The Hoe Wharf.-The en-
forcement of the hog ordinance
has caused much dissatisfaction
In spite of poor fences and low
water the hogs insist upon get
ting out and airing themselves
upon the public streets. Some
persons claimed special privi-
leges for their own hogs and
complained if they, 1.-THE hogs
not themselves were arrested
As a matter of course, those
whose hogs were impounded
complained, and in the general
complaint the hog marshal has
resigned his commission, and
until the city marshal can APP
point another hog marshal who
will perform the onerous duties
required and furnish a hog
pound, the hogs will be at liber-
ty to roam at large. We would
not be at.all surprised to,ssee a
mass meeting of the hogs
around the square in a day OF
two. Probably the best and
easiest solution of the hog ques-
ton will be for the city council
to repeal the hog law. Popu-
lar opinion seems to be in favor
of unrestrained liberty for the
swine.

New YEARS DAY.-The New
Year was ushered in by cloudy
weather, but by about o'clock
the sun shone out brilliantly. A
majority of the business houses
were opened in the morning, but
in the afternoon a good many
closed up. The banking houses,
the postofice and the county
Offices were closed. New Years
calls were generally neglected.
Taken altogether the day was
very quiet and not different
from any ordinary business day.
Very little liquor was indulged'
particularly by the colored peo-
pie who have superstition that
if they get drunk on the first OF
the year they will keep it up
for the remaining 364 days, and
some of them would, but their
money gives out.

Misses Hammond of Hemp
stead spent their Christmas

enjoyed their company that

Quite number of other young

the killing of Tom Power
Lynching Hawkins was intima-

MAYORS CoURT.-The en-

at 9 o'clock on Saturday morn

had been captured on Friday
and kept cooped up in the bas-

fine of 81 with the trimmings

WASHINGTON county is, We
think, the champion county of
Texas for marrying. The week
before Christmas the county
clerk issued two dozen marriage
license and during the past
week he issued a dozen and a
quarter. Thirty-nine weddings
in two weeks is doing pretty
well. Washington county is
not getting a great many emf
grants from abroad; hence the
disposition of her citizens to
obey the scriptural injuncti on:
"Be we fruitful and multiply. :"

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo
pie are to-day dying from the effects Of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of intelli-
gent and valuable people is most alarming,
making life actually a-burden instead of a
pleasant existence of enjoyment and useful
ness as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take tie advice Of
Druggists and your friends, and Try one
bottle of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy reliefis certain. Millions Of bottles
of this medicine have been given away to
Try its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy sample bottle
for 10 cents to Try. Three doses viii relieve
the worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent

In AGA1N.-On Tuesday night
the police arrested Willis Nc
Intyre, a young negro thief and
general bad character on a
charge of fighting. Last fall the
same precious scamp was in jail
charged with burglarizing Bron-

prior to the election he was
bailed out. His bondsmen have
surrendered him up to the
sheriff and he is now in his old
quarters in the jug. He will get
a through ticket to Huntsville
from the district court.
