The SpOlO. 1t Is quite a rarity for
it TO rain in these parts uow, but when
we come to snow we can show the
best record the country has enjoyed
for years, The snow has lain on the
ground now tor over six weeks, and
we have had snow every three or four
days during that time. Last Friday
Il fearful storm OF wind and snow ragged
The whole day. Saturday and sun
day it melted considerably, and Mon
day we had repetition Of Friday
storm with n greater quantity Of snow.
At three O'Clock yesterday ii was SIX
teen inches on dead level. In num-
Ders Of places it had drifted from two
10 four feet. The streets are blocked,
and but very few persons can be seen
out. We think it safe to say that
twenty inches Of snow has fallen
IN this vicinity within the last
eight days. We have never seen Il
more beautiful snow. 1t is very light,
crisp and dry and bids fair t. lie on he
ground for some time. If things con-
tinue this way we will have a great
amount OF suffering among our poor.
Very few Of our people were prepared
for such n severe winter. Now ia the
time for the good people OF our town
to show their hands-especially those
who are able.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bailled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
,ul effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed
They reach the vital fountains of the blood
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any delcteriouS drug these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

The events now taking place on the
borders Of the Rio Grands in Texas are
a striking commentary on that species Of
Democratic economy" which for the
sake Of saving a few dollars to sIpsnd
IN investigating committees and cham.
payne suppers for Congressman. has
reduced our army TO such an extent that
it cannot protect our frontiers, and is
working hard to reduce it still further.
II Is an instructive spectacle. truly,
this OF a great nation dsisd and humil-
lated by q few Mexican bandits. backed
by = little Insignificant republic like
MEXICO! A nation OF i0.000.0 900 Of
people. with thousands Of miles Of from.
tier to protect, supporting an army Of
less than $4,000 men. when there are
hundreds Of thousands OF men idle In
our midst. who would be only too glad
to serve their country for the sake Of
having something to do!
We believe II used to DO sound Demo
cratic doctrine that . government is
morally bound to give its people work.
That was the howl during the last ran.
vass when votes were wanted. and thou
sands Of laborers were caught BY the
cry. Here is an opportunity for Demo
Gratis to make good their promise. and
at the same time save Texas from being
overrun by the Me,icans. Give us an
army. gentlemen. commensurate to the
needs Of the nation.
