An Important decision.

BoNHAM, Tex, March 2O.-A case
OF considerable magnitude involving
several points Of law has just been de-
cided here in special court with Hon.
II. W. Lightfoot, of Paris, as special
judge. The case is something like
this: Last year the city Aoated bonds
to the amount Of $4,000 to build q
system of waterworks. The money
thus raised was turned over to the city
treasurer, who deposited it in one Of
the banks here subject to check. An.
other bank offered the city 5 per cent.
interest on $50, 900, the amount re.
naming. After several payments Of
the waterworks had been made, the
treasurer was ordered to transfer the
money to the bank Offering the inter
est. This he refused to do unless he
was allowed his usual commission TO,
handling the money. An injunction
was served out, and Judge Lightfoot 4
ruling sustains the action Of the tire as
urer, who by the decision is allowed Il
place the city funds ON deposit at any
place that is deemed safe. The iudc,
also ruled that the council could onf,
remove the funds with the consent O,
the treasurer and that such fund,
could not be placed at interest.

Texas is going to have one or more
deep water ports on her gulf coast and
that in the near future. This may be
regarded as settled fact. Waco
should have direct line of railway to
one Of those water outlets. We believe
that the point which relies upon private
capital alone, will get deep water in ad-
vance Of others that wait for federal
aid. The syndicate operating at tho
mouth Of the Brazoss appear to be
working on that line and we have faith
IN the success Of their undertaking.

In . Candy Store.

In attending to the sale of candy we
see good deal of life in its brightest
and ightest side. Faces are made tamil
lar to us by their owners coming in fot
candy with clock work regularity.
Ladies, generally mothers. and gentle
men on their way home from bust
ness, are our most constant customers,
with, of course, young, ladies, the
bellies who shop every day, and are
devoted to bonbons, or who come in
to have their pretty bonbonnieres re-
filled daily. You can always tell when
q young man is buying for his lady
love. He wants q pretty basket or
box, and in large quantities, and is
particular in his request for the GER
tain kind he has ascertained she likes,
generally lemon drops, marshmallows
or chocolates, though mixed butter
cups are new favorities. Some men
are very fond Of candy. and purchase
it for themselves, but only in little
quantities-five cents or ten cents
worth-a little package to carry in
their pockets. One young man came
in the other day and asked us, absent
mindedly, for some whisky killers"
We looked our amazement when he
was brought to himself, blushing VIC
lently at his unconscious question,
and told us he meant peppermint
drops" Still another amusing &C.

Lord Beacon.fleid,. Dest.,

It is curious to hear the astonish-
ment expressed by those who ought to
know about Lord Beaconsfeld at the
statements in the Quarterly Review
concerning his debts. Lord Beacons.
field was poor man all his life, for
the reason that until shortly before
his death he had never paid Off his
early liabilities. The fortune left him
by Mr.. Bridges Williams cleared them
of and he paid e-ery penny no owed.
Lady Beaconsfield's fortune was hers
only for her life, and she was not able
to leave him anything Of importance,
but in the early part Of his married
life she assisted him with his election
expenses, and, except for his marriage,
the probability is he could never have
stemmed the tide of money difficult
lies which always hampered him.

Gold Digging Ants.

Cisco, Tex, March 2O.-A tract Of
land in the eastern part of this coun-

some time at 5000, was sold day or
two since for $1,000. This increase in
value was brought about by red ants
decorating their beds with particles
of gold. The seller lie well pleased
with the trade, and the purchaser
thinks he has struck bonanza, while
the ants pursue the even tenor of their
way the same as though they were
merely sitting sand.

J. Smith, proprietor of the Georeia
house, and / s. Bettison, from Ash
land, Neb., were fishing at the long
dock at Punta Gorda, when q fish got
on the line held by Mr.. Bettison that
fairly made his hair stand ON end.
When he felt him on the line, the
other men being some distance away,
he thought he would quietly draw his
game in and surprise the others, but
the harder he pulled the more the fish
went the other way. Finally he yelled
for help, and Smith says Bettison's
eyes were as big as saucers when he
came up. To make tho exciting story
short, they held to the fish until he
came to the top and then finished his
career with ball from Winchester

measuring 6 feet 4 inches in length,
weighing 292 pounds, and is one OF
