| CYPRESS MILLS, BlaI co Co., May
7-Our wool growers are now clip
ping their coupons, and find that the
continuous heavy rains have washed
away large part of the dirt which
has heretofore accumulated in the
tleeces along about shearing time.
This, together with the refusal of
that democratic house to pass the
Converse bill restoring the duty on
wool, solely disgruntles the sheep man.
This is not the case, however, with all
wool producers, for neighbor-the
largest sheep owner in this vicinity
is in favor of horizontal reduction of
the tariff on all articles, wool included,
and voted for Judge Hancock last
election.
The cattle men have already reaped
their harvest. Mr.. Blocker had con-
tracted most of the surplus at $l1 and
$15 for yearlings and twos. Those
who refused to contract received SI2
and SIG from Pryor & Robinson
and Hudson, Watson s. Co., of Bur
net county.
Messrs. Anstin and Eugene Robin
son have gathered their stocks and
will drive soon to Colorado, taking
entire community. They have been
useful, especially to the smaller stock
owners, as they were enabled to look
after everything on the range, and
act as check on that class which
depredates on estrays and unbranded
stock.
Mr.. James Peery, Of the Austin
House, Austin, has been back in his
old range of late hunting horses
Mr.. Peery Is another man who Is a
benefit to any community In which
he may settle.
The picnic season is upon us, and
the various parties seem to enjoy
themselves amazingly. The 'tick''
crop seems rather short this spring.
Your occasional attended barbe-
cue at Byrdtown recently, and found
that that community could make a
fine tournament. The usual edibles
were In profusion, and the invitation
to eat, drink and be merry was hearty,
The celebration was so arranged that
the dancing might continue all night,
which it certainly did.
Mai. D. w. Jones, of Austin, has
been camped near the Falls for a
week past. His party have had
a fine opportunity to see the
Falls at their test, for two or three
heavy rains have fallen lately, and
the roaring could be heard distinctly
several miles.
Mr.. j. NJ. Roberts, who sold his fine
place last fall to Mr.. Holton, has con-
cluded that he can find no better coun-
try than the old Pedernalis, and has
bought ranch near Deadman. on the
south side of the river. Mr.. Roberts
has always been terror to eyil-doers,
and we are glad he will remain in this
section. OCCASIONAL.

Loehlin were to 1--we taken place on
Sunday. The yong couple had for
some time been egaged. Both parties

from either family were made. MIR.
Christian had bought license and
made preparations; but on Sunday
morning he was landed the following
letter, which explains ITSELF

Raises sweet, glad face to my unhappy eyes

ProtectIonists Reluctantly weakening

TrotectlOn1sts Reluctantly Weakening
From the Washington Star, Qnd. Rep.)
The productions OF Mr.. Morrison
that Democratic opposition to his tar
iii bill would weaken as the fight pro-
crossed seem to have already been YER
flied. This weakening is not due
to any change of opinion among the
Democrats who have hitherto follow
ed Mr.. Randall. 1t is policy, not prin-
ciple, that strengthens the Morrison
bill. Not single Democrat of the
opposition has been convinced that
there is anything but evil in the meas
ure, but the necessity for some appear
ance of unity in the party outweighs
their objections to the bill. But it is
votes that Mr.. Morrison needs, and so
that he gets them he is not likely to
inquire very particularly into the mo-
tiVes that lies back of them.

DR.. Eberhart. Fiery Ku-KIux Fiend

Dr. EDerhHrb, F1ery hu-hIUX IIenu.
From the Savanna News,
DR.. Eberhart is extremely fond of a
joke. The other night he determined
to scare his boys, who were up town,
out of their wits when they came
home. So he took a big board out in
the piazza, and with a stick of phos-
phorus drew fiery coffin on the
board, with a devil in it, after the
manner of the X. X. X. He became
absorbed in his work and neglected to
watch his phosphorus, and the first
thing he knew it ignited, and before
he could let it loose the skin was
burned off his fingers on his right
hand.

Rosues in the State of Wooden Nutme gs.
From the Hartford Courant.
A boy was just about to be put off
the cars at Stanford Tuesday because
he could not pay his fare any further.
A generous man came along who
heard his story to the effect that he
was going to see his dying mother. and
was SO moved by the pitiful situation
that ne declared the boy should have
his fare paid and something more, He
started a collection by giving So, and
the sum of $3.50 was raised and hand
ed over to the boy to pay his fare and
make his mother comfortable when he
arrived home. The man who proved
to be so kind-hearted will be rewarded
for his act. He was the boys father
and the plan was contrived before
they left New York. 1t worked
finely.

Something that Patti Forgot to Take

FROM the san francisco Post.
The other morning sad-looking
citizen walked into the office of Wells
u Fargo's Express and began sol
EMMY doing up in package a bat
tered looking silver dollar. Having
accomplished this he passed the en-
closure over to the clerk and said: q
found this dollar on market street last
night and wish you'd address it to
Adelina Patti, New York" Think
she lost it, eh?" think 2" said the
man, in a surprised voice; "why, of
course. So far as l can learn it's the
only dollar left in San Francisco and
of course it must have been dropped
by her. Send IL along, please, and
you'll have to collect the charges at
the other end. haven't got a cent.
A Brilliant Scheme to Get Rich Right Off
From the Syracuse Herald.
The fertile brain of Lew" Smith
has invented plan for increasing
the profits of farming. He says that
he has two bushels of potato bugs,
which he collected and saved last
year. All the farmers in his vicinity,
he believes, have run short on potato
bugs. He will sell his bugs at dollar
pint, the buyer to pay for killing OF
propagation. If the bugs are not all
sold within three days Mr.. Smith
solemnly affirms that at the dead of
night he will take Caroline and the
dogs and the bugs and disseminate
those bugs among the fields of the
country round about. Mr.. Smith
makes this announcement as a friend
ly warning.

THE FLOWER BORDER.

A Plea for Some Native Beauties Tha
Gardeners Neglect.
From the Gardeners Monthly.
For our part we see no more reason
why we should not force nature to
give us carpet beds and mosaic flow
gardens than that flowers should be
arranged in baskets or bouquets or
sprinkled around in certain places on
dinner tables or rs festival ornaments.
But we should love to see the beauti-
g. mixed flower border less forgotten
than it seems to be. The hardy herb
aceous plant, which asks little favor
and takes care of itself with but
small encourag .ment, is capable OF
giving pleasure at least equal to any
mosaic flower bed, and we should be
glad to see the taste for these revived.
With few fine days in February we
saw a large moss of the winter AGO
mite in fun flower in a mixed border,
and in March, before the snow was
wholly gone, the bees were at work
on the deliciously scented. though not
snowy, flowers of the Pachysandra
procumbens-a hard ndme-Dut
no acceptable common one
has yet got the popular heart. Then
the Snowdrop and its early COM
petitor, the yellow Friitilary. Ane-
mones, Crow foot and such like Visi-
tors in the earliest spring day; who
would be without them who has once
enjoyed their company? A few pto-
pie who love flowers take delight III
getting some one thing which tht y |
know they cin have thorough success
and make special feature of it { Il |
their ground. Suppose, for instance.
one could learn to grow well the trail |
ing Arbutus, and after thus learning, |
make special feature of it? What |
would excite the envy more, if there
is pleasure in making ones neigh
bors envious, than in having huge |
mass of this lovely spring flower ar
ranged in some unique and tasteful
plan? We do this now with some few
things. We do it with roses, rhodo-
lendrons, aZaleas and some other
plants, and some OF us go a hundred
niles to zee some wonderful picture of
beauty which these lovely things pre-
tent to ardent admirers of Flora. We
should be glad to see more dole in this
inc, though in no degree desiring to
discourage the now prevalent t asst
or massing Of leaf plants in summer
