White teeth, sweet breath, fragrant mouth,

Abroad, at home, east, west, north, south,
These three prime charms are sure to please
And those who Sozodont apply
Will have these charms-take heed and try.
CHARLES WITHERs, a black boy, about
eighteen years old, was shot at protracted
meeting on Robinson Hill, Friday night,
the ball passing through his hip and giving
very painful and, possibly, fatal wound.
He received the wound while fighting, but
says that he does not know who shot him
A CoLoRED preacher, across the river,
holding quarterly meeting, Indulging in
q favorite ministerial dish, attempted to do
more for the body than the soul and came
near going up on chicken bone. Timely
medical aid saved him, and the chickens in
oil that region are said to be in a most mel
ancholy mood.

THE REASON WHY.-One of the reasons
why the Diamond Spectacles" are eye
glasses have attained such high endorse
ments from all who have used them is that
as the core or centre Of the lens comes
directly in front of the eye, there is no
glimmering or wavering of sight, but clear
and distinct vision. The diamond trade
mark is on every PAIR. For sale in Austin,

THE advent of competition in passenger
rates has stimulated travel, and created ac-
tivity among railroad men representing diff
ferent routes. On Friday Centennial
bridal party was beset by the respective
agents vi the International and Central
routes, and they only escaped court plaster
opportunities when bottom figures were
reached. The Central and Pioneer route
takes the bridal party to the Centennial.
A LITTLE over 500, 900 of stock in the
Austin and Lampasas marrow gauge has
been taken, and Mr.. Smith, president of
the road, has been notified of the fact and
requested by letter to- come on.a 1t is
thought fifteen miles of road will be con-
tracted for, and that while that is being
graded stock will be taken sufficient to Sc
cure at least the building of five or ten miles
more. The enterprise should be pushed
ahead. -la
W. II. RANDOLPH, ESQ.,, has opened an
elegant stock of dry goods in the Metz
building, next to the red brick, and bar
gains are to be had there. The stock is
entirely new, well selected and attractive,
and those who have anything to buy in the
dry goods line will find Mr.. Raudolph's
shelves loaded with the most beautiful dress
patterns and fancy articles ever brought to
this city. A new advertisement of this
new store will be found in another column.
SToP Pooh MORTAL, SToP!-From rush.
ing carelessly to destruction. If you see
child playing with a 6re-brand, you take it
away to prevent confagration, and yet you
are recklessly Indifferent to the progress
which cold, a fever, a headache, chill,
constipation, ETC., makes, until the slumber-
ing fire of chronic sickness, lays you low.
Take time by the forelock, remove those
fore-runnerso of sickness, enjoy good health
and you will thank US for calling attention
to and advising your use of the celebrated
Home Stomach Bitters. IzuI1gu1
THOUSANDS Of Republicans would vote for
TiIden as opposed to almost any other
prominent Republican aspirant than Bris
tow, and Democrats all over the country
would vote for Bristow should their own
party nominate man less distlnctively as
ISOLATED with the work of reform. The
great mass Of independent voters would
vote for either of these candidates should
but one be placed in nomination.-San

hoft,s Tonic cures chills and fever, dumb
chills and bilious fevers-those titans that
kill their thousands where this remedy is
unknown. 1t cures enlargement of the
spleen. 1t cures hypertrophy of the liver.
1t hurts no one. 1t cures all types of mala-
rial fevers and is perfectly protective in all
its effects. Try Wilhoft's Tonic, the great
infallible chill cure. Wheelock, Finlay s.
