Then lisped she soft: “Why, 131 v 1" (Original.) For Ciiekokkk Advanck. A Mother'd Love, work with a vim preparing to plant n larger acreage in cotton this year. The corn crop was injnred by Iho long drouth in the summer, bat this deficiency was, in, part, made good by au abuudant crop of mast, on rhich hogs grew fat in the woods wi*hout trouble orexpeuse to their owners. Most persons slaughtered their hogs during the cold wave which passed over the conn try Christ mas holidays; and millions of pounds ol pork, it is estimated, were lost in this State in consequence of the sum* mer-lik* weatbar that ao quickly lol- lowed. Our local paper* bate much to say concerning the advantages to be de rived from the use ol the Clement Attachment, a machine Lhaieonverts the lint cotton into yarn as it sept' rates it from the seed. Three of Cass county’s eaeigtlic and enter prising citizens have determined to give the attachment a trial, and will leave in a short time for Carolinn to witness its performance and gather all the information necessary to en able them to put up and operate (he machine. ’ ■ / At Kellyville, five miles west of Jt-flerson, Texas, the large plow fac- tory ol G. A. Kelly, the store ol J, Bowen, and other buildings all be longing to Mr. Kelly, were destroyed by tire an the 21st, ult.,. The loss is estimated at 115,000. No insu rance except $2,000 on Mr. Brown’s property, which wil| nearly cover iris loss. Mr. Kelly is rebuilding and will be ready for business again in a short time. I have received Nv. I and 2 ill tire Cherokee Advance, and am w< pleased with it. It is worthy ol liberal share of patronage, and should have the unanimous support ot the citizens of Cherokee county. T. A. B. What is stronger or more lasting than a mother’s love? Watch her us she benda over the smiling face ol her infant; with what rapture sht- presses the loud treasure to her bos- oaa. It is her darling, her pride. When in aicknes who keeps the long night watches, and catches every muttered word or moan ? It is the devoted mother. She smooths the pillow of her suff-riug child and her gentle lone falls like sweet music to the ear. It has been said, “What is home without a mother ?” Ah, the truth that is implied in these words. Bow sad and desolate the child is who is bereltofa mother. The gentle in fluence she has ever her children, their frieud and counselor in all their joye and sorrows. She points out to them the evils of life, and endeavors to lift their thoughts to u higher, nobler sphere, and her love and labor is not lost. Lessons learned from a mother’s lips will linger in the in c m ory of her children when they have attained man or womanhood. And when in an hour of temptation they will come like a ministering angel beckoning them back from over the dark abyss. "We ought to love our mother, She loved us long ago; There is on earth noue other That ever loved us so.’ - Meriton. LETTER FROM TEXAS. Daihgbbpield, Texas, ) February, 1880.

Fire insurance policies do not in elude in their indemnity among oth er things ihe following : Fence* aud other yarl fixtures ; also store furui tiire and fixtures and plate glass doors and windows, when the plates ure af dimension of three feet or mors. It is important that this fact bs mentioned in the wording of the policy, il such articles are to be in eluded under the policy.

The follow ing articles also are not included in the security of a fire insurance poli cy, unless mentioned, viz: Jewslry, plate, watches, musical instruments, ornaments, medals, curiosities, pat terns, printed music, printed books, engravings, paintings, pic> nr* frames, soulptures, cast aud models, money or bullion, bills, notes, accouuts, ev idence of debt, or securities. These should always be specified, lfa build ing falls, no insurance will attach, or cover its loss, unless it is caused by fire. Stolen property is not to be E aid by the insurance company. tosses from explosions are not to be paid, unless fire ensues, and then on ly the actual lire loss is to be settled ”for.
