"THE female part Of the audience at
German theatre at Prague, was the
other day." says the Pail Mall Gazette,
"greatly scandaliZed by an ukase issued
by the manager of the theatre, ordering
all ladies to don their headgear during
the performance, A good many ladies
present refused to submit on the plea
that their couture was not "Ealon-
masslg." The manager, delighted to
find no other objection to his demand,
made solely in order to Danish the high
hats and bonnets which obstructed the
view of half the audience, gladly ac-
cepted the excuse for that performance
only, on the condition that the ladies
would in future appear bareheaded.
His delight, however, was considerably
modified when the next night the ladies
who must have had full share of the
peryersity of their sex, appeared one
and all with luxurious growth of hair
towering higher than the discarded
hats. That theatre manager is now in
despair. Not even he dare dream of
abollshing false hair.n

II Is said that the reason the Presi

The Texas editors Of Democratic pa
pers. and there are precious few of any
other faith, should make a positive and
concerted claim for the postofllces and
other Federal positions within the gift
Of the administration. There is many
an over-worked editor in Texas, who
has worked and starved for his commu-
nifty publishing n nonpareil paper in a
great primer town, waiting for n good
time that never come to him beyond
many hours of close work, who could
fill the position of postmaster faithfully
and efficiently, and thereby get the rest
from his toll and the reoompense he has
earned. But these positions will not be
obtained without the asking, and there
are many undeserving politicians who
would stand in the way of this sort of
reform, but they should be forced to give
place to more deserving men.

4 GRAYsoN county jury at sherman
gave verdict of II years and 3 months
in the penitentiary against Ed Prentiss,
charged with rape, upon which the Den
ison journal comments rs follows
The punishment is just, and his fate
should be n warning to others. For the
rapist there should be no sympathy, no
compassion. 1t is the most awful crime
that has stained the criminal calender I;
it is the one sin that has no forgiveness.
The crime was committed in Denison,
and stirred the feelings of our people as
no other event ever has. They felt out
ragged, and for the fact that one or two
dirty sheets made it the occasion to heap
obloquy upon the fair name OF our city,
we are confident that our people, one and
all, will feel satisfied with the verdict"

DEAR SIR; My tobacco remedy is

invariable cures in the cases heretofore
mentioned, persons daily tell me of
cases of rheumatism, of rheumatic neu.
ralgia, and even of rheumatic govt
cured by it in every instance and with
no bad after results. Also of old SWELL
ings attributed by physicians to blood
poisoning. One man told me that
three cases of cancer had been cured
by it. There may be doubt, perhaps,
whether they were really cancers, but
some weeks ago found case of more
than seven years standing, which the
two Oldest physicians here pronounced
cancer. | induced the sufferer to try
tobacco and it has improved SO much
that | feel confident of a cure. The
penetrative power of the tobacco in
fuence exceeds my anticipations.

that it will cure Asiatic cholera as il
does invariably that of hogs. On re-

points telegraph me, so that l may get

Southern Lumberman: Mr.. T. L. Nit

Tenn, is in the city and paid us pleas
ant call last Wednesday, Mr. Mitchell
is the pioneer lumberman of White coun.
ty and shipped the first car load oflum
Der that was ever sent from that coun>
ty. The car was shipped to Atlanta,
Georgia, some years ago, and dealer
there wanted tocontract with him for a
million feet of black walnut, but Mr..
Mitchell did not think at that time
there was that amount of walnut in
White county. The best estimate that
can be made shows that more than five
million feet have since been sent from
that county, and Mr.. Mitchell says
there is large quantity still availa-
bic. How little did our own people
know of our timber resources! And
how long will it take to convey to out
siderS and idea of the vast wealth
locked upin our Southern forests?

Big Wheat Yields.

Not only have parties been losers
from results of the national and local
elections in having to hand over the
double eagles, hats, overcoats, boots,
etc., but it seems that a pair of boots
is being handed around at Garfield
this county for different results than
the election. B. r. Parks and Mr..
Baird of that place, agreed to present
the one that had the largest number of
sacks of wheat off 100 acres of land,
after threshing. Mr.. Baird took the
boots, his quarter section yielding 1927
sacks, About this time S. H. Cole
threshed 1890 sacks of wheat from his
quarter section near Kingsburg, which
up to this time was the largest yield of
grain from "a quarter section yet re-
corded. But the boots were not hand
ed over to him as he was not known in
the ring.
Later however, Chas. A. Owen has
threshed from quarter section at Gar
field over 1000 sacks of wheat. Mr..
Owen was not in the competition, but
Mr.. Baird thinks he ought to give him
the boots, and although much worn,
he will make formal presentation Of
them to Mr.. Owen.
The quarter section belonging to s.
II. Cole mentioned above was bought
by him two years ago for 81 800 cash.
The land lay as summer fallow during
the summer of 'S3 and was drilled to
propo wheat last December; the plow'
ing, seeding, heading, threshiDg and
hauling to Kingsburg were all hired
done, after deducting all expenses the
owner realized a clear profit of over
81, 800, more than paying for the land
This calculation was made on the basi:
of 81 per GENITAL for wheat, SO it would
seem that farming will pay this yea'

Merchants and Manufacturers Re.
view: Experiments conducted for
several years under the auspices of
John Hopkins university have proved
that the artificial cultivation of oysters
is practicable without question. The
European oyster increase theory was
long accepted in America as the true
and only one. In the Northern Euro
pean oyster the eggs are Matched inside
the parent shell and protected and
fastened until they are able to take
care of themselves. 1t seems this is
not the oyster breeding habit in more
Southern ATTITUDES. The university
students Of the American oyster in the
regions round about Maryland find
that unfertllized oyster eggs are thrown
out into the water, where they are fer
tilted and developed without the need
of protection till they grow IA shell Of
their own. Thus it becomes possible
to cultivate oysters in unlimited mum
bers and the oyster raising industry is
about to begin. The university expert
ments have been tried on oysters il
Southern Europe with the same prom
Using results. This new industry comes
in good time, as the oyster beds, KEEP
up by the planting method, are rap
idly wearing out. The new oyster cul
ture can supply any demand.
