An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liql.d laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
20 overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
~dste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

LAID The LASH On LIVELY.
BLACK RASCAL PUNISHED FOX
MS INSOLENCE.
Mr.. Elmore jolly CseS Leather Bug
CIV Trace on Negro VINO
Frightened His Wife.

Asa result of his insolent conduct
there is one negro in this section VINO
is nursing a sore and bruised body
caused by the energetic application OF
leather buggy trace to his anatomy,
the said trace being in the hands OF an
infatuated young husband whose wife,
in his absence, had been grossly insult
ed and badly frightened by the black
rascal.
WednesdaymOrning Mr.. Gilmore Jol-
ly, manager Of the Dawson Bottllng
Works, left his home at Graves Station
to come to Dawson for his days work,
and there was no one left on the place
except his wife, the servants and other
members OF the household having gone
to attend to their round OF duties.
Mrs Jolly experienced no fear at all
and no trouble of any kind was appre-
hended from any source, as several
neighbors lived near and an unusually
good and reliable class of negroes IN"
habited the community
Early in the morning while engaged
at the sewing machine Mrs. Jolly no
ticed a strange negro approaching from
the front gate The negro came up, and,
walking ia the front door without any
ceremony, went through the hall out
on the back porch to the water bucket,
where he picked up the dipper and
took a drink of water. He then walk
ed back into the hall and seated HIM
self in chair, remarking to Mrs. jolly
as he did so, 81 never was so hot in my
life; bring me fan"
Mrs. Jolly, who up to this time was
so completely paralyzed with astonlsh-
ment and fright, recovered her pres
ence of mind and told the black scoun-
drel to get out of her house, or she
would make him leave. The negro did
not seem disposed to pay any attention
to her remark, but about this time
Miss Burge, young lady who lives IN
neighborhood, was seen coming up the
the road and he hastily took his de-
parture.
Upon the return of Mr.. jolly from
his work that afternoon he was told
by his wife of the occurrence and of
the conduct of the negro The
negro was a stranger IN the neigh
borhood, but an accurate description
was given of him by Mrs. Jolly, and
the next day Mr.. Jolly began a quiet
search for the insolent scoundrel. A
negro answering to the description
was found in Dawson Thursday morn
ing, and under pretense of hiring him
Mr.. Jolly got him in buggy and carr
ried HIM out to his home, where he was
positively identified by Mrs. Jolly.
Upon being identified the negro ac-
knowledged having been there the day
before. and was at once told by Mr..
Jolly to unstrip for some muscular eX>
ercise on his bare anatomy. a buggy
trace was taken loose and applied to
his person in manner so thorough
that it will be long time before he
forgets the lesson SO feelingly taught
him.
The negro gave his name as jim
Johnson, and appeared to he about IS
years of age. lie claimed Smithville
as his home, and has not been seen
since receiving the lash.
Mr.. Jolly's action is commended by
all who have heard of the occurrence.

ernor Johnston today granted parole

ons, was married to an attractive
young school teacher who had been
teaching near the prison, she tearing
herself away from home and friends to
wed che man she loved. She has since
resided IN Georgia with his parents.
Governor Johnston wrote on the pa
pers in the case these words:
ga great number of good citizens,
including all the city officials of the
city of Montgomery, petition for this
mans pardon. He has rendered valu-
able service to the state. He attended
yellow fever cases IN the city OF Mont
gomery on parole during an epidemic
there with fidelity. For these reasons,
and on account of his health, and be-
cause of the distressed condition of his
wife, let the parole issue to him on
condition that he shall leave the state
and never become resident thereof"
The Endorsement was signed by the
governor.

THE LARGEST RANCH.

The y. l. Il. ranch, in the extreme
northwest corner Of the panhandle Of
Texas, the largest ranch in the world,
has an area OF 5000 square miles, ac-
cording 10 the Ladies' Home Journal.
It's herds OF cattle aggregate 10000
head, besides 1900 horses, and the calf
crop branded in 1897 exceeded $1,000.
Surprising as it may seem, all the work
on the ranch is done by l25 men, one
man 10 every $4,000 acres.
1t seems natural that the largest
ranch In the world should be found in
the largest state in the union-Texas.
Indeed. this ranch is 80 extensive that
some states could not contain IL. Con-
necticut, for example, could not hold ii
by several thousand acres. The two
states of Rhode Island and Delaware
combined could not contain this inn
mense ranch, which consists of 3,O0O,0O
acres. or about 5000 square miles.
About a dozen years ago, when Texas
needed a new state capitol, the legisla-
ture adopted a novel plan to get II. n
promise was held forth that vast
tract OF unappropriated land would bt
given i'm exchange for a suitable gran
lite building at Austin. Among those
tempted by this offer were ex-senator
Charles Is. F'arwell and his brother
John, who ultimately formed syndi-
cate I'm Chicago and took upon them
selves the responsibility or erecting th'
proposed capitol. Their part of the
agreement appears to have been car
rled out to the satisfaction of the stan
and in due time they came into th'
possession OF the immense domain
known az the y. / IT. ranch.
