FARMERS, Look TO YoUR INTEREST
Merdez, on Pecan street, is encouraging
the raising of all kinds of country produce,
chickens, eggs, turkeys, butter, honey, etc.,
for shipment, as well as home use, so go to
him and sell all you can spare. You will
get as good or better prices there than any
other house in Austin. ap3 w6ms

In the last two city elections the man
sought the Office. In the next we want to
see the Office seek the man; and we will
support no other sort of candidate for
mayor than the last named.

EcoSoNY.-Aside from their excellence,
there is economy in buying DIR. Prices Fla
voring Extracts, as the bottles hold one
half more than Others purporting to hold
the same quantity. They are the most nat
ural favOrs made, and IN strength, quality
aud quantity there are none ike them.
With DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
and DIR. Prices Flavoring Extracts. we can
have articles Of our daily food made palata-
bic, enjoyable, digestible and healthful.
Thecheap articles in this line are odiOus
comparisons with DR.. Prices preparations,
which, in quality, are fit for the highest in
the land, yet at price within the reach of
the poorest. Buy the powder only in cans
securely labeled, not in bulk, as many have
been deceived thereby.

A LETTER-wRITER, whose productions
adorn the pages of an excellent cotempo-
rary, says of the bond transaction, that IN
Austin "public indignation is great, and
the STATESMAN insists that the mayor step
down and OUT He can't sell Austin bonds
on any terms. Nobody will hold them
signed by his Honor. 1t is an ugly affair
1t leads the press to talk about the necessity
for restricting suffrage in municipal cleo
tions."

cArTTAL STATE FAM ASSOCIATIONS The
regular meeting of this body took place on
Tuesday evening. The committee to re
ceive proposals for fair grounds reported
having received several informal PROPOSE
tons, but nothing definite enough to report
upon. The committee on subscriptions re-
ported $15, 900 of stock subscribed. The
last named committee was instructed to re-
port to the president whenever the amount
Of $40. 900 should be subscribed, when a
special meeting viii be called to perfect ar
Engagements for holding the first annual fair
in October next.

THE city government is rapidly leading
US down to ruin and bankruptcy. The
city's bonded debt has been increased
$40, 900 in the last six months. The ex-
tent Of the floating debt is unknown. A
satisfactory statement of the public debt at
the hands of our present rulers seems simply
impossible. The people who have these
debts to pay, whose property is rnortgaged
for them, must know where and how the
city's account current stands, and it is emil
nentIy desirable that trustworthy ex-
pert be employed by the people to investi-
gate the books and accounts of the city
that the amount we owe in the shape Of
bonds and in floating Indebtedness may be
ascertained.

IT has been published and is notorious
fact that the fire department of this city,
through its chief, Mr.. Joe Maggie, got the
new fire engine transported free from New
York to this city, and vet the ''toot-horn"
organ sagely announced two days ago that
some of the money realized from the sale of
the $40, 600 bond sale was needed and used
.toliquidate the freight charges on the en-
CINE. This thing OF resorting to falsehood
to bolster up that fraudulent bond sale
only adds insult to injury, and tends to
attract more general attention to the rotten
ness Of the city administration.

FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING.
The Los Angeles Tannery Destroyed
Supposed 20 be tho Result Of Care
essnsss-PrOperty Fully Insured.

Yesterday morning at 2:15 o'clock,
Kallisher & Co.'s tannery, on Laboret
street, east of Alameda, was discovered
to be on fire, and though the fire de-
partment was promptly on the ground,
the establishment was destroyed, ex-
cept part of the frame and the con-
tents of the tanning pits. A work
man who was in the building barely
escaped with his life, and had it not
been for an outside alarm, might have
been burned to death.
Messrs. Gundelfinger & Co. leased
the tannery about six months ago AMI
have been doing prosperous business
until this disastrous cOnf1agration.
They estimate their loss at $4,000, on
which they have an insurance of
$4,000 in the London and Liverpool
and Globe Company. Mr.. Kallisher
& Co., the owners of the building are
reported fully insured, SO that the loss
will fall on reliable insurance compa-
MES.
The cause Of the fire Is mystery,
but is charged to rowing Indians, who
loaf in any comfortable nook or cor
ner that presents itself. The fire
department deserve great credit for
their efforts to prevent the spread of
the flames, as the locality is crowded
with infiammable buildings that
might have made terribly destruct-

The Kelley Motor.

This alleged wonderful invention
which is to revolutionize the present
modes of locomotion, and entirely su-
persede steam as a motive power, seems
to survive the furious onslaught Of the
Scientific american and to number
among it's champions the most sober
minded, scientific and practical men of
the country, who appeal to facts which
can neither be explained nor gainsayed.
They admit the distinction between
pressure aud power, and claim for the
new motor that it does develop motive
power of the highest capacity, obtained
they are unable to say how from causes
inadequate, yet, nevertheless,
obtained and manifested III tangible re-
suits. They tells US that five gallons of
water in the Kelley generator" has
developed force upon lever of near
1000 pounds to the square inch, and
that twenty-six gallons have exerted a
pressure of 10000 pounds to the square
inch, equal to power of ten horses. A
number of letters are published from
scientific and practical men who testify
to what they have seen, and who prom
ise that the world will soon be con-
vinced of the value of the invention.
In these matters the world is slow of
belief, and will scarcely admit the evil
dence of its senses. When the new en-
CINE which is now being constructed is
flushed, Mr.. Kelley promises US full
proof.

ICA CITY, at the crossing of the Air

August, 12 o'clock, ank continuing from
day to day until the entire property Is
disposed of. This will afford au oppor-
turiity for purchasers to buy thes unsold
Lots, in this healthy and fastimproving
town.
Seneca City possesses peculiar advan-
tages in being located in one of the most
healthy sections of the world with full
supply of Pure Fee Stone Water. Lo-
Gated within the Cotton Belt, 1t must
command a good trade in that staple, as
well as the rich harvests gathered in the
valleys of the Seneca aud Tugaloo Rivers.

Little River affords numerous and extern
sive Water Powers, within few miles
of the city, which, taken in connection
with the fact that extensive Beds OF Fine
Iron Ore and Rich Gold mines are found
near by, insures the success of the place
and before many years shall lapse, 1t
will undoubtedly be the largest city in
the Western section of South Carroll

will be without reserve, on the following

Counting Chickens.

On bill of particulars in suit heard
before Judge Claiborne Snead,. of the
County Court, yesterday, there was a
charge for 100 chickens at IS cents apiece
amounting to $55. This was put in by
way of damage to the plaintiffs chick
ems, it being claimed that the enforced
removal of certain dozen hens of plan
tiff had made them stop laying and
hence defendant should be held in dam
ages to the amount of SIS as the value Of
one hundred chickens that would have
been Matched from the one hundred or
more eggs that would have been laid If
the plaintiff had not been driven to
move her hens as alleged. This was a
strong point, but Judge Snead ruled the
damages alleged were too remote and
counting chickens before they are hatch
ed couldn't be allowed in law-and the
item was striken from the bill.-COnsti-
tutionatist.
This seems to be sensible conclusion
in respect to unmatched chickens.
Even after they are hatched, our Geor-
gia friends could buy them here at
cheaper rates than SIS cents apiece. 1t
takes a good chicken in Abbeville to
bring more than Is or 80 cents.

out Of money and provisions by reason
of delinquent subscribers he is afraid
of being forced to prolong life by re-
course to dried apples as food; taking a
good bate for breakfast, with water for
dinner to swell them, he thinks he will
be able to do without supper with the as
sistauce Of physicians. If editors don't
have hard rows to hoe then our expert
ence is at fault. It was only the other
day that another unfortunate said if he
could hold body and soul together until
artichokes came in he would be all hun

artichokes to put them in hearty con-
dition. Oh ye delinqpqents, don't you

The bfese9S sysse-n - p
r,.~r..s aL SO much per capita to re-
sponsible citizen who gives bond and
surety for the faithful performance of
his duty, which was at first recommen-
dsd by the Grand Jury, and has been
subsequently approved by other Juries,
cotatnends itself to the favorable conside-
ration Of our people as well as on &C.
count of its economy lis Of its securing
proper regard to the interests of the
paupers. There has been under the
pew system an annual saving to the
county of about S2,5O0, at the same
time that the paupers are better taken
care OF, and express themselves as bet
ter satisfied with their condition.
The efficient working of the system is
doubtless largely owing to the good
judgment, tact and Eberality of our
townsman, Mr.. Jacob Miller, who has
had the contract for the past two years,
and who is emphatically "ths right man
in the right place." Mr.. NJ. has had some
eighteen paapers under his charge, whom
he feeds clothes and furnishes with
medical attendance for the small sum of
$94 per month, making anannuat costin
the aggregate little over $4,000 against
the former expenditures of between
$4,000 and 5000 per amman. :
We have no idea that more eeotion1-
ical or satisfactory system" adopted,
or that the contract could be award:
ed to one who would more eff
GENTLY secure the objects in view than
present contractor irresponsible par
ties might be fonnd who would under
take to work at less rates, but without
doubt would starve or otherwise ILL
treat the paupers, to secure to them
selves any profit out of their contracts.
AS long as Mr.. Miller so faithfully full
fills his contracts, we trust that he will
be retained, and that Abbeville Will
continue to boast the most efficient and
satisfactory system for the sustenance
of its poor.
