These Nurseries were established at
Mission Valley, Texas, in 1870. To
secure better mail and shipping facili-
ties, we have removed to the Gulf,
West Texas and Pacific railroad, ten
miles above Victoria and eight miles
from the old location.
We have made the most exhaustive
experiments, combined with careful
study,
In Southern Texas Ground for
a Third of Century.
We have spai ed neither care nor ex-
pense that couid j crrasr the valnr Of
our results to tbs cop, We have
kept up
Large Experimental Grounds
in which to make our tests, in both the
Fruit and Ornamental Departments.
Our tests are, therefore, so complete
and thorough that We are enabled to
offeI Varieties well adapted to the
wants of our very peculiar climate
We handle no cheap, unacclimaie6
northern trees. We do not propose to
supply trees and plants at a lower rate
than other Nurseries, but sc do claim
to be able to

The reason ascribed by the
opponents of a Railroad Com
mission, when that important
subject was before the last Leg
islature, was that a commission
would be unable to accomplish
any good for the people. The
work done by the Aycock inves-
tigating committee in forcing
two railroad corporations TO pay
taxes, is the strongest possib e
evidence that a Railroad Con-

We do not profess to be ''up"
on anatomy, but we do know
enough physiology not to have
made the above mistake. We
intended to say the ascending CO.
lon, meaning that part of the
colon that ascends Oh the right
side. We noticed the mistake
too late, besides several doctors
of this place called our atten-
tion to the error Immediately
after the paper came out, but
we did not think it necessary to
make a correction i'll the next
issue. There is probably not a
newspaper published in the
world that does not contain
some errors in each issue, and
as for ourselves we never at
tempt to make corrections, un-
less some one is wronged or
misrepresented other than our
self, and not then unless the
error is a material one. II
newspapers were to try to do
otherwise each issue would have
an errata making corrections for
errors in the preceeding issue.
For instance, in our issue of
May 1st we suppose there were
at least fifty Typographical er-
rcrs, besides other errors such
as the definition Of homicide
which was the correct defiDi.
tion of j,sstifable homicide. which
Judge Graves meant in his
charge to the jury. Also we re-
ported Bishop Watson as preach
ing on communion" when il
was ''conversion," etc. 1t We
had known nothing of law, W.
would have known that homi
eide was a generic term derived
from the latin homo, man, ant
. codo, to kill,) meaning simpl!
man-killing. If our readers at
, tribute all the errors that ap
pear in our paper to ignorance
we will have to bear their wan
|, of chaI ity and the injustice the.
do us, for in the rush of news
paper work, where one man ha
everything to do, it is impossi
e bile to prevent errors appearing
: in type, though the great mum
: Der of errors in the issue t
which we refer were due to tn
fact that we were absent whe

HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion OF The Editor and the
Opinion OF others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics of. the Day.
THE INCOME TAX.

One of the best and most
needed arrangements to restore
something of prosperity and Lift
at least part OF the burdens of
taxation from the shoulders of
the oppressed people is to tax
the incomes of the rich and
prosperous. England taxes the
wealth of the country. The
United States tax the poverty
of tho land, and the men of
colossal incomes go cOmparati-
ve.y scot-free. Shall this 90 on?
Who says so? No true friend
Of the tOilers and farmrs will
say so. We are satisfied that
incomes over $4,000 or $4,000
should be taxed. 1t is but fair
that wealth should shoulder its
proper share of burden. A
thoughtful Presbyterian clergy
man favoring ali incame tax,
writes us of recent date:
"The intent of the income
tax bill is, and its outcome if
passed would be, to furnish the
Government with the tax 10 run
if economically administered.
not SO much as now from the
poor farmer and others but from
the richer classes who are most
able to pay it. No bill yet pro-
posed is so little utopian and
offers so great advantages to
the farmers"
North Carolina taxes now all
incomes over $1,000. 1t has
been doing this for a long time
1t is too low. 1t ought to he
made $4,000, and less than that
is taxing a mans living. Some
men lie aud dodge, but honest
men pay the tax as in duty
bound. Will. Messenger.

"All | have to say in reply to

not believe in purity is impure.
The man who does not believe
