Once upon time q certain man got
mad with the editor and stepped his pa
per. The next week he sold his corn at
four cents below the market price. Then
his property was sold for taxes, because
he didn't read the sheriff s sale. He was
arrested and fined 50 for going hunting
ON Sunday, simply because he didn't
know it was Sunday, and he paid So for
lot Of forged notes that had been adver-
tised two weeks and the public cautioned
not to negotiate for them. He then paid
big Irishman, with foot like forge
hammer, to kick him all the way to the
newspaper Office, where he paid four
years subscription in advance, and had
the editor sign an agreement to knock
him down and rob him if he ever ordered
his paper stopped again. Such is life
without newspaper.-N. Y. Neacs-

There is one tribunal over which high
or low license holds no immunity. We
respectfully submit the following, from
Rev. John Pierpont, to saloon-keepers
generally:
"Yes, you have license, and that is
your plea. Well, my friend. if that is
your plea, adjure you to keep it.; lock 1t
up among your choicest jewels, guard it
as the apple of your eye, and when you
die and are laid IN your coffin, be sure
that the precious document is placed
when you are called upon to confront the
souls of your victims before God. you
may be able to file in your plea of justifi-
cation, and boldly lay down your license
on the bar before the Judge. Yes, my
friend. keep it; you will then aoant your
license"
We do not think our saloon-keepers
are all bad men. Oh no,-and we expect
yet to see some of them ere long. give up,
and come up out of this disgraceful bust
ness, and, like men. earn for their fami
lies and themselves honest, honorable
livelihoods. And we will be among the
first TO give them hearty welcome.
Cant afford to advertise, it costs
too muchv So, so! Why don't you put
your goods into shed or a back street
because it costs something for a nice
store in the business part of the town;
use old dry goods boxes because you
cant afford to put in nice, attractive
counters; put up no signs, because signs
cost something; spend nothing for adyer-
Using your business because it 'costs too
much?' Then growl about hard times,
because people 60 to- those who do adj
vertse, instead of spending time to hunt
you up. No wonder you cant afford to
advertise when you don't let people know
where you are and what you have to sell!
And then your trade is so small that when
you do have customer, you are COM
PEELED to put larger margin on what he
wants or you cant afford to live.
Don't envy your enterprising neighbors
who advertise, when you see their stores
full of customers while yours is empty,
but wake up and 90 and do likewise

Journal, with regard to the recent Sun
day school convention in Austin As
DR.. Carroll is soon 10 give us another
lecture, we publish the following as cor
rect estimate of his first effort in Austin {:
At an early hour we repaired to the
new Opera house, where people were
crowding IN until o'clock. A sea of 500
or more upturned faces presented an ami.
mated study to the thoughtful onlook
er. very soon the orator of the evening
appeared Rev. Dr. Carroll of Saltwater,
who, being introduced. commenced to de-
liver one of the most impassioned, elo-
quent and graceful temperance orations
to which it has ever been our fortune to
listen. To compare it to most of the
stereotyped temperance harangues would
be like comparing Paginini or Ole Bull
to some bar-room scraper on an asthma
tic fiddle.
Dr. Carroll has delivered this lecture,
