A TRAIN on the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe Railroad was boarded by six rob-
bers, near Cleburne, Texas, the other night.
Ordering all hands up the thieves walked
through the coach, one of them holding a
FELLOWSHIP open and telling the passengers
to drop something in for the missionary
fund, and they all contributed literally.
The conductor dropped in just after the col.
lection, but Immediately started back for
the express car. As the door closed behind
him one of the robbers shot at him, but
missed. The train started up at this June
ture, and one OF the men crying Jump,
off, boys" they rushed to the platform and
disappeared. The amount of money they
got is variously estimated, but the most re-
liable report says il was over 81 200. The
Sheriff of johnson County, with large
posse and a pack of bloodhounds, started in
pursuit.

A TRAGEDY marked by unusual fend-
ishness and brutality was enacted at Hop
kinton, Mass, the her morning. Patrick
Kelly murdered his son, literally chopping
his head from his body. The family were
at breakfast, when the father left the table
and went out into the yard, returning in
few minutes with an ak i'm his hand. His
16-year-od son was sitting with his back
toward the door. As Kelly entered he lifted
the AK and, without word of warning,
brought it down with full force upon his
sons head. The blow was a glancing one
and the ak was blunt, so the head was not
split, but the boy fell over dead. The mon
ster, not satisfied with this, proceeded to
strike at the boys neck, until he had sew
ereu lis head from the body and sent it roll
linz across the floor. The murderer was ar
rested before he had gone square.

broken levees. He shows that near
" 10000 persons will sustain pc

TIE Governor of Arkansas, to a
great extent, ccincides with the

no reason why the Federal govern

do the work required along the rIv'

Gov. Loweuy states that before

About the Farmer.

Is it not living fact that the
farmer now feels something of the
old inherited, dependent and servile
spirit which was SO universal among
the laboring classes in the centuries
past and gone? If he did not feel
and show this spirit, why should
his rights be so often ignored, his
feelings hurt, and he himself treated
as though he belonged to an infe-
rior class? The man who bold,
asserts his rights and feels hi
equality with others may be hated,
but he will never be looked down
upon. 1t is the manifest duty of
the farmer if he is conscious of feel
ing one particle of servility to 9th
er classes to rise above it Just as
quick as he can. He must educate
himself and better his circumstan
ces, and elevate his condition till
he can feel the assurance that he
stands on the full level with the
most prosperous and best educated
class. He must think and study
and learn and work till he is fully
emancipated from the thraldom Of
poverty, ignorance and mental IN
activity which has heretofore char,
acterized his condition. He must
work out his. salvation by patience
and industry, by observation, by
experiment, and the exercise OF his
indomitable will. He must feel his
nobility and respect himself as the
son of the Most High, capable of
doing great things and of achiev-
ing a noble and high destiny. He
must build himself up into the stat
ure of perfect man. Just to the
extent that he builds himself up in
dignity, self-respect, strength of
character, knowledge and power of
will, to that extent will he gain
conquest of nature, make the earth
yield her increase, and attain the
ends of his earthly existence.
There is beyond peradventure
bright future outlook for the farmer
If he will shake himself from sloth
and be up and doing with a cheerful
heart and determined will the work
or to day.-SoutAern CultigGtor.
