TAKE COURAGE. ROBINSON.

DR.. Robinson, editor of the
Grapeland Messenger, makes this
despairing wall:
ga little, one-6orse, country ed
itor trying to inject life into a
dead town is a sight calculated to
make even the gods weep. We
always admired man of grit, but
blame fellow who hasn't sense
enough to back of when he makes
head-end collision with brick
wall. We love the strenuous life
and enjoy the battle, even though
the odds are against us, but we
have always tried to avoid the i'm
possible. About the best thing a
fellow can do when a town dies on
him, if he has energy enough left,
is to pick up and walk to the
nearest living town and begin life
over again. It's better to be dead
broke, sick abed and in Jail in
good, live town than to own two
thirds of the real estate and be
lord mayor of one of those NUM-
cipal corpses. Speaking reverent-
ly, the one thing Christ never I'M
dertook while on earth, was to
resurrect or regenerate dead
town. He raised dead men and
restored them to health, but when
he looked on Jerusalem, dead to
every good and noble purpose, he
only wept. There are towns all
over the country as dead as Jefu-
salem was, or ever will be, yet
men are making frantic efforts to
revive them-trying to do what
Christ would not undertake.

The Banner thinks it high time
that the Tyler Courier should call
off its attack upon Hon. John H..
Reagan. That grand old COM
moner's record as public SER
want has passed into history, and
for the Courier to attack it is as
futile as the attack of a bolo-man
upon one of Uncle Sans IRON
clads. Furthermore it must be
tiresome to the Courier's readers
to hear the same old string sawed
upon sooften. Call off Col. Green,
you might as well attempt to
quench a bursting volcanoes flame
with the ink you use or obscure
from the earth the light of the
sun with the "spoutings" of your
cheroot as to try to assault the
record and belittle the character

BUSINESS JUST THE SAME.

The Jacksonville Meteor, pub
lishede at at the The cc---ts seat OF Ma.,i
son county, the county that joins
Leon on the west, and in the very
heart of the boil weevil country,
sings this song of prosperity:
"No doubt that last Saturday
was the biggest ever in the COM
mercial history of jacksonville.
All day long the square was block
ed with teams and vehicles, and
the sidewalks jammed with peo-
pie. An endless stream of wagons
unloaded many bales of the feecy
staple at the cotton platform,
while the seed buyers had all they
could do to weigh their purchases
and pay for them. The merchants
all did good business, and it was
a tired set of clerks that put their
legs under the supper table that
night"
If that is true condition in
jacksonville, then surely there
must be something more than the
boil weevil the matter with some
other sections.

Ladies and Children Invited.

All ladies and children who cannot
stand the shocking strain of laxative
syrups, carthartics, etc., are invited to
try the famous Little Early Risers.
They are different from all other pills.
They do not purge the system. Even
a double dose will not grippe, weaken
or sicken; many people call them the
Easy Pill. w. Ii. Howell, Houston,
Tex, says nothing better can be used
for constipation, sick headache, etc.
Bob Moore, Lafayette, Ind, says all
others grippe and sicken, while De-
Wits Little Early Risers do their
work well and easy. Sold by Avenue

strengthens the material of which
men are made, and separates the
good ore from the dross. Any
man is strong enough to ride a
boat down the stream, but it takes
another kind to pull up stream.
You don't know who nor what
your neighbor is until you see him
tried. Pure gold comes from the
furnace after trial.
Beloved, if you have thought of
running away from trouble, think
again and don't do it. But put
up hope and muscle against de-
spair and a journey. There is a
way out. The Creator has said so.
Cut down expenses, tell the old
woman that the boil weevil is a
little old two-eyed chinch, and
that you are going to slap him a
slap that will make him feel as
small as a fifty cent piece of ba-
con bought on a mortgage ac-
count. Be sensible, be manly, be
hopeful, and sooner than you know
you will be out of this trouble,
and still have your home here
among friends in the best country
God ever gave man to live in.
Don't run away. Trouble can
give you big start and then beat
you running all hollow.

ruly the mother of invention and

truly the mother of invention and
progress. And, again, if there
were no cares, no disappointments
and no trouble in life, men, in the
confidence of their own strength
and power, would forget, in time,
that there is a God. This is a
fact borne out by common sense
and all history. When men are
in trouble they usually get good.
The court records of our own
county and city this year will bear
me witness to this fact. Riotous
living produces disorder. Hard
times, the need of money, a place
for every dollar, promotes good
order. You are not cutting up"
as much now as you would be do
ing if you had a surplus of simol-
cans. Honestly?
1t is common story of the sea
that when the waters rock the ship
in a lullaby and the passage is
fair, the crew and passengers are
light hearted and care free, but
when the waters lash the boat and
throw the fury of their tempest
across her decks, and roar their
disorder across the mighty deep,
the boats people fall to praying.
Few of them are as calm as the
Jew who, in consoling his COM
panion who bemoaned that the
boat was going to sink, said with
a pardonable degree of satisfac-
ton, Vat do we care: id amt

A LAY SERMON.
BY HAMILTON HAMILTON.
{ Little wot We wha's coming"

"+ Little wot We wha's coming"
In all ages of the world men
have been trying to run away from
trouble. But its no use. Ever
since Adam created the first dis
turbance i'm the Garden of Eden,
trouble has been part of mans
estate. You had as well try to
run away from life as to get away
from trouble. 1t is not a local
complaint, but broad as the world
is. Every land has its share, and
every generation and every family
gets its portion.
We people who are being enter
tanned by the continuous perform
ance of the boil weevil, which
works day and night to do his evil,
haven'tgot monopoly on trouble,
and you who are discouraged and
down in the mouth, and want to
move away and get rid of this
trouble, had better sit down quiet
" and ask yourself seriously,
where can / go? The railroads
don't run out of troubles domain
nor is it lost beyond the seas.
In its final analysis, trouble is
not so bad thing. In the first
place it is only temporary. Never
was a storm so violent, clouds so
ominous, but that it cleared up
and the sun came out again.
And, again, if it were not for
trouble there would be no proved
characters. And, again, if men
had no difficulties to surmount
there would be no progress in the
worlds methods, for necessity is

The fertility of the soil at this
place is remarkably well adapted
to the cultivation of that luscious
commodity, and the making of
syrup affords employment to
vast number of hands for several
weeks. The good housewives
prepare picnic dinner every
day, and it is sight worth seeing
when it is spread on an impromptu
table and the hungry fellows par
take of the good things galore.
The Gibson Brothers have sew
eral acres of cane to make up this

for chewing.
The singing at Mr.. Gibson's
last Saturday night was a most
unprecedented success. Quite a

the old ones, tOo), were present,
and were well entertained. Most

Silk Culture for Women.

Silk culture is the newest work for
women, and promises to become a ma
tional industry. Women who have
household duties to perform and yet
have spare time find the occupation
both pleasant and profitable. 1t may
be carried on in almost any home and
at small outlay.
To interest women more widely in
this enterprise and encourage the silk
industry in America, the United States
department of agriculture has appoint
ed Miss Henrietta Aiken Kelly, Of
Charles ton, S. c., as it's special agent.
She will prepare simple text books
treating of the cultivation Of the null
berry tree and the rearing of the silk
worm.
Many women have already taken UP
this pleasant occupation. In Los An
geles much progress has been made.
A club Of women has been formed and
has published a book of instructions
pointing out the superiority of silk
culture to positions in shops and other
poorly paid lines Of work. A New
York silk manufacture has offered to
pay the highest market price for the
greater part of the silk output of the
Los Angeles club.
Last year one California woman
raised nine crops Of cocoons. A Wash
ington family raised more than $4,000
worms last spring. These figures, as
compared with those of European pro-
duction. indicate the great possibilities
Of the industry in America. The ex-
periments of the government entomo-
logists at Washington have shown that
it is possible to raise Silkworm- CO.

lions of the country.

potentate conferred upon the million

star compared to the favors Mrs. Goelet
has received from the German emperor
and his wife? We may see the order
among Mrs. Goelet's jewels at the

never has been as conspicuous as her
sister in-law, Mrs. Ogden Goelet, and
since the death Of her daughter Be-
atrice she has been more quiet than
ever. She comes of the Warrens, for
whom Warren street was named. Her

of New York at a time when the Goe-
lets were not known.
Mrs. Goelet was presented to the

now, for her husband and daughter

Wilmington, Del, had an important

law, since 1889, but thus far only one
woman has been a acandidate, and very
few women have taken the trouble to
go to the polls. II. rs estimated that
out Of 500 women who are qualified
to vote not more than twenty-five or
thirty have ever appeared at an cleo
ton. The school election which took
place had a serious aspect. The old
school board was up. for reelection,
and many of the best element among
the men were opposing them in each
of the twelve wards OF the city. Their
policy and methods have been very
severely criticised in the last two

defeat them. 1t Is to be hoped that

The shapes of parasols and sun
