"HoME OF THE PLUG"
That is What the '.Southern Tobacco
Journal Styles Winston.

0ab ID w nat inc 0Out0S1n TOBACCO
Journal Styles Winston.
Indeed it seems that Winston and
our tobacco interests are loudly
praised everywhere. Bro. Hartman,
of the Southern Tobacco Journal,
visited our market recently. and in
the last issue of his paper we find
many kind notices of our manufac-
turers. In speaking of the Winston
market he says:
''There lies the city of fine plugs"
said a traveller as the train came in
sight of Winston, and the speaker
gazed out of the window and rolled a
soft quid of Missing Link, under
his tongue.
what" said the passenger in the
next seat, care these people given to
wearing plug hats?''
$50 bury yourself in the sand and
forget that you ever lived,'' replied
the first speaker. ''No, decidedly no,
these people are not given to wearing
plug hats, but to the laudable habit
of making the finest chewing tobacco
in the world, and if you had ever been
a reader of the Southern Tobacco
journal as you should be, you would
know what | meant when [ spoke of
yonder city as the 'shome of the plug -
And reaching in his pocket he handed
his neighbor a chew of cold Oaken
Bucket
''Home of the plug" that's a good
name and right proudly: Winston
bears it. The progress she has made
in the past few years is a record of
which any place might be well proud
To-day Winston tobacco stands high
in all the markets and her factories
are taxed to their utmost capacity
to meet the demand Two things
stand out prominently as the secret
of this wonderful success-the I'M
approachable quality of the Winston
leaf and the thorough business capac-
ity of the Winston manufacturers.
The leaf marked in Winston has, per-
haps, no superior anywhere for chew
ing purposes. It is of rich waxy
character that suits the popular de
mand exactly. In connection with
this there is hardly town in the
South to-day whose manufacturers
are more thoroughly business men
than are those engaged in Winston's
tobacco trade They have learned
the art completely of manufacturing
tobacco so as best to suit the public
taste and with all these things in
their favor it is no wonder that a
Western salesman remarked some
time time ago that "a yaller dog
could sell Winston tobacco"

a number of alleys that would make

needed improvements can be made,
we all know that the only way that
it can ever be done is by "a bonded
debt. All admit the absolute neces-
sity Of it. Then why not incur the
debt at once The sooner the better.
If the town feels that it can't afford a
large debt all at once, then take a
small sum for each year to be used
on certain (mentioned) streets, but
by all means let the work that is
done be properly done and to stand.
Why throw away $4,000 patching,

us that the amount is insufficient to
do effectual work and, as all know,
the consequence is that our streets
are as bad if not worse at the ex-
piration than they were at beginning
of the year?
For Heavens sake let us have some
relief from this mud and stencil and
at once. We as town are able and
can afford it. If we think we can't
afford decent streets and healthy air,
then advise that we stop abusing
rival towns that do a much smaller
business, but still have these improve
ments that are absolutely necessary
to all towns that have any hopes for
the future. a. l..

GALVESTON, January 25,-There are now
five well developed cases of smallpox in
this city under treatment. All are iso-
lated, and originated from the first case
reported two weeks ago. All the persons
afflicted are negroes, and every precau-
ton is being taken to prevent the spread
of the loathsome disease, and vaccination
is the order of the day. Quite scare was
created this morning when 1t became
known that large quantity of clothing
had been sent out to various families in
the city who had their washing done by
recently infected family. An application
will be made to the board of
health Immediately for two colored physi-
clans, who will be quarantined with the re-
Gently developed cases, which are remote
from the first case discovered. Grave APP
prehensions exist that the disease will be-
come epidemic, regardless of precautions
taken to prevent its spread, as the weather
and climatic conditions are favorable to
it's propagation.
Prof. j. s. Williams, la-de-da dancing
master, who came here from New York
several months ago and opened school
in the Terpsichorean art, has skipped the
city, leaving numerous creditors and
pupils in the lurch for various amounts.

DEL RIO, January pa terrible trag'
edy occurred here between 3 and O'Clock
this morning by which two Mexicans were
murdered. Last night man and woman
came to visit an old Mexican lady who &C.
cupied a small house of two rooms. The
man and woman in question took posses
sion of the rear room for the night, where
about the nour mentioned there was ter
ribls row heard by those in the adjacent
building. All rushed into the room which
was as dark as a dungeon. They lit a
lamp when there lay before them, cut and
stabbed to the heart and stepped in pools
of blood, the man and woman,
neither of whom could utter word.
Sheriff Jeffries was soon on the spot and
made inquiries about who it was that, COM
mittsd the deed, but you might as well ask
tree for Information as ask any of the
Mexicars for information that would lead
to any arrest. The old lady who occupied
the house was arrested. she tells some
conflicting stories, and it was found out
that it was the husband of the dead wo-
man who committed the deed. They
were married here not long since, as the
records show, in the county clerks Office.
He is not to be found, but it is supposed
he has fed to Mexico.

Wnnts q New Charter.

Special Telegram to the Statesman
PARIS, January 26.-The city council of
Paris have been considering for several
weeks the advioability of applying to the
legislature for a new charter, but the
mayor, Hon. R. Waldridge, seems to be
trying his utmost to defeat the project.
Two members of the council on last We'd
nesday presented an application to the
mayor requesting him to call a special
meeting of the council for the purpose of
considering the subject, but he refused.
Therefore, several members of the council
presented him with like application, but
were again refused. They VT mt in body
to the mayors Office to hold a meeting,
but the mayor left the hall. No action
has yet been taken.
