Look to Your Interests.
Among our people at the present
time the lack of interest in the coming
State Fair is distressing. General
Cabell’s visit and efforts while here
to arouse the people to a sense of duty
and responsibility scarcely caused a
ripple of excitement or interest. This
apathy as regards the welfare of our
town and county speaks volumes in
the ear of the wide-awake prospector
—not conducive to our weal, however.
It shows to the observing a want of
enterprise and a lack of confidence in
our own powers and the strength of
the county at large. This is bad. The
day for the opening of the Fair gates
to the vast multitude from abroad is
drawing on apace, and still we sit
with folded hands, watching the ap-
proach of the ripples that will finally
hide us from sight so far as this year’s
exhibit is concerned. Taylor and other
counties will loom up in hues of living
light, and why not we? There will
be a mass meeting at the courthouse
next Saturday, and every man in the
county who can possibly do so should
attend. Rouse from this ruinous lan-
guor while we yet have an opportunity
of winning laurels that will fade not
away.

“It is all very mysterious,” he said,
“and I am at a loss to account for it.
I have not the slightest idea where he
could have gone with the ship. He
could have come down, oven after he
had lost the fan-like propeller, as he
had a valve rope and could have al-
lowed the gas to escape. He had a
knife with him, however, and could
have climbed up to the netting of the
baloon and cut a rent in it.”

One of Abraham Lincoln’s, love let-
ters is now going the rounds of the
press, and a queer one it is. It sounds
more like a proposition from one man
to another suggesting a co-operation
in some business enterprise. There
is no gusli, no show of affection, no
nothin’ to mark the writer as a lover.
If the fair recipient had been as fond
of flattery and as appreciative of mas-
culine “gall” in like affairs as the av-
erage young lady of to-day she must
have thought it a very dull proposal.
A Compliment
We notice several of our exchanges'
laying aside the custom of having one
side of their paper printed in Dallas
and also the use of plate matter to
fill up space in their paper. Among
them the Childress Index and the Al-
bany News, which last named paper
is published by G . P. Barber, which
is a creditable newspaper and if prop-
erly patronized by the peaple of Al-
bany will do a great deal for their
town. It shows that it is in the
hands of a practical printer and well
edited. A home newspaper should
be made a home ei t uprise.—Call.

The New York Morning Journal
says: “A Texas cotton broker has
been arrested for selling short weight.
There is a custom in that far-off land
of loading a bale with rocks which are
dressed up with a little cotton. ’ ’ That
is a willful and pusillanimous slander.

custom among New York grocers of
loading down their sugar barrels with
bushels of wet sand. ”
Choice Bit of History.
“Scip,” said Hannibal, as he whit-
tled a stick into a shape resembling a
Roman galley, and then proceeded to
scuttle it, “You have learned the art
of war by watching me do up your
armies on the plains round about beau-
tiful Roma, as my friend, Col. Elliot
F. Shepard would say. But it seems
to me you have a good deal of Gaul to
come down here into my country to
show off your knowledge. If you don’t
go back—and if perfidious Carthage
doesn’t go back on me again—perad-
venture I shall drown you. in the Emin
Bey, where Stanley himself will never
find you. I’m a bad man, Scip.”
“My dear Hannibal Rider Haggard”
pleasantly responded Scipio Africanus,
as he cut the leaves of a fresh maga-
zine with a paper cutter made from
the ivory of a captured Carthaginian
elephant and glanced through its pages
to see if the war papers were still run-
ning, “give yourself no uneasiness on
my account. Your foot may be on
your native sand-bank, but your name
is Dennis. I’ll see you later, Hank.”
And everybody knows the battle of
Zama took place the next day, and
was lost by Hannibal because the stin-
gy Carthaginian dealers in pelts and
dried codfish hadn’t furnished him
enough Hessians.—Chicago Tribune
rope if she desires recognition in this
world of workers. Don’t stand back,
with your finger in your month, and
say: “My neighbor, Smith, will do
enough work for both of us,” or ‘‘lie
and Jones have more time and money
than I have, and will see that the
neighborhood is represented.” That
isn’t fair. You must help. You must
contribute your share of labor or you
have no right to feel proud of your
county’s exhibit and the praise be-
stowed upon it by an appreciative pub-
lic. You must work or be looked on
as a drone. Such men are no advan-
tage to a community, and should be
told so in plain words.
Must be Overdrawn.
The following is clipped from the
Throckmorton Times. \Ve know not
where Bro. Pool caught it, but there
is surely some mistake about it—the
case must be overdrawn. Texas peo-
ple would hardly permit so mean a
scoundrel to dwell among them for
twelve months without hanging him :
Every little while we hear of “the
meanest man on record,” but we be-
lieve he was never found until last
Thursday, in a small town near Dallas.
His name is Alexander Maggart, and
he, about a year ago, married a Miss
McGowan at DeWitt, Mo., against the
wishes of her parents, and brought her
to Texas. She died during confine-
ment last week. Her mother, who
had come from Missouri, wanted to
take her back with her and bury her
in the family burying-ground, but
Maggart refused to let the body go
unless she would pay him $1U for it.
The money was paid and the body
embalmed, placed in a casket and
carried back to rest beside her kin-
dred .
eastern shore of Virginia. At the end
of eight days the marriage ceremony
was performed, but the wily mother-
in-law refused to allow her daughter
to leave unless she accompanied her.
She took charge of her on board the
boat, occupying the same state-room
with her, and forced the groom to go
below.
Coard says he does not regret what
he has done, and if his wife comes
back he is ready to treat lie'r with all
due affection, but he does not propose
to cry if she never comes back. He
says he has managed to complete the
greater part of the journey of life as a
batclielor and can finish the rest as a
grass widower.
The outlook for the cotton crop in

At Lincoln, Nebraska, a few days
ago, four men lost their lives under
peculiar circumstances. A watch was
dropped into a cesspool, and they were
endeavoring to recover it. They dug
a large hole at the side of the pool;

A new mania has sprung into exist-
ence among amateur photographers,
known as the partrait stamp. It is
made like the postage stamp, and of
about the same size, and is gummed
ready for sticking upon an envelope.
How far the secret service will allow
this fancy to go unchecked is a ques-
tion, as its rule^ are very rigid about
anything that even approaches the ap-
pearance of a bit of government cur-
rency or a postal device. If the por-
trait stamp becomes common, the in-
fluence it will exert in retarding the
mails may well be taken into consid-
eration. Every clerk in the postoffice
with any pretensions to gallantry will
defer marking a woman’s letter till he
has scanned the features of the send-
er and formed his deliberate judg-
ment of her “points”.

Do right for right’s sake, and not
for what people will say or think of
you. There is grandeur and beauty
in the life of either man or woman
who is too proud, too true to do a
mean act, but when they find a task
in duty’s path which the world con-
siders degrading, they slight it not,
but proudly scorn the world’s opinion
and do the right.-—-Exchange.

Farmers, Read This.
We must have an exhibit at the
Dallas fair this, fall, and there are some
things that must be prepared and
saved now, such as bundles of grain,
samples of fruit, vegetables, etc. Be-
fore threshing let every farmer select
the largest straw and best heads of
grain and make up bundles of each
kind of grain he has and hang it up to
a joist in his barn, so the rats and
mice can’t get to it, or better, bring
it to the Times office and we will wrap
it with paper and take special care of
it. Bundles should be twelve inches
thick. We would also urge everyone
who has fruit of any kind to bring in
about a half gallon of the best of each
kind to be put up in a,preserving fluid
in glass jars. Will some one also get
a half gallon of the finest plums than
can find on the Brazos? Now, gentle-
men, if each one of you will take up-
on himself the trouble required to do
this work we can have a good exhibit,
without it we cannot. Nothing can
be done without a little effort, and let
u$ implore you to do this. Don’t any
of you stand off, thinking all the'oth-
ers will furnish enough ; this rule has
in the past left us without anything,
for each one, we suppose, thought the
others would act, and as a conse-
quence, nothing was done. Don’t

A Republic special from Onancock,
Va., says : “Arthur Coard, a suscep-
tible old batclielor living near Accomac
Courthouse, went to Baltimore about
two weeks ago and surprised his
friends and neighbors on Thursday by
returning with a wife and her mother.
They went to Coard’s home, where,
according to his own confession, he
had told them he owned a farm worth
$75,000. Not finding this true the
disappointed mother-in-law took her
daughter and returned to Baltimore
by the first steamer leaving after her
arrival. Coard accompanied them as
far as Onancock on their return and
took a very cold and formal leave of
them at the wharf.
Coard gives a very remarkable ac-
count of the way in which lie wooed
and won his wife. He says the young
lady’s mother took him to a lawyer in
Baltimore, who informed him that the
laws of that city required him to be
confined in the same house with his
betrothed eight days before he could
marry her. He was accordingly shut
up in the house and not allowed to see
his intended or to go on the street ex-
cept in company with his mother-in-
law prospective, who always -kept an

Coming Into Texas.
The Paris News prints this: A
circular has been issued by the general
passenger agent of the ’Frisco, from
which we copy as follows : “A series
of harvest excursions have been Au-
thorized from St. Louis and the east
for all points in Missousi (beyond and
including Springfield), Arkansas,
Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas, Col-
orado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Ari-
zona, Utah. Idaho and Montana, at
one single fare for the round trip.
Tickets are to be sold on August 6 and
20, September 10 and 24 and October
8,1889, respectively; tickets to be
good for return thirty days from date
of sale. These tickets will permit of
stop-off at intermediate points in eith-
er direction at pleasure within final
limit of tickets.” This will afford the
people of the east a fine opportunity
for visiting Texas.
