The Mckinney Advocate, giving utterAnoa

Many farmers cherished bright hopes of

families and Danish the geunt demon Of debt
from their presence foraver La the early
spring they worked indusriouaIy and in the
heated summer relaxed not their ardor. The
grocery merchant and tn dry goods man
made liberal advances on their coming crop
of cotton. But when their hopes were exalted
the cotton worm with its disastrous ray
ages came and laid them low. Again, when
the spolation of the worm had ceased, and
hope anew had sprung up, to assure them Of
OF least remnant, the blightiug frost came
and cut that short. Then also came bad
weather which prevented the gathering Of
that which remained until ii WIS greatly
damaged and brought but poor compenss-
ton for the labor expended. Now we
would not discourage our farmers from the
cultivation of cotton, even it were in our
power to do so; but We would encourage
them 10 depend upon other crops also.
The idea of waling over the cotton crop Of
last year is amusing. Why TexGs made
about 100000 more bales than ever she over
did before. the whole crop being 100000
bales, more thsn any state in the union pro-
duced. It is good idea though to plant
enough of corn and whoa! for home con.
sumption.
The Marshall Messenger, paper Sound
judgment and just discrimination, says:
Mr. Pfouts, Of TIE Dallas Daily HERALD,
has been in Marahall recently in the interest
Of bis paper. Since the establishment Of the
HERALD it has risen steadily IN the estima-
ton Of the people of Texas, snd it is now
numbered Is one of the best newspapers in
the state Tie services of the editor Of the
Messenger have been secured as correspond
ent Of the HERALD at this place.
The press of Texas has uniformly, so far
as we hsve noticed, trested the San AN
tonic Express with courtesy and kindness,
and why that paper SHOULD SEQ proper to
malign and attempt to throw disrepute upon
the newspaper men of this state is beyond
our conception. The Express says
It's nice to have diamonds but it iS trou-
blesome. So Sir Thomas Hsspeth, who
married the daughter of Senator Sharon, of
Nevada, finds. His wife has large collec
uoa of Jewels which the English thieves are
anxious to possess. The police of Lanoas.
ter, where Sir Thomas resides, discovered =
plot the other day TO rob RuilOrd hsl, and
Jorge body OF men had TO be stationed
srouhd il oprotect Lady Hesp TINS jewels
During the bull sir Thomas gave on his re-
turn 10 his ancestral halls it was necessary
to guard the place we'll and policemen were
stationed in all tho bedrooms and psrlors.
Similarly, Mrs Astor, who owns $500 900
worth of diamonds, has to have the pro.ee-
ton of the police when she wears them
Two policemen accompany her wherever
she goes, and friends inviting her to balls
have to send two blank invitations TO these
protectors of her diamonds, who, dressed in
swaliow-tail aud kids, walk on either side of
her. The average journalist is sometimes
favored with the protective company OF the
guardians of the police, but diamonds are
not the moving cause of these attentions.
AT least they don't cali it by that name in
Texas
The Express knows that every journalist
in Texas is possessed Of AT least dozen dis.
monds of the FIRST water and the largest size.
Nearly half of them wear necklaces, and
bracelets are very common, while tiaras for
adjoining the back hair are mere every day
ornaments. Why, we know an editor of q
paper published here in north Texas, small
paper ut that, who laid down four diamonds
short time since, simply because he couldn't
get five.
The Waco Examiner philosophers after
this wise on 'crime and its restraints"
The question of whether the law should
forbid the carrying Of deadly weapons, is one
of the great importance. The question, like
most others, has two sides to IL. 1t is i'm
possible to make law so stringent as 10
prevent the lawless from carrying deadly
weapons. they will evade it and be found IN
antagonism to it, If the peacsble citizen j.
deprived of the privilege, by the force OF
law, ne not only.has q constitutional right
abridged, but he is left unarmed and at the
mercy of every lawless depredator. Or
tho other hand, il the carrying o.
deadly weapons becomes common, mer
