Mineola. Tex, is in n Fair Way to Get an
Ice Factory. CooPerage Works and
Other Industries thai VIII Mark
New Era in Her On
ward Progress.
MINEuIA, TEX, July 5, 1891.


To the Gazette:
Our people arc now ncgo iating with
parties for the erection OF an ice factory to
be erected this fall, beginning in September,
and have the ARRANGEMENTS well under way
for cooperage works; work to begin on these
works in less than sixty days. And now
we wan number one full-fedged wagon
factory. 4 better tiInbered country Tor the
location of 4 wagon factory Gadfsk be found
west of the Mississippi<riTs for we have
the greatest abu1dapeeof all kinds of tim
bcrs used IN manufacturing wagons, and
thess.siabsrS or the lands can be purchased
al 3sxtremely low figures, aud we are SO
located that our facilities for shipping pur-
poses can not be eyceied. Our local trade
amounts 30 about six carloads Of wagons
per year, and there are two other towns in
the county that deal in wagons by the car
load. SO the trade of our own county
would be no small item to a factory located
here. Our people would donate TO any
company locating a factory here, all the
necessary grounds for factory purposes and
freight their machinery TO this point, and
sell them all the timbered lands they would
need within four miles of the city for al
extremely low figure-for much less than
their market value and they would proba-
bly, aid the enterprise il other ways.

THE CHECK RACKET.
1t Is Worked Upon an Unsophist.cated
Gentleman.

Gentleman.
Another case Of misplaced confidence and
the evils of lending money to strangers
came to light yesterday at the union depot.
This time the unsophisticated victim was
taken in by the ime-honored check racket.
The name of the victim was Henry Thomp-
son, but the names of the men who got
his money will probably not come 10
Light. Thompson became acquainted with
the men and was on more than friendly
terms with them. One of them repre-
sented that he had package in the express
Office which he was very anxious to get out
at once, that he had no cash with him but
check for $50. The banks being
closed he was unable 10 cash the check
Thompson very kindly offered to advance
the money. His friend accepted with many
thanks. The exchange was made and
Thompson still has in his possession the
check, which he found later to be worth
less. His friends have disappeared and he
mourns the loss of his sheckles. The po-
lice have descriptions of the confidence ex-
perts and are on the lookout for them.

IN DANGER OF LYNCHlNG.
DIR. Love Assaulted by a Negro at Nacona,
Probably Fatally Injured
Special to the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette.
NACoNA, MONTAGUE COUNTY, TEX, July
4.-I'his morning a negro by the name of
Graham slapped a white boy by the name of
Wood. This evening about O'Clock the
same negro struck DR.. Love with billet of
wood over the right eye, a fearful blow
The doctor thinks DR.. Love has little
chance to recover. Sheriff Howard
promptly arrested the negro and started
him to the Montague Jail. There is strong
talk of lynching the negro.
Except this affair we had a grand ceie-
bration. There was an immense crowd of
nearly 5000 people here. There was speak
ing by Judge Sparks of Montague, an old
timer, also by Mr.. Worley of Gainesville on
the sub-treasury measure. There was
music by the Bowie band and dancing.

| have friend who is crank. This
friend has dicovered new method for
keeping cool. 1t is to work hard enough to
cause free perspiration and neglect TO carry
a pocket handkerchief. His theory is that
the perspiration evaporates. cooling the
skin and leaving the body in heaithful glow,
while wiping it away with a
pocket handkerchief, destroys the effect in
tended by nature and leaves the skin hot
and dry. He believes that perspiration was
designed by nature to keep down ones tenn
pe"ature, and he cannot be gainsaid, for no
man has the temerity Or ability TO tackle
natures designs with view 20 improving
upon them.
My friend, James Craig, has a new story.
IT is this: While in Topeka
last week l witnessed singular
exhibition Of nerve on the part Of a tramp.
A rather seedy-loosing individual entered
a restaurant at which | was dining and
ordered very elaborate meal. After eating
it with great relish he took his check,
walked to the cashiers desk and cody in
formed him that he had no money. The
cashier put his hand TO a shelf under
the desk, produced a pistol and ordered
the man to pay. whats that?n the tramp
asked. pointing to the pistol That, sir"
answered the cashier, lis a revolver An
expression of relief came over the mans
face as he replied ''Oh, l don't care
straw for revolver; L thought it was
stomach pump. Good afternoon" And he
walked out and disappeared around the
corner before the astonished cashier could
rally from his surprise

Chinese Medicines.

Scorpions, according to the Chinese way
of thinking. are invaluable when employed
as remedy for badly congested liver,
which ailment can only be surnised by the
Chinese druggist to be the one which
affiicts his sore and wearied customer
Powdered bees and beetles are highly re-
garded by the Chinese physician in the
treatment Of throat troubles, and if they
do not instantly effect cure on being
taken the patient deserves to suffer.

From away up in Illinois there comes
each week TO the desk by the window
where the South wind frequently brings
along its load of dust, country newspaper
that tells of picnics, and eggs, and corn,
and watermelons and the gossip and cacsle
of the dear old burg that is read with far
more interest than the great dailies. It
brings with it a Whit of the country
breeze, laden with the perfume of orchard
and VINEYARD, and memory travels back
along the weary years TO the
old white schoolhouse, with its green
blinds embowered in trees. From over the
grassy lawn comes the song of the reaper in
a neighboring field, and rouses one from the
drowsy hum of study. Up before the teach
er's desk a lank, long haired, barefooted boy
is wrestling vainly with the opening lines
of Virgil:
Tityra tupatular recubans septegmina faga,
Silvestrem tenui musam meditaris avena,
and wondering why he can't emulate Tity-
rus and reciine beneath the shade of trees
IT brings back the golden light of the DAYS
that are dead, when life was worth the living.
The grassy side streets, free from dust or
pavement, The white houses nesting amid
the trees, and over all the golden, simmer
ing sunlight of the harvest time. In the
outskirts of the village the old home rises
to view, big white house with ample
lawn, guarded by tall, oak trees. The tinkle
of the COW bells in the lane and the olang of
the old church bell, when the golden clouds
banked themselves in the west, downy
couch for the god of day as he sank to rest
AL are brought back to memory's vision,
and 4 great wave OF inconsistencies sweeps
over one for sight Of the old home and
the faces long since hidden beneath
the mould that are brought to mind
by that village newspaper. Childhood's
friends are long since grown up and scat
tered the old home has passed away, RACED
by stranger hands to make room for mod
ern villa. Yet the old country newspaper,
its face unchanged, comes along, as link
binding one to the past, and treasured more
carefully than any other publication No
other journal can take the place of the
country newspaper.

ton of the Colorado sea. Just at present it
will no doubt be of considerable interest:
''The Colorado desert basin the press dis
patches speak of filing with water from
subterranean passage is wonderful thing.
1t is in the southwestern end of California,
butting up against the Colorado river and
Arizona. The Southern Pacific road crosses
it. One hundred miles Of It's track is in
the desert. There is absolutely no evidence
of life about it except just in the center at
point over 200 feet below the sea level,
where q company mines salt. There has
been no water or vegetation Of any kind in
the desert. Even the trains have to haul
tank-cars to carry water for the engines
across this sand bed. Theyalso carry tanks
of water each day to the salt mines.
Il came through this desert recently. 1t
is simply bed of loose and ever shifting
white sand, 100 miles across. Sometimes
the sand blows up ten feet deep ON the rail-
road track, from which it has to be shoveled
OF; and again it blows ont from under the
track, allowing it to sink. 1t has been
known TO blow so hard in the desert that
the sand would actually cut down telegraph
poles by constantly beating and grinding
There is no danger of anybody being
drowned by this basin filing with water,
for neither man nor animal lives in it. The
only loss will be TO the railroad. 1t per-
haps might Lose nearly hundred miles Of

People nowadays don't know how to eat
or appreciate watermelons. Those that
you buy at the stores are all very nice, but
the only delicious watermClonS are those
that grow in a cornfield. Given 4 dark
night, large melon patch carefully hidden
away in the cornfield, a knowledge of the
locality of the dog and the man with a gun,
and the conditions are favorable. You
steal slowly over the fence and into the
corn rows, moving slowly and carefully be-
between the rows so as not to make noise,
eyes glancinG III every direction and ears
alert for the first sound that will betray the
presence of watcher You come to the
edge of the patch and pause. You keep per-
fectly quiet for five minutes or so. BY this
time your eyes have become accustomed TO
the gloom and you can see the dark mounds
that you know are melons. These are larger
than those that grow anywhere else. Then
you advance slowly and carefully into the
patch keeping eyes and ears open and care
fully humping each melon until you
find nice plump one whose peculiar
punk assures you it is fully ripe This, :
you carefully detach from its parent vine,
and secure another in the same way Then
you carefully return TO the end of the corn
rows next the fence. Here you sit down
on the ground and burst your melons open
you mustn't use a knife. Their rich. red
glowing hearts are open to you. You take
both hands and scoop ont the luscious meat
You eat only the core, and 10 not go below
the seed line. You may live to be as old as
Methuselah, but you'll never yet get melons
as luscious as these.
