Brothers who HAD Never Seen Each
Other Before.

From the Carrollton. lGa., D Free Press
Mr.. William Hilton, of Talladega.
Ala, was in our town last Sunday
visiting his brother, Mr.. John Hilton,
whom he had never seen. Before the
war a happy family lived few miles
south of Newman, Ga, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hilton, with a large family of chill
dren. William, the oldest son. OIL
unteered his services in the conted-
crate cause, was taken prisoner by
the federals and carried north. AZ
ter the war he wrote home to his pa
rents, but hearing nothing from them
he wrote to some of his old neigh
bors, aud learned that his father,
mother and four of their children
were dead and that the younger chill
dren had moved to some other conn
Try, as 10 trace of the surviving mem
bers of the family could be found.
William did not care to visit the old
home and remained north for some
time, drifting from place to place.
Finally his love for his native state
brought him to North Georgia,
where he married; from thence he
moved to.Talladega, Ala, where he
is now doing q prosperous lumber
business He seems to be specially
attached to his brother Polk, whom
he left at home a little boy when the
war comm need. He has never
ceased writing letters of inquiry and
has time and again visited different
parts of the United States to lind a
Polk Hilton, who, when found, did
not prove to be his brother. Finally
he received letter few days ago
from Mr.. Wood, of Ieflin, Ala, stat
ing that his brother Polk was living
at Rockville, seven miles from Bow
den. Mr.. Hilton at once started for
Broekville, where he found his long
lost brother. AT Brockville he learn
ed of his brother John, who is clerk
ing In ourtown for j Il. Latimcr and
who was born while William was
forth. The brothers meeting was
indeed a happy one. William has
been thought dead for many years
by his brothers here.

Overstraining.

1t is great pity that few of the
newspapers of Texas-notably two of
them-have entered into a contest
from winch they are bound to emerge
with far less money than what they
entered 1t with. Both the Dallas
News and the Fort Worth Gazette
are overstrained by the evident pur-
pose 10 take the field, each from the
other. Both of these excellent jour
nails are sadly OVERRIDING it. Dallas
has less than twenty-five thousand
people, and Fort Worth has less than
twenty. Both papers equal the
best published in northern cities of
sixty thousand. Fort Worth has pa
per far better than any published in
Denver, and Denver has sixty-fve
thousand people. Her Sunday issue
ia far better than any issue OF the
Kansas City Times, and Kansas City
has not less than seventy thousand,
and has a large outlying population
dependent upon her for the news-a
far greater and keencr reading people.
Ifthc real legitimate newspaper pat
ronage OF both Fort Worth and Dallas
were thrown together, such a paper
as the Gazette of Sunday would
be too large. Added to all this
the rate received for advertising space
is far too small--far less indeed than
that which prevails IN either Denver
or Kansas City. Of course both the
Gazette and the News have plenty of
| money behind them if they SO choose
to use II. But we can see no true
wisdom in newspaper spending
thousands when only hundreds are re-
turned. The end is bound 10 come
at last, aud the ground lost In one
failure is far more than is gained by
years of time, and the hundreds of
thousands spent in the vain cndeavor
to "run the other fellow out" 1t
seems to US to be the true wisdom to
go on q paying basis. lfa communi-
ty or newspaper patronsge.will war
rant twenty-page, seven-column
paper give it. but lift win only pay
for al eight-column folio, give only
1t.
Now we don't believe either the
News or the Gazette can be estab-
iished on this scale. 1t is inevitably
only question of time when one or
both of them must go down. We
hazard nothing when we say that
there has not been $4,000 clear mon
ey made by the six leading papers OF
Texas in the last five years. Indeed
the most of them have lost money.
They have kept going bv putting in
money. Joint stock companies are
formed, and bled as long as the indi-
viduals will stand the drain. There
is sometimes local reason why the
money may be @put up" but after the
cause has ceased to exist the supply
is shut of and the paper shrinks into
u reasonable, or at least norma
size. The Gazette cannot have ovei
5000 daily subscribers. The New
perhaps as many more. We take tina

of Philadelphia and Miss Isabella Crow
ell, Il pretty twelve-year girl of llyan-
mis-, Mass were arrested on complaint of
r. b. Crowell of Brooklyn, an uncle of the

abducting his niece. The pair were taken
to the tombs police court where Justice

upon the feelings of Mr.. Crowell that he

him in his home in Brooklyn. This the
minister promised to do at an early date
Mr.. Crowell then took his niece to his
house, where she broke down ana offered
to confess everything.
According to the Brooklyn Eagle she
said she left her home in Hyanns ten
days ago, with money furnished her by
Archenfelder. The latter, although per
manently residing in Philadelphia, has for
a year or more been in charge of a church
at Hyannis. 1t was here six months ago
that he met Miss Crowell, and the lady's
story and condition leaves little doubt OF
the relations which existed between
them, Miss Croweil left her home
secretly ten days ago ana came
to New York, and registered ut the
Broadway hotel, In the meantime
her parents, vino are very wealthy, made
INQUIRIES in every direction, but could find
no clue to her whereabouts. They had
given her up for dead when word was re-
