CAN'T BE CURED I

Who says so? "The best physicians
have been consulted. and they all agree that
the case is beyond the reach of medicine. v
Have You tried the new Vitalizing Treat
mopt, which acts directly upon the great
nerve centres and gives to nil the vital
organs new life force and a higher activity
"No; never heard of it. What is it called ~
Compound Oxygen. "Oh yes, Ihave seen
it advertised, but supposed it to be one Of
the medical humbugs of the day." If all
that we have read about the cures it is max
ing is true, it is the most wonderful thera-
peutic agent over discovered. "Where can
it be obtained?" Only of Drs Starkey Il
Palen, 11Oo Girard Street, Philadelphia.
Now, take our advice and write to them,
giving statement of your condition. You
will get prompt answer, and IL DiH cost got
nothing as they make no charge for consnIta-
hons If, like your physicians, they see no
hope in your case. they will honestly tell
you so. But if they have treated similar
cases successfully, they will, in making q
favorable report, send such evidence of their
professional integrity and skill, with such
reports of cases which they have treated,
and the remarkable results TINT have fol-
lowed, as can hardly fail TO give you conf
dence both in them and their new and
wonderful Treatment. 1U tbs as De hare

Olive Logan's Advice to Girls.

We have published the following bit of
excellent advice and capital good thing we
don't know how many times during our edi-
torial career, and had clipped it again for
our columns, when friend sent us another
copy suggesting its insertion. So we give
it place on our local page feeling that we
are doing good deed, and asking for it the
prayerful consideration of whom it may
concern.-ED.
A woman's safeguard is to keepa mans
hands off her. If you need his assistance
in walking take his arm instead of his taking
yours. Just tell him in plain English, to
''hands off," He may not like it at first,
but will respect you ten fold more. Men
will be and do Just what the women allow
them to do. Men will not do to trust. Give
O man your arm and you will find him very
confidential, and he will take great many
privileges that he would not take if he
were not permitted to do so. He will give
your arm many loving squeezes and sly
twists that he could have no opportunity of
doing. and that opportunity is just what he
is after. A few words more of advice and
I close. Keep your girls off the street, ex-
cept when they have business Teach them
that it is unnecessary to go to the post office
every time they go out. Girls can walk
alone as well as boys. Don't allow your
girls, if they must have beau, to go with
boys much older than themselves. If pos
sible, instill into their very nature that they
are safer in their own hands than they are
in the hands of any man-preachers not ex-
cepted

More Dlreful Work Of the Six Shooter,

rive arc indebted to gentleman who was
present at or Immediately after tho shooting
for the following report.
A horrible tragedy occurred at the Ry-
lander school house lin Guadalupe county,
last Sunday incoming just rs Sunday school
was breaking up, which resulted in tho
death Of young man (Houston Gary and
the wounding of two Others. Gary's an
tagonist Gus. Scrutchins) received slight
wound on one arm, and Mr.. Wiley Watson,
who undertook TO stop the affair, received a
severe wound in his left shoulder. Women
aud children were screaming and jumping
ont of windows, hiding under benches, &c,
for the shooting affair took place in the
door, ono party being inside and one out
side of the door. Great excitement pre-
vailed during the day. Scrutchins, realizing
the situation, skipped n short limo after tho
occurrence. Squire - held an in
quest that afternoon-it is needless TO say
what verdict was rendered. DIR. Cation
being called, dressed Mr.. Watsons wound
and made the post mortem examination.
Mr.. Watson was resting easy up to last nc
count. Scrutchins has not been heard from
since that afternoon. The remains of Mr.
Gary were lodged in their last resting place
Monday morning-a large number of friends
and neighbors were present to pay the last
tribute of respect to tho deceased. His
friends and relatives receive much sympathy
in their sad bereavement.

NIartindale,

APRIL 28, 1884.
| Ed. FREE PREss:-Since our last we have
had rain in abundance; it has rained more
here in tho past sixty days than it did in the
two years previous. Finest prospects for
good crops this season this part of Texas
has had for quite number of years. Corn
and small grain crops look very fine. The
acreage of small grain is comparatively
small, but what was sown is exceedingly for
ward and very fine Corn will soon MI be
laid by; there is nothing for farmers to do
but work their cotton and harvest small
grain. Gardens all fine this season on &C.
count of plenty of rain; more vegetables
in this part than has been for years past.
Our enteryrising young farmer, MIR. j. S.
Killian, has invented and has in operation
an entirely new cotton chopper, which
proves to be one of the grandest inventions
of the age. One man with pair of mules
or horses can block fifteen acres of cotton
per day. 1t does good work, saves money,
time and labor.
Since the ground has dried so that far
mers can work, our merchants have nothing
to do but white and fish. Goods boxes
in demand at this place now to make whit
tinlg material of; they range from twenty
five cents to one dollar, to be paid in thirty
days, in shavings.
Quite serious accident happened to the
mail carrier few days since at this place.
While crossing the river his horse and bug
gy were carried down by the current, both
capsizing and drowning the horse before he
could be rescued The driver couldn't
swim, but luck would have it, he fell on or
near some brush, which lie caught hold of
and drew himself out of tho water. He
had one passenger, Mr. Alvey, of Luling.
MIR. A. had ON heavy overcoat, which
foated to the bank, landing safely with him
on the other side. He said it didn't hurt
the overcoat much to get wet, only it made
it very cold. The mail bags were lost Our
postmaster offers seventy-fve cents reward
for them, to be taken in merchandise.
Mr.. Jno. Killian, our city blacksmith, has
been quite sick for several days, but we see
him up again to-day.
Mr.. VIM. II Crockett is the happy man
this week. TITS boy.
Miss Lille Rogan, one of Loo harris fair
