known, for the benefit of those who
may be suffering as have done. The
late DR.. Charles Bell Gibson, ard other
physicians i'll the city, pronounced my
disease consur,ptive diarrhna, and after
three 81 years of treatment, during

An Aneedote of Stephen Girard.
Girard had drayman who was decid-
edly poor man. One day the drayman,
who was an Industrious, bright fellow,
with good many mouths to fill at home,
was heard to remark that he wished he
was rich
whats that?" sharply said Girard,
who heard the grumble.
"Oh," said the man, II was only wish

You don't need any money, tell
you," the old man snapped.
What shall say"
Use all the words necessary to bid in
the whole cargo. Then come to me-"
The next day the drayman went down
to the sale. A great many retailers were
present. and the auctioneer said that
those bidding would have the privilege Of
taking one case or the whole ship-load
and that the bidding would be- on the
pound. He then began the sale.
A retail grocer started the bidding, and
the drayman raised him. On seeing this
the crowd gazed with no small amount of
surprise. When the case was knocked
down to the drayman, the auctioneer said
he supposed the buyer only desired to
bid 10 one case.
IN take the whole shipload," cody
returned the successful bidder.
The auctioneer was astonished, but on
some one whispering to him that it was
Girard's man who was the buyer, his
manner changed. and he said it was all
right. The news soon spread that Girard
was buying tea in large quantities, and
the next day the price rose several cents
'Go and sell your tea," said Girard to
the man the next day.
The drayman was shrewd, and he went
and made contracts with several brokers
market price, thereby making a quick
sale. In few hours he was worth fifty
thousand dollars.

Another Landmark Gone.

1t is with deep regret that THE
STATESMAN announces the demise Of
Col. Abner P. Blocker, who departed
this life after a long and painful illness
on Nov. %, at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing.
Colonel Blocker was born Aug. 81
1922, at Edgefeld, South Carolina
In 1S4S he was married to Miss Cor
nelia Murphy of Greensboro, Ala.
who, with eight children survives him
Colonel Blocker received his title
for gallantr during the war between
the United States and Mexico. Soor
after its close in 1852, he removed
with his family to Texas and became
identified with the interests of thu
Lone Star State, for which he has al
ways possessed a deep aud abiding
love.
He bought farm on the south side
vi Jiio IlNoI, hoOup ohiOO niiiOo ioh
Austin, and engaged in the business
of farming and stockraising. The ole
nome, though it has passed into othel
hands, still stands to remind many O
the grand old times spent beneath its
hospitable roof.
Col. Blocker was Union mar
during the war and was remembered
during Grants administration by re-
ceiving the appointment of United
States marshal. He was whole
souled, noble hearted man in every
sense Of those terms. His hands anC
his purse were ever ready to aid the
sick and the unfortunate, and hi
sterling qualities causei him to be
universally beloved by high and low
rich and poor alike; while his death
leaves many sad hearts in whom hi
memory will long be kept green.
The funeral will take place from thu

A TIMELY WARNING

Against Arrant Charla ais and visionists
Who are BambOozling the Farmers.
State Lecturer A. NJ. Kellar of the
State Grange has sent out a circular
o the county oranges, asking them to
get to work and build up the order.
He says:
"Now is the time. The country is
being drummed to death by the most
arrant charlatans and visionisls, whu
are greater enemies of farmers than
wild beasts of prey. Yet farmers
their poor burdened hearts and minds
crying for some sort of relef-are
following these knaves and frauds into
all sorts of chimerical schemes; fol-
lowing them to the hurt of themselves,
of all farmers and OF their country. o,
brethren and sisters, let us beg them to
come into the Grange as the only
place OF sure refuge. The Grange has
never yet made mistake in its
policy. nor in the advice it has given
farmers. No man ever followed its
teachings and lost either monty or
character. In the name of our down
trodden, oppressed, and l am bound
to say, easily gulled farmers, appeal
to all to rally to the Grange cause
and help to save Texas farmers from
ruin and thralldom. Help US TO re-
organize every dormant Grange in the
state, and to organize new Grange
wherever material is to be had. Let
me hear from you Immediately with
leas and suggestions. l want to
say to every Grange, live or dormant,
TO every farmer who is willing to aid
in this grand Grange movement, tina
if you will inform me as to your
needs and wants, l will aid you to the
full extent of my poor ability, in both
information and personal service.
Tell me also what you are doing and
what you intend to do-what your
Grange is doing and what it intends
to do-in this Grange lecture work"
