An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting

is the one perfect strengthening Z
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling n

every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening

from Palmetto, Ga. Before death
ended his sufferings his ears were
cut off and the small finger of
his left hand severed at the sec

written on paper; "New York
Journal: owe must protect our
ladies'. 1899"
The other side of the paper
contained: "Beware all darkies.
You will be treated the same
way"
Strickland protested his inno-

ployer, Maj. w. Thomas, made
an appeal for him.

the Snowman.
The money, at Jennie's re-
quest, was put up in the hands of
Col. Dick Perdue, and she sprang
over the ropes. At once the bear
assumed an erect attitude and be-
gan to dance around his antag-
onist, very much after the fash
ion of a pugllist. The fun did
not last long. Sampson made a
rush toward Jennie, and she
sprang aside like a panther and
landed blow behind the bears
foreshoulder which sent the ami
nal sprawling to the earth, and
he lay there. The people were so
surprised that they did not begin
to cheer until they saw the show
man lift up one of the bears
limp forelegs, and realized that
the triumphant giantess had end
ed the earthly career of the show
mans pet with one blow.
Upon one occasion, in prank
ish mood, she picked up one end
of an OK yoke and helped a steer
to pull big pillow across a ten
acre field, and upon another occa-
sion she dismounted from an OBJ
stinate mustang, and after tying
his legs she lifted him up on her
shoulder and carried the animal
over bridge, which he had re-
fused to cross.
She thinks nothing of catching
big, unruly COW or bull, either,
by the horns and dragging it
through gate.
A physician says she is the
most powerful human being that
he ever saw, and that bones, mus
cles and sinews are rarely found
under the skin of modern people.
Jennie claims that her strength is
constantly increasing, though she
does not gain much in weight.

San Jaeinto survivor.

Judge William Pike Tindall of
Eastland county is 81 years old,
although he looks several years
younger. He is one of the few
survivors of the battle of San
Jacinto. For one of his age he
is very vigorous. Indeed, he has
much animation about him now,
and when relating incidents of
the famous battle which made
this state independent and which
Texans glory in referring to he
moves around with little trou BILE
in fixing the lines of battle, posi-
tions of different battalions, of
fcers, etc.
The judge has great rever-
ence for the memory of Gen.
Sam Houston. He declares that
he was one of the greatest men
that ever lived, and he maintains
that he never got the credit he
was justly entitled to.
| "Few men ever lived who were
as great as Sam Houston" SAID
F., Judge Tindall, as his venerable
head shook and his long gray
beard waved.
"He was loyal and true to his
cause, and, greater still, he loved
his men," continued the judge.
"Sam Houston never kept Sc
cret from his men, and by his
men / mean his privates. He did
not have the same regard for his
officers that he had for his men
in the ranks, and for this reason
it may be that this had some
thing to do with losing at siege Of
the Alamo and the battle of Go
lad, but thank God, the rough
and rugged, true and faithful
general won the glorious victory
at San Jaclnto, and he did more
for this state than any person wht
ever lived or any one who ma.
live hereafter"
His eyes frightened up witt
the light of battle as he related
many incidents of Gen, Hous
ton. He thinks that it was OWNS
