Farmers In Frio County Not Favor
able to Cotton.
Pearsall, Texas, Dec. 9.-H. B. Barn
hart, of Austin, who is quite an ex-
tensive land owner in this county, is
having some 400 acres cleared for the
purpose of farming. He says he does
not believe in planting much cotton,
but in variety of crops instead. He
does not believe there is any money in
cotton alone but that a little cotton,
along with other things, pays much
better than cotton alone. He says he
intends to have everything raised on
his lands that there is any money to
be made in, and SO not have to de-
pend on cotton alone. He also an
ticipates establishing a hog ranch in a
short time. Mr.. Barnhart's opinion
as to cotton seems to be prevalent a.
mong the farmers of this county and
in all probability the acreage in cot
ton will be reduced considerably next
year as compared with that of this,
and that of corn and other products
increased.

The Boy Was a Caution. .

No doubts you have seen boys in your
day and time that had reglar gal look.
Well, il was the same way with little
Jimmie. Seems to me like about all
that kept him from bein girl was
wool hat gone to seed, and red jeans
breeches, and n set of homemade gal
luses, instid of blue checkered dress
and pink sunbonnet. He was so pale
and tallow-faceted till bless gracious
could see the blue veins under his skin,
his hands so little and white and thin
till I could mighty nigh see through
them, and his arms and legs was
swelled up so till they looked like piPe
stems. But Jimmy maintained from
the start that he was a thoroughbred
American boy, and able and willin to
Go boys part till he growed some
more and could call himself man.
And, by gatlins, he stood his ground
and fought il out on them lines. When

When little Jimmy was 13 past, Ii

TO jump and wiggle powerful at first,
like one of those old Jacksnappers with
string tied to his leg. But il want
so very long before he worked his hand
in and got the hang of it, and tLen u
was smooth and easy sailin.
At IA that stray orphant boy could
plow a straight furrow and put as n ucf,
fresh dirt behind him in day as any
man, white or black, in the settlement.
We would give him a little schoolin
in the winter and then turn him loose
on the farm. Things rocked along

old, and right smart chunk of a boy
He was now runnin up and fillin out and

About that time ] made another trade

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Court House Destroyed.

One night last week the courthouse of
Lake county was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was given and the
residents of the town responded prompt
ly and made an earnest effort and hard
sight to save the building, but as it was
frame structure all efforts proved fu-
tile, and in an hour what was once
known as the temple of justice lay
smouldering ruin and heap of burned
ashes. 1t is an unquestionable fact
that the fire was the work of an incen-
diary, as there was no probable way for
1t to have become ignited without the
assistance of the fend who did it. 1t
is thought il was set on fire by some one
indicted and to be tried by the present
term Of the circuit court, and 1T was the
object of the incendiary to burn the
records of the court and escape punish
ment. The circuit court justice lay
smouldering ruin and day were saved,
and but few and only those of very
old years were lost. The records of the
county court were partly saved. but
most of them were destroyed. The
records of the chancery court were
wholly destroyed.

The first Family TaIIe.

i remember the same rs il IL was yes
terday how little Jimmy looked the first
mornin he showed up at our house look
In for "somethin to do and summers to
stay" as he was wont to tell it. He was
about the sorriest and most seediest
lookin customer that was ever turned
out in these parts. He was so scandlous
pale and slim and puny and sickly APP
pearin TIL it made me feel rale sorry
about somethin to look at him.
"Hello Busterl" says /. did a stray
wind blow you up, or did you jest drap
down? How far have you come since
you passed the last mile post this side
of home?"
"If you please, mister" says he, 81
amt got no home, and / am lOokin for
some thin to do and summers to stay"
"You don't look big and strong
enough to make a reglar field hand" l
went on to say as I sized the youngster
up. 81 am s1eered you mOught maybe
dry up on the stem, or blow away or
turn to somcthin good TO eat. Maybe
your ma don't put enough salt in your
dirt"
81 amt got no ma" says he, and
the next miDnit there was tecars
backed up in his eyes. and from where
was blamed if they didn't look most
as big as glass marbles TO me. Then
got sorry right away for what I had
spoke and the way in which / spoke it,
cause if there is anything in this vain
and wicked world which do love next
to little girls 1t is little boys. Coin out
to the gate took him by the hand,
and then presently we was restin on
the front door steps havin a private
family talk amongst ourselves.
dassent ask him about his pa for
fears it mought break him up again
and start him Off into another cryin
spell. But tarectly he up and told me,
free gratis, for nothin, rs it were, that
he never did, have no pa so fur as he
knows of. The first thing he knowed
he was iivin in town with his ma, but
seein how the country was the best
place for poor folks, they moved out
10 the old Grimes farm, where they lived
and got along right tolerable we'll till

MALVERN, ARK,
Nearly Wiped Out bya Fire of Inccndiary
Origin.

Origin.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 19.-The
town of Malvern, Ark, at the junction
Of the Hot Springs railway, was almost
entirely wiped out by fire at an early
hour this morning.
Malvern was a little city of about
5000 inha bitants, the business portion
of the place being clustered around the
railroad station. All this section was
destroyed, only three business houses
remaining.
The total loss is variously estimated
at from 5000, 600 to $500, 900, only a
small portion of which is covered by
insurance. The burned buildings in
clude the railroad depot, two hotels
the bank and all the principal business
houses of the place.
The fire is without doubt the result
of a plot to destroy the stown. The
blaze broke out about midnight in
three different places, and as there
was no apparatus, the fire burned it
self out. Four men are under arrest,
charged with starting the fire, and the
people OF the town are in such state
of excitement that there is strong
probability that the incendiaries will
be summarily dealt with.

A CRUSHING DEFEAT.

SPANISH Troops Entrapped Into an AM
bush and Slaughtered Like Sheep In =
Pen-FOurteen Oficers Among the Three
Hundred SpanIards Killed and Wounded
Gen. IncIan Captured and TO be Held
as Hostage.
New YORK, July 2O.-A Herald spe-
cial from Key West, Fla, says: The
Spaniards, under Gen. Suarez Inclan,
have sustained crushing defeat at the
hands of the insurgents under Antonio
Maceo, according to advices received
by the Cuban revolutionary leaders in
this city Not only was Inclan's col
umn defeated with heavy loss, but the
Cuban leaders are informed that it is
currently reported in Havana that the
Spanish general himself was captured
and is now held as a prisoner by Maceo.
The battle is said to have occurred on
July IS, near Maceo's stronghold in the
province of Pinar del Rio
For the last two weeks the insur-
gents have been very aggressive, and
small parties have repeatedly attacked
the trocha, causing the Spaniards
much annoyance. Gen. 1nclan was
ordered to drive back these detached
bands of insurgents, and for this pur-
pose took with him 1000 men.
Maceo seems to have expected such
a move and arranged to ambush the
Spaniards. The Spaniards followed
the insurgent skrimishers incautious-
ly an d fell into the ambush. Then
the Cubans opened fire from all sides,
which threw the Spaniards into con-
fusion. While the Spaniards were
thus disordered, the Cubans charged,
completely routing their foes. Gen.
Inclan made desperate effort to rally
his demoralized forces, but was sur
rounded by Cubans and compelled to
surrender.
1t is stated in Havana, according to
the revolutionists here, that the Span.
iards were pursued almost to the
trocha, and lost more than three hun
dred men killed and wounded. There
were IA officers among the killed. Gu
bans here also say Maceo will hold
Inclan as hostage to save the lives
of prominent insurgent officers who
have been captured by the Spaniards,
and who are being held at Havana and
other points momentarily expecting
death.

SOUTHERN GLEANlNGS.


Mary Snodgrass, white, was hanged
at Coeburn, Va, for the murder of her
three weeks-old child. Pikeville was
the home of the Snodgrass woman, but
she was run out of the county on nc
count of her immoral character. She
went to Coeburn six months ago, and
had been there but few days when
she was arrested for numbering her
child.
The mother tried in various ways to
get some one to take the child, but
could not. One night negro woman
living next door to her heard the child
screaming, and wentup near the house
to fnd the cause of the crying. After
Iwhile she noticed an unusual guam
tity of smoke issuing from the Chin
ney, and she rushed in to see what was
the matter. Upon entering the door
she found the child had been placed in
the fire, and the mother was sitting
composedly in chair pressing 1t to
the flames with large shovel.
She was lodged in jail, and the
promise of speedy trial by the Off
cials kept her from being lynched.
Her parents live in Pike county, Va,
and are respectable people. She was
81, and had deserted her husband, who
was cruel to her, it is said.

left the yard, put on full steam and
let the engine run. While running
at a terrific speed the rails spread

and after the engine had jumped along
on the cross ties for distance it turned
over on its side. Engineer Hawkins
was caught under part of the engine

A Working Candidate.

Suppose all the candidates in Georgia
were made by Judge Hart's mettle?
says the Atlanta Constitution. When
the judge cast his vote recently he
went into the country on private busi-
ness. While riding along he saw an
industrious farmer cutting grain by
the roadside, of whom he asked if he
was not going to the polls. NO" said
he, my crop needs me and l can not
leave" Whereupon the gallant and
patriotic judge dismounted and asked
him to take his horse, ride to town and
vote, while he himself labored in his
stead. When the farmer returned the
sweat upon the face of his honor and
the sheaves he had gathered plainly
told he had kept his promise. That's
the kind of candidate who works his
way"
