FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. 30, 1888. Chief Justice Waite, of the U. S. Supreme Court, died in Washington city last Friday. Janies W. Tate, the treasurer of Kentucky, is a defaulter to the amount of about $150,000, and has fled. The devil that shows his horn and cloven feet is a better devil than I the devil who dresses in the garb of a lamb. The trial of James McCoy cost his brothers nearly $2,500 according to their own statement. Did' the lawyers get all this? The new German emperor cannot talk on account of cancer of the throat. Ide can, and does, make signs though and the whole world is watching them. The czar of Russia recently pur chased from a Georgia seed compa ny 200 bushels of cotton seed. Guess his imperial majesty wanted them to feed his cow. A man was arrested in Atlanta hst the charge ofswjnd f IPPST Is it.p, this charge is true? And if it is what is the world coming to? Air. Donnelly says that in his forthcoming book he will prove that Shakspeare was not the author of the poems and plays attributed to him and that Lord Bacon wrote them. A scientist says: “If the land was flattened out the sea would be two miles deep all over the world.” If any man is caught flat tening out the land, shoot him on the spot. A great many people can not swim. The man who expects to go to congress from this district without committing himself for or against a reduction of the thieving tariff is certainly basing his hopes of success upon the ignorance of the people to their interests. A brother editor sorrowfully re marks : “We would like to remind our subscribers who owe us that we have to go to bed while our wife patches our pants. Will you please take heed therefrom and smile on us when in town.” Are there any who see something belonging to some one else which they desire? If so they should be consoled by remembering that the . world is full of just such people. 1 For who have their desires? Or! having them, are satisfied? In a lecture delivered in Atlanta recently upon Palestine Dr. Findel-' kind, who has made the subject a : life study, said there are few chang- | esin the manners and customs of the people of Asia Minor from what they were when Christ was there. Last Sunday was a beauti f ul day and the church goers were large I Douglasville Star. The above item creates the pain ful impression that no small person I attends church in Douglasville. Is this the way of it, contemporary? Dr. J. L. Selman is making a ■ specialty of manufacturing Love Drops. Only 50 cents a bottle.— Douglasville Star. We print the above item for the ! benefit of Editor J. C. Loomis and ■ I others who may need these kind | : of “draps.” j 5 i ] Maley Hassan, the sultan of AIo-' j rocco, recently had some persons I [ who claim to be Americans public-I j ly whipped. Our government ask- J ed Muley to make satisfactory rep-1 aration, but this he has refused to f do. If the persons thus maltreated ii really are Americans our govern- o ment ought to trounce this Maley s headed Mohamedan. w A Worthy Cause. We acknowledge the receipt of ‘■Etowah. A Romance of the Con federacy,” a novel written by Air. Francis Fontaine, himself a gallant ex-confederate. The book is writ ten in a pleasant, graceful style and on account of its literary- merit alone deserves a place in every home. But “Etowah” has other claims that this upon the Southern people, which makes it a matter of duty to purchase a copy of the book. This can best be shown by extracts from the dedication, as follows: “To the disabled Confed erate Veterans this book is respect fully dedicated by a fellow soldier, with the hope that it may be the means nf inaugerating a practical sympathy for them commensurate with their necessities. “You confronted nearly three million enlisted men, during four years of the bloodiest was on re cord, with a patriotism and hero ism unsurpassed in history.*** “While $12,000,000 a month are paid as pensions to the Federal soldiers, whether wounded or not, no government pension these South ern soldiers, and no public chari ties have been organized, even for the wounded. “Philanthropy had never a nobler ; field of labor, and a patriot's grat | itude cannot find more worthy reci ! pients than maimed heroes who yielded all in defence of their coun try.** As a slight contribution to build ing a Veteran's Home iu the city of Atlanta, Ga., one-half of the pro ceeds of this book will be applied to that purpose.” Air. Fontaine wants an agent in every town, and, as the book is likely to have a large sale, agents will do well to secure territory at once. Address him at Atlanta, Ga. Why He Looked Bad. It is said that Southerners living near Alason and Dixon’s line, and especially Kentitckians.jfrve a hor ror of being mistake# fhr North ‘'■ners'.' On a recent occasion a long, lank, sorry looking individual who was on a train crossing the Ohio river from the Indiana side, ; was approached by a portly person who attempted to open a conversa ■ tion by remarking i , “From Indiana, eh?” The long, lank individual flashed a look of astonishment upon his interlocutor which gradually gave place to an expression of grief a id sorrow. “Naw, stranger,” he answered 1 “I live in Kaintucky. I’ve had ther typhoid fever fer six months; that’s why I look so bad.” 1 We cannot notice what every one • says in regard to what has appear ‘ ed in these columns in regard to ’ the AlcCoy trial. What has been ’ published was based on the state- • ment of reliable min, and was the opinion of this paper formed there from. We have not dealt in per- i sonalities or “filthy abuse” of Judge Fain, and we know our read . ers will sustain us in this asser i tion. We still are confident what I has been said is true; but other people may not think so, ::u£l 'they have a perfectright to thenk opin ion as we have to ours. Those are I some people incapable of distin ; guishing between legitemate criti- I cism and “filthy abuse” and it is j time wasted to notice this class. Simmons Liver Regulator \ is what the name indicates a “Reg- I ulator” of that most important or- I gan, the Liver. Is your Liver out of order? Then is your whole sys i tern deranged, the breath offensive, you have headache, feel languid, dispirited, and nervous, no appe tite, sleep is troubled and unre freshing. Simmons Liver Regulator restores the healthy action of the I Liver. See that you get the Genu < ine, prepared by J. H. Zeil in & Co. 1 The present congress is full of I men who have only sufficient back-, bone to draw their salaries and i mail seeds and agricultural reports at public expense to their constitu-| ants. And this district, apparently, is full of men who want to go there for the same purpose. Leland Stanford, 17.I 7 . S. senator I from California, is having erected . at a cost of SIOO,OOO a masoleum in i which to be buried when he dies. I P. S. Air. S. owes the government i $13,000,000 which it advanced him i to build the Pacific railroad which ■ he refuses to pay. Chas. Dickens, the son of his j father, has been giving public read ings in this country from the works i of Chas. Dickens, the father of h.is son. It is said the son can read as wi il as the father wrote. FROM TEXAS. Howe, Grayson Co., Texas.'/ March 14th, 1888. i Please allow me to give your ma ny readers a few dots from this por tion of the “Lone Star.” Grayson county has for its northern bound ary the beautiful Indian Territory and adjoining the counties of Den ton, Collin and Fannin. Its beautiful rolling surface makes some 960 square miles and since 1846, when it was organized, the population has steadily increas ed, until by the last census its peo ple number 50,000 souls. Two thirds of the county is prai rie, while the remainder is made up of woodlands, containing oak, ash, elm, hackberry, pecan, hickory, cof feebean, sycamore, walnut, niulber by, boisdaic and other varieties of timber. In point of water supply, no county in the state has greater ad vantages, there being a long list, commencing with the Red river, which dampens mother earth and furnishes material for steam, and drinking water for man and beast. Plenteous springs well up in abun dance and in their crystal clean ness gladden the thirsty, meeting in their constant flow all the wants of I a progressive people. From quaries located within the county handsome dwellings and business houses are erected, besides furnishing material j utilized in hundreds of ways. In . the soils of Grayson county there is that substance with ■which pro lific results are obtained. Here cotton sits on the agricultural throne yielding from a half to a bale per acre. Corn is also a staple pro duction ard yields from 30 to 80 bushels per acre. Oats are a very ; sure crop and yield from 40 to 80 I bushels per acre, and have even ■ reached as high as 100 bushels. Wheat as a staple is not so sure, hut yields from 18 to 40 bushels per acre. Almost every vegetable known to the human race can be readily grown here, and fruits of the greatest variety and abundance flourish with startling success. We have a healthful and delightful cli mate. The average temperature be | ing about 60 degrees. Very light snow falls.MKie winter is generally three forths of is a delightful I Indian summer. Our railroads are all known for | their great carrying capacity and’ I thorough equipments, belonging as they do to the best known system I of the railroad age. Here the migh ty Alissouri Pacific, the Texas Pa cific, the Iron Mountain, the Mis soura, Kansas and Texas, the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas, the ■ Houston and' Texas Central, the - Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and > theTusco lines all come into this i beautiful region, spanning and crossing, opening and developing I the magnificent distances of pro- I gressive Texas. I see the farmers ; of Chattooga have organized a so -7 ciety known as the “Farmers Alli-1 • auce,” which is beyond a doubt a grand thing. Will give the farmers i a few remarks in regard to our Al '' liance which is doing a great work. I We have our own stores of different ■ kinds, thresh our own grain, gin our ■ own cotton and in fact manage all • of our business such as handling • our grain, etc. The Alliance is now ; building a mill at Sherman, the county seat, which is to cost be tween $35,000 and $40,000 with a capacity of 175 bushels of grain per ■ day. With best wishes to the News, Yours truly, G. 15. R. Smith. March April May ■ Are months in which to purify the C blood, as the system is now most • | susceptible to benefit from medi i cine. Hence now is the time to | take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a medi- ' I cine peculiarly adapted for the pur pose, possessing peculiar curative j powers. It expells every impurity ■ from the blood, and also gives it i vitality and richness. It creates j ; an appetite, tones the digestion, in-; ■ vigorates the liver, and gives new ■ I life and energy to every function of ' the body. The testimony of thous-' : ands, as to the great benefit derived j from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, should I convince everybody that it is pecu- * liarly the best blood purifier and i i spring medicine. It will occasionally occur to one’s I ' mind that if people were just as l I good, or even half as good, at at-1 j tending to their own business as j ■they are in talking about other ■ people they would get along some- i ' what better than they do. —: —- It is prohsiblethat Speaker Gar-1 lisle, ex-Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, i now a resident of New York, or E.; J. Phelps, Aliinister to England, will j be appointed by President Cleve-1 land to succeed the late Chief Jus- ! tice Waite, Trion News Items. Sunday night we had a very hea vy rain. The factory was started up Monday morning as usual, but in less than an hour and a half the water in the river had risen so much that is became necessary to shut down the factory until noon Tuesday. The river rose at the rate of twenty-one and a half inch es an hour in the fore part of the day, until by two o’clock p. m. it was higher than it has been in about two years. There was no damage of consequence done at the factory, but about half past one p. m. a large drift struck the bridge that spanned the river a half mile below the factory, and sent it toward the Gulf of Alexico or some other big pond. The stone pillar in the middle of the river on which the bridge rested was completely demolished. A portion of the north end of the bridge lodged just below where it had stood, but the most of the structure floated down the stream. A considerable portion of the railroad bridge had been put in position, and a large amount of timbers were lying near the river banks. All that portion which was raised is swept away, and a good deal of loose timbers also. John Allman, who was accident alljr shot in the head last week, an account of which I gave vour read- I ' ers in my last communication, is i doing very well, considering the se riousness of the wound. The chances for his recovery are fovar able. N. H. Gilreath says the peaches in his orchard are not all killed by the late cold snap. It Would be ft I very nice thing if we could have plenty of fruit this year, so that : we could indulge iu fruit pies with ! out paying the moderate price of 114 cents per pound for dried fruit. A few days ago Air. John Lively was riding on horseback, when from some cause the horse fell ahd I injured Air. Lively considerably. It was stated that he had the bone of one ley broken, but I have since learned that the bone was not bro ken. I do not know what Air. Allgood thinks of the matter, but it seems to me that the county Ought not to build another bridge (it the same place where the Old one stood, but ' should be located at a point just i above the factory where the road I crosses the river. When the river is swolen so that the bridge is most • I needed, the traveling public is cut off-from its benefits on account of the lowlying ground on each side of the river. At the point before mentioned, the banks never over flow so as to interfere with travel at any time. The road could be changed by running across from somewhere near the Penn place to the factory, and then buck of Air. Allgood’s home place and intersect the present road somewhere between A. C. Rinehart’s and Dr. Rudicil's. This may seem to others nothing but a wild notion of mine, but I ; know there is considerable incon ! venience to travelers on the old j route, on account of the lowground ; on each side of the river. j Rev. Air. Tucker filled his regu ; lar monthly appointment at this I place Saturday night, Sunday and | Sunday night last. The following persons united with the church, viz : W. F. Massey, Mrs. Laura Massey, Aliss Mattie jMassey, Aliss Alary Alassey, Aliss Gertie Brownfield, all by letter. Rev. Air. Tucker left Trion Alonday v morning in a buggy, aiming to get 5 across the back water in the lane . between the bridge and old ( Impel. Cicero Greeson who was with Mr. Tucker, told him the water was too ■' deep but the Reverend gen tleman might have thought it wi uld never do for a Baptist preacher to ibe afraid of “much water” so he plunged in, but soon got to where the buggy began to float and ‘ alighting found the water nearly up to his neck. He waded some distance to terra firma. Guess if , Air. Milner had have been present jjust then, he might have had a i good opportunity of convincing the brother that too much water is not so desirable after all. Air. Allgood has placed a boat in i the river where the bridge formerly j stood, and streched a rope across I the stream so that the boat is un ! dor control, no matter which side 'of the river a person may be. This i will be a great convenience to trav i elers. Air. John C. Wilson's littledaugb i ter, Dora, is very low with pneumo : nia, and may not live many days, i James W. Wotten has paid for his paper up to Feb. 4th. Aliss Nellie Bandy sends the News to an i uncle in Arkansas. This is the i correct thing to do. Any person ; who has ever lived in this county i will be pleased to recieve the News ■ every week. Will some one • Ise j send it to a friend? N. H. Coker. The quintessence of politen ss ! has been reached at Afilan, Italy, where cremation is practiced, and ■ where a nobleman during a recent i frost strewed the ashes of his first 1 wife on the pavement to enable his second wife to reach her carriage without slipping. FROM BRONCO. Among our fertile minded young men public debating seems to be the latest shoot. ’Tis not often that two hundred and fifty people assemble in the country to witness such exercises, but this was the case last Friday night. Question was dis cussed lengthily by a number of speakers, among them Messrs. John Shattuck, Duke Rogers, Chele Ben efield, G. D. Bradley, and Professor Shattuck, who is a very pointed, logical, and yet, beautiful speaker. From beneath the concave dome of the starry heavens he bore his au ditors feelingly to ethereal regions. Mr. Benefield embroidered the minds literally of those who heard him. Mr. Bradlej’ moved his hearers to many smiles. The Temperance ville school is contemplating a bright little entertainment at the close, third week in April.

It is the channel through which the natural advantages and the lo cal enterprises of the community are made known to the outside world. It helps the schools, encourages and booms enterprises of every kind that go to develop a county, and in short is invaluable in more ways than we have space to tell, forming a weekly medium of ADVERTISING which is so essential in these mod ern days to success in any field.
