AYERS
Cherry PeCtoraI

Is not new claimant for popular conf
dence, but a medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not a person
who has ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is a
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PECTORALfo for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

Gamblers SuperstitlOns.

"When the kerds are comm yer way,
why play 'em fur all they're worth.
Make the dealers eyes start out the
socket, and don tstop the lick till you'v
busted the machine, or luck changes. -
This advice was given me the other day
by one of the old-timers, during a con-
versation regarding faro and other
games which are played at most from
tier towns openly and publicly.
81 made run at Garcia's, one night,
and scooped 'em to the tune of $4,000,
and before they know'd they were hurt,
and when Charley was bankin' / tapped
him for over $1,000 inside of thirty
minutes, and then turned fool and blew
it in at Colds. My rule, young fellow,
is to stop when luck changes, and its
a burned good rule, but can no more
follow it than doctor can take his
own medicine. When I'm winnin' want
to break the bank; when I lose, play
on, hoping for good streak. Some
times she comes, sometimes she
doesn't"
Speaking about good streaks, gam
blers are very superstitious about signs
and tokens, supposed"

Poetry Of the Railroad.

But If You wish spectacle of sur
passing picturesqueness take post upon
a railroad, at a safe distance from the
track, of dark night, about the time a
train is expected to arrive. First you
hear low thunder reverberating among
distant hills; anon a bright point of light
appears, like star on the drapery of
evening. 1t grows with astonishing
rapidity, and now it glares like the
fierce red eye of a monstrous demon,
becomes larger, redder, fercer every
moment, while the roar of the engine it
heralds becomes more appalling and
voluminous as it approaches. An earth
quake-a wirlwind-a shower of fire
and the train is passed. If there be
not more poetry in this than in an old
night-coach, with its dim lamps, drowsy
driver, piled-up baggage-rack, snoring
passengers and weary cattle, then we
give up our point. To us a railway
train is a RELAXATION of the widest fam
cies of eastern romances, the fireman
an Afrite, the conductor a magician,
the brakeman attendant genii. Boston

Texas Crops.

w. w. Boss, in his crop report to the
Department of Agriculture at Washington
Ior August 1, says: Corn, once so promis-
ing, has been injured some by the drought;
especially was this so with the later plant
ing; 1t is late, and with us this is always
unfavorable. The earlier planted is fair
crop, and considered an average, while the
later planting is cut off at least one-half ::
yet there will be plenty made to supply all
s's'slle demands, as the acreage is large.
Wheat is good average-from
twelve to twenty-seven bushels per acre /;
line and plump grain. Oats is good; some
is threshing as much as eighty bushels per
acre; the grain is well filed and heavy.
Native hay pasture is good. Irish potatoes
very good; sweet not so good-needing
rain. Sorghum about on an average.
Apples and peaches are not good. Grapes
very fine. Cotton, the yield is small; the
early plant is well fruited with bolls and
forms and is now blossoming near the top
and needing rain. The later planted has
but little fruit; it is growing and has done
finely. The crop is at least ten or fifteen
days late, with ten or fifteen per cent. less
acreage. No boil worms to do any harm
are reported yet.
