ATE Raw FLESH,

Some days ago there appeared on
our streets strange character,
known as the Wild Man from the
Rio Grande. He had been seen
occasionally by ranch men and
hun ters in the remote part of the
county, but not til now has he ven
tured to come out, When he came
into town he remarked that he
was hungry, whereupon he was
given some raw beef and to the
surprise Of everyone began to devour
it uncooked. His diet has been for
several years mesquite beans and
l. les and what other things
le.4 H. lis way. His clothing was
tattered and his bed consisted of a
few hides strapped to his back.
From all appearances the man is
deranged. He is about 45 years
of age.
We learn that the unknown is
camped near town, and that he has
been supplied with clothing and
food. However he will not tarry
long as he is bound for California

THE REASON FOR IT.

Historic Goliad has done away
with her city incorporation and is
now merely part of the broad ter
ritory Of the country without the
city fathers. The doing away with
the incorporation was movement
on the part Of the white property
owners. One-half of the voters OF
the town were negroes; they owned
but little property, but always
voted solidly for heavy taxes for
school purposes and were getting
the full benefit of modern educa-
ton for their children without cost
and were always combined to put
the most disreputable men into Of
flee. This has gone on for a
lengthy period and the white folks
got tired and worked together and
did away with the city government
entirely.
Messrs. J. H. Wharton and Will
liam Bergman, well known oiti-
xens of GOlliad were here this week
and stated that.the place would be
re-inoerporated, but the locality
holding the negroes would be left
outof the limits and it would be
strictly a white mans place in the
-uture. Those acquainted with

his head all bloody. Mr.. Foster
did not think much of the matter
at the time, but prepared to go out
on his run as usual. Beam was

Women make very good landlords,
but beware of the woman who owns on
" one house. She regards it as the ap.

out on an errand or takes her constitu-

the shutters, the front door and the area.
Her accustomed eye knows every scratch,
and she is prepared to resist to the ut

tiers or to paint the front door,
She regards her tenant as her natural
enemy, and cannot understand why she
may not enter her own property when
ever she has mind.
But she is cheerfully prompt OH rent

Most Popular Novels.

The novel or story which has probably
enjoyed the largest term Of popularity
is Robinson Crusoe," by Daniel Defoe.
published in 17l9. This novel attained
great popularity from its first appear
ance and is one Of the very few that
have continued to be popular down to
the present day, or for more than IT'S
years. Defoe died April "a, 1881. The
next most popular works Of fiction were
the Waverley novels Of Sir Walter Scott.
published in 18l4-1e31. So successful
have these novels been from then till
now that no fewer than 30 men have
been uninterruptedly engaged by one
Edinburgh firm for the last quarter Of a
century in producing them. OF Harriet
Beecher Stoves novel, "Uncle Toms
Cabin" published in 1851, more than
a million copies in English have been
