it is decided with full appreciation Of
the fact that, if the decision here made
shall be sustained on appeal, the title to
many other lands, not included in this
suit, may be affected by it.
Nevertheless, my conclusion is that the
Constitution appropriated to the school
fund an undivided half interest in the forty
sections of land described in the petition,
and that the patents issued to defendant
for said lands are, as to said half interest,
void; and Judgment will be rendered for
the state, este bishing its title to said half
interest, to be held IN trust for the school
fund. W. M. KEY,
Judge Twenty-sixth Judicial District.

The last legislature of Tennessee gave
the Hermitage, the burial place of General
Andrew jackson, as home for INDECENT
ex-Confederate veterans. The Hermitage
contains 475 acres of fine blue grass lands,
on which is situated a fine old mansion,
the former residence of General Jackson.
In addition to this the Legislature made
an appropriation of ten thousand dollars

by liberal subscriptions throughout the

If disease has entered the system the
only way to drive it out is to purify and
enrich the blood. To this end, as is &C.
knowledged by all medical men, nothing
is better adapted than iron. The fault
hitherto has been that iron could not be so
prepared as to be absolutely harmless to
the teeth. This difficulty has been
overcome by the Brown Chemical compa-
ny, of Baltimore, Md, who offer their
Browns Iron Bitters as fsultless iron
preparation, positive cure for dyspepsia,
indigestion, kidney troubles, etc.

quent in that and other parts of Texas.
In nine cases out of ten there is some ex-
cnse, such as self-defense and other sub
terfuges, but in the majority of cases they
are pure murders with malice afore-
thought It is time the people of Texas
put down this murder mania which has
done SO much to prejudice and
injurs the state abroad, morally and
financially. The truth is, we are
not Furnishing the crime of murder as we
ought to do, and which it is the interest
as well as the duty of the law abiding por
ton Of the people to do. It has not been
so long since jury in an old settled
county gave verdict of few years only
to the perpetrator of the most cold blood
ed, beastly and diabolical assassination
ever known in this state. While we hear
of people being killed almost every day
in some part of Texas, nobody ia hung,
and all that the red-handed hend who
takes human life fears Is the Few years

why there is 80 much murder throughout
the country.
