PALESTINE, TEXAS, Sept. 80.
The recent Republican Conven-
ton held in tits city, nominated Mr.
II. I. Richardson for the Legislature.
All the other nominees were whites.
This nomination is high comph-
ment to old Limestone and to Ath
ems. Mr.. Richardson being the first
colored Athenian nominated for such
a post Of honor. But Athenians
continue to come to the front where
eyer they plant their footsteps.
Prospects are favorable for the
election of our nominee as he has
great influence among the citizens Of

The advances system Of farming
may not be altogether satisfactory
one, but the repeal Of the crop lien
law would make matters worse for
both landlords and laborers. Our
farmers must live until they get able
to buy without asking credit. To do
this they must dig deeper than the
lien law. They must cut down ex.
penses and their incomes by raising
more hogs, corn and country pro-
duce.

Happy New Year!

The heart of a business man nstu-
rally warns towards his customers,
those who favor him with q portion
of their patronage. This comes from
the idea of human fellowship, and
grows 80 strong with men in business
that it becomes a habit with them to
consider the needs Of their customers
and adapt their methods of business
to suit. This we think has been the
secret of the great success in business
here of j. B. Delsman, whose store on
llth street is nearly always crowded
with customers, buying or bartering,
customers who continue to deal with
him year after year. As these added
years 60 by, and all are mutually
prosperous together, MI. Delsmsn
feels like thanking his numerous pat
rons for the favors of the past, and
asking q continuance through the new
year, which he hopes will be q happy
and prosperous one to all of bis Gus
toners.

the hospital, but when partially re.
covered from his second wound in.
sists that he must join his regiment
again which was still serving with
Gen. Sheridan in the Army Of the
Shenandoah. He reaches his regi-
melt in the Shenandoah valley. His
impaired health, shattered by two
wounds, one of which would have
killed most soldiers, caused the colo.
mel Of bis regiment to protect him
from full duty, remembering the
bravery Of the soldier which had been
90 coaspicuously shown during oil the
engagements through which he had
passed, the commanding omcer of the
regiment required but little duty Of
him other than that which he most
loved, Q fair chance on oil occasions
to fight those who had twice wounded
him. Again we find the young sol.
der In the front, - Gen. Sheridan
marched his Army Of the Shenandoah
scross Virginia to join the Army Of
the Potomac, and to take part in
breaking up the Confederscy. Van.
derkarr 10 again using bis csrbjne in
the front and forces his way to the
extreme advance, when the enemy
rush onto him, and made the young
soldier their prisoner. He was taken
to that filthy, verminous starving pen,
which, should ever stand Q shameful
reproach to those who were response
bic for it, called Libby Prison. At
the close Of the war Vanderkarr was
exchanged and returned to his home
. disabled man for life.
After the close Of the wal many
officers with their commands were
ordered west for service, among them
being those of the Fifth Michigan.
He had lost track Of his old COM
msnder soon after the war closed. and,
drifting westward himself, settled in
Butler county this state.
He had no idea whether the officer
who had tried experimental surgery
on his person nineteen years before
was yet living or dead.
Sometime during the month of Feb
ruary last he learned that the colonel
Of bis regiment wac q grain dealer in
the Queen City, built by the mountain
side. He accordingly addressed a
letter to Col. S. H. Hastings, of Den
yer, asking an AFFIDAVIT setting forth
the facts of the field surgery prsctised
on his person nineteen years before,
and received an answer that the afi--
dsvit requested would be furnished
10 soon as time would allow.
The chances are that MI. Wander
ksrr will now receive q more equits-
BILE pension, based upon the justice OF
his case, after waiting sixteen years or
more to perfect his claim. He now
receives but two dollars per month.
To afford the Denver gentleman
some consolation for his practice on
the wounded soldier boy, we would
say that the operation did not seem to
check the growth of the young VOL
VERNE, though when walking he now
resembles the arc Of q circle some
what, being considerably curved, yet
when he "braces up" and stands erect
he ia said to measure 8 feet 3 inches
In height and balances at $50 pounds
avoirdupois.
Twice wounded, once left to die and
afterwards q prisoner in the infamous
Libby Prison, should entitle q good
soldier to q better pension than two
dollars per month.
