SAVE IOUR OWN BICON.
A word 10 the farmers:

A word to the farmers:
In these days OF unsatisfactory railway
rates it would be well for you TO ponder
plans that viii enable you to depend more
for sustenance upon what YOU raise at
home, So that you viii not be compelled
to pay so much tribute upon what you
buy ana what you sell.
one very simple and very saving way
for You TO help yourselves viii be found
in raising hogs enough to supply all the
pork and bacon you can use through the
year. Corn IS a good crop in Texas, and
yet by the zine you pay the ruling freight
rates for carrying it to market you find
its production far from satisfactory The
hard work you do makes strong food
necessary to keep your physical
organizations in good condition, and
nothing has ever been found that sticks
to the RIBS like bacon. Well, you are
buying your bacon at the stores, and you
are paying more for it because it is cured
outside the state aud has to he hauled
good long distance to find its market.
You must sell your corn for less be
cause the market is far away: you must
pay more for your bacon because the
slaughter pens are far away.
Don 'tyou see the remedy?
It is very simple.
Hogs are easily raised in Texas, and
corn produces we'll.
Feed your corn to hogs and save your
own bacon. If you cure but enough for
the use OF your own family you viii be
ahead by SO much; if you have some to
spare you will have no difficulty in finding

A Warming To Americans.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-George F.
Hollis, United States consul at Cape
Town, Africa, has written to the state
department suggesting that citizens of
the United States contemplating a visit
to the diamond diggings in that vicinity
be warned of the danger of buying dia-
mOnds from others than licensed dealers.
Illicit traffic in diamonds (the sellers be-
ing diggers and others who have succeed
ed in smuggling stones in the rough from
the mines) grew to such dimensions that
in order to break it up a
law was passed Furnishing the buyer
of the stolen stones with seven years
imprisonment in the BreGkwater'
convict station in company with the vilest
and lowest of criminals of all races. The
consul says that many innocent persons
suffer, being induced to buy, in ignorance
of the law, by Kafir negroes employed
by the authorities to inVeigIe strangers
into making purchases, the negroes be-
ing known as "treps, - the purchasers
being at once reported. and
the unfortunate buyers are ar
rested and prosecuted. Two citizens
Of the United States, Consul Hollis
writes, are now imprisoned under con-
victiOn Of this charge, Isaac Levy and
Fred Nelson. The latter is a native of
Boston, a son Of a retired merchant, a
friend of the consul. He has been
ashamed to write home, although he has
been IN prison for years. Consul Hol-
lis says he had notified Nelson 5 father of
his condition, and upon the arrival of the
new governor of the province will try to
secure the pardon for botn prisoners.

DR.. JONES Of Cincinnati told his porter
to cut some weeds and the porter killed
him, put his body in a sack and dumped
it into a sewer. In a Southern state a
merchant told his clerk he could not toll
crate dissipation, and the clerk killed
his employer. viii some ultra civilized
newspaper or politician north Of Mason s
and Dixon s line tell US wherein crime il
the North is less to be abhorred than
crime in the South, or why such murder
in the South should hurt its business in

RECENT decisions, made both in our
lower and higher state courts, are as ia
vorable to our corporation laws as the
friends and trainers of these laws could
desire The original object of these laws
was to aid in the development of on
state by inducing capital to engage in en-
terprises, the capital of which would be
represented by shares, and the owners of
such shares would only be liable to the
extent of amount agreed to be paid in.
The recent decisions are all not only in
clined to be just, but even liberal, N
carrying out the spirit of the law, and if
in the strict conformity to tho law there is
an "i'' that Is not dotted or ''t'' that
IS not crossed, the courts are not at all in
clined to hold the shareholder individually
liable in event Of loss. Persons who may
desire to iuve in corporations under our
state law We, with ordinary prudence,
nothing TO fear under the most unfayor-
able circumstances other than the loss or
Impairment of their investment, while
upon the other side they have reason to
expect handsome dividends, from the ia
vorabIe wind that now sits in the shoulder
of our Texas sail.

THE RAILROADS INTERESTED.

THE RAILROADS INTERESTED.
The following letter shows the interest
felt by some of the roads in an effort of
the people OF Northwest Texas to pro-
mote immigration If that section of
the state bounded on the south and east
bv the Santa Fe line from san Angelo
via Bolton to Gainesville would make an
effort Mt this time the result would be
gratifying. The railroads have made a
special rate to Texas points and, with this
aid and encouragement from the roads,
the people of the sections specified by
proper effort could not only gather in the
bulk of the harvest excursionists' but
ala the railroads in swelling the number
Of immigrants and prospectors. Provi-
dauce helps those who help themselves,
and If West Texas wants people West
Texas must work to get them:
ST, LOUIS, No, July IS, 1883.
DEAR SIR note what TIE GAZETTE has to
say in regard 10 securing emigration for North
west Texas and I sincerely hope the people of
that section viii organize for that purpose. We
viii have low rates of one fare for the round trip
to all points in Texas during the months of
August, September and October and bv an
united effort of the people OF that section of
Texas they surely could increase their popuIa-
ton considerably from the crowds of land seek
ers that will flock out from the Eastern and
Northeastern states. to secure a location where
land IS cheap and good climate and soil is to be
found. and / think that Northwest Texas can
offer more of that than any other state west Of
the Mississippi river at she present time and
anspe they will take advantage of the low rates
by Rdicious work and action.

Gould After the St. Louis Bridge.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. July 29.--Tt is again
asserted here that Jay Gould has prac-
tically secured control of the Merchant $
bridge and that the visit of Governor
Francis to New York was for the
purpose of closing up the deal for
the sale of the bridge. Seth w.
Cobb, the prime mover in the
Merchants bridge project still defines the
rumors that the bridge has been sold to
Gould, but the preponderance of belief
is that the Merchants bridge people are
concealing the facts. About one hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars has al
ready been expended on the new bridge.

DENVER, Col. July Ex-Governor
Gray of Indiana arrived in the city last
night from trip through the West and
Northwest.
When questioned regarding his trip and
its object he replied that his journey
through those territories soon to become
states was simply for pleasure and infor
nation and had no political significance
whatever.
While up in that new district, replied
the ex-governor, L observed many things
and made many inquiries. Eas1:s

come great commonwealth. 81

As to the political complexion OF the teg4S
ritOry and new states I have visited,
am of the opinion that WashingtOa Is
disputabIe ground. If the Democrats
were organized they might carry that
state.
Montana will be Democratic.
Both the DakOtas, however, will, in
my opinion, go Republican.
The large Scandinavian vote in both
North and South Dakota is Republican,
and heavy enough to take both new
states from the Democrats.
Were it not for the scandinavian vote
Minnesota would to-day be Democratic.
The old politician refused to be inter
viewed upon Eastern political matters
further than to say that he was positive
that Indiana would be Democratic in
1892.
He thought that President Harrison
was not pleasing his party in his civil
service reform policy and that he and his
party were staunch friends of the silver
dollar.
When asked if he was out of politics he
evaded the question and would give no
satisfactory reply.
He leaves to-morFow for indianapolis.
