The Peculiar People, several OF
whose members are now awaiting trial
for granddaughter in not calling III aid
when members of their body were
sick, have resolved boldly to put Ia
practical test, the question as tn
whether medical aid is really II neces-
sity, or whether prayer alone is not
sufficiently etlicacious in all eases OF
sickness. For some SINE prst large
twenty-roomed house, situated i'll Tow

wheat raised south of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers is always more valut'
bic than Northern wheat, and brings
more per bilshcl, for il is dricr, is less
liable to sour or fcrmcnt, and is sought
after 10y the millcrs for transportation
to distant and tropical markets. 1t il

bread than the best Gencssee or Wcs-
tern flour to the barrel. Southern far
mcrs do not know their own power in
this matter of wheat; they can get
their crops to market three, four, five
and six weeks ahead of the Northern
wheat-growcrs, and with II far better
wheat for outside markets, they could
control the whole foreign demand, and

Why Texas is the best State in the
Union, and why 1t Is the Paradise OF
men of small means:
|. Because there il less sickness and
fewer deaths ia Texas than in any
other State in the Union, If any conf
dence can bc placed in the official
census of tile United States.
=. Because hundreds and thousands
of acres of land, as productive us the
famous Valley of the Nile, can I've
bought in large or small quantities, nj
from two to three dollar an acre.
3. Because an unlimited humber of
of horses, cattle, sheep, goats and
swine can be raised at no expense, save

4. Because lie can raise more grain
of any kind, name or description /;
more cotton aud tobacco, one season

their precious legs, for the anilinc'ycs
used la producing certain colors are

sore legs must lie the worst aud most
destructive of beauty. Strength, grace
and good looks are walked away on
such legs. A great American genius,
the late Mr.. Hawthorne, had said that
a white stocking is infinitely more eff
fective than black one and, certain
ly, white stockings and little, low
black shoes form n chdussure that has
no equal for feminine feet and legs,
