of Interest.


LUBBOCK HAS A PAIR.
The Austin Record says Frank Lubbock
is not one-legged. All right, we are glad
to hear this, as he Is still more able to
guard over the state treasury Blanco

NOT A SINGLE MEMFETo.
| Sull Ross seems to have been
the only soldier that enlisted
from Texas. He seeded, opened
the fight and went all through the
war without scratch. II would seem
that the man that did all the lighting for
a big state like this might have left the
Yankees one of his fingers to remember
him by. Gainesville Advauce.Sun.
DIFFERING FROM IRELAND.
Gov. Ireland seems to think that the
Eight TO declare war is one inherent In
Texas. He ought to know, but we were
under the impression that congress, alone,
could exercise that power Ballinger

WORTHY RIVALRY.
Prof, Hobbs, in pursuing the arts of
peace, seems to have riyaled his neigh
Dor, j. W. Dickson. Like his neighbor,
it is a girl and weighs ~ lbs instead of

as can be under the circumstances. They
have our hearty congratulations -T Bios.

CUTTING Is NO MORMON.
A. X Cutting il new spaper man of
fair reputation and ability. The reports
going the rounds that he is reprobate
having three living wives is without the
slightest foundation, The government
some month ago demanded Cuttings r.
lease. The Mexican government has
hftly refused to comply. What will the
ending beP--I Abilene Reporter.
TEMPLES MoDEsTY.
The town OF Temple is certainly mod
ell OF complete modesty. In fact, its citi-
zens would certainly blush to see one of
their toes. The city council passed an
ordinance making II misdemeanor for
ony woman to walk on any street, side
walk or alley of the town appareled Ia
loose Mother Hubbard garment. 1t is
now in order for them to pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting men from going In their
shirt sleeves Bonham News.
MORE SCARED THAN HURT.
The blessed rain has washed away the
gloom that made the situation appear
much worse than 1t really is. One little
drought cannot bankrupt country with
such resources and recuperatlye powers
as this has. In few months the drought
will be forgotten, and people will be snr.

hours. That cooler should oe "labeled -

THE COLONIES ARE READY.
The Mexican trouble has stirred to the
uttermost depths the old war spirit In
the oosoms OF Texans, and more than a
thousand have notified Gov. Ireland that
they stand ready at any time to command
regiments to fight the bold, bad men
across the Rio Grande. With thousand
volunteer colonies already IN the field ii
is hoped that an equal number of privates
can be raised.-- Hillsboro Mirror.
