The latest crusade against wine is q
queer one. 1t is led by ministers in New
York city, who are exercised over the
quality OF the grape juice sold to their
churches for communion purposes They
aver that the most Of it Is miserable,
''doctored stuff" not 1T to go down a
Christians throat. one minister, Rev.
DR., Taylor, pastor Il popular Presby-
terrain church on Broadway, invited his
congregation 20 test, last Sunday eve.

chemical and otherwise, and made some
very interesting demonstrations, fully
convincing the brethren that when they
Blended their knees at the communion
table they have been slpping some very
aretched decoctIons. OF course, a re-
form is proposed, and all the New York
pastors will be invited to Join in the
movement They will not institute prohl.
billion, Danish wine from the communion
table, but the sloppy stuff made by un.
scrupulous liquor dealers In this country
will be boycotted, and pure, uufermented
grape juice imported from England, where
the ministers are assured such an article
can be had. 1t is to be hoped this step
viii afford relief and remove all appre.
hension on the part OF those who touch
the communion cup. 1t appears TO be a
roundabout business, though, going to
England for unfermented wines, when the
grapes OF this country ought to furnish
all that could be desired in that line. The
ministers might hav~ the wine manufac-
tured by brethren who can be trusted
and furnished under solemn guarantee
Any movement looking to pure liquor,
even at the communion table, merits en-.
couTagement.

Eastern Texas has the representation but

does not even hint at gerrymandering in
the apportionment now in force, but the
figures show what every ordinarily intel

Texas has the lions share In representation
both as to congressional and legislative
districts, that the center of population
has moved west and that a great section

Farming Interests suffsr, While Stock In
tsrests Are In GOOD shape.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
MARfEHFKLD, Tx, Dec. l6.-Pulllng
against the stream may be well applied
to the farming interest OF our community
this fall. In October last our farmers
that could bought, begged and borrowed
all the wheat they could and sowed 1t on
purpose to get In a good fall crop, but
fate went against them and their wheat is
dried, out, as our county missed the fall
rains, so we were left to pull against the
stream. To-day some are pulling more
than they are able TO pull. We will have
TO depend on spring wheat, but there is
not bushel Of spring wheat in the coun-
ty. The question is with them how can
they can get 1t. Stock is doing well and
sheepmen boast OF their fat mutton, while
the csitlemen have plenty of fat beeves
for sale. So while the farming interest
suffers the stock interest Is in very good
shape for winter.
The town improvement IL at stand
still. Outside Of the college and board
ing school Of the Rev. p A. Pettus there
Is nothing doing. All the town site IN
sold has been sold conditlonally to a
large syndicate, and as soon as they take
hold Marienfeld Will bloom like the rose
The syndicate is composed of men with
money and enterprise and nothing will
daunt them in their march to progress
and prosperity. With the Arkansas Pass
a healthy climate. good lands
and the ve-y best water, we must con-
clude that Msrienfed will ere long be a
city read and known by all men.
