PISGAH.

Is about over. The immense amount
OF guano that the papers say is
bought Is not all going under cotton.
Corn will receive its full share and If
this Is a good crop year more corn
will be raised than in some time. Buy
ing tags Is not full evidence of the
number of tons bought for many
people have found punches of tags In
car boxes unused and in bags Of
guano. IL our big planters would
raise corn to supply the merchants
they would have no trouble in selling
IL. for our home-raised corn is far
superior to any western corn. Old
folks say that the country supplied
the towns before the war and / don't
see why II can't be done again. But
not much likelihood OF Ii as long as
the cotton crop continues, which Is
the pot OF gold at the rainbow always
sought. but never found. The dry
weather Is injuring the young gar
dens very much. oats need rain very
much. Those who want to put soda
on theirs can't do so until 1t rains
and 1t will soon be too late for that.
OF all the candidates for governor
announced so far Mr.. Manning stands
the best chance, and no doubt, will be
our next governor. He will make q
good governor and the farmers will
have In him a good friend to their
interest.
The candidates are abroad in the
land. We will have to get dry Joe"
to tell US how the warm handshakes
feel and warm greetings. His verse
OF poetry fits their case we'll. Some
candidates have 50 low opinion of
their fellow men as to think that a
little taffy will win votes. Away with
all such.
One OF the best laws ever enacted
by the legislature was punishment for
giving fraudulent checks. Our good
friend. G. T.. Stubs was the author
OF Il. and In II he did more for his
State than many who have served
for years. 1t will save many an inno-
cent man from a rascal and sharper.

riage OF Miss Elizabeth Vermelle

Easter was observed by all the

resurrection of Christ closing with

organize a posse. which they raised In
short order. This posse followed the
track of Lewis and Crawford beyond
the Wichita river, to place where
the robbers had taken to the thick
brush overgrowing the river bottom.
Here the trail was lost.
Capt Mcdonald. returning from the
Fitzsimmons-Maher contest. via Fort
Worth, had got as far as Bellevue In
the adjoining county when he was met
by a telegram, containing the news
of what had happened that morning at
Wichita Falls. He Immediately wired
the authorities at the Falls to have
horses in readiness for himself and
men.
The Rangers reached the city about
two in the afternoon and mounting
the horses, already waiting. dashed
away in the direction the robbers had
taken.
Presently they met the local posse
coming back. The posse had given
up the chase but was able to furnish
information. Capt. Bill and his Ran
gers learned where the robbers had
disappeared, and pressed on In that
direction; the posse followed, re-
spectful distance behind.
1t was now getting toward evening
and would soon be dusk. 1t was de-
sirable to make an end of matters by
daylight, II possible. and the Rangers
wasted no time. They picked their
way as rapidly as possible. into the
thick undergrowth of the bottoms. and
suddenly in bend OF the river dis
covered the Clydesdale horses tied
close to the bank. Their riders were
believed to be close by, and the Ran
gers expected to be fired upon at any
moment. Without waiting for any
such reception. they charged In the
direction of the horses. with no other
result than that Ranger Sullivan
broke stirrup. fell. and with frac-
tured rib. retired from action.
Lewis and Crawford had abandoned
the horses, and their trail led down
the river bank. Finally the tracks
led to the river where 1t was evident
the bandits had crossed.

We regret that under our rules
We cannot publish this week an
article from Chapman signed "a
Friend" There is no objection
at all to printing the article
save the simple lact that the
writer did not sign his or her
name, which, we have stated
several thousand times, is inev-
itably required, mot necessarily
for publication but merely as a
guarantee of good faith" If the
writer desires to see the com
munication referred to in print
in this newspaper he or she will
have to let us know who is re-
sponsible for the article. )
We are informed that the
package of "Records" addressed
to Salters Depot failed to reach
that Office last week. We check
up every package before the pa:
pers are put in the office,so that
the Salters package must have
got lost after leaving our hands.
We know it is very anuoyingto
our subscribers to pay for the
paper and not get it, but all we
can do is to print the paper and
put it in the postofice. 1t causes
US much greater worry and dis
appointment, we know, than our
subscribers feel,b we are pow
erless to regulate the United
States mails, or to improve their
efficiency.
