the same time, Jimmy NewcOmb, the
late secretary of state, was found I'm
his Office and refused TO deliver up the
keys, or get out Of the way, until there
was AN amiable suggestion from some
one that the sergeant-at-arms had bet
ter kick him out as he seemed so anX-
ious forthat ceremony, when he rose
and departed to parts unknown. There
had been, from appearances, great
burning of papers in both of
fees. But whether these were pub

value, or only the evidences of private
depravity, Is not yet known.
The adjutant general behaved with
more decency, and turned over every

Go East via st. Louis.

Now that Texas has direct rail commune
cation with the whole country, travellers
should remember that the pioneer lines of
the West afford the best and only routes
through the Indian Nation to st. Louis and
all principal cities in the Northern, Eastern
and Middle States. Passengers from Calves
ton, Houston, Austin, Waco, Bryan, Dallas,
Marshall jefferson and all other cities and
towns on the Houston and Texas railway, and
its connecting rail and stage lines, are offered
the choice of two all rail routes to st, Louis.
At Denison, Texas, connection is made with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, and
at Vinita, in the Nation, n junction is formed
with the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, by
which all passengers are carried through
out change of cars. Or, If the passengerso
desires he can, when purchasing his through
ticket, arrange to continue his journey
through Vinita to st. Louis, by way of Soda
liza and the Missouri Pacific railroad. Both
of these roads being Under one management,
equal facilities are offered in the matter CT
palatial sleeping cars, elegant day coaches,

Two Foes of Health.

Cold and damp are inimical to health, and
we generally have an unwholesome combi-
nation of the two at this season. They pene-
trate the skin and Judgements and affect the
muscular, glandular and nervous organiza-
tions, producing rheumatism, neuralgia,
chills and fever, and where there is n tenden-
cy TO dyspepsia or liver complaint, provoking
an attack of indigestion or billiousness. The
best advice that can be given under such cir
cumstances is to keep the external surface of
the body warmly clothed, and to keep the in
ternal organs in vigorous working order with
the most wholesome and genial of all tonics,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Gradually but
constantly this famous invigorant is super
ceding the adulterated liquors of commerce,
as n medical stimulant and corrective, in
all parts of the country. IL will be happy
day for humanity, and IL will sulSly come,
when this pure restorative shall have taken
the place OF raw spirits as a stimulant in all
our public or private hospitals. IL Is not,
however, merely n harmless substitute for
the fiery stimuiants referred to. Its stimula-
ting properties are not its chief merits,
although in this regard IL surpasses all the
unmedicated products of the still, doInesuc
or imported. The powerful influence II exer-
cises over the torpid and toneless stomach
and the relaxed nerves, render il a positive
specific in dyspepsia, liver complaint, intes-
final construction, nervous weakness, hyp0-
ehondria, rheumatism and sleeplessnesS. All
chronic complaints are aggravated by cold
and moist atmosphere, and ii is therefore
particularly necessary for those who are
afflicted with ailmen's Of this nature, what
ever their type may be, 10 meet this predis-
posing cause Of sickness with wholesome
antidote. Hostetter's BitteFs should be taken
daily at this season by all persons laboTing
under chronic ailments that tend to weaken
the system.

there will be no extra charge for delinquents

from this date. At the same time am urged
to use all diligence IN collecting al ~
the unpaid tax of the county, with
as little delay as possible, including
the. courthouse. and scnool tax, and
as IL is my ardent desire that should not be
forced TO put any citizen of this county to
trouble or extra expense, hope all who i nrs

will come forward at as early period as
possible and arrange their back taxes; The
delinquent list for the year 1871 is now In the
hands of the proper officer mt Austin. |
hope no citizen of the county Will permit
his name to take this course for the years

expense and trouble.
