two good horses stolen about two months

that the horse that he secured
had been traded several times and he was
on trail of the other one he lost. Our deputy
sheriff, Mr. NJ. G. Simmons, served an at
tachment on Mr.. Shelton as soon as he ar
rived home to appear before the grand jury
of McLennan county, and took the train for
Waco with him this morning. 1t Is thougns

al. from Hunt. Trespass to try title. !. In
cases of This character the better practice
Is for the plaintiff 10 ascertain and give In
his petition an accurate description OF the
land sued for, and a failure 10 do this is not
to be commended. Yet if this be not done,
the plaintiff may aid the officer who exc
cutes the writ of possession by producing
the deeds, and performing such acts as may
be required 10 definitely Ieint out the land
TO which the description IN the judgment
applies. Failing to do this, however, he
cannot demand execution of the writ II is

one of disputed boundary. l. Where mo-
ton Tor new trial IS based on newt y-dis-
covered testimony, which said motion is

supported by affidavit. it was error i'll the
court to refuse an amended motion for Il
new trial TO be filed which had proper af-
fdavits sustaining the motion for a new trial
on the ground OF Undiscovered testl-
mony, il appearing that there was no lack

on its contents, the alleged newly-discov-

the court as such, the cause being tried

BY EDITH RANDALL

There's land far away that no mortal has
seen,
Where theusKies are eternally bright;
Its hills and its valleys with yerdure are green.
Its landscapes are bathed in the silvery sheen
OF the beautiful queen Of the night.
There the softest of breezes are stirring the
flowers
That with perfume are loading the air;
And the moonbeams are kissing the beautiful
bowers
Where fairies are gaily beguiling the hours
That are passing so merrily there.
The music that floats on the air of the night
Is the sweetest that ear ever heard;
The fairies are dancing with footsteps SO light
And the flowers that bloom in this fairyland
bright
With the zephyxs Of evening are stirred

Teachers Association.

The Association met at Prosperity
on last Saturday. 1t was rather
a cold day, but Notwithstanding this
a good number Of teachers were pres
ent. One encouraging feature of the
meeting, was that there were several
present who have not attended the
Association since the school session
began.
The programme was carried out as
published. Every one appointed to
take part in the meeting was present.
This too was encouraging as it is
something unusual for such thing to
happen. The question of school pun
ishment called forth considerable dis
cussion, and as teachers often disagree,
no certain kind Of punishment met
with unanimous consent. 1t was gen.
orally conceded, however, that severe
punishment, or punishment after ln-
tlicted, instead of producing good re-
suits has an entirely different tenden-
cy.
Primary Geography was discussed
for some time and in an intelligent
way. This subject does not, receive
that attention it deserves nor is it al
ways treated in the proper manner.
The question Of holding an Institute
this summer was also discussed. All
agreed that it would be good idea to
have one, aud the majority expressed
willingness to attend.
The Association adjourned at l2.3O to
meet at New berry on ID Saturday in
April.
We will be glad to see all those pres
ent who were at Prosperity, and as
many others as can attend. h.
