The Journal cannot read the La-
Grange Deutsche Zeitnng, lint it is in-
formed that it out-IIcrods-llerod in its
nbtiso and vinification of Jlryan and

party. It is a very strange course for
a professed democratic journal to pur-
sue.
“Free Silver” or “Gold Standard” is
tho slogan of the several political par-
ties now, but what people are more in-
terested in is, where they can gel the
most money for what they have to sell,
and got tho most goods for I lie money

Bia CBOWD. BIO SPEECH.
The barbecue of Tuesday was a suc-
cess lu every respect Therewere about
two thousand persous on the grounds,
and there wore provisions in abund-
ance for all and some to spare.
Judgo L. W. Moore made a short
speech introducing Hon. Roger Q.
Mills, who spoke to the vast audience
for nearly two hours. His speech was
an able exposition of the political ata.
tus of the two great parties uow cou-
teudiug for the supremacy. He said
that ho had uot endorsed the free coin-
age of silvor, but bis party, the great
democratic party, had, by a large ma-
jority in convention, decided other-
wise, aud that being loyal to that par-
ty, he bowed to tho will of the majori-
ty-
The financial part of (he speech was
uot relished, as a rule, by the silver
democrats.
The senator is a flueni speaker and
an orator, his only tailing being a weak
voice, which makes it dillicult to hear
distinctry, in tho open .air, all lie says.
After lie had concluded, dinner was
announced aud tho great throng mov-
ed toward the tables, the ladies, tho
speaker and a few personal friends be-
ing admitted to the first table. After
the ladies were through thero was an
indiscriminate rush by the men for tho
tables, and it was not loug_before ev-
eryone was engaged in appoasing bis
appetite, which Lind, it seemed, become
cno nnous.
About the timo dinner was over it
commenced raining and everyone be-
gan to huut a place whore they could
keep dry. Along iu tho afieruoou
speeches were made by Judge L. W.
Moore and Mr. Jonathan Lane, but as
wo did not bear them, we can say noth-
ing about thorn.
It is given out Hint another barbecue
will bo given in October, when Gov-
ernor Culberson aud other prominent
speakers will bo present aud address
the people.

Gladness Comes
AX/itli a better understanding of the
W transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant c rforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly l>y all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tiie
one remedy w’.i'ch promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It. is therefore
ail important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that yon have the genuine arti-
zile, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
ulllicted with any actual disease, oue
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
: , i.ontd have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest, and is most, largely
used and gives most, general satisfaction.

The Americans, of Houston, came up
last Sunday to try our boys a round,
and from the beginning to the end

made four runs iu the first inuiug and
from then on until tho end of Hie game
tlioy had easy sailing. Houston failed
to scoro until the fifth inning, aud done
so on an error by LaG range. Ropor,
pitcher for the Americans, had very
poor support, while the support of

team, was almost errorless. There was
a largo attendance. The following is

Notice to Farmers and Ginncrs.
On account of Iho closing of the La-
Grange oil mill, l have found it neces-
sary to enter into a contract with one
of the largest oil millsin Houston,’Tex-
as, to liny cotton seed for them the
coining season. Said mill has promised
me to at all times pay full market val-
for cotton seed, and 1 take this
method of assuring all producers of
cotton seed Hint if they bring thoir
seed to LaG range tho coming season
they will receive full market value for
same, although tho local oil mill may
not bo in operation. I have also com-
pleted arrangements with one of the
largest firms of interior cotton buyers
to liny cotlon for them, and think I
will be able, Hie coming seasou to buy
more of Hint product than formerly,
and l ask all farmers aud merchants
having cotlon or cotton seed for sale
lo give mo a trial.

The Flatouia Argus of Inst week,
contained the following tributo of re-
spect lo tDo late Dr. B. W. Bristow by
Mr. Ferdinand P. Yoagor at bis burial
by Camp 1 G. Killough, U. C. V.:
Mv Friends—Again wo are called
tip-in to pay our last tribute of respect
to an old citizen of this lowu. Dr. B.
W. Bristow, whose mortal remains lie
cold iu death iu tiiis casket boforo us
and uow about to he cousigucd to
mother earth, was born iu Covington,
Ky._, on September, 17,1838. The doc-
tor is a descendant of tbe family whoso
members wore and nre now all promi-
nent men and women. His mother,
three sisters aud two brothers survive
him. His mother aud sistors are now
residing in Covington as also is his
Frank If I remember correctly, one
of bis sisters is principal of ono of the
high schools, and his brolhor profeasor
of music, both of whom have attained
a high degree of proficiency in their
professions; tho other brother Is prao
Being law at Aberdeen, Miss, all of
l hem highly respected. The father of
all these highly gifted people was, as
the doctor ofttimes told me, a Metho-
dist clergyman. Dr. Bristow was no
less bright minded In his early youth
ho seemed to havo developed firm
principles of an independent, wise and
free-thinking mind. Leaving school at
le me he outered the naval academy at
Annapolis, Maryland. Next we find
him iu the Rush Medical college at
Chicago, III., where lie graduated with
high honors anil where ho had Hie de
gree of M. I)., conferred upon him. At
tho nge of 23 lie enlisted in thcConfcd
crate army and was soon thereafter ap-
pointed surgeon of his command. He
was wounded iu two battles, Bull Run
anil Atlanta, Hie ellccts of one wound
lie had never fully recovered from, and
havo heard him say that it often re-
minded him of his sufferings on the
battle fields.
1 havo been intimately acquainted
with l)r. Bristow for a number ot
years; was our family physician about
eight years, and while iu the discharge
of his duties, I have found him always
efficient and pleasant in his work.
As a citizen, our friend was upright
and honest. His religious belief was
that of an agnostic, and many argu-
ments 1 can recall when lie aud I ex-
changed our religious views. Many
imes have I heard him say; “What is
tins use to bother about tho hereafter,
is not life as it is, enough to contend
with?” From his standpoint he wns
right, and L always fully accorded him
die privilege of freedom of thought
and speech that 1 claimed for myself.
Let us then accord each other freedom
iu thought so long as tho exercise
thereof docs not injure “neighbor or

A stomacliful of undigested food is
about as unhcallby a mass as ono cau
well imagine.
What can be done with il?
There il stays. It wou’t digest. It
churns up, ferments and decays; be-
comes poisonous (ns all putrid matter
docs) mid causes great pain and deop-
sented disorders.
In order lo chatigo all this,take Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial
It stops fermenting and decay at
nice, so that uo more poisons are cre-
ated.
It clears the stomach of poisons al-
ready there. B helps it to turn the
food that remains into healthful nour-
ishment. It strengthens the stomach
for the next meal.
Hero is the wholo philosophy and
cure of indigestion in a few words.
And what’s more, it’s all true. Try it.
