yon taint'd a brief account of the T.
HR* Y. C. Bali, Banquet and Recep-
tion given by the Indies of Temple
<o tiie young men of society. Time
forbade any extended notice, as the
events of the night encroached too
i* far upon the dawning of the day.
W At the New Central Hotel, that
p paradise of pleasure’s votaries, were
gathered, in obedience to the be-
ne-ts of the fair ladies, the gallants
of the city, escorted By an array of
feminin^ loveliness such as has
never before been assembled in our
ulrth-lovlng city. The pcrfect’ar-
Tangements, with the graceful and
, charming manner in which they
were followed, doubly assured the
unqualified success which marked
the ladies’ endeavors throughout.
To the soul-inspiring music of the
Italian band, the gorgeously array-
ed Queens of Revelry led their
(precious?) charges through the
Intricate mazes of dreamy waltzes,
and more enlivening figures of the
modern bail room. The ladies
spared no effort to make the occa-
sion delightful, and their watchful
solicitation, urged by such charm-
ing creatures, accomplished all that
could be desired in an affair of the
kfnd.
i Among the rich and tasteful cos-
/IMumes the following were noted:
Miss Eula Gee, pale blue salin and
white lace.
Miss N. Farmer, blue nnn’s veil-
ing, ornamented lace.

the evening’s entertainment with
the motto: “God may forgive sins,

a savor of “future useful

Railroad News About Temple and Else-
where. Personal Mention.
Denison, Texas, January 14.—
Saturday morning the round
house of the Missouri Pacific and
twelve engines were burned up.
The estimated loss is placed at
$100,000. It will be several days
before the road will be able to trans-
port freight South, as alt the de-
stroyed engines belonged to that
run.

Indians are alowed to , ride ft c
on certain We-tern railroad •.
Tramps have found this out, and
according to an exchange thqotlier
dav,when a party of red skins were
taking a ride on the Utah and
Northwestern railroad,one of them,
a squow, called the. attention of a
brakeman to one of her fellow-trav-
elers. The brakeman investigated
and found that the alleged Indian
was a white man, who disguised as
a noble savage, was beating the
railroad and getttng a free ride.
.*** i
A railroad official, speaking of
the destruction by fire of thirteen
locomotives in the Missouri Pacific
round-houses at Denison Saturday,
says the loss will seriously cripple
that road by reducing its already
insufficient rolling stock. The
Missouri Pacific has been shorter of
rolling stock the past season than _________________WT¥flT tliat MJCJ WVerine

%eraVar# between 5,000 and 6,000
acres of New Jersey marsh under cran-
berry cultivation to-day, which is about
one-quarter of the cranberry growing
area of the United States, Massachu-
setts and Wisconsin being the* other
principal growers of the fruit. A cran-
berry marsh of the present day is as
handsome a plat of green things grow-
ing as the eye coaid rest upon, but the
rearing of the bushes on a new bog to
the age of fruit bearing is attended with
no end of care fcnd toil, to say noth-
ing of the expense. Since the cultivation
of cranberries assumed the proportions
of a large and important agricultural pur-
lauit in New Jersey, three enemies, not
one of which assailed the bush in its wild
Btate, have arisen up against it—a grass,
a bulrush and an insect. After a new
marsh or swamp has been cleared, ditch-
ed and sanded, it is planted by takings
lor slips from old bushes and inserting
one end of them in the layer of sand on
the peat soil, which is pushed closely
about the slips. Cranberry slips soon
take root in the generous peat, Uhd begin
to grow almost immediately. They
spread rapidly over the marsh, but be-
fore they have reached out their branches
many days the planter finds them sur-
rounded and choked by the sharp edged,
stiff leaved, three square grass, and its
inevitable coadjutor, the hardy and per-
sistent bulrush.. •
The grass and the rushes must be re-
moved root and branch, for which pur-
Ipose curious gouges and peculiar hoes
and other implements have been devised.
These pestiffrodb weeds have to be con-
stantly watched, and uprooted every
week or so for two seasons, so thoroughly
impregnated does the soil seem to be
with their germs and so rapidly do they
develop. At the end of the second yearl
the cranberry hushes have obtained suchl
strength and headway that they cover the

Texas, there was a demand on its
lines in Kansas and Nebraska
compared to which that in Texas
was as nothing. None of the roadfc
has received all of the rolling stock
it ordered of the shops for the pres-
ent season, and for that reason
none of them can lose any without
injury to its business. It is esti-
mated that the engines destroyed
in the fire were worth from $7500
to $10,000 each. Good engines be-

The norther has very seriously
interfered with traffic on all the
Texas roads. Passenger trains are
late on all roads, and no more
freight trains are being run than
are required to carry the perisha-
ble freights. On the Rio Grande
division of the Texas and Pacific
the weather was particularly se-
vere. Yesterday morning the mer-
cury ranged from 8 to 12 degrees
below zero at different points, and
the hardest wind ever known pre-
vailed. It was so bad, in fact, that
all trains were tied up by order of
Mr. Thorne, -superintendent of
transportation. In the afternoon
the wind laid and the mercury be-
gan to ascend, and t he operation of
trains was resumed. The storm
caught the last section of the Cali-
fornia excursion train, and the ex-
cursionists were exposed to about
as tough a spell of weather as they
md experienced in the north, and
it was enough to confuse their ideas
with regard to the clima'ic situa-
tions ,ol Greenland’s Icy Mountains
and India’s Coral Strand. »

Having had to suspend business
six weeks ago on account of sick-
nes of my entire family at Nash-
ville, Tenn., at which place I have
existence. It is estimated that to, foster
a cranberry bog to this stpte of its exist
ence costs the owner $100 an acre. If a
man should want to buy a 2-year-old bog,
thrifty and in perfect condition, he would
,be lucky if lie could obtain it for less than
$600 an acre.
Cranberry bushes blossom at the be-
ginning of the third season, and from
that tin on the grower may expect a
visit from the webworm, the most
dreaded enemy of the bog. A singular
characteristic of this insect is that it never
gives warning of its coming on a marsh.
The cranberry grower may go to lied at
night without having been able to dis-
cover a sign of a webworm oft his bushes,
ind get up next morning to see the marsh
look as if it were covered with miniature
hanks of fog, and the tops of the busies
drawn together so tightly that a twine
tied around them could hardly make
them any closer. The light banks of f<>
ire the webs of the worm, which have
been constructed during the night, and
ire what pulls the tops of the vines to-
gether. In a day or so the vines turn
fellow, and the blossoms drop to the
ground, and the owner of that marsh
does not make any very large calcula-
tions on profits that year. About the
Qrst of November they are submerged
under five or six feet of water with which
the bogs are artificially flooded. This
water is drawn off about the middle of
May, and the bushes come to view as
fresh and green as a June clover field.
There were picked last year in the New
Jersey marshes nearly 200,000 bushels of
cranberries, which were sold at an av-
age price of $2 a bushel. The yield
-lis year will not be more than two-
thirds of last year’s, but it is expected
that the price will be high enough to in-
jure as large a return to the growers as
they had from the crop of 1886.
The inventive - genius not only of Jer-
sey. but of the whole country, has taxed
itself annually in vain for ever so many
years to provide an automatic terry
picker. The harvesting of the cranberry
crop of New Jersey, and of all oth<*
places where the terry is grown, is vir-
tually in the hands of the people the
glower is forced to employ as pickers.
They bully and Harass and boycott and
strike under the slightest provocation of

Stock of Street Fakir*.
It is a subject of much speculation to
the general public as to how street fakirs
are supplied with their stocks. a
national political convention, after three
days’ balloting, a candidate for president
is chosen. As the delegates file out of
the hall they are offered badges with the
portrait of the candidate. A great body
of men assembles in a town, and the rain
falls. With the first drops, the streets
and the hotels are thronged with umbrella
peddlers. If it is hot, the same men are
selling fans. If it is damp, they have
cough drops, or, if it is bright, they offer
canes. 111 tell you about this business.
The fakir never carries a stock. He buys
and sells the same day. Every large city
has what is known as “peddlers’ supply
houses.” On the outside you will see
that they deal in “notions” or “counter
foods.” These stores have everything
from a can opener to a camp ax for sale,
and are prepared to supply the street
merchants with anything from “pain
killer” to “smoked glass” for an eclipse.
—Thomas Haggerty in Globe-Democrat.
It is the endeavor of the publish-
er in the issuing of this work, to
present to the public, in convenient
form an annual, or almanac for the
vear 1888, and present with it an
honest and liberal account of Tem-
ple’s honorable past, a truthful rep-
resentation of her prosperous pres-
ent, and a glimpse of the glorious
possibilities awaiting her future
progress.
In this connection will also he
presented, in truthful terms: First,
the advantages of Temple as a point
for manufacturing enterprises, set-
ting forth such enterprises as will
pay best here, and the inducements
offered for the same.
2. The area of Bell county, giv-
ing number of acres of land culti-
vated and uncultivated, the kind
of soil, how watered, how timbered,
its price per acre and terms,
3. . Number of school houses in
the county, and amount of money
expended for educational purposes.
With a showing of the number of
churches in the county, the de-
nominations represented and mem-
bership.
4. An accurate map of the city
of Temple prepared and printed
especially for this edition,and com-
pleted to Jany 1st, 1888. t
5. Illustrasions of all the princi-
pal buildings of the city will be
published, including the opera
house, the New Central Hotel, the
Compress, the Santa Fe Round
House, Passenger Depot and all
other public and private buildings
of interest.
The theme is worthy of our best
efforts, which it shall have, and it
is hoped that this unpretentious
volume will prove of lasting value
to Temple in conveying informa-
tion to the outside world, and in-
duce good people come and cast
their lot among us, a point unequal-
ed for tiie founding of manufactur-
ing establishments and wholesale
houses, and is certain to become,-in
the near f ‘lire, a great city which
will be the ,-ride, not only of Bell
county but of all Central Texas.
The expenses incident to such a
publication will be very heavy, and
it is urged that the citizens of Tem-
ple will lend their aid in carrying
out in enlarged form, the above
briefly outlined volume, which'
must be acknowledged, wil re-
dound to the substantial interest
of Temple.
Solicitors for aid and business in
the annual will call on ou” business
men in the near future.
