fy HKAVT WEEKS RECEIPTS.'
/ Not long ago the Fort Worth
Gazette made a boast of the Fort
Worth postmaster’s report which
showed $30(0 as receipts from
money order business done in that
city for the last week in December.
On yesterday Postmaster John
Wright showed us his report for
the corresponding week at Temple
office which footed up $3,321.
This office unquestionably does
* more business than any third rate
office in Texas and there is not a
better regulated, more thoroughly
systematized office to be found any-
where.
pretty freely that he had defaulted-
However, in due couise of time he
retur ned, and through a pathetic
story related to near friends and
the influence of his bondsmen, a
note was signed by a number of his
friends and tneir friends for $SoO
and the shortage made good, thus
the matter was dropped from public
gaze and gossip, and not much was
ever known of the true Inwardness
of the case Williams premised the
signers of the note to sell a piece of
property in Louisiana be had, and to
work and save what he could f-om
bis salary and with the two liquid-
ate so much of the note as he could
when it became due. Iiistead A
doing this a year of idleness was
spent about saloons and gambling
tables. >
Williams was a Knight of pythias
and much was done for him by the
members of that organization for
him through charity sake, especial-
ly for his esteemabie wife, sweet
little daughter and two bright sons.
He was also a member of the en-
dowment rank, Knights of Pythias
and secretary of the same, as which
he i • at present, so far as all Indi-
cations are concerned a defaulter^
having collec ed installment fees
for this rank which he never for-
warded. Williams’ whereabouts are
unknown at present; the note is
part due. Notice was served upon
the endowment rank that Williams
is three months behind. L’lius it is
nis friends are mourners about $900
or $1,000.
The family of Williams is still in
the city and The Times regrets
exceedingly to have to chronicle
events that will bring such pangs
of pain and mortification upon them
but stern facts cah’t be obviated.
It is the old story of woman and
wine that claimed Henry Williams
as a victim and made him, once an
honest and respectable man, a de-
faulter.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR BALL.
The opera house presented a
beautiful appearance on Friday
night as your reporter stepped into
the hall. The merry strains of an
excellent orchestra were being iH r
wafted out on the night air and the HitXook j n
hall was being trod by many a fair Hltctlcoch
and manly form. The hall was
tastefully and prettily decorated
with evergreens and mottoes
which was arranged as follows:
Immediately on entering the hall
the guest was greeted with the
warm word “welcome” < n a large
transparency, continuing his walk
he next met the usual salutation of
the season, “A Happy New Year,”
while on the left of the hall the
motto of the order, “An Injury To
One, Is The Concern Of All,” met
the eye. The symbolic letters, “K.
ofL.” were displayed across the
centre .of the room in gold, festoon-
ed with evergreen. Altogether
the decorations were of an appro-
nrite and pretty design. Our read-
ers ere reaching this, found out
that your reporter has been speak-
iug of the ball given at the opera
house on New Year’s eve by the lch
cal assembly of Knights of Labor,
this city. A very large attendance
was present, notwithstanding the
stiff norther which was blowing,
and rendered a journey to the hall
either in a varriogo or on foot un-
pleasant. The boys were not to be
deterred, however, by the inclem-
ency of the weather from turning
out in full fore, and before the clock
pointed to the hour of 10, the floor
was well filled by the votaries oi
terpsichore, and the seats set apait
for visitors were more than filled
A laige number of railroad employ-
ers were present, and in fact every
branch of the laboring class was
well represented. A goodly
concourse of visitors from the
mercantile and professional cir-
cles of the city also lent their
presence to the affair. Where so
many strangers your reporter fail-
ed to obtain a full list of those pres-
ent. Suffice it to say the beauty,
chivalry and manhood of the city
were well represented and the de-
parting guests were loud in their
praise of the ball given by the
Knights of Labor of Temple on
December 31,1886.
i :Ur--
ThiB celebrated humorist, in a
well wd.ten article in a recent
number -of the Sunny South, pub-
lished in Atlanta, Ga., saysi
Fvecvwhere I go I bear ofunad-
Verlised and remarkrble cures ef-
fected by -‘Swift’s Spec*'8c,and
this is compelled to bo tbo oxper--
euce of every man man who trav-
els and talks. For example 1 was
going in a buggy to town (Seno-a)
a few nights ago with Mr. JohD
MoKnight, when the conversation
turned to tbo possibility of curing
cancers.
“They can be cured,” said he ‘-I
cured one—a genuine, well devel-
oped, long standing cancer—and
it’s been well several yeafa, and
the former victim is stout and
healthy.” ,
“How did you cure it?” I asked.
“I cured it with S. S. S.’’
“Did you -inform Swift of the
cure?”
‘•Why, no; wbat’s the use? Swift
knows his medicine will cure can-
cers.’’
This incident is vne of the num-
berless prophecies tbrt are daily
predicting the future of Swift’s Spe
cific, I might go much further
with this branch ot the subject-
might show tbo wonderful growth
of the busiuess—might show the
expense in J879 at $30,000, and
1886 at $260,000. I might enlarge
upon these and many other facts
were I writing an advertisement,
Which I again assert I am not.

WHAT TRUE NIEH|T Wll.l. DO.
The unprecedent aide of Bosciiee,s
German Syrup within a few years has
astonished tlie world. It is without
doubt tlie safest and beet remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of coughs, colds and the severest
lung troubles. It nets on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up a cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
•eaves them in a purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept in ti e house for
use when the diseases make their np*
pearance, will Rave doctor’s bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will couvince you of these facts. It is
positively sold by all druggists and
jeueral dealers in the land. Price
5 cents, large bottles.
MOTHERS
FRIEND
Not only shortens tbo time of labor
and lessens the pain, but it greatly
diminishes the danger to fife of Jboth
mother and ehild, and leaves the
mother in a condition more favorable
to speedy reervory. and less liable to
Flooding, convulsions, and other alarm
Ing symptoms. Its efficacy in this re-
spect entitles it to be called The Moth-
er’s Friend, and to rank as one of the
life owing remedies of the nineteenth
century.

cerning tbi# remedy without wounding
