NEWSPAPERS.

Abilene's newspapers do her cred
it, and that is saying great deal.
The REFLECTOR, as will be seen from
the present number, possesses all the
attributes of a daisy. 1t began dis
seminating the gospel of democracy
in August, 1883, and notwithstand
ing the lugubrious predictions as to
its future, it is still on deck and a
great deal larger and stronger than
when it started. Its success has been
remarkable. The Gazette and
Chronicle are old established papers
the former being conducted by V.P.
Wilson & Sons, and the latter by J.
W. Hart, all the gentlemen named
being veteran newspaper men. The
two papers are well edited and enjoy
a large and deserved patronage. In
all but political sense, for we think
their politics bad, the REFLECTOR
hopes that its esteemed contempor
aries may Give long and prosper"

elusive stock of boots and shoes are at

take the lead of all the places of the
kind in the city. Call at the Opera
House Parlor Boot and Shoe store and
see how nice everything is, and learn
OF the bargains you may get there. Mr.
Rohrer is also proprietor of a cigar
and tobacco store, which does large
retail and jobbing trade. He owns

know that deep within your heart of hearts
You hold me shrined apart from common
things.
gladHess that no other presence brings.
And yet dear love, through all the weary DAYS
You never speak one word Of tenderness,
Nor stroke my hair. nor softly close my hand
Within your own, in loving, mute cares.
You think. perhaps, 1 should be all content
To know 50 well the loving place hold
Within your lite, and so you do not dream
How much long to hear the story told
You cannot know when we two sit alone.
And tranquil thoughts within your mind are
stirred.
Ny heart is crying like a tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, loving word.
II may be when your eyes look into mine
You only say, How dear she is to me p
Oh. could ! read it in the softened glance
How radiant this plain old world would be
Perhaps. sometimes, you breathe secret prayer
Thst choicest blessings unto me be given,
But II you said aloud, . God bless thee, dear p
should not ask greater boon from heaven.

Several years ago the spring openings de
cided the bCnnets for the season. Now
there are changes made with the presto of
a wizard wand for each month. The
latest pretty fancy is for the basket hats
made Of plant rushes into graceful shapes
and raaiantB picturesque with wild flowers,
ferns, burd0ch burs, clover, wild parsnips,

roses. Lace straws are also just introduced,

gable roof front, and above the towering
crowns rises the pyramidal loops Of ribbon
