EYERY farmer knows that exnol

EVERY farmer knows that exposing
potatoes too long to the rays of the
sun, or exposing them to plenty of
light and air, will soon ruin them.
A good farmer will dig and dry his
potatoes at the proper time, as quick
as convenient, and take them to
his dark cellar without delay, being
careful not to have too many In one
bin. Potatoes which are fine and
mealy when dug, treated in this man
ner will remsin good until early pota-
toes are ripe.

We don't see their names mentioned in

YESTERDAY over half dozen small
boys were arrested and carried to the
police station. They were arrested on
y charge of invading certain water

dressed, bright, intelligent little fellows

IrAbout 70 Travel or Emigrate.

The voysger cannot be provided with q
safer remedy and protective medicine
than Hostetter's Bitters. Abundant
testimony exist to prove that 1t nullifies
hurtful climatic influences and the eff
fects of exposure, that it reconciles the
stomach to unaccustomed food and
prevents injurious results from impure
water. Mariners, tourists, emigrants
and miners have all contributed their
quota of testimony in its behalf, and
its protective influence has been most
effectuslly demonstrated in regions and
under conditions where, If not really
effective, that fact would long since
have been exposed. In no class of dis.
orders hsYe its remedial and preventive
properties been more conspicuously
shown than in cases OF malarial fevers,
maladies for which it is the most popu-
lar specific In existence, both here and
in the tropics, where its reputation Is
scarcely second to that which it enjoys
on this continent. It Is, moreover, a
most agreeable appetizer and nervine.

N. B. Forman, sheriff of Brszos
county, left Bryan two weeks ago. pre-
tending that. he was going to Kansas
to bring back some fugitiVes from JUS
tice, but the Pilot learns that he went
off with the intention not to return.
and that he has sent back his resigna-
ton to be handed to the county COM
missioners' court at its first meeting.
His completely in the Davis .McG rav fuss
is said to be the cause of his leaving the
country and his office. Forman car.
pet-bsgged himself into Brszos county
in the early days of military recon-
struction, and got himself elected by
the negro vote to the Office of sheriff
when large part of the white people
were disfranchised. BY aid OF the SOL
id negro vote, and few whites. he
has kept the office ever SINCE, and has
accumulated, the Plot says, $40, 600 or
$50, 900 worth OF property.
