 gentleman of the city showed re- porter this morning certificate for thir- teen shares of stock in the Farmers AL liance Cooperative association. Three years ago he purchased five shares in the association at $5 a share and now it amounts to thirteen shares and $5.70. The alliance warehouse has been paid for by the association and every circum- stance of the organization points to pros perity. The alliance store does nice business with the farmers and the all liance warehouse handled a liberal share of the cotton last season. Stock in the association is taken up at an opportunity, and as little as some people regard the enterprise, it is one of the business es- tablishments of the town and growing rapidly all the time. MT. ". H. Lee in forms us that he has gathered, ginned and packed six bales of cotton from a one-horse farm, and that by Saturday night he expects to have out twenty bales from this same one-horse farm. He thinks he will gather in all thirty or thr- ty-five bales of cotton. Who can make as good a showing from a one-horse farm This is better than anything else we have heard of this year,. Mrs. Williams res taurant, at the union passenger depot here, is the home of a lot of guineas and large rooster. The rooster has deserted the birds of his own feather and carries the guineas around, scratching and car- ing for them as a hen does her little chicks.

Sound Doctrine.

Senator Mills to Chairman Dudley: "The introduction of the gold standard was done by democratic congress near the administration of Andrew Jackson, and was the result of an effort to restore gold to our circulation. That standard was recognized by democratic congress in 1853 as the best that could be obtained under existing conditions. and as cond- tions have grown immeasureably worse since then, in my judgment the best thing that we can do now is to follow the eX- ample set for us by democratic statesmen in 1853, and let the existing standard re- main. as they did, and coin silver and fractional silver as a subsidiary metaL and coin all that will float at par with gold. d.'-GalveSton News.

Evidence Too Strong to Resist.

The campaign of education is making progress in Texas. Senator Roger Q. Mills pronounees for honest money. He says: "I am opposed to independent free coinage of silver as against the teachings of the democratic fathers" With a few exceptions the ablest southern democrat ic statesmen are now opposing the free silver movement. All the business com munities at the south are opposed to free silver. The honest money sentiment is making greater progress in the states of the south than it is in some of the north ern states at the west.-Exchange.

When Maj. Mark L. Potter came down to the Birmingham district a score of years ago on prospecting tour, he found great difficulty in travelling about the district because of the bad roads. These almost impossible roads discouraged him, and he wondered if they would ever be improved. He looked around. but even his keen glance could find no mate rial of which good roads could be made. But since that time It has been found that chert makes splendid road. and in com bination with sag forms road-bed that cannot be excelled. The district abounds in chert and slag, and the splendid road system of this district has been con struoted with these two materials. Not only that, but our chert and slag is be- ing shipped to other cities for street paw intr

 Colonel Bankheed was evidently the leading spirit of the silver conference. He was apparently its most popular member When he entered the hall there was loud cheering and when he was called on to speak it was with much en- thusiasm. Yet his speech could not have suited the most radical silver man, for he said he would support the nominee of the party, whether he was silver man or not He believed in keeping up the fight for silverin the party. He thought the victory might be a. long way off, but it would come eventually He said he had not declared his preference for Cor man, as was reported by Northern paper while he was in the North re- gently, and that he could not consistently support German for the nomination as long as German held sound money views. Colonel Bankhead said he was always ready to speak for the cause of free sil- yer. By the way Senator Pugh re- marked of Colonel Bankhead that he had improved wonderfully in his oratory and that he was one of the ablest men in the ranks of free silverites..

The flags fly, the lights shine the bands play and the veterans march, is about the way the courier-Journal ex- presses if. in it's description of the meet ing of the Grand Army of the Republic at Louisville last week. What grand reunion it must, have been, to see gray haired vets grasp each other by the hand, rehearsed the stories of long ago, and as they sadly speak of some dear friend who has crossed the river since the last meet drop a silent tear to his memory and possibly offer a silent prayer for the repose of his soul. Since the last meeting no doubt a great many have answered the last roll call. One or more every day will fall from the ram parts of time and leave an aching void in the hearts of dear ones left behind to mourn. The reflection is a sad one, yet 'tis ordained of God; so mote it be.

The Inevitable Result.

Titus County Free Press: A plenty of fiat money is what the people need. They don't need money based on either gold, silver or bonds. There is not a merchant in Mount Pleasant that would not be in better condition if there were more money in circulation. They don't care anything about the fiat or intrinsic value, either if it serves their purpose, which is to exchange commodities and fiat money is all that will do it. In fact, there is no money except fiat money.
 Advocates of free silver at 16 to 1. re- gardless of intrinsic value. parity or high water may not know it. but they are in a contention that leads out naturally to the fiatism which the Titus county paper demands.-Dalias News

New Era, 12th.
 We have just been informed that on sixteen acres of land MT. and Mrs. Crane, living about six miles south of Hellin, have recently finished making up their syrup, and to their part have 100 gallons; will make four bales of cotton and 100 bushels of corn, besides fodder, potatoes, peas, etc. MT. Crane is 60 and Mrs. Crane 5S years of age. They plowed their crop with an OK and did all of their own work. This shows what can be done on Gle burne county soil by people who will work. ..Of all the boys in Hefiin who deserve credit for hard work and per severance we think that Masters Eddie and Willie Almon, aged 12 and IA years, respectively, should stand at the head of the list. On fourteen acres of land this year they made without any assistance 200 bushels of corn, saved about 150O bundles of fodder and made perhaps peas enough to do them through the winter. They think that had 1t not been for continued wet weather at first, and then a drouth, they would have done better, ..At a meeting held in Chattanooga, Tenn, last week by parties interested, the Heflin Gold Mining company, with capital of 000, was organized, and the following officers were elected T. M. Cornell, president; H. F. Rogers, vice president; l.. M. Thomas, secretary and treasurer; directors, T. M. Connell, H. F. Rogers Foster V. Brown, J. B. Ragon, w. G. NJ Thomas, R. E. Merrill and E.

 The Buckeye Republicans express great confidence in their ability to give Ex-Governor James E. Campbell. as they express it. the worst thrashing he ever experienced. Governor Campbell is los ing no sleep in consequence of the loud and vociferous claims of the members of the G. O. P. and when the day of cleo tion rolls around the Democracy of Ohio will be on hand, and by it's lively meth ods in waging an aggressive campaign prove that the strength of Governor Campbell and his friends is not to be sneezed at, even by Buckeye Republi- cans.
 Colonel Sanford says: "I do not be- lieve that the power to make legal tender rests with the general govern ment--no such power is granted in the constitution" Senator Morgan thinks differently. He says: Our laws, as they are now. secure the full legal ten der of the silver dollar and he lays particular stress upon appealing to con- gress to maintain the legal tender power of the silver dollar. A debate on this point between these two distinguished gentlemen and great constitutional law yers would prove of interest and might be instructive.

 X queer argument, that. Advise your readers to shut their eyes to the fact that times are improving in order to bolster up a waning cause? As well might the life time convict deny that liberty was a blessing to everybody else, simply be- cause on account of some crime he was justly deprived of his freedom. Any cause is hard put that is compelled to use such dog in the manager arguments to bolster it up.
