What Texas Needs.
For the Fax Pass,

One Of tho needs Of Texas at tiIls
time, in our opinion is, o we'll organi-
zed State Society, for tho proven
ton OF cruelty 10 animals,
It is quito possible, that tho people
Of this great South West, may not
think thoy isdat such society, but n
period OF moro than half year large
ly spent in travelling from point to
point in the state, has convinced us
that such IN organization is needed.
In this lower stage of existence, there
is often marked difference between
oar needs and Grants, or desires,
Most people who have reached ma
turo life, have seen this illustrated
many times and undor various circum'
stances.
These societies, OF which we speak,
have operated admirably in our North
ern States, and have proven q bless
ing to helpless animals, and helpless,
or oppressed humanity.
One or two agents are appointed
in every town, whose duty it is to re.
ceive complaints, look into grievances
and relieve suffering. These agents
making their report to the head officer
of the state. Tho society being in
corporated by the state, with power
to act in all cases, demanding their
interference.
We fancy that wo would not hear
of SO many cattle starving, 80 many
sheep dying from exposure, horses
over ridden and killed and, (shame
that it must be saidD hear of meek
women beaten and abused by their
worse than brutes of husbands, and
little children, suffering from cruel
treatment ut their drunken fathers
hands!
We hope these last cases are OF
rare occurrence; but we have heard
this thing vouched for by those who
know.
We remember in our own small
New England state, of examples COM
ing to light by tho investigation OF
the Human Society;-where decrepid
helpless old people, have been res,
cued from the abuses of their chill
dren, of domestic animals 30 cruelty
treated, that they have been put out
of their misery by the agents OF the
Society.
Such ar organization marks an era
of moral Gdvancogo-t is tie
means of doing incnrasl.nlo good
not only by tho misery from which it
saves human beings and brutes, but
by tho moral atmosphere which it
creates, and tho education that it is
to the young.
The vast herds of cattle and horses
and the immense focks Of sheep
raised here in Texas has natural
tendency to cheaper animal life, and
make the owners more or less regard
less of their comfort, even if their
gains do depend upon the thriving OF
their stock. A few dozen more or
less, cruelty destroyed in herds OF
thousands seems of little consequence.
Yet it is just so much unnecessary
cruelty and misery, and ought not to
be. MARY G. BILLINGS.

Yesterday, and for several days past,
rumorS We're current on the streets that
a wealthy stock company, with the Flor
ida Southern Railway Company at the
head, had purchased the Putnam House
lot, and would erect a magnificent hotel
on it in time for next springs business.
On investigating the rumo1s, our repor-
ter found that snch purchase had been
made, and that it was the intention of
the company to erect hotel, but the
pal ticulars and plans of the building had
not yet been arranged. The new owners
Of the lot are amply able to erect a BALD
ing second to pone in the state, and as
the Florida Southern never does things
by halves we may expect a hotel in
keeping with the requirements of rapid
ly growing Palatka.
Verify, when this building gets well
under way, the Gem City will boom as
it never doomed before. Indeed, with
the vast improvements being made by
our own citizens, the location of the J.,
L. g. X. w. shops at this point, the pro-
bable location of the Blaine Brothers car
shops, the talked of establishment of sew
eral exclusively wholesale houses, the
hotels we already have and the almost
positive assurance that the old Putnam
will be rebuilt on a grand scale immedi
| ately. the Gem City bids fair to maintain
her lead as the most prosperous and en-
terprising city in the state.
