The copper mines OF Texas are at
tracing the attention OF capitalists in
PniladelphIs, Baltimore and other Z asst
ern cities, and there is already some
demand for the ore. Several shipments.
of copper from Clay and Archer coun-

ore bringing from $50 to $3.50 ton
according to its quality.
The Denison Meas SAYS too many
young men are epdesyoriug TO live by
their wits instead Of by honest labor
This Ia the reason there is TO much
gambling and crime. Too many youpg

chants and professional men when they
might make passsSle mechanics or ex-
cellent farmers.

''unbcknowb" into pockets and then
they crawl out most unfortunately for
the fame Of p peace Cf6ccr and for the
good name of Texas. The det ills OF
the ugly affair are given in another
place.

If il is nothing mare than a card stat

in which be is engaged. Il helps gu :

that in Johnson county lady was Wis

spent the day with her. She told them
of lately having come in possession of
