But we found not the land of content.

This land with the beautiful name
Ambition will lend me its light"
But paused in my journey zero night
For the way grew 80 lonely and troubled;
said-my anxiety doubled
This Is not tie road TO content
Then l Joined the great rabble and throng
That frequents the monied worlds mart;
But the greed, and the grasping and wrong
Lett me only one wish-to depart.
And sickened, and saddened at heart,
hurried away from the gateway,
For my soul and my spirit said straishtway,
"This Is not the road TO content"
Then weary in body and brain.
An overgrown path detected,
And said will hide with my pain
In this by-way, unused and neglected.

To crown with His best gifts of beauty,
And thro' the dark pathway OF duty

TEMPLE on the Santa Fe road
is improving rapidly consider
ing the age of the town. Many
new frame buildings are in
course of construction, and it is
said that contracts have been
made for the erection of a num-
Der of stone buildings. The
Santa Fe road is largely inter-
ested in Temple property, hav-
ing laid off the town, and it will
do all in its power to make a
business point of it. AT the
present time Bolton is very un-
easy, the people hope to get
tap road to the Missouri Pacific
and have faint hope of getting
the narrow guage from Waco.
AT present everything in Bel
ton is in a delightful state Of
uncertainty. There is quite a
number of vacant business
houses, and no further improve
ments are being made at pres
ent in the business part of town.
New dwelling houses are still
being erected.

IT begins to look as if the new
pistol law had nude an extra
demand for deputy sh eriffs.
Be it known that deputy sher-
iffis supposed to have the right
to carry a pistol when in the
discharge of his official duty.
Rumor has it that deputy sher-
ifs are far more numerous than
the peaceable condition of our
county would seem to warrant.
The appointment of a man to
be a deputy sheriff in order to
evade the pistol law is wrong in
principal and practice. Where
any emergency exists that
makes the carrying ola pistol a
matter of personal safety, the
law is amply sufficient.

Heavy Land Purchase.

Mr.. Correl, of this city, pur-
chased at Sherigs sale at Bra
zoria last Tuesday, over FIVE
thousand acres of land in that
county, most Of which lies on
Oyster creek. The average
price paid by Mr.. c. for this
land was 40 cents per acre.
These same lands fifteen years
ago were in active demand at
SIS per acre, but the scarcity OF
labor with which to cultivate
them has caused the great de-
cline in price. The work being
done at the mouth ofthe Brazos
by the government, together
with the prospects OF a early
completion of several railroad
enterprises in that direction
renders it almost certain that
great change is soon to
place for the better, resultiJ
an active demand for land
Brazoria and a consa
rapid advance in valua
Mr.. Correl has made a
vestment no one al
with the country
and we congratulate
his acknowledgement an
ness in his purchase.
