A Rrain-Soo hing R.medy.

The wonderous organ that crowns the
editiee Of man is not only the seat Of refec-
ton and the home of Ideally, but is the gov
erning centre of the nervous system. When
it is overwrought, undGly excited, or
affected by irregularities of those bodily
organs with which it most closely sympa
thizes, all the nerves suffer, and the general
health is impaired. The reason why Hos
letters Stomach Bitters exercise such
soothing influence upon the brain is, that
they remove those digestive and bilious
Heterogeneous which react injuriously upon
it and that in relieving irritation or weak
ness of the great sympathetic nerve which
connects the stomach and the brain, they
beneticiaily aft ct the latter organ as well as
the former. Sound sleep, clearness Of
mind, easy digestion and freedom FROM bill
iousness are insured by this prime regula-
tive tonic and nervine.

Alamo fell. The area of the county is about
$50 square miles or 339, 500 acres; 1000
sre cultivated, 20, SIG woodland ard so, 900
untitled and unfenced. The ComptroIler'ss
report OF 1874 assesses the realty of the
county at only s., 5s1, $40. The Colorado
river divides the county from northwest u
southeast into two nearly equal parts.
There are five civil districts and five school
districts. The soil along the valley of the
Colorado is black and chocolate colored
alluvium and wonderfully productive
Along the banks of the many streams flow
ing into the Colorado. pecan, cottonwood,
elm, black walnut and hickory trees most
abound; upon the highlands everywhere
there are cedar forests and mesouit groves
Walnut, Gillelsnd, Wilbsrger's and Onion
creeks are from twelve 10 twenty-five miles
in length and their valleys are broad and
rich. The soil everywhere throughout the
county is either chocolate colored or black
and almost uniformly exuberant, though in
the mountain range of the western and
southwestern sections the land is compar-
lively poor. For the distance of twelve
miles south from Austin the land is rich, but
thence forward to the BIanco county line
the country is comparatively unattractive to
farmers. Very small and rich farms in deep
valleys may be found even here among the
lofty hills along the course of the Colorado
west an southwest of Austin. There are
productive narrow tracts on the Perdinales
entering the Colorado from the south, but
the soil in the extreme southwestern por-
tons of the county is not as rich as in other
districts. The peculiar advantages of the
county consist in its wonderful variety of
soils and products, in Its lofty hills and
broad prairies and numerous streams and
beautiful river. Corn, cotton and oats are
most successfully cultivated and vegetables
and fruits grow in greatest profusion.

THE NEWSPAPER. who read news
papers are too prone to forget that there are
others besides themselves to be pleased and
entertained in the makeup of the paper.
Farmers and stockraisers take little or no
interest in local news or city gossip, while
agricultural reading has no charms for large
proportion of journals city readers. Sc
date, learned old men frown over the silly
stories and frolicsome items that will draw
approving smiles from the illiterate and the
children. Women can not appreciate politi-
cal news, and men care nothing for the
latest fashion items, and old ladies, and
especially those who have no bellies at the
ball, will throw down paper with con-
tempt that contains q descriptive account
of bon t0a party wherein toilets are parti-
cularized, and on the other hand nothing
would so captivate young lady or make To-
cal editors universally popular with the fair
sex as elaborate and frearent articles of this
kind. Some readers of the graYer sort see
nothing interesting, perhaps, in o1r per
sonal and local dots, p" and think the space
used in noticing who leave OF arrive in the
city, when and where the next picnic or
party is to be, could he used to far better
advantage, while there are those who will
hardly read nything else. Some times a
paper must necessarily be filed with long
speeches, ''heavy" editorials on the state of
the nation, the commercial outlook, etc,

THE temperance cause in this city is up
held by one of the most iourshing Lodges
in the State. 1t has been in existence now
nearly two years, and has gone steadily
forward in numbers and influence since the
day of its organization. The members are
most enthusiastic in promoting the success
of the temperance movement, and the con-
seriousness of being engaged in a noble
cause is sufficient reward for he time and
labor expended. The meetings are held
every Monday night in the hall recently
fitted up by the Odd Fellows of this city
undoubtedly far the finest Lodge room in
the State-and we are informed by men,
bers that these meetings are well attended
and enjoyed by all.
