Coming to Texas.

They are coming from the des-
erts Of the dim and dusty East,
where to raise a stunted turnip IS
the prospect of feast, where the
I farms are made of gravel and they
with dynamite where the festive
chattel mortgage sings It's dirge
by day and night, they are coming
on the train, they are coming from
the regions where they struggle
long in vain; they are coming from
tie cabin; they are coming from
the hall, they are coming down to
Texas where there's plenty for
them all. They are coming from
the Southland, they are coming
from the North; from the valleys
and mountains they in droyes
/ are coming forth; they are coming
with their husbands, they are COM
ing with their hammers, with their
needles and their knives; with
their harrows and their planters
and their pencils and their guns;
they are coming with their fathers
and their mothers and their sons.
They are coming stoutand slender,
they are coming short and tall;
they are coming now to Texas
where there's plenty for them all;
where you needn't dig potatoes
with a sabre or a dirk, where, when
rain is badly needed, then the rain
gets in its work, where the rivers
mourn murmur on their journey
to the sea, where the breezes tackle
corn stalks, big as fence posts on
the lea, where the savage lately
wandered in search Of human hair,
with his hoarse and bowling war
cry hoated on the air; where a hun
bred braves would answer to the
ehieftain 5 battle call; they are
coming still to Texas, where there's
plenty for them all. Where the
savage used to wander yearning
for a crop Of hair, now the farmer
takes his porkers to the nearest
county fair, and the corn is gaily
growing where the greasy wig
vans stood; where he burned the
wailing captive now the poultry
scratch for food; and the people
who are coming to this pleasant
est Of elimes, show a happy knack
of keeping with the progress of the
times: they will find country
beaming from the spring time to
the fall, when they land in sunny
Texas where there's plenty for
them ALL Marshall Herald.

In a family row last Saturday
night, Ike Williams, colored, had
his head split open by Arthur Ham,
a half brother of Ike's wife. The
blow is said to have been inflicted
with a carpenters square or an old
cane knife. Ike Williams has been
lying in a critical condition ever
since, the doctors having had to
extract portion of his skull near
ly two inches in extent to relieve
the brain. The row is said to be
the result of a disagreement be-
tween Ike and his wife, who have
been living separately for some
time past.

Horn, on Thursday, July 8, 1883, MARY
F. HORN, nee Piggot who was born in
Columbus, Georgia, Dec. IL, 1874.
Sister Horn professed religion in 1863
and joined the Missionary Baptist church
in which she has lived consistent men,
her ever since. She was the mother OF
eleven children, three Of whom crossed
over and awaited her coming on that
glorious shore, Hers has been a life Of
christian piety and fortitude. that ena-
bled her to bear Affections with humble
submission, and kiss the Christening rod
of the Master, and say, "Thy will be
DONE" In her last illness she rejoiced
in the hope of Him who smoothes the
pillow of the dying christian. Her old
est son and three eldest daughters watch
ed by her bedside with filial devotion du-
ring the few days of her last illness. The
eldest daughter is a member Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and, though the
son and other two daughters are not men,
bers of any church, 1 think they stood
too near heaven when their mother was
entering to draw back, and will be con-
strained to accept their mothers religion
and be saved. Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord; and, husband, you sor-
row not as those who have no hope, and
when the trump of God shall awake those
who sleep in these Ozark hills, the wife
and mother will arise clothed in eternal
youth and beauty. R. M. II.

tits considered legitimate "game"
among some of our young men to
'lay" for the messengers dispatched
by others for ice cold beer or cider,
and then take the order from the
messenger and appropriate the
beverage to the cooling of their
own inwards. 1t is a very good
game, provided the other fellows
don't kick too much over the fun.
