The readers of this paper will be
pleased 70 learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Oatarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires constl-
tutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer one Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of tes-
timonials.

GENERAL SUBJECTS

THE HERALD was shown some fine
peanuts this morning by James H.
Edwards, which he had gathered
on the plantation of Sheriff John
Closner at Hidalgo. These are the
first peanuts ever raised near Hi
dalgo and the experiment has
proved entirely satisfactory. They
are unusually large, well matured
and have q fine flvaor. These are Of
no choice variety, but just simply
goober peas, as Mr.. Edwards said;
and he, being "a goober grabbler, ="
ought to know. OF course, we knew
that peanuts would do well on the
Rio Grande, but still it is consider
able satisfaction to have occular
proof OF ones beliefs. Fortunes have
been made by raising peanuts for
the market, and the Rio Grande
valley is the best place in the un
iverse to raise them.

fustria's SoIdier-Like Emperor.

The Austrian emperor private
l:ie is characterized by soldierlike
simplicity" SAYS writer i'll the
Westminster Gazette. He is an
early, riser, a hard worker, and
seldom attends theatres or other
places of amusement. Shooting and
hunting are still his principal recre-
atoms. and this doubtless accounts
for the excellent health which he
continues TO enjoy. All who ap-
proach him on matters OF business
admire his inexhaus,ible patience
and perfect good humor, his frank
ness and strict regard for truth. to-
gether with his marvellous memory
and facility in grashping details. In
money matters the emperors liber-
atty is princely. and his munih-
cence, especially where the poor are
concerned, is proverbial. Il may
not be so well known that he is an
excellant craftsman, and in his
younger days was a prolific carica-
turist. The emperor is also fond OF
building. He has created and sup
ported whole school OF architects,
and such things as the magnificent
boulevard OF the Austrian capital
and some of the additions to the
palaces in Vienna and Budapest will
worthily preserve his fame in this
regard"

Cheap Rates to the Panhan-
die

For the purpose of enlarging
the Public's knowledge of the
true conditions holding in North
west Texas-(The Panhandle)-
"The Denver Road" has put in
effect round trip party home
seekers rates to points along its
line. These rates are upon a
basis of one fare for the round
trip for parties of five or more
persons travelling together on
one ticket, and carry the privi-
lege of stop-overs at pleasure at
all points North of and includ-
ing Vernon, Texas; passengers
being allowed a limit of 80 days
in which TO return.
In view Of the fact that the
Panhandle is enjoying the most
rapid growth of any section OF
Texas. for which there is ample
reason, this move upon the part
of "The Denver Road" is wise
one and will doubtless result in
the splendid agricultural and
business opportunities of that
section becoming better known
and appreciated within a very
short period of time. This sec
ton of Texas abounds in re.
sources and the land, being still
available at very low prices, is
now being rapidly taken up.
