THE DROUGHT

Seems TO be broken at last and hard times
are not as near us as they seemed last week.
When times are tight and money scarce 1t
is the part of prudence to make every cent
tell, to make every dime go as far as posi-
BILE.
There is no place in town where you can
get more for your money than from us. A
trial will convince you. Examine our
goods and our prices and then, if you
choose, make the grand rounds" but you
will come back TO US. The half year just
passed has been prosperous one to US and
we would be foolish as we'll as ungratefnl If
we did not strive to keep and to widen our
circle of patrons.
Our line of Sugars Cotfees and Cigars is
particularly good and cheap and we invite
inspection. We keep everything belonging
to our trade and propose to sell as cheap as
the cheapest and as good as the best.

The above is the suggestive title of a new
book written by Alex 4 Sweet and j. Annoy
Knox, the humorous editors of the famous
TRxAs SIFTINGs. now the most widely quoted
journal in the United States. The book is a
large 700 page volume. illustrated with nearly
300 original lustrations. This book ia not q
collection of wtticisms without connection. but
is a continuous narrative descriptive of the pc
cuiiarities, characteristics and atrocities of
some of the quainlest people In some OF the
auserest corners of the United States. AL
though brimming over with humOr and spark
ling with wit, it ia more than volume OF wit
and humor 1t contains vast quantity OF val
usble information regarding Texas and Mexico
their resources and industries, the manners,
customs and habits Of their people. etc.
The publishers. Thayer, Merriam Il Co.,
COS Arch street. Philadelphia, may well be
proud of the handsome manner in which they
have turned out the book. II will be sold only
by subscription. The publishers want agents
in every township in the country, to whom
they are prepared to offer liberal inducements.
They will send circularS, instructions and sam
pie pages free on application by letter. or com

world has laughed at the the humorous writing
of the editors OF TEXAS SIFTINGs, almost every
one who can read will want copy of their
book. 1t will, therefore. be q bonanza to
agents, who will make money rapidly by sell

Burkhead ON Christ.


He lowered up with lofty thought,
Expounding Holy Truth Divine
Deep inspiration, hghtnings caught
From Horeb-Law and Faith sublime,
Down to the deepest depths below,
Where all is woe and dark within,
He stopped in mercy--is pleading now,
To save fallen world from sin.
Our Great Men Shine Best When Dead.
Tall mountains looming up ON high,
Reflect the morning light;
All tinged with golden sunset sky
That mellows into night
And SO with giant minds of earth,
Like comets in their fight;
The sun must set to show their worth,
The beauty of their light.

down the river on pleasure trip on

The start was made from Scott's wharf,

slow progress was made until opposite
Locust Point when a br,eze started the
little craft at a spanking pace, which was
greatly enjoyed by the merry party t.
Weloh Point was reached about p NJ,
and the many baskets provided by the
ladies, were taken on shore and boun-

the party fingered until about p NJ,
when sail was again set for Elkton, which
point they reached about II o'clock. The
homeward trip was slow, but not too

The Fete thampetre.

The entertainment ur festival given un
the College Campus, on Friday and Sat
urday evenings of last week, by the Ladies
Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church,
Of town, was a success financially, as we'll
as most pleasurable occasion 10 all who
attended. The grounds were beautifully
and ,astefully DECORATED with Chinese
lanterns and flags, and at nights thou
sand hned lights were shed ipon old and
young with The same pretty effect. 1t was
a most festive scene. Lovers gay strolled
through apd about the Campus, while
those more mature in life sat beneath the
lindens, phattea about old times and
reoollectiops dear. Children rpmped
gayly about while the beautiful moon
cast fantastic shadows all around, and If
your reporter was not too much mistaken,
the moonbeams whispered many love
sayings to not few happy maidcns on
that eventful occasion. The proceeds, we
understand, amounted to about $ll2. The
ladies who coDduted the fete deserves
much praise for their great energy, and
for the happy style in which they SO
admirably succeeded.
