Yesterday morning the little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Plunkett III some
manner got hold of a bottle of carbollc
acid. and before any of the family knew
ANYTHING of it had drank portion OF
the contents. The effect was of course
instantaneous and terrible. Medical aid
was at once summoned and all that
was possible done for the little sufferer.
The child is only about four
teen months old and of course
the extent of the injury cannot
at present be known as well as if it were
an elder person. The attending physl-
clan last evening reported her resting
well, though he was fearful about her
recovery. The friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Plunkett will sympathize with them in
the affection that has overtaken them.
We hope, however, the injury will
speedily be removed. and the feeling Of
anxiety they now un lergo wear away.

OIst SPRING TRADE.
Concerning Ii From
Various Sources.

For some time past those who are di- |
r.ctIv interested have been somewhat |
uncertain as to what the spring trade of |
Waco is going to be, especially in whole !
sale lines, and the matter has given
them 10 small amount of concern. We
have taken some pains to make careful
inquiry among the business and profess
sional men i'll the territory tributary
to Waco, and also among commercial
travellers and those who make it a point
to watch such things closely. From the
fact that the wholesale trade has been
quite stagnant in Waco and other Texas
cities for some time past, and country
retail trade equally so, would incline us
to the belief that such has been the case
to a still greater degree in the small
country towns. Such, we learn from
the best posted persons, is not the case,
however. Owing to the very
bad weather farmers throughout
this vast section have been
unable to get beyond their own town,
and owing to this the trade has been
light in centers like Waco, and the local
towns have been the gamer thereby
The cotton, corn, oats, country produce
and all sorts Of products have been
taken to the country towns and disposed
/ of. In return the merchant has fnr',isl.oI
| them goods aud during the bad
/ weather, contrary to general belief, the
! country merchant has heen having a
/ better trade III proportion than his
city neighbor. In consequence of
this and the further fact that
/ lac has except along the railroads been
unable TO come to town to replenish his
stock, it has run very low, and when he
does purchase his bills will be much
larger than they otherwise would be. This
We learn Is the case in nearly every part
of our territory. The country merchants
have had much of the trade which il
good roads would have come to Waco
have more money on hand than they get
credit for. and will be able to purchase
good bills when they commence
selecting spring stock. travellers from
Waco Galveston, New Orleans ant
other points say they find the interior
merchants all cheerful and confident Of
IA good spring trade. If they get thai
trade they VIII have 10 buy largely il
wholesale centers, which will give oul
jobbers a good opening. The country
people who have not been to town since
Christmas will soon begin to come il
and this, with the railroad money put il
circulation will give rs good retail
spring trade. CHANGING over the pros
poets We see more to indicate brlgh
than a gloomy state of things.
