TO the Democracy anu the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee OF
Travis County.


We are upon the Threshold OF sn
important national, stste sud county
canvass; and that We may be armed
for the contest, We s1ouid awaken TO
a full sense of responsibility and en-
ter upon an organization of the party
with right good will and an Gvowed
purpose of success. Tue people are
truly and rightly the soyerigns, and
they should, from time 70 time, meet
to discuss and counsel upon ali a1es-
tions affectIng.their political and gem
ersl welfare. 10 view, therefore, OF
the propriety and Importance OF ef-
fecting an organization OF the party,
and that the VIII of the party msy De
fully expressed in its primaries, so that
delegate conventions may understand
and act upon the desire ana consent
of the individuals composing the
party and not solely upon the will of
delegates in such conVentions-it is
urged that Democrats IN every pre-
cinct IN the county meet together snd
consult as to the best interests of the
country and party. No sutagonisms
should be permitted among Demo-
Gratis because of differences of opinion
as to the men that should be placed
forward for high or low places. So
far as the welfare OF the party is con-
cerned this is not material question,
but merely an incidental one. No
few men are the guardians of the
party or the custodisns of its prlnci-
Piles. All Democrats should aad will
uphold such men as are put forward
by proper acting and properly con-
stituted conventions. The committees
men of the several precincts should
direct the organization In their
several precincts, and, where vacancies
exist in the executive committee OF
any precinct, such vacancies should be
filled in the best practicable manner
and at the earliest practicable time.
Meetings should be called without de-
lay The executive committee of the
county, including as it does each pre-
cinct committeeman in the county, is
hereby called to meet at my office, over
Raymond's bank, on. Saturday, June
8, at 12 o'clock NJ. Each and every
committeeman in the county IS asked
and urged to be present at this meet
ing. 1t Is hoped that good results
will flow from it. 1t is proposed that
the committee consult and adopt gen.
eral plans for the approaching can
vass, which promises to be sn inter
esting one. Let US enter upon the work
with renewed zeal.
Your servant,

A Kind of >Lethargy

OF the kidneys and bladder is some
times exhibited which it is very desirs-
BILE to overcome in its incipIency, as
this symptom is but the iorernnner of
disease. When these important and
sensitive organs grow dormant they
may be safely stimulated with Hostel
ter's Stomach Btters, which, in con-
nection with its 1onIc and alternative,
possesses useful diuretic properties.
AS it is through the kidneys that the
blood is strained, surrendering certain
liquid impurities injurious to health,
1t will be seen that by promoting the &C.
ton of the kidneys, the Bitters serves
the double purpose of keeping them
from falling into state of morbid de-
generation, and also of depurating the
blood. That fluid is slao enriched By
this supreme medicine, and the bowels,
stomach and liver invigorated ana reg
ulsted by 1t. As general invigorant
also 1t has the highesd reputation.

"a STITCH in time saves nine" is true
of old coats, and mouths. When the
former shows the first defect take d
"stitch." and always keep the mouth
right by using sOZODONT. It costs
less for new cost than set of teeth.
False teeth are not as pleasant as nat
ural ones.

If the man who don't believe there
is divine Providence watching over
things, will stay at home day and
carefully watch his two or three-yesr-
old coy, he'll be convinced there is no
mere rule of chance to successfully
figure out the narrow escapes from Sc
rious accidents aud death that two
to three-yesr-old boy meets with. He
drops from the top of fence or tree,
falls into tubs of water, rolls down
staIrs, is worned by dogs, tossed by
angry cattle, run over in the streets,
falls sinto rivers and ponds, investi-
gates loaded guns and pistols, swal-
lows poisons, gulps down two-bit
pieces, pins and marbles, cats every
thing he can get his hands on at any
hour Of the day, falls sprawlipg to the
ground with knives, forks and other
sharp instruments IN his hands, sud
does msny other things, and yet nine

Thousand cases, gets eff without ever q

DURING the past week the class in
elocution in Hood Seminary has un-
dergone most thorough and exhaus
tive examination. While every one is
ready to admit that to read or recite
artistically is desirable, few pause to
consider the amount of real labor nee
esrSry 10 attain the art in perfection.
In this institution uniinng attention is
given to this branch, theoretically aud
practically, with the aim OF develop
ing the power of the voice, and attain
lug terse and perfect control over its
moiulations. The degree of aesthetic
culture attained by the pupils has been
exemplified by the public dramatical
readings given on several occasions
during the term. While all OF those
present for examination attained sat-
isfactory and creditable per cent, the
following names are worthy OF special
mention: Misses Jeannie Malin, Fanny
Randolph. Lillian Howard, Bette Tai
iaterro, Jalis Iglebart, Bette Sharpe
and Master Joseph MAlin.

PERSONS of sedent4ry habits often
suffer with kidney sffections. Irritat-
ing medicines and overwork are fruit
full causes of diseases of the kidneys.
Sufferers from this weakening and dan
gerous disease would maintain the
strength of the digestive organs and
improve the quality of the blood by
persistent. use of Simmons Liver Reg
ulstor, taken three times day. This
will restore the kidneys to their won't
ed health and vigOr.
~ have been troubled with liver
complaint, kidney disease and bad
blood for a long time. l have used
about ten bottles of Simmons Liver
Regulator, and it has done me more
good than all the medicines ever took.
l would not be without it. II you de-
sire, you can publish this.
