TRENTON, TEXAS, Mar. S, 1889.
EDITOR STANDARD: Trenton is a

tants, on the NJ. X. g. 7. Railroad.
Our marshall had three of his fin
gers shot off last Sunday.
Bill McAfee killed a large wolf
Sunday evening.
Mat Peeler and Joe Grundy had a

Bud Burns and Charley Sanders

The local produce market has un-
dergone very little change for several
weeks, making it hardly necessary to
change quotations. Eggs are still in
excess Of the demand, and prices are
rather tending lower. The winter
has been very favorable and the hens
have improved the opportunity.
Shippers have handled the egg pro-
duct so far for very little profit.
Dried fruit has made no improve
ment as the season advanced. Green
apples are still in excess of the de-
mand, but are moving more freely.
Poultry is in good demand at reason

The tone of the general market was
quiet, though in most staple goods
prices are held firm. All staple gro
ceries are very firm except -four. SUI
CARS are tending upward. Coffee is
very firm. Owing to the fact that
one of our leading local mills has
kicked itself out of the recently Or
ganized Millers' Association there is
a cut in -four with our millers, and
values as quoted are nominal. How
long this will continue no one knows

A Remarkable Cyclone Relic.

E. S. Wilson, blacksmith Of Ozark,
Mo-, has relic Of the Marshfield cyclone,
which occurred on Sunday, April IS,
$780, that is q very remarkable curiosity.
The witness OF one of the freaks of the
great storm is black quart bottle, bent
by some mysterious force into an ellipse
without crack or break in the glass
that the closest scrutiny can discover.
The neck of the bottle actually touches
the edge Of the bottom, and the fact that
the glass was not broken in any way by
the strange force of the storm is shown
by the test of its holding water or any
other fluid. By gradually turning the
bottle as the water is poured in, it can be
nearly filled to its full capacity, so as to
show the perfect soundness of the mate
rial. This bottle was found by Mr.. VIII
son the day after the Marshfield disaster
and examined by Prof. Tice, who soon
came TO the scene of destruction to study
the phenomena of the cyclone from a
scientific standpoint. The famous mete-
orologist attributed the bending of the
bottle to the force of electricity. The
bottle was found in the wreck of one of the
Marshfeld drug-stores. Mr.. Wilson has
been offered extravaganza prices for the
curiosity, but declines to part with the
relic.-St. Louis GL05e-Dcm0crat.

Let s. 'liven it by tune and song,
And greeting give to all we pass;
To white-of-head, to light-of-head,
To nlatron grave and laughing lass.

For friends we greet, for foes we meet,
Along the worlds broad highway!

Who dreams OF crime and guilt and wrong:
Yon youngiing and his violet eyes,
Nay, ight-of-nind and love-so-blind
Are wisdom-proof and folly wise.

For distant path and nigh way,
For friends we greet, for foes we meet,
Along the worlds broad highway!

Dream drinking ere we lose the power,
And all our pleasure disappears,
Since slight-of heart and bight-of-hcart
Have sworn the goblet smacks of tears.
Hurrah Of lane and by-way,
For distant path and nigh way,
For 1FIendS we greet, IOf lO3S we meet,
Along the worlds broad highway
lis night and low; foul thieves have moboeG
The weak ores here and left them robbed
Of hope, and faith, and love, and rest;
But sure-of-scul and pure-of-soul
Still fold their treasures to their breast.
