An EARLY RIsRR.
The San Saba news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1873-1966, 1890-07-25
The Epitomist says:

"The vegetable garden must
still be one of the first cares of the
farmer as well as the market gar
dener; what work is left over must
be attended at once. Beets must
be sown at once for winter use,
carrots must no longer be neglect
ed. Plant out the horse radish
between rows of early cabbages;
sow lettuce now for succession,
transplanting them to rich soil
twelve or fifteen inches apart
Melons should also be planted out
in rich soil and protected from
the attack of the yellow striped
bug. Onions want considerable
attention, begin cultivating and
weed just as early as the rows can
be seen and keep it up if you want
your onion bed to be a success
Peas of the first, early, smooth
kind should be planted on the
very richest soil only. 1t is only
by careful and persistent attention
to details that the vegetable gar
den can be a success"

could expect the clothing mer-
chant to give away hats and coats
or the grocer to donate -four and

them.
And yet there are some very es-
Unable and intelligent gentlemen
who ask of newspapers what they
would not think of asking of any
other business.
Even if the columns must be
"flled up" with something, there
is wide difference between read
ing matter that has an interest for
many people and a personal appeal
for public support. AS well might
the merchant claim a page adver-
tisement of his wares on the
ground that the paper must be I'LL
ed up with something.
The man who asks space IN a
newspaper for the publication of
that which is calculated or intend
ed to be Of individual benefit
ehouId expect to paw for the space
devoted to his personal interest,
Just as he would expect to pay for
a suit Of clothes or a ham.
To attain a circulation that rem
ders the newspaper valuable as a
medium tens of thousands of dol
lars are expended, and it should
not be expected of newspapers
that they will give away that upon
which they depend for existence
and profit.
The quasi public character OF
the newspaper misleads many peo-
pie; but the distinction between
'fthe-0ditorial and the other col
umns of the public journals shoulc
not be overlooked. Because the

all that promises to be of public

erybody in this town knows, that
if 1 had a dollar in my pocket l
could not pass that saloon without
going in and getting drink; all
the people of this town could not
keep me out of that place; but
God has changed my heart, and
the Lord Jesus Christ has de-
stroyed my thirst for strong drink:
and there is whole weeks wages.
and 1 have no temptation to GO
there; and, stranger, if this is a
notion, 1 can tell you it is a pow

such as sickness at the stomach, diar-

Chamberlain's Remedy the very thing to

ways keep it about. 1t is somewhat sim
liar to the usual cholera cures, but seems
TO contain ingredients that render it more
pleasant to take, and that do their work
more quickly. Sheriff Devereux tells US
that he is subject to cholera morbus, and
recently felt a spell coming on, when he
obtained a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera, and DiarrhOea Remedy, and two
