Good Coffee.

If you are fond of coffee and want the
genuine article, never allow the water to
boil after the pulver:zed berries have
been put in the pot. Have the water
boiling b ct, take the vessel off the fire,
pour in the coffee and stir well. Let it
stand near the fire five or ten minutes,
keeping the liquid closely covered, and
then it is ready for use. By this mode
you retain all Of the aroma and strength
Of the berry. BY boiling coffee, the old
way, you lose the greater part of the very
substance which should be retained.
Try this plan once, and you will never
resort to the old one again. In the
woods, on the prairies and at home, we
have quaffed many a cup of coffee far
superior to that made in large cities by
high-priccd cooks, just because we made
it right. Nothing is needed to SETTLE"
the coffee: in parching be particular not
to burn the berries but have them brown
and crisp; then proceed as above, and
our word for it you will never wait IN
til the coffee boiIs again.

The business of packing green corn il
tin cans for preservation and future use
has become extensive, and dealers in the
Western States are much excited over
an attempt lately made by company in
Portland, Name, to monopolize it by
means of an exclusive patent right Two
cases have been heard in the courts, one
in Maine and one in Massachusetts, In
the Maine case Judge Clifford not only
decided that the patents held by the
Maine packers were valid, hut, according
to the newspaper reports, volunteered the
extra judicial opinion that no good corn
can be packed except by their process.
In Massachusetts, however, Judge Lowell
refused an injunction claimed by the
Maine Pa;entees on the ground that there
seemed to J e no validity ia tn, patents.
The matter will go to the Supreme Court
of the United States for a fiual decision.
If these proceedings should cause total
cessation Of the tIade in the indigestible
stuff for a series Of years, the public
would be decided gamers by the litiga-

The Darkest and Brightest Day of

Thomas Palmer proves himself to be
a writer Of no ordinary descriptive pow
ers, as will be seen by reading the follow
ing article:
l settled II Texas in 1924. Nv wife.
the daughter of Judge Teal, landed in
San Philippe in March, 1924, she being
the oldest female settler that I know of
in Texas. 1t was not when we had fail
ed to kill a deer we had dinner-it was
not when our little children lay down on
their beds of hides we expected them to
be scalped before morning-it was not
when one Of the family took sick we
would have to ride thirty miles to find a
neighbor-a doctor being out of the
questiOn-no, it was not then that the
vaudals of Mexico laid their iron hands
upon our liberties. We met them at
San Alamo. We had no mails. l see a
rider coming in full speed; he bears It'd
ings. What is the news The Alamo
has fallen; brave Travis is dead the
great Tennessee soldier, David Crockett,
fell from the wall a corpse with old
Bets in his dying grip; the brave jun
Bowie was cut to pieces On 4 bed Offever,
deliFious; none saved but Mrs. Dickson
and infant; they were left to tell the
news. 1t is getting dark [ see a rider
coming, his horse fOaming-what is the
news2 Goliad has fallen Fann.n SUR
rendered with four hundred men as pris-
oners of war. They were disarmod,
marched out and shot. 1t is getting very
dark. Here comes a man from another
directiOn-the news? Ny friend, the
Indians have taken the ferries on Sabine,
| killed and scaIned several families and
are on the war path. The wife's bleed
ing heart wiIted. The curly headed
prattlers seemed only to hold their little

| The whole Mexican force Is at their heels
Santa Ann and the bloody General

II Paso, Texas.

Fl Paso, the terminal point of the
Western Division Of the Texas and Pacl
fic Railway ir Texas promises to become
u place Of considerable Importance upon
the completion Of that road. Ii is the
centre of an extensive grape country,
from which q considerable portion of
western Texas and Eastern Mexico are
supplied with wine and brandy. Recent
ly an extensive bed of Unanimous coal
has been discovered in the southern part
Of I'll Paso county, and about two miles
north Of the town is an ancient silver
mine which has lately been reopened.
This mine, according to tradition, was
one Of the richest known TO the Span
iards. The lode is we'll defined, and has
been traced some four miles with an av-
erage width Of forty feet, and is so clear,
ly defined that person can walk upon it
for most of the distance upon the out

hero, the work of Larkin J. Mead, Jr

from all parts Of the State to participate
in the ceremonies, joining in the process

missioner Of the statue fund, and the
ceremonies ended at night with a grand
exhibition of pYroteehnics, the principal
piece displaying in letters of fire the
memorable words of Cen Allen in which
he demanded the surrender of Ticonder-

GenL r. p Nicely, President H. d K
r. p, SUI am much interested to
know that your road Is progressing
It seems probable that the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad will avoid this noun
tain, and will run through the valley of
the Tennessee river, at the base of Wall
denis Ridge While expressing no opin-
ion as to the wisdom Of adopting that
route, greatly regret the fact.
If, at this time, you were prepared TO
put this part CT your road runder con-
tract, the inhabitants of this county
would subscribe very literally of land,
of which they have large amounts; and
the road itself would cause an active de-
mand for it at enhanced and rapidly en-
HANGING prices. The people are hungry
for a railroad, and although poor in mon
ey are we'll supplied in land, and that
land abounds with what will enrich a
road, viz: minerals and timber. No out
slider can form a proper apprehension of
the enormous amount or excellent quali7

beds have been opened on this table
and that are fifteen feet thick OF the

An Unfortunate Affair

4 very sad aud unfortunate affair &C
Cured here yesterday evening, resulting
in the shooting, at his residence, Of Dr.,
MassengilI from a pistol in the hands of
Mrs DR. Evans Mrs. Evans IS the sis
ter in-law Of Dr.. MassengiIi, at whose
house her husband and self have been
boarding. We understand that an UNI
pleasantness has existed between them
for sometime, and that Dr. Massengiil
was under the influence Of whisky at the
time Of the shooting. But as there are
two sides to the affair, each Numerically
opposite, we refrain from attempting to
give further facts connected with it, for
the present The wound is in the head ,
just below the temple, and is a serious,
but not necessarily fatal one The affair

The Heavy Mortality at Gallatin

During the prevalence Of the epide mic
here our estimate Of the population re-
naming is 800 In this we are sustain
ed by the opinions Of the citizens. The
deaths by cholera, strictly withIucorporate
limits, to this writing, "Wednesday, July
,, have been an hundred. We have,
therefore, lost one in every fifteen, CT six
and two-thirds per cent. This IS an ap-
paIiing figure and shows a larger NOR
tally in Gallatin than elsewhere. II
goes far beyond that of Calcutta, where
in tine sickiest year 1t is only two and a
half per cent. 1T Nashville, from 1888
to 1913, after the advent Of cholera, it
was 4 5 per cent In 1866 it rose to
nearly per cent This is above the to-
tai mortality inclusive Of cholera. IF an
inhabitant Of GaIlatin could have fore,
seen on the last day Of June that one
person in every fifteen would be lying IN
q grave, he would have been appalled, at
the fearful picture; and yet it is true.
And we are glad that our absent friends
were not here to witness the terrible
scenes of the past month, the deserted
street and closed houses; the the general
gloom that Swallowed the entire town the
almost painful silence that brooded over
all, and broken only by the rumble Of
hearses over the streets and the lamenta-
tons of the strickens urvivors.- GdLIa-
