that some persons are curious to know
whether any Waco man had cheek

A Song of Gratitude.

In olden times, Bethesdas pool
Was famed for healing all diseases;
Once plunged beneath its waters cool
Each evil, stain and sickness ceases.
In modern days we find euTe,.
OF worth as rare, as much deserving;
A remedy safe, quick and sure,
Dr.. Riohmond's SAMARITAN NERvINE.
For Epilepsy, Spssms, Fevers, Colics, Cram ps,
Coughs, Colds, or any kind of Phthysic;
Its merit as a leader stamps
1t far above all other physics,
1t goes at once right TO tia spot
Whore turks tho danger, never swervinR;
In all the world perhaps there's not
A cure like Dr.. Richmond's NERvIrE.
A - the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein, each curve in;
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly,
Like the SAMARITAN NERvINE.
For old or young, for rich or poor,
Whatever class of life you serve in,
To health wide open is the door,
From the SAMARTTAE NERvIEE.
Then. do you value strength and health,
And think these blessings worth preserving,
Better than all Golconda's wealth,

Farmers are nearly done har-
vesting their crops in this section.
Corn and cotton have both yielded
better than was generally expected.
Good prices now for what we have
to sell would greatly alleviate the
financial pressure that has been tell
ing so heavily upon us for some
time. Trade of nearly every kind
remains very dull. The cattle traf-
ic here has nearly died out. Men
seem to be afraid to venture even to
small extent. There is nothing
like the usual acreage of wheat
sewn in this section this year. The
repeated failures of the wheat crop
has had a discoHraging effect upon
the farmers of this section which
accounts for the small amount sown
this year.

Nnnna Haa Refnsad 10 Pledge.

Several papers continue to assert
that the papers that disagree with
the American are independents.
The Troy New Era commits this err
ror. 1t assumes another error in
order to condemn 1t in asserting
''they refuse to pledge themselves
to abide by the action of the con-
Vention." Who has refused2 The
convention has not acted yet. Some
papers refuse to abide the action of
the American. They refuse to let
the American be the whole party,
platform and all, and make any
kind of crazy-quilt platform it
pleases. We have never seen one
of them refuse to abide the action
of the convention. Indeed, they
could not yet. There is no one
with authority to put the conun-
drum. This all grew out of the in
solent assumption of the American
in demanding that democrats shall
subscribe to and swear to support
what it pleases to call democracy.
We know it doesn't put it in these
terms, but it lays down what is and
what is not democracy and if the
convention doesn't adopt its ideas
it read will it out of the party too.
Show a single instance, from Presi-
dent Cleveland down through Gen.
Atkins, Senator Jackson, Represen-
tative Classic the least of all of us,
where the American has failed to
estracise and read out the men who
disagreed with it, and we'll surren-
der the point. The Americans is
insolently and outrageously desrot-
ic, and it is against it that decent
democrats kick.
