Of the decline and INSTABILITY which has
occurred during the past year in the
value Of silver bullion compared with

value Of silver as compared
with gold can only be
re- established by reason Of concurrent

the supreme court. His will directed the
sale, and the proceeds to be divided among
his children; but the executrix, one of his
daughters, failed through ill-heaith. to do it.
Since her death the surviving daughter,
Gabrielle, brought suit with the above re-

J,auham Again to the Front.

We the other day made another pleasant
and instructive call on our enterprlslhg
friend and fellow citizen, Mr.. Lanham, or
the San Marcos Carriage Factory works.
We found he had inaugurated great I'M
movements since our last previous call,
chief of which is the introduction OF one
of the admirable Common Sense Engines,
manufactured at Springfield, Ohio. This Is
the neatest and completest thing OF the kind
we ever srw; the boiler and engine are
SO combined as to occupy comparatively III
tie space. The engine is seven horse pow
err, and appears to be in oil respects per-
feet piece of machinery. 1t IS used TO run
a Band Saving Machine. which executes oil
sorts of saving, such as for church ana
school seats, brackets, and all that sort OF
work. with wonderful accuracy and light
ming velocity MIR. Lanham is now prepar-
ed to fill orders for this class of work rapidly.
While on the ground we also visited the
Carriage Finishing Department. There we
saw, as Just completed by MIR. Lanham, we
believe the finest buggy we ever saw, at
least, certainly, in Texas. 1t was not only
fine. but substantial. having steel axles and
tires, leather top, and other things to match.
II has, besides. al unhitching attachment,
which is really something wonderful. BY
its aid YOU can sit in the buggy, and by
means of strap unhitch your team IN an
instant in case they should become unman-
aCeable or if from any other reason you
NAV desire to unloose them from the vehicle
at once, as for instance upon returning
home from drive. II is great and use

Mr.. Lanham is doing o great work FOL

Of truth that during the greater part OF
