When your eyes get weak and pain

In our judgment Priest who
makes a practice Of getting gloriously
drunk is not very reliable spiritual
and should be dismissed from
the Church which he disgraces. Does
the Catholic Church tolerate drunken
ness in it's clergy?

present for the, old man or gentle
man friend, is finely carved briar, a
merschaum, a fine leather bill book,
or perhaps better, a box of fine cigars.
See Muller about all such things.

ceiveG fine sample of quartz rock con-
tanning wire gold that will average about
from her fathers niue at White Oaks,
where the new mil is going up.
L. L. Woods was exhibiting sample
OF iron Wednesday, we can badly call it
ore. says the San Saba News. for it was
almost pure metal, which he brought
from his place, sixteen miles from town,
on the north side of the San Saba river.
He says he has abundance of ore just as
rich as this, and tina; at two places on
his ranch the earth Is completely covered
with Il, and there are leads of IL on the
surface, extending for several miles.
Wetthink the sample is superior TO any
thing ever shown here, unless ir is some
of the choice samples of magnetic ore
from the region of Valley Springs. San
Saba county will yet demonstrate her
ability 10 compete with the world in its
mineral productions.

cidedly desert the journalistic field, for
he has been zone of 'em' in all senses
of the phrase; but the fact that DR..
Tolar steps into the deserted traces and
into his old place tend to make the
change less regretful. Him the state
press will be as eager TO greet as they
are GLOW TO repeat Mr.. Townsend g good
bye.
The Panhandle is not going to suffer

pear, which doesn t mean the least by
