HOUSTON l. COTTON.

Those who have shipped
me the past season will tes-
tify that | have saved them
money and given general
satisfaction, both in CLASH
tication and prices. BY
referring to the official quo
tations of the different mar
kets during three of the
best cotton months of last
winter it will be seen that
Houston quotations were
equal to, and frequently
higher, than New Orleans
OF Galveston. Greater IA
cilities this season for stor-
ing and shipping Cotton,
will enable me to serve my
customers with better re-
suits.

a WASHINGTON special says
the republican campaign CON-
mittee have bled the department
clerks until they are poor. Some
of them are actually suffering
for the money they have been
forced to contribute to the re-
publican campaign fund. Many
have been obliged to run in
debt for the necessaries of life
and now they think they see
their doom within the political
skies. The republicans haye
lost heart and their action and
solicitudc show plainly enough
that they have given up the fight.
A democratic victory in Novem-
der is conceded.

Newspapers and Readers.

The Caldwell Register has
learned by experience that it is
impossible to publish paper TO
please everybody. EXperNn-
ced newspaper readers, when
they find something in the pa
per that does not please them
pass it over, they don't read it
and don't count it as part OF
the paper. When man knows
that he has been up in the may
or's court or in some of the
county courts on a charge OF
doing something wrong or COM
hitting some rascality, he
should studiously avoid reading
anything about himself, though
if some other fellow has gotten
into a scrapc and is handsomely
noticed in the local paper it is
well enough to read it and
laugh at the unfortunates mis-
fortunes. Candidates should
read all the jokes on the other
fellows and use them to the best
advantage in forwarding their
own interests, but if a joke
shoulder even the truth-lcak
out it should be passed over.
The fact is man who can not
enjoy a joke on himself should
never, or hardly ever, laugh at
the misfortunes of his .neigh
bors. The newspaper that is
properly managed can not
please everybody, neither does
it expect to. The people them
selves make the news; the news
paper chronicles events as they
occur. Newspapers do not
make men get drunk and get in
the calaboose, neither do they
make men steal, or commit muir
der. Those things are unlawful,
and men who violate the laws
are amenable to them. Those
people who do not violate the
law want to know who those are
that do. Nowadays if a man
wants to know anything he
looks TO the newspapers TO tell
him, they demand of the news
paper that all current events
shall be faithfully recorded.
The doings of the men and wo-
men throughout the country go
to make up.the bulge ofnews
contained in the newspapers of
the day. As a man docs good
or bad, SO he appears before the
public.

Ex-Gov. PALMER asserts that
Gen. Garfield abandoned the
army at Lookout Mountain, and
marched to the rear almost
to the sound of the enemy's guns
Gen. Garfield accounts for this
unsoldNrly conduct by saying
that he had been elected to
congress, and had to attend a
meeting of that body; but the
plea is pretty thoroughly dis
posed of by governor Palmer,
who states that congress was
not to meet for two months
when Garfield left the army.
Gov. Palmer has made this
charge repeatedly in his public
speeches in Illinois and Gar
fields friends have never denied
it.

Editors Banner:
With your permission l will
try to give you a few items from
this section of Austin county
The now all absorbing topic
is the cotton crop, and how to
get it picked out and sold to an
advantage. The worms did
considerable damage yet a very
fair average crop has been made
Cotton pickers are scare and
are demanding high prices for
picking We frequently hear
an inquiry, does it pay to raise
cotton at present prices and
have to pay such high prices
for picking? There is very lit
tie net profit to the farmer. l
believe the various gins in the
neighborhoodare generally busy
and are charging very reasona-
Bile prices; say6o cents per hun
bred.
We have lad considerable
sickness in our neighborhood
for some time, but | believe no
deaths.
Glad to note the success my
friend Shepard is meeting with
in his race for congress, and
have no fears of his election.
Austin county will give him a
good majority in November.
He has work before him as his
opponent is an old and expert
enced man at the business, but
as he is in error the people will
not support him though per-
sonally avery clever gentleman.
Weoccasionally notice a COM
munication from this place in
your neighbours paper from its
correspondent M" We do
not know IN" by that name
but have been no little amused
at the antics he is trying to cut
and to cause people 10 notice
him. We have noticed at least
two of his communications that
arc very contemplate in that
he tries, under disguise, to stab
one Of our citizens in the dark.
Said communications were call
ed forth by d letter addressed
from this place to the BANNER
under the signature Of Aunt
May" Now the correspondent
an" knows very well that the
gentleman whom he attacks, or
would strive TO injure and ira
ducc, is not the author of the
communication over that sig
nature, besides he IN" has at
tributed remarks to the gentle
man that is false in every par
ticular, the gentleman never ac-
cused IN" of saying he got his
living by sponging on his uncle,
and his cousin, and his aunt, no
sir he did no such as this, but he
pays his board agreeable to
contract, punctually. Its true
he removed his business from
this place to KcnneY where he
follows, his legitimate calling,
but he makes this place his home
it being the desire Of his uncles
his cousins, and his aunts. Let
IN" come out from his hiding
place and give his name and we
are sure the man he tries to in
jurc will reply to him, and his
reply, We guarantee will be
short and to the point. OF all
low down, ungcntlemanly acts
to SANDER and to injure man
under an assumed name is
the lowest. But, however, if
IN" will give his name and he
is entitled to be called gentle
man, he will get reply. In
the not very distant past we
have read from a correspondent
that bears a very striking re-
semblance to IN" UNCLE.

JUDGE BLACK, in an interview
with a republican reporter, stat
ed in substance that, Garfield
was, in his opinion, a clever
gentleman and a talented man,
and trustworthy SO long as he
was not tempted to be other
wise, but he had a great weak
ness before the temptation of
money, of party success and in
dividual advancement. Judge
Black is the foremost lawyer of
Of the United States and his
valuation Of Garfield is, that he
is an honest man-when not
tempted. Such a degree of
honesty is hardly commendable.
