All merchants do not do business that way but some do and they arc the 'squealers." They certainly do not do this trusting busi ness to accommodate the person trusted; it is for gaining what the gambler plays cartls for. If the gambler loses and 'squeals'' he is looked down upon. The same rule ought to hold good iu the case ot any merchant w ho w ill trust out his goods aud take the long chances for gain and -squeals" because he gets beat at his own game. There is too much trusting done. It would be far better tor cople were it not so. The Demo crat, iu common, takes chances on people paying as well as any one, but if we get beat people who beat us can rely on one thing we will never squeal." LenoBn in SIvtHclae.

She was mindful of the rules of politucss taught her on earth and promptly introduced me to Jesus, w ho lead me by the hand and showed me the pretty things iu heaven. At last I was lead out of the big gate and allowed to take a view of hell, and I tell you, mother, t was aston ished at the sight I saw there. It is trucly a horrible place, and there was but one man in there I knew and he was a man who once resided in Jackson." ANOTHER FIRE. Three Main Street Buildings in Ashes. Tne Post-omce, the Sew Era Ralld a and Blerwlrta'a Clear Far lory Ban Dawn. At about one o'clock Sunday after- j est "id niost inviting nooks we have noon (August 9th) the fire al::r.n was found iu this city of well-sheltered souuded aud everybody who heard it corners. Alter business we wero in broke for the Era office as a matter of j vilcl' ,lle orchard, and passing course, and sure enough there was a through walks bordered with rare fire. The first to arrive found the j flowers, and arbors covered with lus flamcs roaring in the second story cious grapes, then descending a wind- of the building. The flames had gained such headway that it was im possible to get into the rooms to save anything. The tinner storv of the huildinir was oeeiuiioil In ilm trrt . a fi.. Qr tjjj 1mmtes bcfore tlie nre bro..e out Colone, Mitchc aml llis .. . . , ... the city. The alarm soon brought a large crowd of people to th? scene, aud citizens together with the Fire Company worked heroically to save the property in the building. The printing office iu the lower story was all moved out and saved, but in a badly damaged condition. The house hold goods iu the second-story could j not be saved because of the iact that I the lire originated in the rear rooms iu that part of the building aud had gaiued such headway before being discovered that no human being could enter the rooms. From the llirsch building occupied by the A'cic Era the flames spread to the Post-oflice building and Aug. Bierwirth's cigar store and those buildings were soon reduced to ashes. Only a part of Mr. Bicrwirlh's stock was saved and that as badly dam aged. Everything in the Post-oflice was saved, but the furniture aud the stock of stationery sustained considerable damage in the moving out. When the Post-office building took fire it was thought by many that all down-town was doomed, but the Ar cade building having a slale roof cheeked the flames from making further headway to the north aud the work of the firemen anil citizens on the buildings in the rear of those burning confined the flames to the three buildings that burned down. IXSritANTB. The Casper Uhl building, occupied by August Bicrw irth, was insured for one thousand dollars, and Mr. Bier wirth's stock was insured for one thousand dollars. The llirsch building, occupied by the Era printing ollice was insured for ouc thousand dollars. The print ing office was well insured but the insurance agent who insured it is interested in the oliicc, ami the Ie:-m-cuat is- therefore unable to get the - ., I 1 u res. The ISuclirmann building, occupied by the Post-ollice, was insured for fifteen hundred dollars, and the l'ost oliice fixtures and furniture were in sured for four hundred dollars. F. E. Bin-rough and Philipp S!o!l. who occupied the second-story-of the l'o-t-otlicc building w ere both insured. .Mr. Burrongli's law library for seven hundred dollars aud Mr. Stoil's tailor ing establishment for four hundred dollars. B. I'.ahn. whose residence and hard ware store joins the t'hl property on the south, carries about twenty-two hundred dollars on his proj crty. His household goods and a part of his stock of hardw are were moved out on the street and of course he sustained considerable loss. The Arcade building did not burn but the heat from the Post-oflice dam aged the soul h wall to considerable extent and in all probability it will have to be torn down aud re-built. The origin of the fire is not knowu and probably never will be, but it is believed by all that the torch was ap plied by an incendiary, and the fact that the lire started in a newspaper office that has been routed by fire four, times within the last seven months, creates a suspicion that will never be cleared up until the guilty party is caught and punished. Dall Nnmmrr Xaatna. July and August comprise what is called the dnll season by the commer cial w orld because the farmers arc busy It is these months and the work that is done in them which briugs forth the bulk of the year. They may be dull months for the tradesmen, but they are even to that class the most profitable. Even though the mer chant must be idle and fold his hands for these two months, he does not re pine, lor be knows that the money tor his future trade is being made then. Those who do business and dwell in town should welcome what is termed the dull season of the mid summer, and must be content to await their time for the profit-sharing in the growing of the crops. The more experienced man oi business learns to regard the dull season with favor, lie anticipates it by prear ranging his affairs lo meet it com fortably. He is not in the least cast down or perturbed in spirits. While the farmers arc at work his profits arc growing, and when the harvests arc gathered, his harvest w ill come to him in mouths of busy trade aud heavy sales. The Jfalttea Extension.

After i indulging freely in the sweetest of ' barmless nectar, and watching the - rotl.sg ,.f ...akin.' the line familv eider thai his home is noted for, aud bis system of making vinegar, all ot w hich he fully explained, we cut loose from the tempting cup and tub and took a saunter amongst the shrubbery. How inviting, how delightfully cool it felt to w ander beneath those noble young forest trees, nsh, elm aud hick ory, standing at wide intervals in the midst of orchards of apple, peach pin ui and other fruits, all laden to the limit ot their strength with large, lus cious fruits. Then how enchanting was the winding path, here winding up Ihe side of a steep declivity, and then down to t lie brink ot a carp- pond, then around a large clump of ! evergreens and past a miniature field of sun flowers. A sharp turn brings us to a high embankment covored with fruits and flowers, all tastefully intermingled so as to bring out their best effect to eye and smell. After turning aud tw isting through paths, over tiny bridges and up miniature mountains we gained the top of the embankment, and amidst the perfumes of a thousand blossoms passed along its top, and without warning entered a large pavillion set on its edge over looking the fish-pond. Here were easy scats, tables. lounges, and all kinds of tasteful decorations amongst which stood prominent "Old Glory," beneath w hose starrv folds our host had fought so gallantly. After a rest we prosecuted onr search, and on every turn iouud something to admire. There in an opcu space on the green-sward stood the gymnastic school with its ladders, turning poles. swings, rings, etc. Then passing along a new aud uearlv con cealed path we found beneath the dense foliage of a large tree a hain mock sw ung to the branches; oh, how tempting. Another turn and we came out ou a large strawberry plat. Ihen a patch of raspberries, and all this ou a plat of ground not to exceed two and one-half acres. The groves on both sides that border Themis and William streets arc so dense that the passer bv cannot sec the treasures the home acre contains, and those enjoy ing the cool, hospitable shelter of its fruit trees, its fruits and flowers, to say nothing of its delicious cider, aud the warm welcome and kind greeting of the host aud his noble better half, forget for the time that they are iu the center of a busy city and an active people. Those who doubt our word have but to go and enjov for a brief period the pleasure and surprise we met with there to be convinced that it is a rural paradise. i'art for Ibe People.

"Yes. there is only a line or two,"thc editor says. "Only a line or two? Why, every one will sec that and it will be known all over town," the applicant tor favors responds. "Impossible," responds the editor, "because no oue would ever see your advertisement." There is no gammon about this. The above are cold, hard, solid facts. Any newspaper man in the couutry Willi tell you that this is so. Men won't advertise because, as they say, "people will not see their "ad." But they have a different opinion about oue line in the paper that reflects upon their character. They have a different opinion when they want a "pnflT or a "send off." a notice for this, that and the other thing whereby they want lo make moucy for themselves. In such case, the newspaper is just the right kind of a mcdiuui for every one to see the notice, hut whpn it. isnmps in an "ad it isnt worth a "tinsler s -.1 darn." There is a good deal of hum- ranch, where the experiment was bug about this w hole business. If a made, the rain was heavy, and con man won't advertise because no one tinucd several hours. The people of will sec the "ad" let that man dis-, this country, who bad become some tinctly understand that no one will what despondent because ol the sec the liuo or two that he is so anx- threatened continuence of the drouth, ious to keep out of the papers. This 1 arc now buoyant with hope. The is business lrom the word go, and I experiment made yesterday was don't you forget it. Kral Estate Far Male. Two 4 room 1-story residences.

The people of this section are more than pleased with the recent success of the Government's rain-makiu experi ments. Tbc drouth that is daily mak ing inroads upon the farmers' pros pects may possibly be broken by the Dyrcnforlu process, which, as simply described, is nothing more or less than an extensive system of sky can nonading. Another test will lie made on Friday next near the railroad, as soon as the final test has been made on Morris' ranch, and thus the whole country will be given a chance to witness what promises to be the ; grandest achievement of all modern science aud ages past, A member of the expedition says no such percept able results were anticipated. The combustibles were light and not of sufficient force to generate or cause any great fall of rain. The Morris ranch is 20 miles from Midland, and in the very heart of the Staked Plains. Hundreds of people will witness the final test About noon local rain showers were frequent, aud covered many 'miles of country. At the Morris merely the beginning The material and preparations are sufficient for a week's continued test The sky is clear again, aud no special indications ate to be seen, which fact attests to the practicability of the experiment.
