Secretary Of War Dickinson received
the following letter few days ago from
the Confederate Grays at Fort Worth,
Texas.
The Forth Worth Confederate Grays.
of Fort Wort, Texas, composed II
veterans Of the Civil War, by a unani-
nous vote taken at their afmory last
night, authorized the undersigned
officers Of said military company in the
line of infantry to tender to you their
services for duty as United States
soldiers on he Mexican borders, or in
any other capacity as hunters in the
present crisis involving the welfare of
our common country
lyon know what we were in the
sixties, we are still imbued with the
same splrit.n
The offer was rejected by the Secre-
tary, who explained that there was no
need Of their services and that the
officials did not anticipate war.
However, if they were called to action
we would wager that the Old Con-
federates would show the youngsters Of
today few unknown moves in the
game

SHORT CROP OF COW PEAS,

ihlOEo Ahr bOlNG y Il
The enormous demand for Cow Peas
last year carried the price very high,
aud as the GRIP is very sh ,rt aud the

are many Indications which point to
much higher prices as the sowing season
approaches.
MISREPRESENTATION PEAS.
The whip-poor-wills are generally
preferred in the Central and Southern
States. They are bush form, early
maturing and especially desirable for
Peas.
NEW ERA COW PEAS.
New Era's are little earlier and
make more vine than the Whip poor
vii s.
WONDERFULS, CTAYS AND MIXED
COW PEAS
FOR Hay, the wonderfuls or Mixed
Cuw Peas are more productive, they
sh' uld always be planted with an oc.
casionsl z, ain Of Corn, Sorghum Seed,
Kaflir Corn, etc., which will prevent the
Vines from getting Damaged by coming
Ia {, niact with the ground.
BLACK cow PEAS.
Bark Cow Peas are little later in
maturing THAI Gays, they make a good
growth Of Vine, and are exceptionally
good for medium or poor lsnd ard will
stand almost any amount Of wet weather
without injury. We ian supply Shin.

COFFEE A
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
Il became satisfied some months
ago that I owed the palpitation OF the
heart from which l suffered almost
daily. to the use OF coffee, Il had been
q coffee drinker for 80 years. but l
found it very hard to give up the bev-
erage.
One day I ran across a very SEN
sible and Straightforward p~resenta-
ton OF the claims of Postum. and
was so impressed thereby that l con-
cluded to give it a trial.
My experience with it was unsat-
isfactory till l learned how it ought
to be prepa-ed-by thorough boiling
for not less than Is or 20 minutes.
After I learned that lesson there was
no trouble.
Postum proved to be q most palat-
able and satisfactory hot beverage.
and I have used 1t ever since.
The effect on my health has been
most salutary. The heart palpitation
from which / used to suffer so much
particularly after breakfast has dis
appeared and I lever have a return OF
It except when I dine OF lunch away
from home and drink the old kind of
coffee because Postum Is not served.
