Weatherford Sun: The Albany
News has changed hands, Mr. L. J.
Thompson having sold the paper to
Mr. G. P. Barber, formerly of Weath-
erford. The new proprietor is a prac-
tical printer, and under his proprietor-
ship the News’ standing as a live lo-

sustained.
We appreciate the above, as it is
from one of the best weekly newspa-

Barber, formerly of this city, has pur-

called by the boys, was an associate

Herald wishes him the unbounded suc-
cess he so richly deserves. The peo-
ple of Albany should be proud of their
youthful editor, and give him a good
support. We also are young, and
know the trials and troubles and dis-
appointments incident to a young man
entering upon the arduous duties of
running a country newspaper. Suc-
cess to you, Brother Barber.

Seymour Cresset: G. P. Barber
has purchased the Albany News and
assumed editorial control of the paste-
pot and scissors. Ilis salutatory reads :
“This is my initial effort in journal-
ism, and if I stumble do not throw
another block in my path, for vve are
human and liable to err ; give a fellow
a lift; give me your aid and influence
and I pledge you my word and honor
you will never regret it. I am youth-
ful, both in years and (as stated above)
in the journalistic field. I have, how-
ever, for years followed the avocation
of a printer, and think I understand
the business pretty thoroughly, at the
same time fully realizing that I do not
know it all.” The News has always
been a good county paper, and more
than likely will continue as such.
Anson Calliope: The Albany News
is greatly improved under its new
management.
The failure of grass on the Pecos
seems to have greatly increased the
number of rabbits. They are there
by the thousands, tens of thousands
and even by the millions.; all sorts and
sizes. The typical long-eared Jack
rabbit, however, seems to be in the
majority. They, like the cattle, are
not fat. They manage to live, but
how and on what is a mystery.
Last week the Throckmorton Times

The Wonders of Advertising;.
The following unsolicited testimon-
ial to the value of the Picayune as an
advertising medium, speaks for itself.
It demonstrates more strongly than
words can that there is virtue in print-
er’s ink properly applied*:
Live Oak County, Texas, \
Office of T. II. O’Gallaghan, Coun- l
ty Atty, Oakville, June 29, ’88 )
Ed. Picayune—Your long establish-
ed journal needs neither puff nor cer-
tificate, but I would like to say a word
to those who do not appreciate the
value of advertising.
A certain “personal” under your
caption of “Information Wanted,”
first published in your daily issue of
the 17th inst., brought, on the 19th,
such information to the advertiser,
my client, James Murray, as will re-
unite a brother and sister, separated
iu 1852. There is virtue in printer’s
ink. Respectfully,
T. II. O’Callghan.
Some people have a notion that pla-
cards posted on fences, hand-bills
hung on walls, cards .printed on hotel
registers, dodgers scattered around
the streets and other more or less rub-
bishy contrivances furnish an attract-
ive means of advertising; but after all
there is no method of reaching all
classes and conditions of people in
the greatest numbers that can compare
with the columns of a widely circu-
lated newspaper. It beats every other
means of securing public atteution so
far that it is useless to mention them
in the same breath,, and as an exam-
ple of it a few lines from an advertiser
in Texas, inserted in the “want” col-
umn of the Picayune secures informa-
tion that re-unites a family which has
been broken up for nearly forty years.
It is really one step in the develop-
ment of a wild romance.—N. O. Pic-
ayune.
Rough Waters Oiled by Birds.
The English Army and Navy Jour-
nal prints a letter from a naval officer
who suggests that the aueieuts, who
knew the value of oiling troubled wa-
ters, learned this method from observ-
ing the sea birds. All the fish-eating
birds, cape pigeons, petrels and the
like- eject oil from the mouth when
captured. In the South Atlantic and
South Pacific the writer had noticed
sea birds floating in spaces of com-
paratively quiet water when the sea
around was rough The unusual
The losses by the recent fire at El-
lensburg, W. T., are figured by the
adjusters at $1,5000,000, on which
the insurance amounts to $340,000.
A serious state of things in Egypt
is staring England in the face. It is
almost incredible, but the English
have been taken by surprise by Arab
invasion after all the warnings given.
It has long been well known and of-
ten announced that the Arabs were
preparing for a supreme effort against
Egypt. The children of the desert
have longed for revenge and lusted
for ravage. To despoil the Egyptians
has been their watchword ever since
the unfortunate evacuation of the
Soudan, and here is a horde estimated
at from 800 to 10,000 men already
upon the borders of the land with
nothing but a handful of native troops
to oppose them at the outpost.

J. E. McConnell, County Attorney:
Dear Sir—In reply to your letter of
the 8th inst., you are advised that it
does not appear to be very clear from
the reading of Article 259 Penal Code,
whether the financial statement re-
quired to be made by the commission-
ers court are to be for the quarter of
the year beginning with the regular
quarterly terms of the court, or for
the quarter ending on the last days of
March, June, September and Decem-
ber. Our opinion, however, is that
the statements should be made on the
first of April, July, October and Jan-
uary that the quarterly statement made
July 1st should be posted at the court
house door, and the quarterly state-
ment made January 1st should be pub-
lished, the statement in each ease to
cover the three mouths immediately
preceding the making of the state-
ment. Respectfully,
Jno. T. Craddock,
Office Assistant.

eral well known artists, including
Mr. Walter Crane, A. J. McWherter,
A. R. A., Mr. A. R. Parsons, Mr.

to overcome that other men do not
encounter. For instance, his range
of talent must be more extensive.
Good business ability in ordinary lines
of trade is a guarantee of success.
The successful publisher must not on-
ly be a good business man, but in ad-
dition thereto he must be a good ready,
writer and a man of good sound judg-
ment that will tell him what to write,
and, what is of much more importance
what not to write. There is more
skill necessary in deciding what to
leave out of a paper than there is in
what to put in. It is a rare case to
find combined in one individual all
these elements of success, and with
any one of them lacking the publica-
tion of a newspaper becomes uphill
work, and the man who does possess
these qualifications will command a
salary that will soon remove him from
the office of a country newspaper.
The newspaper man is proverbially
a poor man, with no money in his
pocket and no credit at the bank. He
lives off what is given him by kind
neighbors and stands off his help and
his creditors with an exhibition of
cheek that would make a government
mule blush. This is a sort of reputa-
tion that appears to cling to publish-
ers—especially the publishers of coun-
try weeklies—men who write editorials
and collect bills when they are collect-
able, keep books, run a had press and
wash rollers and set type for amuse-
ment.
The Niagara Falls crank, Graham,
started to make his fearful trip over
the falls last week, but was persuaded
to send his vessel over empty first, to
see if it would work. Twenty minutes
later fragments of the vessel were
picked up below the falls. Graham
is going to build another boat and try
the descent yet if he is not prevented
by the authorities. It is to be hoped
they will stand aside and let him end
his adventurous career, if he is so anx-
ious to do so.
Jake Campbell, a local barber, of
Abilene has challenged Jake Kilrain

Julius C^usaii honored the 12th of

world on that day.
The Albany House,
The Oldest Rider in the World.
Mr. William Brown, of Chicago,
has a history of more than ordinary
importance, as he is, The Stage
thinks, probably the oldest circus ri-
der in the world to day. He is now
«l^4is ninetieth year, and at the age
of 4 1-2 years he began life as a rider.
At that time he was living in his
motherland, old England, and was
attached to Hengler’s circus. He
continued with Hengler until he was
13 years of age, when his famous
horsemanship attracted the attention
of King George III, and he became
an attache of the royal stables. The
second year of his engagement by the
king he was made first jockey. While
in this position he piloted many noted
harses to victory, and many times re-
ceived the approbation of his high-
ness and also substantial reminders of
his value as a jockey.
After the death of George III Mr.
Brown again returned to the circus
business, and with the money he had
accumulated during his engagement
with the king he started a show oi his
own. He returned to his first love of
bareback riding, and while perform-
ing in Germany fell from his horse and
fractured both of his legs. This did
not discourage him, and he acted as a
clown until such time as he was able
to resume his riding.
He came to this country in the ’50s
and was with Rentz’s circus in 1871,
when he retired from the busiuess and
settled down in Chicago.

of steers must get over the short-
sighted policy of crowding too many
steers into cat's. Where does the
profit come in this business. Dan
Kyle of Socorro county, had a train

ness in two or three months.

While the tendency of natives has-
been downward, Texas cattle of all
classes have ruled strong and sold

sheep is good and prices fully steady
with last week’s close. Respectfully*
