PERSONS AT THE LINE OF
ATTENTION, READ THIS.

I desire to call the attention of the citi-
zens of Berkeley and surrounding coun-
ties to the fact, that | have on hand
large and elegant supply of family car
riages, buggies, rockaways, jenny linds,
and other styles of vehicles, also wagons
of all kinds and descriptions, which am
selling lower than other dealers in my
line, either for cash, on time, or in eN-
change for horses, country produce, or
secondhand carriages. | ask attention
to these terms as they are more liberal
than carriage makers usually offer. Times
are hard and money scarce, but want
my friends and customers to know, that,
nevertheless, they can supply themselves
with carriages.
Persons i'm want Of old carriage wheels
to fix up their market wagons, or to make
temporary wagons, will find ut my facto-
ry any kind they may desire, some of them
very good and will last long time for
such purposes.
Repairing promptly done as usual. Give
me call, if you want anything in my
line; it will not be my fault if we don't
deal.

IF Congressman Schleicher
of Texas tells his constituents
the truth, we need not be sur
prised to find ourselves embroil-
ed in war with Mexico. He
says the administration has de-
termed to force on our sister re-
public the issue ofwar or peace;
that Gen. Ord has been instruc-
ted to invade and occupy the
Mexican border until the
Diaz government can guaranty
us from the forages ofthe Mex
lean cattle thieves. lfGen. Ord
has really received-su instruc-
tons conflict is inevitable.
The Mexicans will never sub
NIT to have a garrison of Uni
tied States troops quartered on
their soil; they would surely at
tack them and attempt to drive
them ofi-and this itself would
be wlr. Mr.. Schleicher is, no
doubt. correct in saving that a
war with Mexico would be pop
ular in Texas. There is reason
for believing it would not be
unpopular in other states. Still
it would be hardly fair for the
administration to involve US in
such a contest without the au-#
thority of congress.-St.Lonfs

it is that there is no organized

the resuscitation of the Repub-

TRAMP outrages are unknown
in Delaware. The whipping
post is one of the established
institutions of that State. The
whipping post should be tried
in Texas; in cur opinion it would
put a stop to much pilfering and
relieve the county jails of many
surperhous prisoners. The
idea that whipping is degrading
to the recipient is all mistake;
when a man becomes so degra-
ded as to require the whipping
post, the chances are it will
have an elevating tendency
and make him behave himself in
the future.
