A Fine Invention.

Mr.. w. F. Brown, q practical farm
er, who has spent twenty years. farming
in Texas, has invented and perfected
in the last year cotton and corn plan
ter which will, we think, supercede all
other similar contrivances. 1t is one
Of the simplest inventions Of the kind
possible to conceive, and yet the most
ingenius. 1t will drill or plant
in hills at any required distance
and can be adjusted by the simplest Of
contrivances to plant any kind Of seed
equally we'll with cotton or corn. The
invention was patented December rs,
1883, and has already excited great
attention. The great advantage is that
it costs only one half the usual plante,
and can be adjusted to pillow to droT
corn as the ground is marked off, or tt
q cultivator and drop two rows at Q
time, or to . common shovelp low. II
is evidently the coming drill. Mr.
Brown is manufacturing some by
hand, and has his headquarters will
an experienced salesman at the new
agricultural warehouse on Eighth strea
opposite Hodges fence factory. Mr.
Brown has little means and there is q
rare chance for company to get al
interest in the patent and the manu-
facture, or for some man with money
Go and see it for it is certainly ,
bonanza.

DR.. KINGS
Royal Cermeteur,

THE GREAT FRENCH REMEDY.
It is q most wonderful advance in
medical science. The chemicals com.
posing this great blood remedy are en-
dorsed by the leading scientists and
chemists in Europe (where 1t was dis
covered) as the greatest ahtiseptic, or
blood poison neutralizer, in the whole
world. it is thought to be the only
remedy that will successfully neutral.
ize the poison from the bite Of the
mad dog. It is death to microbes, or
disease germs, in the human system.
When these are destroyed disease
and pain take their flight. Pain is
but the "prayor Of the nerves for
healthy blood" This is a remedy
which always does good, and will
never do we'll person any harm.
Read what DR.. S. j. Anderson, pas
tor Of the Second Baptist Church,
Dallas, Texas, says the Medicine has
done for him:
l wish to acknowledge with graft
tude that gallon Of DR.. Kings Royal
Germeteur sent me has been Of great
service to me. l had been suffering
for six weeks with intercostal rheum-
atism and nervous prostration, and had
| scarcely been able to attend to any
business. The second day after I
began the use Of the medicine /
walked all over the fair grounds with
the inmates Of Buckner Orphans
Home showing them the sights.
Since then I have steadily improved
until l do not feel trace Of the nerv-
GUS trouble or the rheumatism. My
appetite and digestion have been fine
from the day began using the medi-
cine. Yours truly,
S. j. ANDERSON.
In Teras Baptist-Herald.
Our townsmen, J. II. Halcomb &
Co., in business on corner Speight
and Fifth streets, have arranged with
DR.. King to handle this wonderful
medicine for McLennan and Bosque
counties, and sells it at $3.50 per
gallon. Mr.. Halcomb can take or
ders by telephone, and will deliver the
medicine anywhere in the city. It is
highly recommended, and is no doubt
. very valuable and economical medi-
cine.

No Asleamate warning.

There was no such warning to the peo-
pie as should have hcen given. The
message WAS held by a few officials
about the railroad who neglected to
sound the alarm until it was too late.
AT that time the water had reached the
second story OF some of tile dwellings in
the lower part of the city. All bridges
had been swept away by the avalanche
Of water then pouring through the city.
The warnings which were received in
ample time FOR all to have escaped were
sneered at and cast aside as being un-
worthy of credence.
At $3.50 the whistles and bells gave
warming that the dam had broken, but
then il was too late. There was a
warning sound and before The people
could realize the danger the water was
upon them in mass carrying everying
before It. Had they taken warning in
the morning from the messages received
thousands 0f lives would have been
