A Cameron, Omcer

Captain Sam Farmer, the efficient live
wide-awake city marshal of Fort Worth,
who has made an enviable reputation as an
officer, was in this city yesterday, on mis-
sion of charity which was but in keeping
with the man. He brought over to this
city from Fort Worth poor unfortunate
consumptive invalid in the person Of VIII.
liam Loewn. who is in the last stages Of
consumption, and for whom the good
people of Fort Worth at the instance OF
Marshall Farmer had donated 800 to de-
fray his expenses back to Hamburg,
Germany, he himself contributing
as was learned from the invalid, literally
toward defraying his passage. On arriving
here it was found that the money was not
sufficient to purchase his passage and again
Sam Farmer went down in his pocket and
the invalid, who by his sober and INDUSTRY
Gus habits and perseverance at work in Ill
health had won the respect Of the officer,
went ON his way on the east-bound train
over the Texas & Pacific rejoicing.

Employees upon lines centering at Dallas,

business with Chief Head Clerk Wilson, will
complete the same with him, but in all

Mr.. Lindsay is a young gentleman well
and very favorably known by all aequai nted
in postal circles in this city, he having been
for long time assigned to duty upon the
postal cars between ST. Louis and Little
Rock, Arkansas, and on account of his
peculiar fitness for higher position, he
was some months placed by Superinten-
dent Warfield in charge of all routes center
ing at Houston, and the southern portion
of Texas, in which position he made such
marked success that the superintendent
considered it expediet to give him still
larger territory. Texans is to be consratu-
lated in having her postal service in charge
of such an efficient officer"

ADyHR rIsING.

No shrewd business man now denies the
benefits to be derived from advertising In
the large cities we find the leading and
most extensive houses the largest adyer-
tisers. In the small towns it is not always
long established and have run of regular
old time customers, and the houses
are content. On the other side We find men
who are active and believe in pushing their
business forward and invite trade through
the columns of the town papers. These
men succeed and eventually Absorb. the
business. We contend that every business
man in small town should advertise their
business in their town paper. It IS a duty
they owe the papers to do so. Not simply
as an act of charity, but return for every
word the paper speaks in behalf of the town
and community-[Wills Pointer.

bill has been drafted for the apportionment
of the state into ten districts, and that the

representative under the new bill, and that

such a statement or if the bill provides for
such deal, it is unfair. for the reason the

GOVERNOR ROBERTS BOOK.

His book, however, deficient in thorough,
mes. and lacking in fullness Of data, is yet
interesting because it is an outgrowth and
exponent of this very anomaly of character
that has been so potent factor OF the gov
ernor's success. In reading the book, one
thinks rather of the writer than of what is
written, and follows it through with Curl
Gus interest to observe the characteristics OF
mind which the work displays. 1t was
doubtless published for a three-fold reason
the good it might do for Texas: the good
it might Go for the author, and lastly to
crafty the vanity that constitutes notice
able though harmless weakness in the
character Of "the old Alcalde:" The au-
thor's picture is placed both at the beginning
and upon the last outside cover of the book,
and perhaps he would have been still bet
ter pleased to have found it in the middle rs
we'll. But if JEFF Davis can give his picture
twice in his book. why may not Governor
Roberts follow suit? In all the purposes.
for which the book was published it will
measurely succeed. Containing as it does
quite an amount Of information about the
state and its resources, it will be more ex-
tensiyely circulated and read than any book
of its kind. 1t will also do the governor
good with the grangsrs. Because it is Gov,
ernor Roberts book we can ssysit possessed
sufficient interest to justify its purchase
and peruSal.

Johns II opkins.
From the Augusta Constitution.

From the Augusta Constitution.
He left 50, 0O0, OOO, amoiety which was
divided among eighteen relatives, anu
the bulk retained for a university and
several hospitals. The nephew who
was often at variance with him received
almost twice as much as his brothers,
who never contradlcted him. Mr..
Hopkins never married. The daughters
OF Epaminondas were that hero's lam
Gus victories. The children oil johns
Hopkins are the splendid institutions
he has left to learning, to mercy, and TO
science. There never was a stronger
man. He started life with $500, and
built up by his W exertions a colossal
fortune. From the beginning he de-.
clsred that he had q mission from Goo
to increase his store, and that the golden
, flood that poured into his Golfers did
not belong to him or to the hundreds
who sought to borrow or beg 1t from
him. He declared that a supernatural
power prevented him from taking
money from his pocket to bestow foolish
aims, and that some day the world
would known that he was not the grasp
ing, ayaricious and narrow-minded man
mar he was accounted. He neveEthe-
less helped secretly many worthy per-
sons, and, after his death, 1t was dlscoV-
cred that not u lew merchants had been
saved hv him from financial embarrass.
ment and sorrow. But in the common
acceptation OF the term he was not lib
ersl. His mission, prevented that.
Toward the close OF a very long lie he
became stingy and suspicious, but the
end he had proposed never suffered
change, and that was the mistress OF his
hsouL, toward whom he maintained an in
flexible fidelity. Clifton" was his pride,
and upon it he spared no expense. Here
the great university was to be founded,
but in this his design will be batfied.
The CITY authorities have taken some
seventy acres Just in front OF the impe-
! rial mansion, and the noble chestnut
/ grove he had nurtured, not one tree oil
which would he cut down, even when
yithered, has fallen before the remorse'
less ak Of progress. The foundations OF
a vast lake for the water supply OF Bal
timore are already in course OF exclva'
ton, and the engineers and their rude
implements occupy several OF the beau
tiful chambers OF Clifton.
An uncanny old tramp used to sta
ton himself under a giant oak that stood
sentry by the lodge Of "Clifton." This
made Mr.. Hopkins nervous, and became
a mortal ofense. He told one OF his
nephews OF it, and ssid he did not know
how to abate the nuisance. why net
pap him, uncle, and send him away

his long arms flew about like windmills
