4 Ripc Old Arc,

J. II. Holcomb and wife. of Belcher- vile, Texas, have celebrated their fifty 6fth wedding anniversary, and are still hale and hearty. The secret of their long life and good health is that they csrrect any slight aiIment promptly. and in tha, way avoid serious sickness. Like most every one else, they are more frequently troubled with constipation than any other physical disorder. To correct this they take St Patrick's Pills in preference to any other. because, as Mir. Holeomb says, They are mild pill and, besides, keep the whole system in good order. We prize them very highly" For sale by H. Evans 6 Co. druggists.

Weak Mon and weak Women.

Men and women both suffer from weak ness and loss of strength. Women. however, suffer more than men. Men don't have those bearing down pains, the bane of weak woman's existence. Both have their dizzy spell, however, and both benoan their loss of appetite, their lack of energy, that feeling of wcariness and constant fatigue. Both become languid. insipid, and life to either hardly seems worth living. Their kidneys are weak and seem wasting away. Their iivets are inactive. their stomachs disordcred. their bowels irregular. Oh. foolish. fool ish men and women! why will you not seek the way to health and strengths Others as miserable as yourselves are now In the full enjoyment of happy, joyuus life, simply because they put prejudices aside and began use of that excellent alternative known as Dr. John Bulls Sar- saparilla. Ask your neighbors who have used 1t what they think about it. Ask your druggist for 1t, and don't take any other.

To try to cure catarrh by using local ap- plications. Catarrh Is not local. but a constitutional disease. It is not dls- ease of the mans nose. but of the man. Therefore, to effect cure requires con stitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsapa- parilla. which, acting through the blood. reaches every part of the system, expell- ing the taint which causes the disease, and imparting health.

DON'T FAIL TO READ THIS. An important Notice to Our
 Subscribers.

On January 1, 1891, we will open new subscription book for TIE TIMES. In transferring the large list of names we will exercise the greatest care, so that none who have subscribed for the paper may be overlooked. In this con- necti0n. however, we desire to make
 A VERY IMPORTANT STATEMENT. We have list aggregating 15O sub scribers. A large number of these are in arrears more than twelve months on subscription. Now when we transfer our list on January 1st we Twill be compelled to drop every sub scriber's name who has not paid up to within twelve months of this date. or made other satisfactory arrangements with us. THERE CAN BE NO EXCEP- TIoNs TO THIS GENERAL RULE. If your name happens to be among the number we beg you,will not think it is because we think you are dishonest, or that you are trying to BEAT us, or that we have Il bad opinion of you. We believe every man who reads the TIMES is perfectly willing to pay for it. But there are a large number who keep putting it off from month to month and forgetting to call and set tie, and we are unable to carry them longer. We cannot do cash business on credit basis, That is to say. We cannot pay cash fnr our goods and let them ont to Tom, Dick and Harry on time and especially on long time. and especially on longer time than twelve months. Business is business, and it takes money to run newspaper and clothe the babies.
 In conclusion, let us say that we sincerely hope we will not have oeca- sion to drop a single name from our books on this account. If you owe for your paper you are aware of it, and we hope you will come up like man and pay for it. If you don't do so, and are in arrears twelve months or more on the first day of January, your name will certainly be dropped from our list and the account placed for collec- tion.
 Remember, there will be no excep- tions made to this rule. The best friend we have in the world will be dropped from our subscription book if he fails to keep paid up. We are anxious and willing to send you our paper, but we cannot do so unless you pay for it. The amount is small in each instance, but the aggregate is much to us. IL will enable ils to pay our debts, and that is what We live for.
 Trusting you will not be among the number dropped-if any there should be--we are

Lobsters in Prison.

When Holsters me dumped out into n
dory they all get mad. Finding nothing
to fight but each other, they go ct it.
Here is one who is evidently offended at
some action of lobster near him, who
is, to tell the truth, considerably the
smaller, and he proceeds to "do him up"
in the most approved fashion. His tail
is curled into almost half circle, and
with wide open jaws and claws ne
pounccs upon the little one, who, how
ever, dodgcs him.
Then they catch each other and begin
to chew claws. Of course they make no
roise, but Us the shells of the claws snap
and break they bend and roll il their
agony. As they begin to feel greater
pain they get more and more cxciced,
and their horns shake in an ominous way.
First the big one is on the little one, and
then the latter is holding his own.
In short time both are nearly claw
less and are evidently suffering greatly.
Finally the weight of the big ole over
comes his antagonist, and, curling up his
tail almost in circle, the little lobster
lies perfectly still and shortly expires,
while the big shellish craws into a cor

MeteOriteS.

Meteorltcs are particularly interesting
because they comprise the only material
coming to us from outer space. In con-
sequence of the striking phenomena re.
sulting from their rapid passage through
our atmosphere, making them appear
like balls of fire visible at great dis
tances, sometimes exploding with such
violence as to be taken for earthquakes,
their falls have been noticed and recorded
since the earliest times. The accounts,
however, were imbued with superstjtions,
and 30 distorted by the terrified con-
dition of the narrators, that in most
cases the witnesses of the event were
laughed at for their supposed delusions,
and it was not till the beginning of the
present century that men of science and
people in general began TO give credit to
such reports.
The earliest authentic records of stones
falling from the sky are to be found in
the Chinese annals, which 60 back 644
B. c., and between that time and 1888
A. D. Blot has traced sixteen distinct
occurrences. In Europe, meteorite is
said to have fallen in Crete as for back
as 147S B. c., but Greek history cannot
be depended upon for events earlier than
700 B. G. A more probable fall, in 7O5
B. c., i, mentioned by Plutarch; while
Livy,in his History of Rome, gives an
account of shower Of stones which fell
on the Alban Mount about 652 B. c.,
and which so impressed the senate that
they decrced a nine days solemn festival.

Strength Of the Big Turtles.

The power and strength of the logger
head and adult green turtle are enor-
nous, writes c. F. Holder in the Ledger.
have had them tow my boat at rapid
rate of speed, and perhaps one Of the
most exciting sports was riding the tur-
ties. The individuals taken on this and
subsequent trips were carried to turtle
crawl and there imprisoned, the crawl
being an inclosure on the reef, fenced
in portion literally. When they were
required for food it became necessary to
catch them-a process attended by much
sport and excitement. The huge turtles
could be seen lying upon the bottom, in
strong relief against the sand, fast asleep.
Then was our time. So, diving careful
ly, we would go down with eyes open,
and quickly grasp big fellow by the
shell, back of the neck. This was all
that was necessary, the turtle did the
rest. Startled from a sound sleep, it
would rise to the surface with several
powerful strokes, take quick breath,
and then dash away, dragging the rider
half under, at a furious rate. By raising
the body, so to present some resistance
to the waves, the turtle could be brought
to the surface; and to see half dozen
dashing along with human riders was a
most laughable spectacle. Shouts, cries
and splashing urged the reptiles on, and
made the crawl the scene of no little ex-
citement.
In many such rides I never knew a
turtle to attempt to bite its rider, the
main object being to escape. The great
est amusement was occasioned when a
turtle succeeded in carrying down a
rider, who, finally, half drowned, would
be obliged to release his hold and come
spluttering to the surface.
