The Horse Market.

The horse market last Tuesday was
not as largely attended as was the last
market, and there were no foreign buy
ers here. But there were good num-
ber of excellent horses shown and there
were number of sales and trades
made with local dealers.
Mr.. W. H. Coffman, of Bluefeld,
brought five thoroughbred Berkshire
boars to the market which he sold at
auction. They were splendid hogs, all
eligible for registration and were sold
at very low prices. In fact they ought
to have brought higher figures.
Those who have the horse market in
charge will have to continue to adver-
tise it. The enterprise has not been in
operation long enough to advertise
itself.

Breakfast Bacon. It's very

tempting and stimulating.
We can furnish it to you in
three styles.
In the usual strips, either
whole or by the pound. In a

package or less as you prefer.
And lastly, the famous

Our Cemeteries.

On Friday of this week (the weather
permitting) it is-hOped that a large
force will report at the old cemetery
for work. There are many families
represented in that cemetery who have
in no way contributed to the cause as
yet. Everybody can do something,
either give work or money. Both are
necessary, and we trust that this call
will bring out plenty of men. Dinner
will be provided. The work is now IN
such shape that if we can secure large
force for two or three days, the clean
ing will be done and the ground ready
for grass seed. Please help us to hurry
it along.
Since our last report VIM. Higgin-
botham, VIM. Holly, Sam Young, Alex
Dickerson, Geo. Paxton, Sam Craig,
Ed Holly, Allon Chapman and Chris
Young have given us labor, and the
wife of VIM. Holly sent a hand to work.
Again we say, if it were not for the
liberal response of the colOred citizens
our cause would suffer.
Mr.. John Yost, Mac Williams and
Mr.. Helmandollar have'given help.

NEWS is BROKEN
TO Mr.. BRYAN.
"TOO Sudden" he. Says When
Told Of Endorsement.
QUESTION OF HIS NOMINATION.
Declares II Is Too Early to Talk OF
That-Difference Between Socialism
and Democracy of Public
and Private Monopoly.

and Private Monopoly.
Berlin. June 11.-'This is too sud
den" said William ]. Bryan with a
laugh, when he was told today of the
adoption by recent State Democratic
conventions of resolutions favoring his
nomination for the Presidency Of the
United States in 1908. ''This is the
first announcement of this news to
me-" said Mr.. Bryan. 81 have been off
the main caravan route for some time,
and have been absorbed in what have
been seeing and doing"
Mr.. Bryan had been moving so rapid
ly since he left Vienna on Friday that
letters and kilograms for him did not
reach him until today.
MR.. BRYAN's COMMENT.
AS to the possibility of his nomina-
ton he had little to say, declaring it is
too early to speak of that question, but,
taking up the subject of the political
requirements of the day, he said:
Before leaving home l tried to dis
tinguish between Democracy and what
can properly be called Socialism. De-
mocracy recognizes competition as legit-
innate, and tries to protect competitive
principle from attack. Socialism sees
competition as an evil to be eliminated
by public ownership and operating OF
all means of production and distribu-
ton.
"While this distinction between De-
mocracy and Socialism should not be
overlooked, the Democratic platform
must be one of progress and reform,
and not merely of opposition to Repub-
lican policies or Socialistic ideas.
"In our fight for the absolute elm
ination of private monopolies and fol
the regulation of corporations in gen.
eral it is necessary that the party shall
be free from any suspicion Of alliance
with the corporate interests that have
been dominating American politics
To this end, campaign contributions
must be limited to those who have the
public interest to advance. l trust
that public sentiment will require al
parties to keep their books open so that
hereafter no party will be under pri-
yate obligations to shield corporate
offenders.

MONTHLY CROP BULLETIN
General Summary Of Reports for the
Month Of January, 1901

Below is summary OF the clf-
mate and crop bulletin ss.v!ce for the
month OF January. issued from the
district office OF Galveston:
Over the northeastern section OF
the state the weather was decidedly
unfavorable to farming and stock
raising interests: being severely cold.
with much rain, sleet and snow. Elk.
cessive precipitation over this sec-
ton practically stopped all farm work
and made the roads almost impassa.
bic for teaming. Over the remainder
OF the state the weather, while cool,
was generally favorable for farming
operations: there being frequent ben
eficial rains. except over portions OF
the western and southwestern sec
tions.
Cotton.-Quite an amount of cot
ton remains unpicked in the north
eastern section and a small quantity
In the central section. High winds
and wet weather have badly damaged
this staple and much OF it will be an
entire loss; not being worth the ex-
pense OF picking. In other cotton
growing districts picking is practi-
cally completed and the bulk of the
crop is ginned and marketed.
Wheat, Rye, Oats and Barley In
the northwestern section wheat, fall
oats and rye are reported in excellent
condition and better than for years
at this season. Over the eastern half
of the state small grains are not do
ing well on account of too much mois-
ture and cold weather; elsewhere ce-
real crops of all kinds are In fair
condition. Spring oats are being
seeded in most localities in the south
western, western and northwestern
sections.
Stock and Ranges.-As a rule
stock of all kinds are doing fairly
we'll, having been in prime condi-
ton at the beginning of the winter
season, but in portions of the CEN
trail and northeastern sections some
losses were reported on account of
the severity of the weather and lack
of feed. Range grass Is becoming
scarce in most sections, particularly
the northwest, where the early winter
rains rotted the grass to great ex-
tent. In the western section rain is
badly needed to revive pasturage and
| ceplenish stock water.

HINTS FOR FARMERS.


The idea that roosting on a pole or
roosts causes crooked breast bones iu
young poultry has become an explod.
ed theory. One experienced poultry
raiser tells US that after great deal OF
investigation he has found that crook,
ed breast bones result from the lack Of
proper bone building food and not
from roosting on perch. Last year
he conducted little experiment Of his
own.
One pen OF pure bred Plymouth
Rocks was fed ration OF bone and
meat meal mixed with other feed once
a day and another pen was given nc
bone building food. Both pens had
roosts, while third pen was without
roosts and was fed no bone building
food. The pen that received the bnne
meal showed no signs of crooked
breast bones, while the majority Of the
other two pens were affected. He con
cludes that it Is bone food and not the
absence Of roosts that keeps the breast
bone straight-Chicago Inter Ocean.

PASTEUR INSTITUTE.


Austin. Ten. Fee s.-n.. q "
Torsham. superintendent OF the state
insane asylum, who was at the capitol
the other day on business with the
state purchasing agents department,
stated that few people appear to I'M
derstand the real purpose OF the Pas
teur institute which il attached to
the asylum and is under the super
vision OF Superintendent Worsham.
He declared that most people think
that the institution Is to cure people
afflicted with hydrophobia, when in
fact not one person in a thousand af-
flic:ei with that disease ever recoy-
ers. The purpose OF the institution
Is to prevent the development OF hy-
drophobia by persons bitten by mad
dogs or other such animals. He said
that hydrophobia was the most fatal
disease he knew OF and patient thus
afflicted rarely II ever RECEIVERS.
Speaking of the progress OF the in
stitution DR.. Worsham declared that
thus far it has been with great sue
cess. az out OF the 40 patients treat
ed at the institution, every case has
been successful. DR.. Worsham said
that paratively few people in the
state knew the existence Of the Pas
teur institute In Texas.
Il venture to say said DR.. Wor-
sham, that not one-half Of the peo-
pie of Travis county know that there
is such thing as Pasteur institute
connected with the state insane asy-
lum." The fee charged is $25, which
is normal, and is practically nothing
when it is compared to the fees of
from $3.50 to $500 charged by these
institutions in Chicago, New York
and other large cities in the country.
