Willow Branch, March 16.
Ed. Times.
We are still in the land of the liv-
ing, anu all about up with our work.
A few of us have corn up, but it is
looking very yellow trom the effects
ot the cold weather; also gardens are
some worse on account ot the frost.
Some of our farmers are planting
cotton; look out, triends, you may
have that job to do over. It looks
very much like reducing the acreage
of cotton the way the farmers are
laying off tbeir land tor cotton,
can’t ace but very little change in the
amount planted between this year
and last in this part of the couatry>
and yet we hear from a number of
the farmers when we go to town.
We must do something to benefit our
condition, bow are we to do this, are
we to do so by the production of cot-
ton alone? Can we do it with 5 cent
cotton? I think not; we should de-
versify our crops more than we have
ever done, and raise plenty at borne
to live cn and then raise wbat cotton
we can, and get to using more cottoff
goods than we do; we do not use half
what we ought to use in that line,
there Is not a family in the United
States but what need lrom $25 to $50
worthof cotton goods annually. How
do we expect, uhder such a state of
affairs, to better onr condition when
the production is greater than the
consumption? Not until the tide of
things change in the consumption of
more cotton goods, will we have any
better, prices tor our cotton if the av-
erage amount of money spent for
whisaey and beer waa put in cotton
goods lor the consumption and com-
fort of the good house wife and chil-
dren, wo would sec in a short time a
great change and we would not hear
such a howl about hard times and op-
pression with the average larmerand
laborer. Our young men think less
of the cursed stuff, we would see the
rising generation wonld make useful
and honorable men, and men that our
country would be proud of after wo,
who aro driving the plow and ham-
mer, have passed away. Young men,
stop and think where this wisky
curse will lead you to before it is too
<ate. You may think It smart to go
to town and get on a whiz, as you
call it, and come home swaying to and
fro, yelling like a wild Indian, but
you are off if you do think ao. 1 tell
you if you follow this up It will ruin
you both body aud soul, and tbo
time will come sooner or later when
you will wish that you had never seen
the cursed stuff. Stay away lrom the
whisky shops anu take the money
that you spend for the stuff aud put
It iu'something that will elevate you
both morally and socially, then you
will be an honor to your parents and
society.
What has become of the Wander-
ing Jew, we havu’t heard anything ot
him lately? Hope he hasu’t given up
the drivo.
If this finds iavorwlth your list you
will hear from me again. Wishing
the Times much of the good things of
life, I remain the Scribbler.

BLEVINS ITEMS.
Blevins, Tex,, March 16.
Ed. Times.
Seeing that your columns seem to
he open to the public, in the way of
items trom all the small towns, I
thought I would scribble you a few
lines from a Falls county town.
The good old tarmers of this vicin-
ity are up with their work better
than they have been lor several years
atthisscason of the year. The farm-
ers have left oil at least one-fourth of
their cotton crop to what thoy bad in
lust year. They have come to the
conclusion that they had better raise
hog aud hominy at home, and not de-
pend on the northern market to furn-
ish it to them, to have to pay for it
with 4 and 5 eent cotton.
We noticed an article ib the Times
not long since ot a man who said'
something about some grunters, so
he called them, that he fed so mnch
corn and ruined his potato patch, and
we don’t remember the other mischief
they done, perhaps eat up a baby or
ho, or at least he did not tavor hog
raising as they did not pay expenses.
We don’t care to discuss tho subject,
but we would like lor the hog hater
to count the expenses ot raising 5 cent
cotton and tell us poor tarmers how
much money we make over expenses.
We don’t want to discourage any one,
but, dear brother, we would now step
down and ont.
We are proud to note the fact that
Texas is not without a man of human-
ity, and suoh we claim to havo at
Blevins in the person ot S. A. Parham.
Mr. Griggs, a cuttle buyer, owned a
yearling in Mr. Parham’s pasture
and could not get it out, as it.was very
stubborn. Mr. Griggs procured the
assistauco of Mr. Parham, with his
team and wagon, and drug the poor
fellow a long distance, but could not
make it go, and then they stakeu him
out near the resideuco ot Mr. Parham.
His sympathy was aroused, and
-yith a buudle of oats he went to feed
the yearling, when in a tow pacos ot
him he made an unexpected leap at
Parham, and snvo the seat of his pant*
ho would havo been tos-ed to the
clouds;it was the writer's pleasure to
pass that way later, and tho fragments
of old pants, hat and oats reminded
us of a col'ision ou a railroad. Mr.

Wyaurtottcs or any otner good breed

ing will do well, especially on the
prairies of Texas.
Tho farmers are of all men, best

can make money by engaging in this
business, ami as but litilo expenso is
requirod at first, can with n few dol-
lars to start with, finely build up a
profitable business. By converting
part of a shed or stall into a hen
house, and making coops and nests
out ol old scrap plank or boxes, cau
fix up places tor 30 or 40 hens with-
out ouo cent of cost. There is vaste
grain enough around any farmer’s
barn to feed them, or it not you can
plant the odd corners now lay ing out,
in millet or r.uything you want for
feed.
Will not some bev under 20 years
ot ago try the poult-y business? He
can buy two dozen common hens for
$5 by going ofl some distance from
town, at any time of the year, and two
leghorn cocks will cost only three
dollars, ami you sec for $8 any boy or
girl can start a poultry yard, and their

up your eggs nice and avorage 16
cents per dozen the year round; and
all the hens you raise would be half
leghorns, and the second yoar you
would he out nothing and could in-
crease your bu,'incss to as large again

A Doctor for Meliaonler’i Dog.
Here is a good story of a doctor
aud a painter’s wife. The doctor's
name does not appear, but the painter
was Moissonier. Mine. Meisaonier
sent for the family physician in a
great hurry. He came, thinking
some illnoss had overtaken the artist
But it was not the artist; it was only
lapdog. He podfeced his prim/
and aooudod Hie patient, who soon
recovered. At the end of the year
tho bill came in, but there was no
item for attendance on the dog.
Mine. Moissonier noticed the omission
and told the doctor to charge. He
would not charge; he said he could
not charge, ho was not a vet He
waa very glad to be kind to the dog,
otc. Tho lady insistod. Well, said
tho doctor, tho hinges of my garden
gato aro rusty; ask M. Meissonier to

Teeth of > Shark.
In respect to its dentition the shark
is a very remarkable creature. The
white shark has seven rows of teeth,
while other species vary in the num-
ber of rows they possess. It must be
understood, however, that the shark
only uses one row at a time. The
other rows lie down inside the mouth
behind the edge of the jaw, erecting
themselves whon it is time for them
to take successively the place of the
first row. When one observes how
keen edged these incisors are it seems
no wonder that they can bite off a
big rope as readily as if it were pack-
thread. -Washington Star.
