The Germans and the Fair.

1t will be seen by tine following reso-
buttons that our German fellow-citizens
are preparing by an organized movement,
superintendent by themselves, to add to
the attractions of our fair, their agricul-
tural and other productions. They will
be met more than half way with liberal
and courteous treatment at the hands OF
the association, and every facility afford
ed them.
1t is not only the order of the day, but
the lesson of the hour, that each in di-
vidual of our own and adjoining counties,
should emulate them in efforts to enforce
the exhibit. This fair belongs to all Of
us, and its success is common factor in
our pride, our usefulness, our prosperity
and our natural interests.
The German Agricultural Society Of
Travis county met at their hall over
Doehler's store, ON the LIST of October,
and the following resolutions were pass
ed:
Resolved, That the committee OF ar
rangements shall see everymember ofthe
society personally, and find out what each
will be willing TO enter for the fair, and
take the name of every person.
2. Three members of the committee of
arrangements shall be present at the fair
grounds each day, to supervise all articles,
products, animals, etc., entered.

A DOWN TOwN MERCgAST.

Having passed several sieeplcss nights.
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured u supply
for the child. On reaching homeland ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed IN suffering. and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered u
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awOke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud-
den and wonderful change. and although
at first offended ut the deception practiced
upon her. has continued to use the Syrup.
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the preiudices of
the mother. Sold by all druggists. %

FIGHTING ANTS AND BUGS.

Especial to the Statesman.l
WHITEsBoRo, October AT this
hour everybody is fighting ants and
bugs. A shower of white winged
ants and brown bugs have made a
descent upon us to-day. The air is
full of them; the earth is covered
until it has the appearance of a
white moving sheet of snow. The
bugs are a species resembling that
which Mr.. Tice describes as ringed-
winged grasshoppers. They are
about one-eighth of an inch long,
of a dark-brownish hue.
We have had abundance of rain.

About six months ago Q man by the
name of Bell came to this city, poor, des-
titute, and almost without clothing. He
could speak German fluently, was cigar
maker by trade, ana appeared to be man
possessed of many amiable qualities.
Such WAS his department and bearing
among all classes of men that he soon
became universal fayoriJe. Being u
German, he of course ELECTED the sym
pathies of a people proverbial for their
generosity and hospitality. The first to
lend a helping hand was the proprietor of
the Chicago House, on Pecan street. He
gave him his board, and otherwise helped
him, until he could obtain employment.
He at once gained the confidence and
esteem of the proprietor, and was adj
mitted behind the bar, to serve In an
emergency, and in fact, above all othe $
had the run of the house. Nearly SIX
months passed away, and his shin
ing qualities suffered no eclipse.
A few nights ago, Mr.. Bell was late for
supper, very unusual thing for him, as
his appetite was equal to his moral quail
ties. The proprietor paid little attention
to this, but next morning, finding his bed
undisturbed and $50 missing out of the
private money-drawer and no watch in
his vest pocket, he (the proprietary be-
came decidedly uncomfortable, and for
the first time in his life a suspicion
dawned upon his mind that Mr.. Bell was
not exactly the very embodiment of hon.
esty. Another day passed and the trusted
Bell made no appearance. In sorrow and
despair, the proprietor, whose kindness
had been SO abused, was heard to ex-
claim: "There are mono righteous; no'
not one" Yes, Bell was q bold and
heartless robber, and probably we may
hear no more of him. But after
all, it will not do TO take
such an occurrence as an indication
that the evil of ngratltude is universal.
This unpleasant incident only serves to
show how disgustingly deprayed it is pos
sible for human being to become. New
ertheless confer favors all the same, and
IN the glad final reckoning your charity
may hide host of sins.
Detectives were notified OF the doings
Of the immaculate Bell, and are trying to
trace him up.
