Our readers will remember took

BILE mention of Browns patent Grill G
seeing new and improved sample OF this
invention, we are prepared not only to reit-
crate our endorsement of that date, but to
add thereto as far as words will express our
meaning. The owners of this state land a
number of other states have Just received
from st. Louis, and have on exhibition at
Billington's furniture store through their
agent, very handsome walnut crib, paneled
and oiled. This specimen shows the capsbil-
tiles Of the crib, being much more com.
plete sample than any yetmade. There have
been certain changes made which will be ap.
preelated by all concerned, besides the pan
cling and carving, one of which improve
ments is fan attachment, also different
mode OF propulsion as well as q change in
the motion OF the balls. The leading feature
the occillatlng action Of the carriage-ls of
course the same. Messrs. Elser n Alexander
having invested very heavily in this venture,
are now Offering others an opportunity to
make money by selling out at moderate
rate portion of their territory.
We learn the crib exctes universal admit
ration, and affords the greatest ss.isfac.
ton, and that there is already a large de.
mand for them in Dallas, az elsewhere.
There is no doubt that n splendid investment
Is open to some of our furniture men or to
any one else who happens to purchase the
right to this city and county. It would be
fine speculation for some live man to trade
for this and several adjoining counties be-
Sides One thing is certain, no new thing
for years has enjoyed the degree of sue.
cess in so short a time that has been ac.
corded to this invention, and it is only
question of q brief period when it will en-.
tirely supersede and crowd ou. the old
style side-rocking and side.swineing cribs.
Mr.. Brown has already moved to St. Louis
and established factory, snd will soon be
ready to supply in large or small orders,
either plain or fine cribs, to all owners of
state and county rights, for the benefit of
their patrons. Go see the new crib at Bill
lington's. where you can see Mr.. Massey, the
agent. 1t will be here only a dsy or two
longer. Some one will surely take the mat.
ter in hand of supplying this excellent ar
ticle to our citizens.

vile, thus describes his adventures
to a Cincinnati reporter:
l., The next morning, after a good
breakfast, | started of once more de-
termined to make Brownsville.
struck a farmhouse for my dinner.
chopped wood for a lady who gave me
my supper, and just as twilight was
falling walked in Brownsville, tired,
f%oot-sore, dusty and as miserable a be.
ing as could been found in forty coun-
ties. l wandered around the streets
for awhile yainly looking for some
place where | could rest my tired
limbs. At last / ran across an old
railroad siding, which looked as fit
hadn't been used for five years. Grass
had grown between the ties and an old
box car which stood on it seemed to
be fast rotting away. l looked into
the car and saw a lot of straw in one
corner" Here said | to myself, is a
stroke Of good luck. I'm Independent
now of landlords and hotels
In l got, and in my tired condition
that hard straw felt as good a, a
feather bed. l fell asleep in an in
slant, and a cannon fred at my ear
wouldn't have awakened me. The
sun was shining through the cracks in
the car next morning when / awoke.
l rubbed my eyes, walked to the door
OF the car and looked out. This didn't
look like the place | went to sleep in
last night. This isn't that old track.
and surely Brownsville hasn't any
such large buildings as these. | be-
gan to think | had been dreaming.
But this ives the same old car. l got
out and walked along down the track.
There was a sort of familiar air about
the place, but | couldn't place it.
There's a darby coming. III ask him
where | am. Good morning, sir; can
you tell me what town this is?'
See heah, now, don ye go for to
play any OBJ yer games on me-
