CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

In an address before the Scotch-lrish
American congress at Columbia, Tenn,
a few days ago, Hon. James Tanner,
United States commissioner of pensions,
after abiding to the conduct of the gov
eminent and of his own official action in
pensioning Union veteran soldirs, said:
snow, on the other hand, claim that it
is the moral and religious obligation OF
the states of the south who passed the
ordinance of secession in the mad heat OF
passion and led the enthusiastic youths of
your land into this war, it is their duty,
through state legislation to enact such
lava and to make such appropriations as
will provide for them in their declining
yeare; and here, and now, am so pre-
sumptuous as to declare that every com
rade who wore the union blue and
since the war has cast his lot among
you, whose material possessions are with
you, will cheertully submit to their
pro -rata share of all taxation which may
be necessary to see that the wolf of want
and gnawing of hunger shall be kept from
the homes of the men who, on hundreds OF
le-felds, felt the horrors of war to the
last extremity. Common dency demands
this action on the part of the legislatures
of the states who passed the ordinance of
secession, and freely declare that in all
the great northland, the voice of no de-
cent man or woman will be raised to pro
test at such action.

Always Safe and Sure.

1t ia safe to take BRANDRETH's PILLS at
any time, but to get the best results they
should be taken on an empty stomach be-
fore going to bed. For constipation or
dyspepsia one or two taken every night
will, in short time, perform an absolute
cure. 1t is we'll to take purgative at
least once or twice month as preventive
of disease. BBANDRETH's PILLS are en-
tirely vegetable, and the safest and most
effective purgative ever introduced to the
public. They have been used in this
countryfor over fifty years.

COME SOUTH TO TEXAS.

The Baltimore Sun, after discussing the
bad condition of the railroads of the weat
and showing how its farmers are cramped
financially by selling their crops in low
market and buying high tariff goods,
draws this comparison: "In the south the
situation is better, the crops being of a
kind for which there is well-sustained
demand at all times, and there are other
we'll known causes for the growing pros
perity of the people and railroads of that
section. But in the extreme west there is
said to be little prospect of decided i'm
provement, even if the next crop should
be good. Railroad rates are sure to be
low. Mortgages on farms are often good
Investments, but there are said to belarge
areas not worth forecloeiug the mortgages
on. GO south, young man. seems to be
the lesson the situation in the west
teaches" And of all the south no state
offers such tempting inducements as
Texas. "Young man, come to Texas"

oan 10 improve. After she had taken
three bottles her paralysis had left her and
her eyesight was almost completely re-
stored. She soon became new woman,
and life once more became worth living
Her restoration was so marvellous that
even now she can hardly reaiize that she
was once on her death-bed, and that, had
it not been for Pe-ru-ns, she would I'M
doubtedly be in her grave.
To keep the bowels in good order Mrs
Proehl took Man .a-lin from time to time
a most excellent system regulator and
gentle but effective laxative.
These remedies, Pe-ru-na and Mana
lin, our readers can easily procure as they
are kept in stock by all druggists.

Taylor Topics.

Special to the Statesman.
TAYLOR, May 2l.-In the past week two
good rains have put crops of all kinds in
good condition.
The change in time on the International,
which went into effect yesterday, is quite
inconvenient for Taylor and towns south.
Boil of the trains reach Taylor about
midnight. The Missouri, Kansas and
Texas will have new time card out Sun
day, and these trains will probably con-
meet with the International.
Wool is coming in lively, and buyers are
pelntiful. Cotton still continues to come
in.
Nike Butler, of Austin, is in Taylor.
After June l all dogs without tax-tag
will be killed.
j. Z. Tucker has bought the Newell
property on the corner of Broad and Por-
ter streets for $4,000.
Walter Robertson, of Salado, is in town
for few days.
A couple of deputy sheriff5 will get
themselves dis liked if they do not attend
to their own business in Taylor.

Col. j. G. CARR, of the glorious and far
famed region of west Texas, is not only a
signal success as a sergeant-at-arms, wit
ness his record in several of our state leg
islatures, but as writer he Yields pen
truly dipped in rugged eloquence. His
late article in the Ell Paso Tribune, de-
scriptive ard commemorative of the state
capitol dedicatory ceremonies of a year
ago, does him infinite credit and is val.
liable contribution, treating as it does in
a most interesting way an occas ion always
to be remembered by Texans.

The New York Herald fires center
shot: "After being confined among the lu-
natics on Wards island for four months
Henry Scherr has been declared by the su
preme court to be sane man and is free,
But how about Doctor Matthew D.Field and
Doctor Allen Fitch, who were responsible
for the incarceration of this citizen? Is
there no way of reaching them?" Was
that man cured during those four months?
Was he ever insane? Who are those doc
tors mentioned and how high do they
stand in their profession? When such q
thing can happen in the popuIous centers
of the east, how much more possibility of
similar outrages in country precincts!
Isn't this field for the humanitarians of
the age to OCCUPY?

county.
The teachers institute gave a public
entertainment to good audience, COM

A Sure Remedy.

When SOW gets 10 eating chickens and
other fowls, there is but one way to cure
her, and that is to fatten and kill her, end
the sooner this is done the better, unless
she can be removed to lot to which the
fowls do not have access. The eating of
her own young is altogether another
thing, and can easily be guarded against
by allowing her the run OF lot where sbe
can root, or by feeding roots or green feed
II kept in pen. A SOW with natural
will not eat her own PIGS.
