The Compton Land Case,

Following the rule that now
seems to be an established one with
the Supreme Court, dissenting
opinions have been rendered in the
case Of Aguirre VS.. Alexander, on
appeal from our county, and in
voivipg the land on which the
town Of Compton is built. The
majority opinion is in favor of O
reversal, and of course the case will
therefore come back for new
trial.
Judges Ross and Myrick sign the
dissenting opinion, in favor of the
judgment of Judge Sepulveds.
These decisions discuss at length
the main point in the case-the
construction of deed under which
the Compton people deraign their
title. Although 1t was stipulated
on the trial that the Compton peo-
pie have been in quiet, exclusive
possession, each of his own piece of
land, for ten or twelve years, and
have fenced and improved their
to have been an adverse possession +,
as against the plaintiff, for it was
that of tenants In common until
notice was given that the holding
was adverse to that of the other
co.tenauts. AS no flaw was known
to exist in their title, no such no.
tice was given until some short
time before the commencement OF
the suit above referred to.
The vital question in the case
seems to be the construction of o
deed, which gives general de-
scription of a piece OF land
and then gives descrip-
ton by metes and bounds. The
last description describes much
smaller piece of land than the gen.
eral description, AMI the question
Is which shall govern. If the
larger piece is accepted as the
proper construction of the deed,
the Compton people hold their
land by good paper titlei If the
narrower construction is accepted,
the deed upon which they rely did
not convey the land upon which
they settled.
The majority decision of the Su-
preme Court says that there being
q general and particular descrip-
tion the latter must govern.
The minority say that although
in general, description by metes
and bounds must control when
there are two conflicting descrip.
tions--One general and one prrtic
ular-still that is not the case
when the particular description
is intended merely as o reiteration
of the general one, and they hole
that in the instance in question Il
was u reiteratiou, and, therefore
the larger or general one must con
troll. Unfortunately, for the Comp
tonites, however, this lattel
opinion Is that of minority
only of the Supreme Court.

A Good Feature i'm the Texas Lii
OuOr Law.
North Texan, Paris.

North Texan, Paris.
The North Texan desires to call
the attention of wives who are ours
ed with drunken husbands, to the
new liquor law. in which it is pro-
vided that no matter how willing a
saloon keeper may be to take the
money you are needing, and at the
same time make brute of your hus-
band-poison him until he will
come home and abuse you, all you
have to do is to serve written no.
tice on that willing saloon keeper,
forbidding him selling or giving
your husband whiskey, and if he is
guilty Of doing SO after said notice
is served, he forfeits bond of ST.
900 and is, in addition, fined $500.
The daughter has the same right as
the wife, and we call her attention,
also, to the matter. Then, the
mother and father, if they can prove
that the aforesaid saloon keeper has
sold or given whiskey to their min
minor son, or allowed him to tarry in
his den, or rather his morgue of
dead hopes and bllghted reputa-
tons, they can inflict through the
law, the same penalty. And soci
ETY., if it will take occasion to prove
that the above named saloon keeper
has sold Intoxicating liquors to an
habitual drunkard, can have the
same fine and penalty visited upon
the aforesaid saloon keeper. Now,
if wives, daughters, mothers, and
society will not consent to be cheat
ed and bull-dozed out of their bene
fits of this law, we will see that
good has been accomplished by the
last legislature. Will not the above
mentioned classes stand on their
rights, and no longer allow the
curse of whiskey to blight their
lives, so far as it can be prevented?
Don't let false modesty prevent
wives from taking advantage of
natures first law-self- preservation.
Tell the men who are pouring poi
son down the throats of your hus-
bands. bringing desolation to your
homes, starving you and your chill
dren, that they can no longer con-
tinue their devilish work, and don't
be intimidated by threats or wheed-
led by soft words. Put your foot
squarely down, read the riot act and
stick to it.

How Horses are SPOILED.

How quick horse becomes dl-
lapidated and demoralized after it
comes into the possession of some
people. 1t makes no difference how
young or how nice they are when
they get them, they all look alike in
less than two year, and always
have that discouraged, DESTROYED
appearance. [ have seen men who
claim to have good Judgment
whom we look to as wise, prudent
and shrewd in buslness--that did
not seem to have any idea of what
treatment a horse requires. If |
had boy ten years old that was no
more capable and reasonable about
such things than many people, l
should think he was helpless idiot.
Many seem to think horse can en-
dure everything, go without feed all
day and half the night, and be off
on a journey on bad travelling, time
after time. When they get home
they put them in an old pit-den,
throw in fork of hay, the first they
come to, and ''let them rip" They
never rub or clean them, and never
take any pains to protect them from
cold or dampness. They overlook
difficulties when in no condition to
labor. How many young stylish
horses have we seen all drawn out of
shape all sagged down, their back
six inches too low in front of the
hips and foot and a half too long.
A horse needs feed regularly and
often, as often as five hours at least,
at regular hours in the day. They
cannot bear fasting as well as rumi-
mating animals; but they should
never be crammed.full of hay, espe-
cially after long drive when they
have been without all day, nor just
before hard days work or long
journey. | have seen good many
horses spoiled by examining and
fasting 1t will soon spoil their di-
gestive organs, and if long contin-
ued it will weaken them and destl oy
their vitality SO that they will never
take on flesh at all, even under
good treatment. And SO they al
ways remain a crooked, shapeless
mass of unsightly, useless "horse
flesh" But strange as it may ap
pear, people never know the differ
ence as long as the animal has a
paunch. hair and hoofs. 1t is not
all work that brought them to this
| There are thousands of horses tina,
| look a well as they ever did. 1t is
the general management. 1t is not
the team horse nor the livery horse
so much as the. farm horse that
shows bad treatment. Some pre-
tend that the horse has bad con
stitution, or is sick. Others call it a
lack of vitality. | should call it a
lack of common sense in the era
mum of his owner.
