground on his farm.
Calvin Brumley had the misfor-
tune to lose his fine horse last week,
and his scrub mule broke his neck.
Alexander would not be sur-
prised to hear of two or three wed-
dings announced soon.

the democratic masses are becom
ing alarmed at the outlook, which
is about this: *
- 1st. Tha,t there is no possible
show of t|e free coinage of sil-
ver under Cleveland’s administra-
tion, because enough republicans
and eastern democrats will side
with Cleveland to prevent free
coinage. Besides Senator Car-
lisle, who is to be Cleveland’s Sec-
retary of Treasury is opposed to
free silver.
2nd. The great banking and
monied corporations and bond-
holders under Clevelands wing will
find enough republicans and east-
ern democrats to fortify and per-
petuate their already strong hold.
3d. In a wild cry for a small re-
duction of the tariff, the essential
health truth of revenue^ which is
free trade, and let every Inan pay
in accordance with what he has
will be lost sight of, and again will
be repeated the “tightning of the
mint, arise and commence” to the
utter neglect of justice, judgement
and the weighty matters of law
and good conscience. The tariff
is a robber from the beginning. It
never has been settled, for the rea-
son that the public stomach, like
that of an individual, can never be
settled while such a mass of com-
bination is to be settled.
4th. The transportation monop-
olies having conquered in the
counts in all contests with state
and National commission laws, now
•are relying on eternal perpetuation,
being supported not only by in-
terested parties, but by a vast ele-
ment, who more are afraid of
the people owning and controlling
this immense interest, than they
are of a few powerful corporations.
It is strange that otherwise intelli-
gent people will permit themselves
to be completely hypnotized by the
wary magicians of the powerful
East. Some.of them have become
so oppressed with the spheres that
fabulous and massed wealth has
been sedulous to create for its own
benefit, that they even become in-
furiated and foam at the mouth
when your neighbors ask them,
“Do you hear the children weep-
ing?” And has it come to this?
the following is taken from New
York dispatches of July 30th: “A
prominent democrat of this state
had a chat with President Cleve-
land yesterday. Mr. Cleveland,
said this gentleman, is thinking
now more of the repeal of the
Sherman silver act than of any-
thing else. Appointments will be
largely governed by Mr. Cleve-
land’s ardent desire to stop the
coinage of the present dishonest
silver dollar. Mr. Cleveland re-
gards the silver question as the
paramount one in politics, super-
ceding even the tariff. Only two
cabinet appointments are as yet
determined on. Carlisle as Secre-
tary of Treasury and Lamont as
Secretary of War, Both of these

Some fanners have already be
gan plowing and getting their land
in shape for the next crop.
The singing at the residence of
Mr. P. Johnson last Sunday night
was a success and everybody en-
joyed themselves.
The school at Mt. Pisgah has
been completely wrecked this week,
caused from sickness and cold
weather. A number of scholars
are down with bad colds and other
complaints.
It is to be hoped that the bad
weather will break up by tin first
of next week and give our tillers
of the soil a chance for work.
They mean it this year, and ex-
pect to pqt forth herculean efforts
to make a successful business.
Long may the Progress live to
give the people of Erath county
the news—every bit of it.

The work of improvement still
goes on, Mr. Willie Whtsenant,
late of your city, is erecting a snug
residence which will soon be ready
for occupancy.
We hear of a good number being
sick in our vicinity, mostly colds
but some cases of genuine pneumo-
nia.
We regret very much that
have to chronicle the death of
little Mertie L., daughter of Mrs.
N. E. Caudle, after an illness of
only four days duration of pneu-
monia. Little Mertie was not
quite two years old. The fond
mother has our deepest sympathy
in her sad bereavement, and we re-
fer her to “Him who doeth all
things well.”
Our farmers are, as a general
rule pushing on bravely with their
work, preparing for another crop,
and we are sorry to record the fact
that some of them, we fear, are
preparing to plant a large acreage
of five or six cent cotton, with
which to buy fifty or seventy-five
cent corn and ten tuid twelve cent
bacon, We heard one man say
that he did not care if he did hot
realize over three cents per pound
for the lint, he was going to plant
for the money there was in the
seed. Better by far raise a plenty
and to spare of “hog and hominec”
and “live at home and board at
the same house”. By all means

that state has participated in the
prosperity of the south equally,
if not ahead of many of her sister
states, especially in the' lumber
mills and manufacture of same, and
in her mines and all branches of
trade, and her capital (money) in
all branches'have prospered; less
failures and less borrowing from
her banks, and financially speak-
ing the! last year was prosperous,
and the outlook for the present
year is flattering. Arkansas has
an abundance of the very best tim-
ber of almost all kinds, but has not
the facilities of railway transpor-
tation that many other southern
states have, but the present year
promises to be a favorable year
for building and extending her
railroads. She has a great amount
of line farming and timbered lands
untouched yet, that might be
bought at very reasonable figures,
and she has very extensive and
rich mines too remote from trans-
portation, especially her plaster
of Paris miues of many acres of
extent and like Texas and the south
generally, present inviting fields
for energy rustle and investments
in many branches of business, es-
pecially if the democrats redeem
their pledges. “Arkansaw” has
some peculiar features, or at least
the portion I saw, for it looks to be
swamps, except tbe hills and
mountains. I did not see her
fir** glowing fcSCtfc—bar
grain and stock growing sections,
but from what I could gather those
sections are very fine. Last year

At this crisis the Alliance puts in
her appearance. It was like the
brazen serpent Moses lifted up in
the wilderness, it shined like the
star of bethiehem with" Dope en-
twined about it. All that was
bitten by Shylock could join, lay
holt, work and live. But hark at
this crisis, what do we hear. We
hear our congressmen from Wash-
ington crying loud and long, “keep
out of politics.” Reader, these
men had sank so low in the scales
of humanity that they Were not
willing to be measured by the old
adage, which says, honest men are
not afraid to be watched and thieves
ought to be watched. The Alli-
ance as an organization did as in-
telligent men would do, (that is
they never acknowledged them-
selves a political body,) but com-
menced at once probing into gov-
ernment aficirs, opened up a t chool
to educateaftd investigate. Thank
God they have been successful,
education and investigation hast
enabled them, like the wile of
THE LITTLE IN CHEMI8TBV.
Some examples of the marvel-
ous influence that traces of foreign
substance may exert on chemical
change have been collected by a
writer in science. Mr. H. B. Ba-
ker proved in 1887 and 1888 that
carbon, sulphur or phosphorus may
be strongly heated in dry oxygen
without taking fire, although vig-
orous combustion takes place if the
slightest moisture be present. Our
household fires wpuld probably be
impossible in the absence of the
aqueous vapor. Jt trace of mois-
ture is necessary to other combina-
tions, as dry chlorine and dry
metalic sodium do not unite, and a
mixture of carbon monoxide and
oxygen, or of ethylene and oxygen,
can only be exploded when slight-
ly moist. Mr. W. H. Veley has
lately Bhown that the violent action
of nitric acid on many metals is
due to slight impunity. Copper,
silver, mercury or bismuth may
be emersed in the strongest pure
nitric acid for a considerable time
without effect, but the addition of
a trace of nitrus acid—even so
small as 1 or 2 parts in 10,000—
| causes the metal to be rapidly
dissolved. Pure zinc will not dis-
solve in pure hydrochloric or sul-
phuric acid, while the reaction is
quickly set up in the presence of
