A Tlmsly Preface 10 .issa Sermon.

4 Timely Preface to Coed Sermon.
On last Sabbath Rev. j. w. Tur-
ner preached At 81. Paui's church
in Clinton. lie said:
Before proceeding 10 my serme.,
IL Is right that as a minister make
few remarks by way of comment
upon the current events Of the pas;
week"
Last thursday Was Thanksgiving
Day and by happy concurrence
We had also our s'C0unty Fair I"
God has blessed u; with 2 must
| bounditul year. He has opened
wide His hand with which lie fills
all things living. 1t was but meet
aud right that we should BIZ thank
full and should put on exhibition the
gifts Of His Providence. While
viewing the fruits of the earth and
looking upon the fat poultry and the
sleek cattle all Of them the creatures
OF His b0unteou- hand one might
well voice forth his thankfulness in
Il song OF praise. 1t was, indeed,
appropriate that these works OF His
Almighty power should be. on exhi-
bition. They bespoke the praise of
their Maker ard expressed the
thankfulness of pious and grateful
hearts.
The presence too, Of the birds
with their sweet voices and bright
plumage was very right and proper,
for they also proclaimed His glory.
The works Of art also, devised by
the cunning fingers Of man were
rightfully there.
These all as an. exhibition were
most suitable and becoming to the
Day Of Thanksgiving. They set
forth the praise Of God and the
sight OF them called for a song Of
thankfulness from every grateful
heart.
Yes! 1t WIS, indeed, right and
| proper that these works of Gods
hands should be put on exhibition
rs examples of His bauntiful mercy.
Bat why-lat me ask-Why should
we place along side of these works
of Gods goodness an exhibit of
mans Wickedness?
What right had those gambling
tables there? Why were they spread
a. snare in the sight of our people
to lure them with temptation? Was
such display Of wickedness a pro-
per thing to set before the eyes of
our youth? Was SO great multi
tude assembled for the purpose of
witnessing such an exhibition? Was
it Il safe example to place before the
coming generation: Can we nope
for our children to grow up an
honest, Industrious, God-fearing
people Will such lessons displayed
before them.
And, again-Wfy WAS there Sc
much drunkenness to be seen on the
grounds? Was it right that the eyes
Of the temperate and the pure mind
ed should be offended with the
sight OF sudl an evil?
And why was there 50 mnch pro.
family to be heard? Why should
the ears Of the devout aGd reverent
be shocked by profane oaths and
words Of sacriIege and blasphemy:
To think, too, that the camping
was licensed and that the managers
in so doing become participants in
such an evil.
AS minister | must pronounce
against such things.
They are a wicbedness, a sin, and
a shame.
After this timely rebuke to .
glaring evil, the divine then de
liveled a beautifully appointment
sermon f0i advent Sunday, which
for want Of space we are unable tC
report.

Near Syracuse, N. Y, Alexander S.
Baker, a wealthy stock raiser, was stung
on the nose by a honey bee and died
within ten minutes. The physicians say
that it is one of the strangest cases they
ever knew. Thirty-two years ago he
was stung on the back of his neck and
nearly died from the effect. Since that
time he has not had pulse more than
forty-five, it is said. Five years ago he
was stung with similar effect and then
sold his apiary. He was at the home of
bis son when stung last time.

BEE COUNTY AND BEEVIE1B.
New Eff Dorado, 6or. HJmeseekers and
Investors.

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
400 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, and 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay 'sub-soil Is the pre-
vatling quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions with very, rich black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to- scour on the
pillow. Bee county will average as much
+ cotton to the acre as any in the state
Picking begins month earlier and con-
tinues amonth later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow well, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes, melons, pumpkins and ell
kinds of vegetables grow to great perfec-
ttion. Pears, peaches, plums, apricots,
figs, oranges, bananas, Strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds of small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber for fuel and
fencing About three-fourths of the coun-
ty is susceptible Of cultivation, though
less than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
Raising of cattle, horses aud. mules has
been the chief occupation of the people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
lis given to improving the breeds and
stock farming is destined to be the lead
ing industry. The blizzard's chilling
blast spends its fury before reaching Bee,
county and has but little influence upon
the thermometer. Sixty miles is far
enough removed from the gulf to get full
benefit of its constant and glorious
breezes shorn of its excess OF salt and
humidity and perfumsd with the fra

CLIMATE.

1t is not possible in the short space allowed
here to do justice to the Climate Of Southwest
Texas. It's physical relations TO The CONT
nent and the great seassg and its climatic feat
ures are so various and peculiar as to present
conditions entirely different from any other
portion of the world.

WHAT 1T OFFERS.

1t is along the lines of this road that South
west Texas offers such inducements to settlers
as would, if fully understood, rapidly fill this
whole region with corn and cotton farms, fruit
orchards and vineyards, vegetable gardens
and root crops of all kinds. The lands through
which this road runs are very fertile, well
watered and timbered. The climate is unsur'
passed and there is not any section of the
country through which it passes in which
farming operations cannot be successfully
carried on. Fruits, grapes, vegetables and
melons ripen and are marketed weeks in ad'
vance of other sections. Write to
