THE CALLED SESSION QETS DOWN
TO BUSINESS.
What kind ot a democrat or mug-
wump, or third party, or wlat will a
man be who did not vote lor Robert-
son or King cither?
-jy
Finley is crippling IFgg by saying
he is his friend, and Clark is hurting
himself by abusing Uogg. Now if
Hogg will shoot Finley and get some
one to sic Clark cn some more, be
will be all right.
Wl y don’t Clark’s friends tij bim
up awhile? The reaction in the minds
of the people will take place about
the time Got. Hogg starts out to fill
his appointments.
Bell Count/.
Boll county is a great county.
Them is no better health to be found
anywhere than here. The waste land
is comparatively nothin*?. Land in
Bell county will never, never wear
< ut The black rich soil is from three
to twenty lcet deep and jus as rich at
the bottom as at the top. Good colj,
pure water can bo reached at from
ten to thirty feet. Everything from
a jack rabbit to an over-grown mort-
gage has been raised on Bell county
laud (some counties cau uever raise
the lalterjal a handsome profit. Bell
county Is high and rolling giving ber
better dirt roads tnan any otner rich
land county in the state. Bell county
has eighteen railroad station which
gives every neignborhood a shipping
point. Bell county is do ted with
good grist mills and gins, making ii
easy to ruu over and get your grind-
ing and ginning done and then gei in
a good half day’s work. Bell county
has fine schools churches, lodges, in
fact, everything ihat tends to elevate
the uind and make people better.
Bell county has intelligent and indus-
trious farmers.
Bell county has too much laud in
grass, why ie this? No renters. Many
farmers would put m ar all their pas-
tures in cultivation it they only had
good routers tor the laud. It does
not take much figur ug to show that
cats at fifty to oue hundred bushels
per acre heats raising sago grass.
What kind of renters do they want?
They want good solid farmers lrom
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and oth-
er states. Suppose every farmer iu
Boll couuty, who have now in cul-
tivation more laud than they cau tend
and still have a large pasture of good
rich land, would write back to his old
state to some good, honest, hard-
working friend aud propose to give
him all he could make on fifty or
sixty acres of land for tho first two
years if Lc would put It in cultiva-
tion; what would the result he? In a
few years Pell county would be one
big farm, toe old friend would have
made enough to make a good pay-
ment on aiBrm and wonder why ho
did not come to Texas long ago, and
the Bell county farmer would be
well paid lor the use ot his land.
Many good formers in other states
are anxious to move and one great
trouble Is, a lack of co ifidcnco in
Tex is; why is this? Simply b .'cause
des'guiug land companies have
sought to make a fortune by misrep-
resenting Texas. They copied their
description from 6U< h land as we

Several Thousand People Greet Him at
Meridian.
Meridian, Miss., March 16.—Several
thousand people assembled in Meridian
when the train bearing Senator Hill and
party rolled into the city. He was re-
ceived by the music of the bands and a
salute of musketry from the Mississippi
Southerns, a military organization of
Meridian. Senator Hill was introduced
by Captain W. H. Hardy, chairman of
the citizens’ committee, as follows:
" Friends and fellow citizens: I have
the pleasure of introducing to you the
great Democratic leader who never leads
but to victory and who never won a vic-
tory but for the people. He is pre-emi-
nently the great exponent of the old
Democratic doctrine that all political
power is inherent in the people. Hence
there is in his political creed no place
for force bills, no countenance for rule
of plutocracy, but that the will of the
people is the supreme law that should
guide and govern official conduct of all
men in pnblic situations. [Cheers.]
Today all eyes are turned to him and
the great and wise leader, under whose
banner the Democratic hosts of this
country shall march to victory next
November, and not only that but when
that great victory shall be won, it will
be a permanent one to continue year
after year and term after term, after this
government shall be restored to that
glorious career begun under our fathers,
and so go onward and upward till it
reaches that great destiny which in the
providence of God awaits the brave, vir-
tuous and free, Mississippi’s guest, the
Hon. David B. Hill. ” [Cheers]. Senator
Hill spoke briefly and forcibly on na-
tional political issues and was loudly
cheered. He denounced the force bill
and billion dollar congress, and said the
people would pronounce against the Re-
publican party in the coming election.
[Cheers]. _

New York, January 20th, 1892.
DOWNS BROS. Agents,
TEMPLE. TEXAS.
Herewith we hand you the statement of the Company, showing its
condition at the close of 1891.
The year has been a hard one for Insurance Companies, so hard
hat many have given up the struggle for existence; still the “HOME” comes
'out Of the battle stronger than ever before.
Please notice not' only the amount, but the quality of ihe securities
held by the company and the enormous Re-Insurance Reserve held for the se-
curity, of Policy holders.
The premium receipts of the company during the past year have
beeiv Jprger than e\er before, the increase over the verv large premiums of 1890
being some $700,000,00, although many risks which have proved unprofitable
have been cut oft without hesitation and the business was never in better
shape than now.
In 1892 the officers look to every agent to increase his business over
hat of 1891 on all classes of desirable risks.
’ The experiem e of all companies shows that rates are entireiy too low
upon all classes sf risks, especially special hazards and large mercantile risks
both wholesale and retail, upon which the losses during the past year have
been simply enormous.
The co-operation of every agent is confidently expected to secure
an increase of business so that 1892 may be the most prosperous year in the
history of tde company.
