As I saw it from my window the country is very Ioer, and in many places worse than the rockey black jack ridges of Arkan- sas. It is very uneven country, hills and bellows, and great many of them. was told that there was good land on tue Trinity River, but l did not see it. The timber in this portion of Texas is very plenty, but is fit only for fire wood, being very scrubby and crooked. The land has sort of pipe clayish appearance.
 Somewhere between the Trinity and Brazos Rivers, l saw the first signs of what is. by some, called the pest of Texas-the Red Ant. They are every where; at least, I found them wherever I went. Nothing grows around their nest, and, if yon want to feel that you are on fire, get into nest of them and have them sting you just few times. They sting or bite, or both, and the feel ing produced is similar to the sting of a wasp with little hot water ad- ded. Your correspondent tried just one, and is fully satisfied without any further experience in that line.
 About 1 am, we reached Hearne, at the crossing of the International and Texas Central railway. Here, for the present, we will rest. and hear more at some other time, if the DEM ocRAT is willing.

Dealing With a Liar.

The only way to deal with a lar is to beat him at his own game What started this item was reading about an American who had been to Europe and who was telling friend, who knew he was a liar, about his trip across tue Atlantic and how on the 25th of the month they ehcoun- tered a swarm of locusts, and the To- custs carried away every stitch of canvass of the ship
 The listener looked thoughtful a moment, and then said, hesitatingly Yes, l guess we met the same swarm of locnsts the next day, the 26th.-- Every locust had on pair of can vass pants.
 The first liar went around cor ner and kicked himself.-Peck' s Sun.

GET READY FoR THE FA1R.

GET READY FOR THE FAIR.
It is the duty Of every farmer aud
tradesman to make an exhibit Of some
product from his premises at q county,
district or State Fair-at all Of them
IL possible. Farmers are not generally
awaIe how much they are indebted to
Agricultural, Horticulture and In
dustrial Associations for the fine
stock, implements, etc, upon their
farms is competition to a greatex-
tent that has brought our machinery
to its present state, bordering on per
fiction, and furnished us with as fine
domestic animals as can be found upon
the face of the earth. Then do not re-
gard the fair as simply a place for
meeting and vieing for premiums, for
Il makes no odds how incompetent
or unjust the judges may be, no farm
er can attend fair with his eyes open
without receiving benefit therefrOm.
He becomes posted regarding new
and improved machinery, new and
superior vegetables and grains, I'M
proved grades Of stock, ect., and Is
better able TO determine what changes
are necessary To make his farm the
most renumerative. Now ,while the
husbandman gathers from these ex-
hibitions. So much that Is TO be Of
lasting benefit 10 himself, he owes to
the interest Of his county and State
an effort to help build up and sustain
these institutions, and limo way can
he 80 well fulfill that obligation "a by
attending the fairs with his family,
and taking along something To add TO
the variety and help make up a grand
display. Let everybody in the county
lend a helping hand and make the
County Fair the best ever held i'm
this county. Having but few manu-
factories here, IL rests with the farm
ers whether we fail or succeed. Again
asking the cooperation OF every citi-
zen, farmer, merchant and mechanic,
To make our fair success, ! am
respec'y yours, CHAs. :. MARTIN,

After many references to its pages
we are satisfied that the Peoples Cy-

pendulum OF useful knowledge In exis-

for the poorest family to possess il,
and when once possessed they have
in a convenient and abridged form all
the information which an Alexan-
drian library co1ld possibly contain.
In this age, learning is not confined TO
the monastery or palace IL may be
stumbled upon in the most lOwly hut.
Il Is the cyelOpedia which Is educat-
ing the lOwly born and bred in all the
arts and sciences which are known 20
our times. The Peoples CyelOpedia
is reasonable in size, making two vol
umes Of about loo pages each, sub
slantially bound, exeellently printed,
cOpiOusly illustrated particularly with
views Of historic buildings. The maps
are in colOrs, well drawn and modern.
AS to the letter press, the definitions
and descriptions are sufficiently full,
for a reader not caring for discussion
or minute details. Probably what the
investigator fails to find here he
would be obliged TO search other

II will be seen by a notice published
elsewhere that the Northwestern Con-
ference Ofthe NJ. +. church Is inviting
proposals from cities within the Con
ference limits for the location Of a
college under the auspices of the NJ.
L. church. Several places are striv-
ing for this privilege, and the strife
may become quite spirited. Salina
not long ago pledged $4,000 to the
Presbyterian church for the location
here ola college Of that denomination
but Emporia outbid her. The advan-
tage Of an Institution Of learning In
our midst is so apparent that it needs
no discussion. Salina is the algest
city within the Conference lines and
can offer more inducements in the
way of money, location, patronage
etc, than any other place. Is she
willing to come forward and do what
she offered TO the Presbyterians? ? We
certainly hope so.
