Store, a. Stert proprietor, No. 206 Main
street, who has lately located in tho
city. Mr.. Stert came into tho State
about four months ago and aitor, visit
Ing tho principle cities, decided that
Fort Worth had tie most promising
future, and he backed his opinion by
his action. for he has jast returned to
the city from New York wnere he has
purchased tho most complete
line OF guns, pistols, pocket
cutlery, hunting suits, etc., that has
oV6r been brought to this city. Mr..
Ssert Is a gentleman of strict business
Integrity, honorable in all his deal

that tho gentleman knows his busi-
ness, and has exhibited excellent
taste and judgment in purchasing his
stock of goods. The Texas Gun Store
is q permanent institution. The pro-
prietor bought his goods for cash, and
will give his customers the benefit of
large Rates of interest others pay who
do not buy Tor cash.

Shortly after the advertisement was printed, old Stephen Hannifan made his appear. ance, bringing several large chickens, which he sold at . fair price. Shortly afterwards, he brought several more.

Lafayette Milton, the former captain of band of Clay county Ku-Klnx, was hanged in Arkansaw last week. He had only attaiped the age of twenty-three years, but he had made such industrious use of himself that he was very promi. nent af the time of his death. At one oi his war councils, in 1881, it was decided that well known man in the neighbor- hood should die, mainly because he had lived long enough. Captain Milton and a chosen lieutenant executed the design. As the time of the laws vengeance drew near, he began to % through with the conventionalities incident upon such oc- casiona He ate heartily of breakfast.

An Indiana exchange says that las, year, in a certain locality of that state, gapes prevailed to such an extent among chickens that, becoming epidemic, the disease was taken by the people.

"The two handsome and ac. complished daughters of Colonel Hallium have the gspes. Miss Pearl only gapes occasionally, but Miss Lucy has hes mouth open nearly all the time. During services at Red Fork church last Sunday it was thought that the entire congre- gation had been attacked, and much anxiety was felt, but at the conclusion of the sermon all evidences of the disease passed away. It is hoped that our physi- clans will succeed in curing the people. Later. Old man Ambrose Potter has been attacked"

A scientist has discovered the nervous system of the sponge. This is important, for the abused animal will now receive attention at the hands of Mr. Bergh. The following newspaper paragraph, or rather one similar to it, may soon appear in a New York paper: The foreman of an uptown job printing office was yesterday arrested for abusing sponge. It was proved that the animal had not only been sadly neglected, but that the foreman had allowed 1t to fall on the floor where 1t had been trod upon by a tramp printer. Mir. Bergh, in speaking to re- porter, said: Such cruel outrages shock civilization. How can we prosper as a people if we are SO reckless of the feeling of animals2 To-day, while walking along Broadway, saw that druggist had 2 number of sponges closely confined in a kind of wire cage.
