We take this opportunity to expfS
our gratitude and thanks for your gener-
Gus patronage, extending over the past
twelve years. We think that we have
acted honOraby and consistently, and as
an evidence of this fact, point with pride
to our constantly increasing trade. Our
- aim has been to give value received. Our
PHOSPHATE has come in competition
with almost every brand made in the
United States, and it now occupies no
second place. Though its packages are
marked with nothing but plain stencil
plate, because we always believed true
merit its own establishment yet in the
favor of farmers our PHOSPHATE out
ranks that sold under CANDY trademarks
and startling devices. Gorgeous pic
lures are Of no value to land.
Our trade has grown to large proper
tiOns, taxing our utmost to supply all
demands. At our Milford and Balti-
mere factories we are now putting out
100 tons per day. Yet notwithstanding
this heavy trade, we intend to greatly in
crease it from year to year by giving
nothing but the best goods
We pay chemist to test all our crude
phosphate materials, and so the farmer
gets the benefit of all these tests, and we
know just what we are selling. The
analysis of the bone, potash, acid, tank
ing, ETC., sold by us may be seen by any
farmer who makes application
The following named substantial and
reliable citizens are among our yearly
patrons and are those who have grown
by the use of our PHOSPHATE from
25 to 45 bushels of wheat per acre:

No disease which does not cOiine a
man to his bed so completely units him
for business as dyspepsia. When the
stomach is foul. the brain is always
muddy and confused, and as the cares
and anXieties of life are II sufficient bur
den for the organs Of thought to bear,
without being tormented by the mis-
cries born OF Indigestion. 1t Is highly de-
sirable for the brains sake, as well aH
for the sake of every other portion OF
the system, that the disordered stomach
should be restored with the utmost dis
patch to Il healthy, vigorous condition.
This object can always be accomplished
by course OF IIostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the purest and best of vegetable
specifics, which evaouates the morbid
humors through the bowels, rouses and
tones the torpid stomach and regulates
the liver, imparts irmness to the nerves
and clears the sensorium OF Its mental
cobwebs. Persons subject to attacks Of
indigestion, bilious headache, Irregular
ity of the bowels, sickness of the stom'
aCh, or "the blues" should take the Bit
tiers once or twice day throughout the
present season,

Mndemoiselle Rhea.

In connection with the report that
Rhea. the little Belgian actress who has
captured the American heart, Is going to
marry Senator Wade Hampton, of south
Carolina, comes the story, told by her
friends. which contradiCts the impress
sion that she is to become the wife OF an
American Senator. When sixteen years
old Rhea had the first and only romance
OF her life. which was passionate real
ity and Ia still buried in her heart. She
loved countryman of hers, still young,
though ten years older than the girl just
budding into womanhood. She had
known him from childhood, and they had
grown up together rs brother and sister.
She used to spend her holidays with his
family, and then there came time when
affection changed into love, and after
one year of ideal happiness In oontem-
plating blissful union, he died Mt the
age oftwenty-seven. A cloud fell across
the path of the ardent girl. She vowed
then that she would never marry. That
vow she has kept and intends to keep,
notwithstanding the wOoing Of Sen
ator. Her heart IL buried with the
dead.

Total appropriation to date sM0,OOO
This amount has been expended in
protecting the head Of Mustang island
and in building the south jetty accord
ing TO the specifications of the engi-
neers. When Colonel Mansfield began
this work there was only five feet of
water on the bar. 1t had nearly entire
ly filed up, and the Morgan steamers
had ceased to make their trips to Aran-
aas. In ISL the channel had been I'm
proved by the government work to eight
feet, which enabled the Morgan steamer
to resume Its trips to Corpus Christi
and Rockport. To-day with the total
expenditure of S3sO,OOO by the govern
ment, II permanent channel has been Sc
cured on the bar with depth Of / feet
at mean low tide and Ia feet at full
summer tide. Nearly the desired depth
has been obtained on $50, $50 less than
was estimated for the south lefty and
| the protection of the Mustang island.
For the amount Of money expended the
work is in an advanced state and in ex-
| cellent condition. When we remember
that the actual expenditures to conplete
government works of any kind are
usually largely in excess Of the original
estimate, this showing is doubly fatter-
ing. 1t Ia evidence that the work has
been done faithfully, economically and
well. Since 1850 good channel has
