Every paper in the United
States ought occasionally to
keep the fact before its readers
that burnt corn is a sure cure
for hog cholera. The best way
is TO make pile of corn on the

The remedy was discovered by
E. E. Locke, Of Lewiston, ILL.,,
at his distillery, which was
burnt, together with large lot
of corn, which was so much in

Men are fond OF saying that their wives and
daughters waste time i'll shopping" TEey
cannot understand why a lady should ever
enter store, except to purchase some article
which she absolutely needs. and they regard
the time rs absolutely wasted which ladies'
spend in passing from store to store and coun-
ter to counter. looking over goods which they
do not intend to buy, and asking prices for
things for which they have no immediate
need.
1t Is to ladies' who understand this art OF
shopping that this advertisement is addressed.
We want to remind them that they should
never regard a shopping tour as complete
without a visit to our establishment, at this
season especially, when so many articles arc
needed for the approaching cold weather. 1t
Is we'll for ladies to remember that in many
departments our prices arc habitually lower
tor the same quality of goods than can be
found elsewhere In the city, whi.c in no case
do we allow ourselves to be undersOld; and
there will almost always be found in every
one of our departments some special lot OF
goods which VIC have secured at less than the
usual wholesale price, and can therefore afford
to sell extraordinarily cheap.

Angora Goats.

w. ID. Parrish, Of Leon Springs,
Bcxar county, has the largest stock
% Angora goats in Texas. lie engaged
in the bnsincss eight years ago, buying
bic firBt stock from the 1ocks of the
Angora Goat Company in Kentucky
and Tennessee. He has imported from
Asia Minor three head of tho finest
specimens ever brought To this com.
try and has bred them on to his origi.
nnl stock until now ho has herd Of
eleven hundred goats, fifty Of which
nrc puro bred, and the remainder arc
60 Thoroughbred.
Mr.. Parrish says Southwest Texas is
fully as good for breeding md raising
Ang25a goats az Asia Minor, and is
superior to South Africa, whero the
El,lish government has boon engaged
in breeding them for n number of years.
lie says they improve any brushy
range, making it better for cattle and
sheep, by killing tho shrubs browsed
too close to live that they arc much
harder and more prolific than sheep
or cattle, and tho meat is fully equal
to tho best nGsamb Tho frat cross of
the Angora on the Mexican goat pro-
duces an animal equal to my breed of
sheep for meat. Tho profit from the
wool of his flock is fully ono dollar per
head per nnnum. lie think that in n
few years tho breeding Of tho Angora
aqd its crosses will assume large pro.
portions and that tho meat will be
used instead of mutton and boef on
our homo ranches and also furnish
cheap ment to the European markets.
IA this is n purely Texas enterprise,
we hope to sec Mr. Parrish succeed Ia

with improved goats, and demonstrate
