a part of their visit will be spent
at Point Isabel. Mr.. Alexander
was at one time business man of
Matamoros, being engaged in
wholesale merchandise. He left
here in 1866 but has been back sew
eral tines'.since on visits to rel
atives and friends. It is safe to
say he finds many changes in both
Brownsville AMI Matamoros. M.
Alexander reports the cotton pros
pect good in the Victoria section,
but says corn was cut little short
by dry weather. Railroad build
ding is under way from Victoria to
O'Connorport, and Mr.. Alexander
thinks the extensions proposed
will be of great aid to Victoria.
The old Lott grade is to be used,

THE HERALD learns from Judge
Hood, late of Weatherford, that he
has purchased several tracts of
land up the river twelve miles,
aggregating about 100 acres. He
will leave soon for Weatherford to
close up his affairs there, and tells
Us he will then return, build e
residence on his new purchase and
make his home on the Rio Grande.
Judge Hood will engage in general
farming but will not dip very deep
into truck growing at present. He
will give special attention to corn
and cotton. THE HERALD well
comes Judge and Mrs. Hood to
this section and feels sure they
have made TO mistake in the selec-
ton of location. The land pur-
chased has a good river frontage
and he will put in a pumping 1laGt
sufficient for all purposes Judge
Hood expects to cleay about 200
acres the first season.

was enjoyed by a small party yes
terday afternoon, when, with the
kind permission of F. B. Arm
strong, the naturalist, a visit was
made to see his collection of snakes
and other wild animals near the
cemetery. The snake pens were
first inspected, and a never to be
forgotten sight was the rattlesnake
pen, where over a hundred of these
venomous serpents wriggled and
writhed about, or lay in sluggish
content digesting their evening
meal. Many of them are of i'm
mense size, and, in fact, nearly all
were quite large. There were also
quite a number of black snakes in
adjacent pens. The collection of
birds includes some very handsome
owls, herons, pelicans, famingoes,
etc, which were well worth seeing.
A most interesting feature of the
collection is the wild cats, of which
Mr.. Armstrong has several beauti-
full specimens. A fox, a coyote, an
armadillo and a beaver also consti-
tute members of this strange col
ony. All are securely guarded in
cages of wire netting. Mr.. Arm
strong is constantly shipping these
wild animals TO various museums
or geological gardens throughout
the country, and he keeps a num-

Congressman Adams, man

shoots himself because, 1st. He
cannot pay his debts. 2nd. He

What did he gain by killing
himself?
Committing suicide did not
help his creditors any. Had he
lived and tried he might have
been able to pay his debts. In
the grave where he is gone there
is nothing doing. He forfeited
all chance and made nothing
right. He lost everything and
gained ignominy.
His second reason is no bet ter.
No doubt he was tired Of life

really know what life is or what

"IrOnble in Lancaster"
DR.. Gardner on the Recent
Baker Mare Episode.

From the Greenwood Journal.
Our good friend, Editor 9. L.
Connors, Of The News, relates a
most thrilling experience with
an old gray mare in that city one
day last week. The old lady got
frightened, and ran away with a
wagon loaded with barrels OF
water. 1t seems that she had
two comely mule colts, and as
the old mare flew down the
street, Billy Buck" heard the
colts that were following in the
wake of their excited dame use
profane words. Mr.. Connors says:
"Those colts have not been
seen in town since, and, so far
as we know, they may be still
running"
Since this sudden outbreak
over in Lancaster we learn that
Editor Connors had two mules
killed by lightning. Mayhap they
are the profane young mules TO
which he refers, or else it may
be that his mules had learned
the bad habit and called down
upon their heads a bolt from the
skies.
When we lived in Lancaster,
years ago, we knew that there
were some two legged profane
animals in that part of the coun-
try, but we never heard Of any
mules that had fallen into the
habit.
Our friend had better invoke
Balaam's ass to reprove the mad
ness of men and animals in old
Lancaster who are going to the
bad. We are sure that he will
do what he can 10 check them,
and that BILLY Buck" will
second his efforts most courage
ously.

He was only pale bookkeeper,

"1ou're too late," said Maud,
with a pretty pout, as George
dashed into the room with fire
in his eye that the blood on his
face could not dim.
"What-where is he?" he
gasped, looking around, with an
awful faintness at the heart.

not remember who picked up
the roll.
