mccormick. Reapers and H.rve.tsr..

I
With the magnificent crop prospects in
Texas our farmers are waking up to the me-
cessity Of promptly securing a reaper to Sc
cure the results Of their hard labor, and
| first in the list of machines that can he de-
pended upon in any emergency comes the
! Mccormick Advance with self rake, the
/ Mccormick Harvester the Mccormick
/ Dropper and the Mccormick Mower. These
machines are makufactured by the house
that has the must experience, chat has
always made the greatest eff Jrt to please
their customers, that sells on the best terms
and gives the strongest warranty.
IL IS safe 70 say that any man who pur-
chases a Mccormick Reaper cannot b. i'm
posed upon- The house of C. H. & L. J..
Mccormick is old, and has been thoroughly
tried, and their dealings are in every respect
fair and square, aud their enterprise IN the
way of keeping ahead in improvements is
well known. McCJrmick's machines, if
properly run, always give satisfaction; they
are msde to last lifetime, and are as light
as they can he made, aud be durable and
| strong.
The Mccormick never impose upon their
customers by inveiglIng them into buying
machines with wire springs or clap traps
hnodwink an honest, unsuspecting farmer
who, when he gets into his heavy grain,
| finds that the reaper that he could almost
| fold up and carry under his arm is of no
use except to carry out under his arm, and
his crop can go to waste unless he can get
a strong aud reliable machine to save it.
Then McCoomicks' plan of giving farm
ers trial through the whole season is
CHARACTERISTIC of their fair, honest dealing.
One day reaper trials are always ar
ranged to beat somebody, and the farmer
has in the end TO foot the bill If he takes
a machine TO work through the whole sea
son, there can be no frau practiced upon
him, for he acts on his own judgment after
trying his machines in all kinds of grain
and grass and grounds at his leisure.
| The McCormicks' liDerality in prices and
| giving long time at a low rate of interest
shows the faith they have in our farmers
and the brilliant outcome of Texas.
OF course our farmers who are far see
! ing and clear beaded, who appreciate har-
vestiug s,nachine that will 60 through
their harve>ts and give them no trouble
that will save all their grain, whet her short

always pleases its patrons and whose war
ranty is good, will not fail to examine the

statecraft. His last public acts and words
were as prophetic as those of Isaiah, and
tieFe was no deed or utterance that was
not significant of his sturdy, unselfsh
patriotism It is needless to say that these
eloquent eulogies of Houston's deeds and
character were applauded again and again.
Judge Il lis sketch o Texas history,
rapidly drawn, was admirable, and of all
the vast multitude that listened, not one
seemed TO move while stirring events from
1882 to the close OF 1899 were rapidly and
succinctly &ouped together and presented
as bright, glowing pictures before the de-
lighted audience. When Judge Bell de-
scribed battle or the storming of San
Antonio, in Which grayheaded individ uals
before him participated, the facile speaker
told, and there was keen anxiety in the
great throDg topper into the face of Milam's
associate and successor in command, who
captured San Antonio.
tBut we can give no adequate idea
of tine speech, still less of its effect
upon the old soldiers who listened
with .srapt attention while they
fought all their battles DER again" The
speech, the occasion, the presence of the
living great men of Texas, and of the youth
and beauty of the capital, and of the legis-

At the close of Judge Bells mastery ora
ton the procession again formed and took
up the line of march down the Avenue, the
three bands, occupying distant positions
bin the procession, playing inspiring
airs, to the great delight of the throng
that hned the sidewalks. Immediately af-
ter the breaking of ranks Washington steam
enginecompany No. / and Colorado steam
engine company No. 2 repaired to their
respective halls where there was 'feast of
reason and flow of SOUL" and seldom
have we seen such tables spread, or a
greater mInglins of sentiment with humor
and pleasure. On the tables was everything
that heart could wish, and us it was late
dinner hour the firemen and their invited
guests were in happy mood for doing
justice to it. Speeches were made and
toasts given by various parties, and rounds
of applause and general good cheer charac
terized the occasions. Colorado No. 2
and Hook and Ladder No. 1 en-
joyed their feast together at the Colora-
dos hall. Both dinners were gotten
uPby Mr.. Mooney, of the Commercial res
taurant. We omitted to mention above
that previous to retiring to the halls, com
missions were issued to the new officers of
the fire department, Alderman Chandler,

proprate remarks. All in all the celebra-
