Our acquaintance with the course OF

we cannot suggest what action would

ers doubtless know how 10 meet the
emergency, and are apt to solve
the question to their satisfaction.
If the farmers were to resolve not
to sell directly or Indirectly to those
who have plotted against them, the
likelihood is that the factories en-
gagged in the scheme would have to

SOMETHING FOR THE WOMEN TO
DO.

DU.
The NetcS &, Observer Of l4th eX>
presses a great deal in few para
graphs on the home situation, Among
other things it says:
They can make things so cheap
at the factories by tue use OF ma
chinery, that it seems like time
wasted for any one to make them at
home,
Every year the factories make
them cheaper and cheaper. But
that is Just repetition o. the i'll
turn those shoe factories did for the
poor fishermen OF Massachusetts
who were forced by being deprived
Of their winters work, TO desert
their old homesteads.
What do our people fad to do that
.avts a penny, or brings IL dollar?
The men labor in the crops, but The
women ard the chliren. and the
men in the stormy days, what do
thcy find to 90 that adds to the in>
conc Of the family: II Is because
they make nothing to sell that they
have hard times.
Tucy have time, spare tlme,plenty
Of it. They are willing to lator, to
work lldustrio1sly ; but they find
no employment. The factory system
has been the undoing Of tue family
Industry. More blessed would be
the name Of The nan who would in
troduce some Industry that wouli
give employment to the households
of this land than if he were a con-
quering hero, victorious IN hundred
batllas.'
TIE DEMOCRAT has more tEaa
once expressed opinions on the same
line.
It's true that the women and
children find very little to do Ia the
homes nowadays, but it can not
all be charged to the convenience
ana h,apuess of factory goods.
If the people in the country would
90 back to the work that was dOne
in tie days Of or grandmothers,and
knit their own socks, spin and weave
more Of the clothes they wear, there
would not be so much need for avail
lng themselves Of tie convenience OF
factory gools.
Tue old time d:stHF would re
greater curiosity to the ordinary
county lads and lasses than cage
Of monkeys or an itenerat bag piper.
You can fad almost as many Canary
birds in the country as you can find
wheels and looms. TIE truth is,
many people who can not afford 1t
are trying to wear pretty rel stock
ings from the factories, and many
other pretty things, instead Of max
ing them with their own honds.
We are old fogy enough 10 think
that more of the old time simplicity
of living among the laboring people
would bring, in few ears, more Of
the old time prosperity. In many a
farmers home yoa can scarcely find
one single garment made there.
Long time ago tue girls spun and
wOve cloth for their fathers and
brothers to wear, and nothing is
prettier than blue CD, clled shirt
dyed with indigo that grew in the
fence conner.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Man Shot and XII ell While Asleep in thu

Correspondence of the Gazette.


FORT DAVIS; TEX, Aug, This
town is just now greatly excited over
one of the most horrible murders in the
annals of crime. Last night John P.
ostenson, a we'll to do vegetable farm er
residing in the northern edge of this
town returned about IL O'Clock from a
trip to the neighboriug town of Maria
where he had been selling vegetables.
He went to bed as usual in the same bed
with his wife, his little daughter sleeping
on a pallet at the foot of the same bed.
During the night some one shot him in
the head, killing him instantly. His
wife and daughter claim tn. they never
heard any pistol report during the night
and did pot know he was dead until this
morning when they arose to dress. The
dreadful deed cannot be accounted for
as il is not known that he had any enc
mics, and the crime could not have been
for purposes of robbery, for money that
was by the bed and easily accessible was
not touched. His wife andidaughter and
a man named Anderson, who slept in an
adjoining room and claimed not 10 have
heard the pistol shot, are now under ar
rest to await further Developments.
