The Wants of Humanity

temporal success. You can not find one of

Having obtained living he wants to get

Having obtained a superHuity he wants
more-more. The husks of this wilder

meat; an OK is gramnivorous, and wants

everything. The buckets of this world s

The Village Lamplighter.

In some suburban villages the lamp
lighter makes his rounds in a sulky. He
may not have a greater number of lamps
to light than his city brother, but it may
be that they are further apart, and to get
over the ground IN time he must drive He
does not carry the inclosed torch that is
commonly used in the city. for he doesn't
need it; driving up under the lamp, he is,
when standing in the sulky, high enough
above the ground to reach the burner, and
he lights the gas with a match-New

ABOUT \ BURYING GROUND
Columbus Citizens Involved in Fight
Over Their Cemetery.

Columbus Citizens Involved in Fight
Over Their Cemetery.
The town and city of Columbus are
having fight over their cemetery. 1t
seems that back in the forties a piece of
land in the town was used as burying
ground, and was afterward decided to the
town for that purpose. Subsequently d
part Of the town, including this piece of
land, was Incorporated as the city of
Columbus by an act of the Legislature
which continued the rights of
the citizens of both the city and
town la and to the cemetery.
Later anOthyr act was passed to the effect
that the city should have the management
and control of the cemetery. The city as
Sumed such control, and since its incorpo-
ration has appointed sexton to discharge
the dGties of such position Recently the
town authorities put new locks On the
gates to exclude the city ard its sexton
from interfering with the property.
Having occasion to make interments,
the sexton, under the direction of
the city, opened the gates
and dug graves. For this the town has
commenced an action of trespass against
him in the circuit court of Columbia
county, and he justifes it under the city.
Messrs. DIN & Butler and John S
Maxwell represent the town and Col
George W. Bird and Hon. A. g. Coo2
appear as attorneys for the city. Other
litigation is anticipated before the con
troversy is finally closed.

Black Pigs.

There is a prejudice in some quarters
against black pigs. The Berkshire is a
fine shaped hog and is noted for its lean
meat and quick maturity. 1t may not be
generally known that the product of
Berkshire cross on Cheshire county sows
almost invariably gives white pigs. If
these are bred together there will be a
probability of three kinds in the same

W hen to Churu

An English authority says the best test
for determining when cream IS sufficiently
ripe for churning is that afforded by the
use of blus litmus paper. This paper can
be obt timed of any chemist, and the only
thing required to be done is to immerse a
little slip of it in the cream. If, on its
withdrawal, the color at once changes to
bright red, the cream is sufficiently ripe
for churning; otherwise, not.

Strawb cry Runners

Strawberry runners prefer a deep, rich
fine soil, that is well cleaned of grass and
weeds. As soon as the last picking Of
berries is made, cultivate between the
rows with a deep tooth cultivator, and
beds, keep the spaces between the plants
clean in thu rows, as well as between
them, until the runners fill the row. Some
of the work between the rows must be
done with the hoe.

Corn meal, used in connection with
middlings and oats, ground, the whole
thoroughly baked, forms one of the best
articles of food for chickens; far better
than either one by itself. Study to make

poultry culture with only single variety
of grain. The sooner this policy ceases
the better for the pockets of the breeders.

PECAN ORCHARD.
BETTER INVESTMENT THAN A
NATIONAL BANK.
The Experience of a Farmer of Brown
County, Texas-An Interesting article
the Culture of Pecan Trees.

Atlanta Constitution: As pecalS and the
large fortune that is to be realized by those
now planting out orchards is drawing con-
siderable attention through the columns Of
the many papers of our state and country,
and as general interest seems to be
manifested Throughout the South
ern states, especially Texas, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. and know
ing that the experience OF those who
have already embarked in the business will
be beneficial to those contemplating planting
orchards, will give you a brief outline of
what have had 10 pass through to make
pecan growing a success. In Texas a
good many Of our streams, especially
in the West, are lined with natural growth
of pecan timber, and in this section, espe-
cially in Brown county, where the nuts are
large, and where the spring rains are not in
excess so that the pollen of the trees is
washed away at the time when it ought to
be blown about By the winds and
made to fructify, and consequent
" bear large crops, man can
ride for miles without being out
OF sight Of these noble forest trees, which
not only grace the beauty OF our streams,
but add considerably to the natural wealth
Of the country. Knowing this to be the
case, and as had natural liking for fruit
culture, | bought tract of the richest val
ley land, one mile from Brownwood, to EN-
bark il the enterprise Of s'pecan raising"
This idea seemed to be quite out Of
the order of the ordinary routine Of farm
ing, and seemed ridiculous and absurd,
fer but for the natural gift of perseverance.
and knowing that the cost of gathering
along the streams, where good many of
The nuts fell in. was fully one-hah to one
third Of he value of the crop, and then the
nuts would not be the choicest and would
naturally bring low price in the markets.,

Now, in penning these lines it does
look like We both ought to be ashamed
OF ourselyes-you for publishing such a
paper as the Fort Worth GAZETTE at
q price 100 degrees below starvation ;
what in the name of all that is fair and
honest do you mean? Are you de-
terInined to undermine every other
printing press in the world and consign
them all to one poverty-striclen paup-
er's grave? Come. now, frankly acknowl-
edge it and we will think the more of
you. What. 10t copies and 2 cents
more on top OF that to jog fellows
memory that his time is up? All this
for 100 cents, less than ! cent per copy
and the postage paid? Well. you may
humbug some folks, but you can't hum
bug this child. Say, be honest, amt
you in partnership with all the tramps,
giving them mortgages on last years
failure, for your bread and butter? I
am satisfied, if you are not, there is a
screw loose or tight somewhere, and |
don't know which, and I feel ashamed
of myself for taking such an offer. II
it was only me to whom the offer was
made the grindstone OF my conscience
would not sharpen worth cent; but
when you throw the door open TO all
creation to gouge you, 1 don't like to
be accessory TO that kind Of sacrifice.
But if you really do love to bleed, and
can thrive by so much waste of blood
and brain, the man in Texas who would
not read the Fort Worth GAZETTE on
those terms ought to be hung up by the
heels and be nibbled to death by young
goslings, or chained on the floor of a

read but the hieroglyphics on its dirt
walls daubed by the feet Of daubers
and red ants.

DE SoTo, TEX, Aug. 10, 1881.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
You say f'the Peoples party should be
made to guarantee portion OF the spoiis,
and vote for negro candidates in return for
the votes that negroes are asked to give
them"
VIII you be kind enough to say why that
party should be required to make that guar
anteel
Who should require the guarantee to be
made, and whether the Democratic party
has ever made such guaranteed Respect
fully, f. S. DISGUID.
Let Mr.. Dinquid read the report OF
the proceedings of the Peoples party
in Dallas in connection with the quoted
paragraph, and he will perceive the
pertinency of it.
Melvin Wade, notorious negro pol
itician of Dallas, arose in the Peoples
party convention and asked what sort
of inducements were to be held out to
the negro to go in with the
new movement. Capt. Evans as
ssured him that "the colored
people should have an equal
show with other men in the party
While selecting the members of the
executive committee, Delegate Hayes,
colored, seeing that no pie was coming
over his way. took occasion to tell the
convention that the name of the Peo-
pies party would be Dennis without
the negro vote, and if they got the ne
gro vote they must take the negro
hand in hand. Mr.. Ashby recognized
the force OF the argument, and he sug-
gested that in the southern portion OF
the state each county have colored
chairman as well as white chairman
In each district he thought there
should be white chairman and a ne
gro chairman, so that the latter might
have fair and full representation on the
executive committee, He recognized
the negro as full-fedged citizen, and
the party which recognized this fact
would get the negro vote"
Now, We take it that if these prom
ises were made in good faith by the
