IT is now generally believed that MA
SONS cotton picker will prove "A success.
The trials made last fall were not entirely
satisfactory, but improvements have
boon effected which it is thought will
overcome all the difficulties heretofore
experienced. 1t is said one man and two
mules can do the work of fifty cotton
pickers, and it gathers the cotton as clean
as by hand and leaves none remaining
ontheplant, Should this machine accom-
plish all that isclaimed for it, cotton can
be grown torabout onc-half what it costs
| to produce il now.

If the Gazette wants something easy
to answer, let it discuss the article writ
ten from Fort Worth published on the
seventh page of Sundays HERALD.
Then ruminate over the article in
Mondays paper from the Honey Grove
Independent. After these are satisfac-
torily explained away, the HERALD will
administer to its relief another pill from
the same box. Its case is desperate and
the remedies are probably distasteful.
The HERALD possibly can save it, but in
crippled condition.

A FEW years ago cotton seed was Of
little value to the planter. \ small
quantity was fed to stock, but the great
bulk was used for manuring lands. Now
there are oighty-tive cotton-seed oil
mills in the country, consuming 100000
tons Of seed, which yielded 100000 bar
res Of oil. In few years every pound
Of seed will be consumed by mills.

THE free grass organs seem to think
that no other portion OF The state but

for other portions Of the State are grow

that is preposterous; but shall the law
remain as II is or an increase Of rental be

WHY HE REFORMED.

There was drunkard in Arkansas
who became a sober man through a
kind Providence granting him what
Burns longed for:
sob, wad seine power the gifte gle us,
To see oursels as ithers see us.'
One day several acquaintance, on
asking him to drink, were surprised
to hear him say, "You must excuse
me, gentlemen, for l can't drink any
thing" To their question, "What
is the matter with your" he said:
.'I'll tell you. The other day !
met a party of friends. When l left
them l was about half-drunk. ]
would not have stopped at this, but
my friends had to hurry away tc
catch train.
To man of my temperament, to
be half-drunk is miserable condi
ton, for the desire for more is 81
strong that he forgets his self-respec
in his efforts to get more to drink.
Failing at the saloons, / remem
bered that there was a half-pint o
whiskey at home, which had beer
purchased for medicinal purposes.
Just before reaching the gate
heard voices in the garden, and look
ing over the fence saw my littl
son and daughter playing. 'No
you be ma" said the boy, "and L
be pa. Now you sit here an L

He took bottle, ran away, and
filled it with water. Pretty soon he
returned and entering the playhouse,
nodded idiotically at his little girl,
and sat down without saying any
thing. Then the girl looked up from
her work and said,-
flames, why will you do this
way?"
"Whizzer way?" he replied.
"Gettin' drunk"
'sWho's drunk?''
"You are, an you promised when
the baby died that you wouldn't
drink any more. The children are
almost ragged, an we haven't any,
thing to eat hardly, but you still
throw your money away. Don't you
know you are breaking my hearth"
l hurried away. The acting was
too life-like. / could think of moth
ing all day but those little children
playing in the garden, and | vowed
that | would never take another
drink, and | will not, so help me,

THE DRINK CURSE.


"'The appetite for strong drink in
man has spoiled the lives of more
women-ruined more hopes for them,
scattered more fortunes for them,
brought to them more sorrow, shame,
and hardshlp-than any other evil
that lives. The country numbers
tens, nay, hundreds of thousands of
women who are widows to-day, and
sit in hopeless weeds because their
husbands have been slain by strong
drink. There are thousands of
homes scattered over the land in
which wives live lives of torture, 60
ing through all the changes of suffer-
ing that lie between the extremes of
fear and despair, because those whom
they love love wine better than they
do the women they have sworn to
love. There are women by thous-
ands who dread to hear at the door
the step that once filed them with
pleasure, because that step has
| learned to reel under the influence of
the seductive poison. There are
women grooming Mith pain while we
write these words, from bruises and
brutalities inflicted by husbands made
mad by drink. There can be no eX-
aggeration in any statement in re-
gard to this matter, because no hui
man imagination can create anything
worse than the truth, and no pen is
capable of portraying the truth. The
SORROWS and horrors of wife with a
drunken husband or mother with a
drunken son, are as near the realiza-
ton Of hell as can be reached in this
world, at least. The shame, the
indignation, the sorrow, and the
sense of disgrace for herself and her
children, the poverty, and not unfre-
quently the beggary, the fear and the
fact of violence, the lingering, life
long struggle and despair of count
less women with drunken husbands,
are enough to make all women curse
wine and engage unitedly to oppose
it everywhere, as the worst enemy of
their sex"

A consciousness of integrity gives
moral strength; an erect man can
carry heavier load than one who
stoops, and an upright man has a
strength which those who have bowed
down to false gods know nothing of.
A hollow heart makes a feeble hand
Whenever we try to persuade our
selves that wrong is right, that duty
is unimportant, that the thing we wish
to do we may do, even though it may
be forbidden of God, we may bewil-
der our conscience, and blind our
eyes, and drift away from the path
of Gods providence and our own
duty but we are laying up sorrow for
ourselves. And when the days shall
come that will demand all our cour-
age, fortitude and faith, we shall find
that we have cut the slnews of our
strength and done ourselves an inju-
ny which we are powerless to repair.
If | can touch a key that in the far
off courts of heaven will awaken the
joy of saints and angels and of Christ,
] shall not have preached in vain.
Was there ever wider mission grant
ed to man? | may not discover a
continent, and lay it at my country s
feet, or conquer a province, CT write
a battle hymn that the nations will

COPS WAY.-God has many q
Wartburg for his people. He seems
to beset them behind and before with
his friendly banditti of trouble or dis
appointment, and bears them away
into silence and solitude, and perhaps
suffering. 1t looks to them, as with
Job, as if their purposes were broken
off, and perhaps their life a failure.
But their gracious Sovereign, to
whom the cause is as dear as to them
selves, has done this. He has hidden
them il his pavilion for season till
some danger, perhaps unseen by
them, is overpast. He has secreted
them IN his tabernacle. that they may
learn more intimately the secret of
the Lord and abide under the shad-
ow of the Almighty. He has resorted
to system of compulsory education.
He has forced them out of self
chosen path into one which, if they
will humbly and diligently inquire his
will, shall not only not suspend theil
.susefulness," but shall crown and
supplement- their service Of the Mas
ter.
