Has The Right Ring.

Calamity howlers should read the address recently delivered be- fore the Chamber oi Commerce of Fort Worth, Tex, by the Presi- dent of the body, MT. c. II. Silli- man. The facts presented are ln regard to prices, crops, and condi- tions in Texas, but they apply al- so to Missouri, Illinois, and most other States in the Mississippi Valley.
 He shows tha: with 40 per cent reduction in the price of cot ton, the great staple ot Texas, food clothing and other articles needrd in the family or about the house and farm are 40 per cent cheaper on the average than they were for several years prior to 1892. The farmer receives less for bale of cotton than he did tben, but he can buy as much with the proceeds as he could when cotton was cents pound. Hc would be no worse off if only an average cotton crop had been rais- ed last year Fortunately, how ever, the average yield per acre
 was the largest in the history of Texas, as was also the aggregate yield for the State. Texas pro- duced something like 2,sO0,OO bales of cotton last year, or about 40 per cent more than she did in 1893. The value of this crop is placed at $SO,OO,0OO, as much as was ever realized from d cotton crop in that State.
 Mir. Sillman had something to say, too, about cotton seed. A few years ago 1t had practically no
 money value. Now it is worth $S a ton for its oil, adding about S4
 to the value of each bale. He
 says further that 100000 cattle
 were tattened in Texas last year
 on cotton seed hulls and on meal
 and cake made from cotton seed The only other great agricultural
 staple of Texas which suffered q
 decline in price last year was ) wheat, but there was an increase in total yield from 5000, 900 to [, , 900 ,000 bushels. while the average } price per bushel was only q few { cents lower in 1894 than in 1893 Next to cotton, corn is the , greatest agricultural staple of Tex | as Last year the State produc- , 69, 100000 in 1893, and the price , per bushel was considerably high f CT. The report on oats, another } great Texas cereal, is about thu same. Better prices have ruled : and the crop produced 20,00o,00t , bushels, or 5,3OO,ooo more than thu previous years, an increase of 3t '. per cent.

A Chance to Make Money.

I have had my first streak of luck and 1 want to tell you about it. A little over four weeks ago I began selling Dish Washers, and have cleared in that time s400. Isn't that pretty good for the first month? 1 am sure I can do bet ter every month right along, as every Washer sell helps to sell others. I eau wash and dry the dishes for an ordinary family in two minutes, and as soon as peo- pie see such a machine, they will buy it quick. This IS business anyone can do well at, in any To- cality. You can get full particu- lars by addressing the Iron City Dish Washer Co.,, E. E. Pittsburg, Pa. Don't wait till some one else gets your home territory, but start to work at once.

complaint. Levin, the optician, of

examination and advice, and in case
he cannot help you he will tell you so
at once. Unlike a great many others,
he does not claim to cure everything,
but simply to be an expert in adjust
ing the eyes. If you have had any
trouble with your eyes, you cannot
afford to miss this opportunity for
consulting an optical specialist. Mr..
Levin's prices will be found to suit
the poor mans purse, and the best ad-
vertisement that he has is to refer to
his customers. Remember the dates,
