SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
TBY Col. JAS. P. NEwCoMB

BY COL. JAS. L. NEWCOMB'l
When old straw is threshed over In
"Short Stops" the people understand II
1t would be we'll for imitators to adopt
the same intelligent method.
The Express" is not satisfied with
having borrowed the editor OF the
LIGHT" but now actually makes an at
tempt to steal the livery OF snort
Stops" in order to serve some OF its tai
ented friends.
The people have been accustomed to
read "Short Stops" and find their views
reflected fairly and impartially without
unbecoming personalities. All live issues
should be discussed, and the more discus
sion had the better able the people VIII
be to determine the truth.
1t is to be regretted that the discussion
of economic measures affecting our wei
fare as a municipal CON munity has been
marked by trihing personalities. The
people are too serious and thoughtfui TO
be swayed in their judgment by calling
the mayor or any prominent CITIZEN pet
names.
The opposition to granting the right
of-way to the Gulf Shore road over GER
tainstreets to permit that road TO reach
it's depot, has aroused considerable feel
ing among the people, because it assumes
the character Of temporarily checking the
enterprise.
The protesting citizens have rig hit to
protest, and no doubt would be perfectly
willing and glad to see the new road built
in front of their neighbours doors; The
City Council unfortunately are pushed TO
quick action. Such grant not only should
be considered in relation to the present
but TO the future. The establishment Of
a number of railroad depots in different
parts ofthe city is considered advantage
Gus to new and growing towns, but large
cities have been forced to esta6 lish union
depots, as the best suited to the conven-
fence of trade and travel.
The most feasible route for the new
road should be selected at once and the
right Of way granted. Our city limits are
TOO extended to halt railroad at the city
limits. Our city will belgreatly benefited
by the railroad work beginning at once,
and while some few citizens maybe in
convenenced. or think so at least, they
must glVeway.

Obituary.

From "El Partido Liberal" City of
Mexico
"COl. D. JOaquinN erastegui passed away
on the morning of April 18th, 1894, at 5
o'clock, from strangulation of the intes-
tines, from which malady it was impossi-
BILE to save him, he having all the medical
assistance that could be secured.
Col VeTastegui was our old and sincere
friend, a valiant and ChivalrOus soldier,
noted for his warm and impulSive nature,
frankness and loyalty. He was a soldier
by nature, impulsive and brave in battle,
and quick in action; for a friend he pos
sessed the heart Of a child, and for
those he loved, was affection itself
Death came TO him in the prime of life
and in the strength of his manhood, when
the rays Of midday energy shone upon
him. 1t seems that we can hear his
trumpet voice, and see him with a smile
upon his manly face, always ready for any
undertaking and sympathetic with those
about him.
We tender to the esteemed family of Oul

sincere sympathy in this their atllictiOn.

"A REGULAR FIX"
Felix Featherstone's Troubles at the
 Opera House.

Felix Featherstone's Troubles at the
 Opera House.
 Sidney Grundy's bright, sparkling and effervescent wit was the excuse for much hilarity at the opera house last night. Rain hurt the lower floor of the house, but both galleries were well filled, and more enthusiastic or better pleased audience never left the house. "A Regular Fix" is just what the name implies, and is of the highest order of farcical comedy, the plot is clearly de- fined and the situations are ludicrous in the extreme. Poor harrassed eFelix Feathersone' IS in "a regular hx'' from three minutes after the curtain rises on the first act until the final fall. He is bullied by the serv- ant girl threatened by "Uncle John" /" afraid of his wife, disbelieved by all, and ashamed of himself. His trials and tribulations are funny to the audience, but real to him. At every turn he makes he has to either confront the impertinent cham Der maid, his irascible uncle. too clever wife, hysterical sisterin-law, or an angry lover. Even when he jumps through the window he does not escape, but threatening letter is hurled after him.
 In this role MT. Payton won dis tinction. Never man wore more harassed look than he did at the be- ginning of the second act his whole characterization was most ludicrous and amusing. As the impertinent maid servant Penelope" Miss Keene greatly assisted in the general merriment; it was the work of finished comedienne. Miss Farrell was pleasing as Mrs. Featherstone, and Miss Thompson looked very sweet as "Ethel." MT. Culver was the irascible Uncle John, and Harry Jackson did we'll as Harry Prendergrast." All in all it was most amusing play, successfully produced, and if the company remains next week is worthy repetition to better house.
 The farce that followed was laugh able affair and Harry Jackson and his dog Blizzard" made hit.
 Tonight the play will be Charles Reade's three act pastoral, "Driven From Home," dramatized from Ten nyson's ''Dora." At the matinee this afternoon, especially for ladies and children, the bill will be "The En- bassv Ball." The prices of admission for the matinee will be only 15 cents for children and 25 cents for grown people to any and all parts of the house.

Quite Satisfactory.

The king of the Belgians went out for walk the other day, and entered a farm to ask for glass of milk. When he had made remark in English to his companion, he heard the hostess say to her husband in Flemish: II won der what that long-nosed Englishman will give us for the mill1?" Whereupon the king took out a fvefranc piece and gave it to the woman, saying in Elem ish: Allow me to offer you the DOT trait of the long-nosed Englishman"

A Queer Plant Disease.

Avery beautiful proof of the delicacy
of the balance of forces on which the
life and health of animals and plants
depends is furnished by some recent
experiments at Cornell university.
Tomatoes grown in the forcing
houses of the university had the veins
of their leaves greatly swollen and
turned white, and the leaf cells were
enormously stretched; so much so, in
fact, that at length they burst, and
water poured plentifully from them.
The cause of this singular phenomena
was found to be that in consequence
of the great amount of moisture con-
tanned in the warm air of the
forcing houses, the leaves were not able
to give out water by transportation as
fast as it was sent into them by the ac-
ton of the roots. 1t was case of veg
etable dropsy.
Another instance of similar effect
has been seen in the case of apple-trees
which were ruthlessly pruned during
the winter. When spring came, and
the roots began to set currents of mois-
ture flowing upward into the twigs and
leaves, the latter had been so greatly
reduced in number that they could not
take care of the too-abundant supply
thus forced upon them, and result,
the leaves became gorged with water,
and the tree suffered from dropsical
| disease, Farm and Fireside.

HERE AND THERE.

When fowl gets sick, it is better
and more economical to kill it at once
than to spend several days in ac-
complishing the same end by quack
doctoring.
The Dixie Interstate fair, to be
held at Macon, Ga, October 90 to No
vember s, promises to be an event Of
great Importance to southern industry
1t is stated, on what seems to be
good authority, that in 1889 there were
$1,000 sheep in one county in North Car
alma running wild without owners.
These sheep are shared annually and
the proceeds go into the county treas
ury.
The sheep shearers of the north
west have organized a union, and if
somebody don't look out we will hear
of strike about next May. If the
machine clippers are employed, the
shearers say there will be a wool-pull-
ing.

next.
-Considera experience has taught
the writer that for fowls of all ages,
dry grain is the best of all food for pro-
noting the health. The birds have a
pretty well defined idea of what is
best for them, and will invariably
leave soft mess to pick up dry corn or
wheat.

suited to the number he wished to
put on it. And then Little Jersey and
Lady Hereford, with just enough asso-
ciates to keep the dairy running, were
introduced TO the new order of things,
The results of all this were n benefit
both TO farmer and stock; it enlarged
the capacity of each to help the other.
The housewife got more and better
milk and butter from one COW than she
had been getting from two, and as all
non-producing stock had to be Hoped
off, the mich COW got all that two had
before. And the good result was it
stopped all litigation between farmers
and railroads for killing stock. An
other very important item, rarely
ever thought of until after the
working of the stock law, is the
additional public roads granted to the
county without any actual cost. Two
farmers joining would much rather
have good road, regularly used, run.
ming between their farm than to have
an everlasting and an unsightly row OF
bushes, briars and weeds standing in
their way. So all to be done is to ask
for a road along this or that land line,
and it is given, no estimating of dam
ages, for the road is worth TO each one
much. When they have their wagon
loaded in gathering time, instead of
Juggling through the field across rows
and bitches to reach the gap, or gate,
he drives right out into the big
road, whistling merrily, home, to
market or the gin. One other advan-
tage, the old fence row took up hun
dreds of acres of the best land they
had, but now it is in cultivation right
out to the edge of the road. But some
man will say, THAT will do for poor
old Georgia" and | say amen, and go
further, and say it will do for rich
young Texas. And wish to say fur
Their, the time has come when some of
our legislators can immortalize them
selves among the farmers of Texas by
advocating and carrying to success a
measure that will save them millions
of money at home, instead of spending
it for barbed wire.-Cor Farm and
