The crsziest. noisiest house on Pecan street
would be deaf and dumb asylum in Dali
las. That fellow lien must be the head of
the Izengiass family, and slightly cracked
anyhow.
A nice young man with carpetsack and
tooth brush, after patient courtship. in
duced an old lady of sixty-five summers to
marry him. He sQuandered her property
In two months, and she was turned, home
less, bedless and penniless, into the street
last Tuesday. The husband has returned
TO Chicago.
A norther is about as common as CHRIST
mas in San Antonio, and the old town gets
half drunk when it blows or half the town
gets holly drunk, and no climatic event is
so eagerly looked for and generously well
| coined by the old denizens drifting about
on the canals and ripping rivers of rare old
San Antonio.
The Register should ask Murray about the
'focal" cattle shipped from Denison. The
STATESMAN copied the Netcs just to find out.
Il may be that the NeIes refers to the cattle
that gather up local" cuds for melancholy
| reflection about the streets of the infant
| wonder. But it is Martin, and not Murray,
that is always getting chawed.
By the late fire in Corsicana the follow
ing named persons were burned out: VIM.

s HOrd, W. III. McElwee. L. Cohen. N.
N. Frank, A. Aaron, P. Vogel. Saunders
| Murray, NJ. c. Jewell & Co., Max Miller,
l.. GAMBIA, John Yeung, Steve Smith and
the unoccupied house of L. n. Lee.
Tom Crooks told the boys to go in and
celebrate and burn tar and frO-crackers,
and if they found themselves mistaken, and
that Hayes was actually elected, they
| could feel devilish good for one night
anyhow. Crooks is the philosopher of Sher-
man, and his Genealogical burdens are hor-
jzontally imposed upon tie OsteG Certe6rata.
New Braunfels peope must be stupendous
asses when they pay 800, 900 to induce
Pierce to build his road through their farms
and yards and gardens and Hon. John Ire
land sues the company for damages because
| it constructs its highway through his es-
tate. But these Germans don't know how
they will be ruined by the road and the
judge does.
Shipments of cattle from Dcnison this fall
show over 100 car loads of local cattle
shipped to date. There were also about
| 1000 cars Of cattle transferred to the NJ, K.
|
| of 2700 cars. This is but little short Of last
| years shipments, and is a sure sign that
Denison will still remain the principal ship
ping point for years to come.
Mrs. PEBBLES, of Waller county, has been
experimenting in sugar making. The cane
matured finely, and the sugar and syrup
produced is fine. She will go extensively
into the cultivation of cane, and the facts

ribbon cane, except on a very small scale,
has never been carried On father north than
Fort Band and Wharton counties.
A fellow named Lur called at the house
of Mr.. Ball, of Fort Worth, and presenting
pistol at Mr.. Balls head urged him to
sign paper, then and there also presented.
Ball was sensible and thinking Lur fool or
| knave enough TO execute his threat signed
| the billet 6oLr. The Democrat man says he
would have sIgued it if it had been a note
for million pounds sterling.
Jcre Galvan's intended, we are told by
Ell Democrata, is named Augustine. which
is juicy and nice. We located Jerc and
Stephen Powers and Sheriff Seaman, all, in
Corpus Christi. The mistake originated in
the well-kuown and unadulterated good
ness of these men. But there's no one
|
and we always put him about in spots.
Victor E. Vaughan was victor among sad
dlery and harness manufacturers at the late
fair. He walked away with tine blue RIB
bon alike for Texas and English saddles,
| for the best display of harness, and then
for splendid double set of harness, all
! mounted with silver and jewels and gold.
| The cavalry officers of the West were enrap
tared with Vaughan's splendid work.
Mr.. Poe, of Giddings, was proud to have
| 1894 all at once in his little red pocket
book, and he exhibited his treasures when
paying little bill In the midst OF the good
people of his town, and the pocketbook
was gently lifted out of poor Poe's paws.
| and ever since Poe has stood solemnly and
sad y, like Poe's raven, and, weeping, sings
of his split spondulix, Il will see it never
| moe"
Mr.. James Wabblc married Miss Mary
| Grubbs IN Denson. There are queer,
unearthly names in Dickens's stories, but
the originals, we are told, are facts in
| London nomenclature. But Dickens never
| discovered more unmusical appellations
| than those above. The descendants of
such parentage must be Wabbling Grubbs.

The Legislature failed to make provision
| for the payment for the services of judges
of elections, and the result is that the SER
| vices of competent judges could not be Sc
| cured, and in many places no election was
| held and in others, when held, was not in
| accordance with the law, and the election
was void. Why didn't the constitutional
| convention (which undertook everything
discharge this little joba
The loveliest thing in Brennan, and that
| which makes Rankin's heart go thwickity-
thwacket, and busts the buttons off his
jacket, is the average Brennan girl of the
period, sailing along down the sidewalk
munching an apple, cracking peanuts and
| casting sideleng glances at Rankin. 1t
| rankles in Rankin's ADVANTAGEOUS bosom,
| and the Banner is poetical in describing the
scene.
Hon. John Ireland practices what he
breaches and hates railways, and don't
want them to come fooling around his es-
tates. He has sued out an Injunction to
prevent the passage of Pierce's road through
his broad acres. Such conduct on the part
| of Webster and Clay or Calhoun would not
| have amazed our race and it is eminently
pleasing when men of practical and enlarged
sad liberal views give proper examples to
unthinking multitudes.
W. s. ]. Adams, of Comanche, who re-
signed his seat in the Legislature because
| he likes the fun of reelection, has been
making the finest speeches heard in the
West in behalf of Tilden and Hendricks.
| In fact, when Adams got out near the Rio
Grande the people bccame so absorbed in
him and his earnest, vehement eloquence
that there wasn't horse stolen for ten miles
In any direction for some days.
A Mr.. e. Jefferson OF Ohio visited Gin
cinnati and came to his senses in Galveston.
He knows no more than that he left CincIn-
natl with 500 aud finds himself in Calves

clothes on. Galveston isn't exactly a lu-
matte asylum, but it's good place to land
| without money. 1t is such a nice place to
