Advertising the concho Country.

San Angelo Enterprise: The Con-
cho Valley fair will be what its name
indicates, an exhibit of the resources
agricultural, mineral, live stock-of
the Concho country. 1t is not a San
Angelo fair, or Tom Green county
fair, but fair of all that vast, rich
and attractive country extending from
the Texas and Pacific on the north to
the DEVILS river country on the south,
anu granite hills of Burnet and the
iron mountains of Llano to the Pecos
river. Every man and woman in this
broad sweep of country should use
every exertion to make the Concho
Valley fair a permanent success. 1t
will advertise this section to all the
world, aid in bringing both capitol
and labor to develop the manifold re-
sources of the fairest and richest por-
ton of the great state of Texas.

Gracefully Growing Old.

Temple Times: "Grow old grac G.
fully" has been repeated many times,
but we so seldom see an instance of
its accomplishment that when we do
there is an involuntry recurrence to
the phrase. Quite recently an old
lady came into our Office whose head
was white and the well chiseled lines
on her face spoke of troubles past,
while the smooth brow and general
bearing of the old lady in
Dictated that she had learned to
conquer her passions, and had grown
old gracefully. 1t is a matter of
pleasure to meet and converse with
those who have gone through a life's
if their faces are not dis
torted with lines of passion and their
voices harsh with growing. An old
lady or gentleman who has not be-
come soured with life, but, despite its
tolls and ills, has preserved the con-
Iidence of youth and added to it the
wariness of age is a comfort.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-08-22

WE see it suggested that martial
law is the remedy for the troubles in
Fort Bend county. We are, upon
principle, opposed to declaring martial
law except for extreme cases, and then
only where it will afford permanent
relief. Martial law for how long?
Until these animosities that have been
brewing for years are obliterated /;
until the present generation dies out
and the youngest children of those
who are engaged in these tragedies
have passed away? The only remedy
for this deep-seated trouble is dis
memherment of the county. Many
of the best citizens have long been in
favor of division of the county.
Divide it out between Wharton, Aus
tin and Harris, or between any two of
them if satisfactory compromise
cannot now be reached by the warning
factions.

wind up on. The only crop he and
his hired man had to cultivate was
his fifty acres of corn and his potatoes.
His oats and rye were planted late in
the fall or early in the spring.
This farmer lives better, works less,
owes less and is happier than any cot
ton planter we know of in Texas, and
is in a situation now to make from
$4,000 to $4,000 each year. Farming
as business pays and pays well.

History Of a Cotton Factory.

The history of the Trion Cotton
factory, of Chattanooga county, Ca.
speaks volumes for the south as the
coming manufacturing centre of this
country. Eleven years ago the mill
was destroyed by fire, and was rebuilt
by the present company, which then
had $250,OOO capital. Last week the
company published petition for an
amended charter allowing an increase
of its capital stock to $4,000. This
increase is to be made out of the
earnings of the mill. In addition to
this addition of $270,000 to the capt.
tai stock, $225,000 has been distrib-
uted in dividends, and many thous-
ands of dollars expeeded in improve
ments, such as brick store, a brick
gin house, new race, numerous dwell
lings for employees, etc.

GROWTH OF JUTE IN THE SOUTH.

A writer in the Sunny South has a
very interesting and pertinent article
on the above subject. He is evidently
practically familiar with all its details,
and asserts that jute, as well as tea,
can be successfully grown in any OF
the gulf states Indeed, he cites the
fact of farmers in Mississippi and
Georgia having already demonstrated
that fact. The question arises, there
fore, why is not jute grown in the
southern states the same as cotton
and corn? According to the Sunny
South writer, for the very sufficient
reason that it cannot be made
a paying business. And why? Be-
cause, he says, we have as yet in
vented no successful machinery for
the decortication of the plant, and if
we have to employ hand labor we can
not go into market and compete with
India and China. In those countries
hand labor can be had for few cents
a day, which is not the case here.
Hence, until a proper decorticating
machine is invented, jute cultivation
II the Gulf states cannot be made to
pay, the question of cheap labor be-
ing the leading problem here as it is
in the manufacturing situation in the
south. But that this difficulty will
eventually be overcome there is little
room to doubt, and both jute and
ramie will then become two of the
leading articles of commerce and ex-
portion from the southern states.

reason, to give at this time the military
history of the inmates of the Home.
We have stated the wants OF the Home in
financial way. but we want more, we
want the ex-Confederates of Texas to give
the Home and John B. Hood Camp the
benefit of their personal help.
Any Confederate in Texas can become a
member of John B. Hood Camp and thus
become an active manager and part owner
of the Home by complying with certain
easy conditions, which are to apply for
membership, pay 81 as initiation fee, and
monthly dues, which are fixed from time
to time by the Camp, but which shall never
exceed twenty-five cents per month.
"Come up and help u.s."
Yours respectfully,
FRED CARLETON,
Commander John B. Hood Camp.

Hear the Royal Proclamation.

Fort Worth Gazette: The people
OF Texas should hear the railroads,
and the only way to hear the roads is
through committee appointed by
the state, representing the state and
backed by the power of the state.
The interests Of the public demand a
null and complete statement of all the
facts connected with this railroad
question. Justice to the roads and
justice to the people demand all the
information attainable, and only
through state committee can such
information be obtained.

The Gospel Trumpet Heard.

Waco Day: In one of Maj. PENIS
sermons at McGregor, speaking on
the second coming of Christ, he said
that great many people would be
missing on that day-husbands look
ing for wives, wives looking for hus-
bands; fathers for sons and sons for
fathers-and the big dailies of Texas
will come out with startling headlines
reporting scenes such as had never be-
fore been witnessed. The major is
right-the newspapers will be equal to
the occasion.

MINERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE
STATE.

STATE.
A quarter of a generation ago the
assertions of few far seeing men OF
the probability of vast mineral de-
posts under the surface of our state
were regarded as guesswork if not ac'
tually visionary. Now, however
the mineral wealth of Texas has been
demonstrated beyond the shadow OF a
doubt. Not only demonstrated, but
the ores that lie locked up in our
hills are being worked and manufac.
tured into articles of commerce. Upon
the iron ore of east Texas the city OF
New Birmingham is rising out of the
woods and forests of Cherokee county
Under the magic touch of capital the
iron fields of Llano will soon enrich
the people Of that section. The coal
mines in Erath county are being
developed and worked by company
of capitalists on the same style and in
the same manner as those which have
built up great and populous cities in
Pennsylvania and Alabama, and give
employment to thousands of laborers'
The coal mines about Laredo
are on the same order, and let
us remember, these are merely a be-
ginning. The geological survey of the
state now inprogress, shows coal belt,
whose measures are vast and mex
haustible, stretching from Red river,
above Denison, across the state to
Laredo. This belt is destined to be-
come a mining as well as agricultural
and stock region and thus add
to the population, wealth and
greatness of our giant young
state. Then, again, the researches
of State Geologist Dumble and
his assistant, Prof. Streeruwitz, show
there is plenty OF silver hldden IN the
of Ell Paso and the west,
where shafts have already been sunk
for obtaining the precious metal.
Latterly gold in unmistakable quartz
has been discovered in the same re-
gion. Those who spoke and wrote of
the mineral treasures of Texas thirty
years ago, may have been guilty of
guess work only. Yet their dreams of
coal, iron and silver within our bor-
ders have been more than realized,
and the developments of the next
quarter of century may exceed the
widest imaginings of the early set
tiers and pioneers of Texas.

TO HON. MARION MARTIN

Return, O wand'rer, now returnI
And seek thy party's face;
Those old desires which in thee burn,
Were kindled by its grace.
Return, o wand'rer, now return!
We hear thy humble sigh
We see thy soften'd spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
Return, 0 wand'rer, now return!
Thy party bids thee live;
Go to its feet, and grateful learn
How freely it'll forgive.
Return, o wand'rer, now returnl
And wipe the falling tear;
Thy party calls, no longer mourn,
IT'S love invites thee near.
