speaker had applied himself

was followed by DR.. Reeves, who oc-

OF lumber have crossed the Paluxy
into Glen Rose and vicinity the present
week, from Walnut Springs ana Nor

crossed the Brazos the present week,

in town, and the farmers are forced ut

The crops in this vicinity and all

Squaw creek and Paluxy are simply
enormous in yield, and the uplands
are scarcely less luxuriant. The truth
is, this Is the garden spot of Texas for
the agriculturist, while the rich
abundance OF its never-failing streams
and flowing mineral and ireestone
water from tho numerous artesian
wells, makes it most attractive and
loveable location tor homes, health
and pleasure.
The town is pretty well filled with
summer visitors, but hundreds are de-
TERED from coming on account OF the
meagerness of accommodations. We
have the best feeders in tho State, but
limited house room.

A LOST LOVE

by CLARA j. BARKER, GALVESTON, TEXAS,
FOR THE HERALD.
The Virgin moon with timid hands
Unmoors her silvery boat;
And Inexperienced to command
Loves near the earth to float,
Each night she tries the gentle gale,
And plies her sllvery oar;
Each night she spreads broader sail,
And further leaves the shore
How boldly through the azure sen
Her little bark she guides;
Before tho gentle breeze how free
Aud CALAMITY she ridesl
Now half her heavenly Journey through
Each sail is flung amaln;
The prize she seeks through heavens blue
lffound-to lose again
And steering gently for the shore,
Where first shs sought the gale,
With hands Gs tImid as before,
She furls her snowy sail.
Thus Hope unmoors her fragile boat,
And boldly tempts the main;
Winning the daring height she sought,
To fall TO earth again
SO Love, yet bO,der, leaves the shore,
And fearless, sails the sea;
with flowing sheet and plying oar
She courses gallantly.
Bravely She leaves him the prize,
Nor sooner is II won,
Than as the moon wanes In the skies,
Love, love, alas is gone.

Butter.

EDITOR DAILY Honolulu Press
SIR In your issue Of to-day the
public are treated to an opinion on the
butter supply of this market that calls
for reply. The writer's endorse
ment of your local in Mondays issue
necessitates an allusion to that article
also. Itwould crafty the public gen.
orally and the writer OF thisarticle par
ticularly, to know the name Of the
merchant on ''Hotel street" who can
not get his buyers to send him first
class butter from San Francisco, who
only gets inferior butter IN tins,
and SO must fall back on Island butter.
Perhaps he expects it too cheap,
and his buyers send the kind and
the price ofbutter he orders certainly,
il he will pay the price he can get the
best. But your endorser says the
California butter we get is of very
"inferior" kind, in fact, so inferior that a
great part is not butter at all but
"Oleomargarine," and poor quality
at that would like to ask this oracle
where he buys his butter, and fhe pays
his butter bills promptly, and that if he
did not omit his surname--he should
have signed himself one HHo Knows
Nothing. "
In conclusion, | will give him
chance to prove his statement as to
Oleomargarine being palmed off on
the public as butter, in the following
manner l will submit the names Of
say five grocery houses in Honolulu,
and agree that roll of butter shall be
furnished by each and placed in the
hands Of a competent chemist in Homo
lulu for analysis" If any one proves
to be Oleomargarine l will pay for the
butter and the analysis, and if none
proves to be Oleomargarine, then, One
Who Knows () is to pay for the analysis
and butter, and apologize for his unfair
attack on the groceries Of Honolulu.

answer to the personal attack Of the
