MONTAGUE'S COLUMN.


Montague has the pleasure
Of announcing that his mann
moth stock is now being re-
plenished with new goods
weekly--his large and in
creasing sales requiring a con
stant supply Of new goods.
His prices will be SO low that
for self preservation close buy
ers who pay on the spot for
their purchases will necessa-
rily do their buying Of him.
1t is to the interest Of every
person to patronize their
home merchants. The fact is,
q town without merchants
would be a very singular one
in any country, and yet every
COWn is DleSSed {! Win a lew
people who always work
against their own and their
neighbors' interests by adyo-
eating some other place as a
better one than their own to
do their trading in. Lebanon
is not entirely exempt from
those who ought to be loyal to
and work for the upbuilding
Of their city, but who are I'M
fortunately quite the reverse.
Much capital has already been
driven away from Lebanon by
this course, and many con-
templated enterprises that
would have enhanced values
in this vicinity have been
abandoned through the ma
lign influence of chronic
cranks. Let us all work to-
gether for our own homes and
our own people, and the day
is not distant when we will
have as prosperous an inland
town as there is in this State.
Merchants here in every line
will sell you goods as low as
they can be sold anywhere.
They are always with you to
help to assist in every public
enterprise. Montague voices
the sentiment of the mercan-
tile community Of Lebanon
when he says that he viii sell
you anything that you want
from his mammoth stock at
the lowest living rates. His
stock is a very large one, and
the goods must be sold. Drop
in and be convinced. There
is no good logic in building up
other cities at our own ex-
pense.
The farming community
understand their own interests
well, and they know that to
make their land valuable and
sought after by buyers a good
prosperous town in their
vicinity is just the thing to
attract newcomers, and they
almost universally patronize
their home towns. Our inter-
ests are identical. Let our
motto be, Home against the
world"

LONDON, December ls.-The announce
ment over his own signature of Mr.. Par
nelps convalescence and the probability he
will speak at Nottingham next week are a
source of qualification to his friends and
allies as we'll as cause of annoyance to
the Tories, who had hoped he would not be
able to keep his engagement, many OF
whom boldly accused him of feigning i'll
ness in order to avoid speaking, though
upon what grounds such an assertion was
made it is impossible to conceive.
Many of the broad statements by Mr..
Balfour in his speech at Glasgow have been
wholly confuted by John Morley in later
address at the same place, and il remains
for Parnell to explode the rest of the To-
ries' argument-a task he will experience
little difficulty in executing.
Unparalleled enthusiasm has attended
the signal success of the Tenants Defense
league, whose branches have lately been
established in most sections, and the To-
ries of Ireland have set the active officials
of the government to wondering whether
this result of their vigorous warfare against
the plan of the campaign has not proved TO
be for them leap from the frying pan into
the fire.
Additional legislation which will be re-
quired to combat the new order of things
will meet with stout resistance in the
house not only from the liberals but also
from many conservatives, who are unable
to discover that the government is making
any progress in Ireland, but are rather in
chned to the belief that the policy of Mr..
Balfour is taking the ministry and the
party as well many steps backwards.

Mayor Mcdonald, DR.. J. j. Tobin,
Judge Fillmore, Capt. Mather and a
few other prominent ''damites" made
an excursion on yesterday to one OF
the places where the dam ought to be.
This point can be reached by anyone
by taking the old Mount Bonnet road
and keeping on the main road to the
river, then turning through gate on
the left and going down the river un.
til the ford is reached. Right at this
ford is where estimates have been
made by our engineers for the
building of dam. No one can
fail to be impressed with the value
of the stone foundation he stands
on at this point nor with the
advantages to be derived from thu
proximity of excellent rock for build
| ing purposes in the hill on this side 0
the river. The only drawback tina
| could be urged to this proposed site i
the distance from the city, and it vii

A Fine Beginning.

Dallas News: The News yesterday
published letter from Hon. Barnett
Gibbs suggesting that an appropriate
memorial to the honor OF Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis would be in the shape of a
magnificent structure at Austin de-
voted to the care and comfort of needy
ex-Confederate veterans, to be called
the Davis-Hood Veterans home. The
object to be attained would be two-fold,
in that it would furnish resting place
for worthy veterans and at the same
time perpetuate the name of Mr.. Davis.
A check for 800 accompanied the let
ter of Hon. Barnett Gibbs. The News
will gladly publish Acknowledgements
of contributions to the fund sug-
gested.

BLOWING bod and cold.

Day before yesterday Mr.. Lee Biles,
OF Buda, was in town blowing hot and
made complaint against Tom Black
shere and his wife, Lena, and one
VIM. Davenport, all colored, charging
them with the theft Of cotton. Deputy
Sheriff Brown and Constable Davis ar
rested them and they we're arraigned
before Justice Calhoun, where it was
soon discovered that there was no
earthly ground for the complaint, and
they were promptly discharged from
custody. In truth the colored folks
owned the cotton they were charged
with stealing. subsequently, II is
asserted that Mr.. Biles said he did not
want the Blacksheres and Davenport
arrested, and II he was blowing hot in
the morning he changed and was
blowing cold in the afternoon.

Der Of people had no end of pleasure.
Attractions had been added to some

with beauty.
At the Continental last night Mrs.
Charles Raymond was assisted by Mrs
Will Tobin, Miss Mary Hart, Miss AL
ford, Miss Lula Stelfox, Misses Nellie,
Mary and jamie Baker, Miss Peeler,
Miss Edwards and Miss Moore.

were elaborate and beautiful.
The musical programme was ex-
cellent and contributed no little to
the pleasures of the evening.
The supper of course was all that
the most fastidious could desire, and
all in all the entertainment was a
gratifying triumph.
1t will be repeated tonight and the
refined quaintness and attractiveness
of the booths, the elegant and charm
ing young ladies and the superb sup

A DAM INSPECTION.
The Party Most Favorably Impressed will
the Outlook.

A number of Austin's prominent
business men went up the river yes.
terday evening to look at the proposed
sites for dam. The point most gen
orally favored is at Taylor's lime chute,
where solid rock bluff about l25 feet
high stands on the east side OF the
river and a firm bank, gradually rising
to the mountains on the west. The river
bottom is solid rock, and the entire
dam can rest on as firm a foundation
as any dam in the world, the only OBJ
lection to this point being the appar-
emit difficulty of getting the water to a
point where it can be utilized. En-
gineer Pope estimates the cost of tun-
neling race at $4,000 per mile.
From a fifty foot dam a tunnel two
miles long would probably find day
light in the ravine south OF the resi-
dence of Comptroller Mccall, whence
it can be carried in a canal down to
the International railroad near NC
Donald's brick yard, and thence back
into the river. Fatories built on this
ravine would be Immediately on the
railroad and about quarter OF a mile
beyond the city limits. Surveys have
been made at Johnson's ford, at the

his attachmenf to popular rights
created in his paanly bosom a pro-
found love of justice to all classes.
and IN his death liberty has lost one
OF her purest devstees.
No statesman better than he
understood ,the true nature of
our gove4nment, and the
genius of our free institutions.
He believed that plain, simple
government, With severe limitations
upon delegated powers. frugally adj
ministered, was 1.-THE noblest outgrowth
OF the wisdom Of the age.
And he was an intrepid and Sleep
less sentinel in warning the people
when constitutional principles were
being subjected to an unexampled
test and dangerous and in
sidiou0 inroads were being grad
ually made upon their rights,
and With will of iron
that could not be bent from the
conviction OF duty, he died in mar
tyrdom TO- cause espoused by the
state 70 which he owed allegiance, and
was alone ostracised for a quarrel
which he did not provoke. From the
hour of the first budding of character
in youth to the time when he entered
the emulous walks of aNself-reliant
manhood, and the aspirat ions of a
noble ambition were crowned with
the plaudits of an admiring a peo-
pie, he stood out as a con-
spicuous mark of political
probity and public honesty, and the
mirror of his official record rel lects
only images of Spartan virtue, high
honor and unyielding integrity.
And when the end finally came and
the messenger Of death awaited With
out he received the dread sunni IONS
with an undisturbed equipoise of
mind that was unappalled by its
terrors, and as the silver cord vas
gently loosened, with smile upon
his face, he passed into the somlre
shadow Of the valley that leads to the
place of rest.
And while we do not feel called
upon to forsake the memory OF his
great deeds and would not be induced
to contemn the sad story of his dis
appointed hopes, the best way for Us
now to emulate his great virtues is tp
deposit in his tomb the last trace d
sectional bitterness and make every
effort that will conduce to the present
and prospective glory of our whole
country, while we strive as best We
can to initiate the sublime divinity O
Him, who, with the gall upon His lips
looked up through crown of thornl
and invoked benediction OF forgive
ness upon His foes.

Gentlemen-Your favor OF the 10th
OF the present month to Gov. Ross,
enclosing draft Of Royal A. Ferris,
treasurer, of your association, for the
sum of 81, 800, the proceeds thereof to
be used by him according TO his best
Judgment in aid Of the Confederate
Home located in this city, has been
turned over by him to myself as presi-
dent of the board OF directors Of the
Home.
While Gov. Ross has acknowledged
its receipt, cannot let the opportu-
nifty escape me, in behalf of the man
agement and OF the battle-scarred, de-
crepit and aged inmates of the Home,
to extend to you, and through you to
your association, our sincere and pro-
found thanks for this generous help SO
kindly bestowed.
1t comes to us at time when the
Home is full to its uttermost capacity
Of helpless veterans, because Of which
we are driven to the painful necessity
kof refusing admission to others as
worthy and equally entitled to the
care and kind consideration OF d great
and heroic people. We have diligently
labored day and night to acquaint the
people Of Texas with the duty they
owe to themselves towards these war
worn veterans who at the longest will
be with us but awhile. The response,
while it has been generous, consider
ing all things, has not kept pace with
the necessity OF the helpless ones Of
these old veterans.
No sign is, to the management,
more hopeful for the future Of the
Hume than the fact that your ASSOC
citation has taken hold OF the matter
and has shown your faith by your
works. While the known character
istics Of those who compose your ASSOC
citation would lead us to expect much,
your gift has exceeded our most san.
guine hopes. Very truly yours,
HENRY K. SHELLEY,
