UNDER OATH.
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR DIR. Nc
LEHMAN

The State of Texas,
County of Dewitt, Before me,
Lee Joseph, notary public, in and
for said county, State 1fTexas, this
day personally came and appeared
Mr.. John McCloskey to me well
known, and who, after being by
me duly sworn, did deposo and
say:
ut is the duty of man to pre-
serve his life; not only by supply
ing his bodily wants, but by guard
ing against needless injury and
destuction-against disease and ac-
dent. He must do this himself; he
cannot expect others to do it for
him. Every man is by the consti-
tuition of his nature, ip an impor-
tant sense, his own guardian; he is
to look after his own interests, and
attend to his own wants. No one
else can do this for him. His own
life and safety are of vastly more
consequence to him than anyone
else, Ii he is too negligent or in
dolent, or cowardly, to protect his
own life and person, be is false to
himself, and consequently to his
larhily, to society, to the state and
to his Maker. Hence, fla man is
sick, it is his duty to do everything
in his power to become we'll aggin.
He should employ the very best
physician that he can find. But
here the question arises, how is he
to know who is the best physician;
for doctors, like the rest of human
ity. are of different grades, some are
laborers in dieguise, others born
physicians? Since the invalid can
not afford to find out by expert
ment who is the best physician, ho
must receive the testimony others.
Firmly believing that 1 know such
y man, consider it my solemn
duty TO give my testimony. I
therefore relate my experience un-
der oath that there nay be no
doubt as to the truthlulness of the
facts.

The East St. Louis Horse Market.

The total receipts of horses and
mules at st. Louis the first four days
Of this week are 1871 head and the
shipments 1,447 head sgaint S,507 head
received and 2,OlS head shipped during
the first four days last week and 4,027
head received and 3,l5S head shipped
the same periO two weeks ago.
The weekly review letter of the
Western Sale Stables Company, Ma
tionsl Stock Yards, ILL.,, says that
there was very little improvement In
the horse market. Receipts have been
light, extra good, smooth, fat Southern
horses have sold q little better but
there Is no improvement In the general
market. Eastern market reports show
heavy receipts and low prices, with un'
favorable weather for business In the
South. In the face of this condition
this company had very few horses un.
sold and q better feeling is expected
soon. Light receipts and no improve
ment are the conditions In the mule
market. There Is q fair demand for
mules in good hair and flesh, l416 to l5
hands and up. There is no market for
rough, green or thin mules. If any
information Is desired in regard to the
horse and mule market there is no
better place to which to apply than to
this firm.
