A MISTAKE,
A Supposed Dead Man Turns out
to be a Log.

A colored man came flying into
the city last evening and notified the
City Marshal and Coroner that a
dead man was lying by the side of a
straw stack about a mile west of the
city. The messenger was so badly
frightened that he could
hardly tell his story. The
Coroner and the Marshal
with several others started to investi-
gate the report. The colored man
went with them as guide, and as
they trudged along on the road, he
repeated his story that he was work
ing near the straw stack, and just at.
ter dark he happened to look up and
there lay the man. Thinking he was
just asleep, shouted at him, but he
did not move, and / then threw q
club and hit him, but still he did
not stir and then it flashed across my
mind that it was dead man and [
tell you boss / lit out for town and
never stopped until i found you all"
The party reached the strawstack and
sure enough there lay the body, but
on going up to it, it proved to be
log. The crowd as we'll as the col
ored man were slightly bored over the
matter. They tried to keep the
affair a secret but it leaked out and
soon became town talk.

A gentleman who arrived from CAL

was received there last night that a tramp
went to the house of Mr.. Frank Cox, a
farmer who leaves, near Latham that
county and finding only his two daugh-
tiers at home assaulted the elder of the two,
a girl about seventeen years old and then

Good Roads.
San Antonio Express.


We may point to our public buildings,
our hotels, our markets and our police as
evidences of prosperity and good govern
ment, but there is no surer or more con-
vincing evidence of the real progress and
go-ahead of a city or county than good
roads. They are the tracks along which
produce moves TO market. Good roads
facilitate traffic and intercourse, which
Is the soul OF progress, as bad roads re-
tard all movement. Big buildings show
large investments localized. Roadways,
broad, smooth and firm, show energy
and enterprise in motion. Expert
ments show that the force neces-
sary to move given weight over moist
dirt road is % per cent. mere than is
needed TO move the same weight over a
gravel road having a grade OF one foot in
twenty-eight. On a level gravel road it
can easily be seen how much less the re-
sistanee would be than on a soft dirt road,
how great the saving i'll horse power, and
increase of speed OF locomotion.
The farmers could save money by max
ing good roads TO market towns at their
own expense, rather than endure bad at
public expense. tt will certainly pay
them to exert themselves to secure good
county officials, who viii properly eX-
pend, for this purpose, the money drawn
from them in taxes.
in thi immediate vicinity the land
is level and gravel can be obtained in any
quantity needed. The Indifference of
the farmers, the neglect, or political en-
gagements, or general incompetence of
county commissioners or the aristocratic
tendencies of county convicts, are the
only obstacles TO our having roadways
over which wood and all kinds of market
products may be moved in any season,
and over which those who come to 'spy
out the land - can travel without
matchmaking Texas soil.

of rich black satin, fastened at the knee
with silver buckles. Black silk stockings
encased the calves, and the dancing
pumps were made after the fashion of
the old Knickerboclxer shoe and fastened
with buckles of FURNISHED silver. The
dress coats were of black velvet, cut
somewhat after the style of shooting

is worn with the regulation dress coat of

THE EVIL OF 1T.

Millions of acres of the finest lands of Texas
are devoted to common school purposes. These
lands are leased to cattle syndicates and the al
most nominal rental per acre brings munifcent

millions for the school fund. will add immensely
to the population, wealth and prosperity of the

The Louisville Times is an able, in
telhgent newspaper, and, being Il
Southern journal, cannot be suspected
of any desire to misrepresent a Southern
state in order to deter immigrants from
seeking such state rs a home And yet
the Times demonstrates in the above
paragraph the truth of what THE GA
zETTE has been preaching for four years,
viz: That the mere existence of a lease
law on the statute books of the state acts
as a Difference TO inning ration to Texas.
In this matter, as in many others Texans
imagine that people outside the state
know as much about it as they them
selves do, when the simple fact is, that
people outside the state know nothing at
all about It. AS a proof of this asser-
ton, here is this intelligent Southern
newspaper saying: 'tMillions of acres of
