FRANCE BUYING UP GRAIN,

The Government Laying in . Supply for
Emergency.
ROME, Sept. 18-Large purchases of
wheat and other grains have been lately
made by numerous French agents directly
of farmers IN the provinces of Rome and
elsewhere at whatever prices the farmers
demanded, with the result of rapidly in
crcasing prices. 1t is thought that the
purchases were on account of the French
government. AS the grain crop of Italy is
no more than sufficient for home conSump-
ton, exporting grain now implies the ne
cessity of future imports at higher prices.

We are opposed to all sumptuary legislation

We demand an extension OF electoral reform
with view to preventing the profllse eXpend-

committees; but we resolutely oppose any eff

And we congratulate the people Of the state
that by the persistent efforts of Democratic

legislature in defense of this principle. there
has been III least a wrestling from a Republican

We favor legislative provision for proper ex-

Teachers Institute.

The Washington County Teachers
Institute held their regular monthly
meeting Saturday. There was
fairly good attendance, mostly city
teachers, and the program occupied
about two hours, aud was interest
ing, and participated in by the ladies
as well as gentlemen. A committee
was appointed to confer with county
teachers with a view of securing as
large an attendance as possible for
the next meeting.
The subject that has been so
generally agitated, GLOW to keep
boys at school," received much at
tention, the conclusion being in
favor of compulsory education, apart
from statutory regulation-that is,
the position was maintained that the
small and irregular attendance of
boys in the higher grades of the
school is likely to continue until
public sentiment is educated against
the employment of boys in business
until the school course has been
completed and domestic regulations
are more stringent.

Gentlemen-I desire to add my testimony
as to the inestimable value your medicine has
been to me, and say that believe # to be the
most eftectual remedy for the eradication of
blood poison IN existence to-day. Several
months ago MAS induced to begin the nse
of Saxet, being at that time run down and
emaciated to an alarming extent from the
effects of improper treatment from
various physicians, and after the use of QUE
bottle OF Saxet, was so perceptibly imp oved
that continued its use until four bottles had
been exhausted, when l was again a new
and healthy man. Two months have elapsed
since 1 ceased taking your medicine, and 1
feel no sign of languidness or inactivity, such
as was the case for some time prior to the
beginning of its use. Respectfully,
J. II. HURT,

WATCH THIEF. q.

Brlster Sims, better known in
BRENNAN as '.Boaz," who has just
served oat a term in Jail to pay fine
for the theft of pistol from a wo-
man, Friday night stole watch from
Charley Barnes sleeping apartments
and tried all over town to 'soak" it,
finally succeeding up at the oil mill,
but negro up there recognized the
watch and suspecting that it was
stolen, informed the owner and he
at once set out out to recover it; he
found the watch and the negro, but
could not get it. However, he got
Policeman P. A. Henderson to arrest
the negro and take charge of the
watch and Saturday morning he
made complaint before Justice
Curry, proved ownership of the
watch and a warrant charging
'Boaz" with burglary and theft was
issued. He was brought into court
and at first said he got the watch
from another negro who skipped for
Austin Friday night but could not
give his name. He afterwards de-
cided not to make a false statement
in court under oath, but remarked
that he guess he had better plead
guilty as the other fellow was gone.
Justice Curry fixed his bond at $4,000
in default of which he was remanded
to Jail.
