Carefully observe tho statistics

given elsewhere in this paper
The average farm products of
j a county is far ahead of
counties a3 the
fge of crops pro
ln San Saba county over any
cSnnty adjoining it is over S2 per
acre A decided advantage in fa
vor of San Saba county
As gleaned from foreign reports
the Europsan crops will bo very
short and light this year But
they need not suffer as Texas can
spare enough to keep them alive
for quite a while
Tes Bro Mountaineer we made
an error in our issue of June 5th
Wo take all the blame attached to
tho error but we are not guilty of
tho error of hunting up errors
mode by others
Gov Hogg has manifested con
siderablo interest in the Bowen
murder case This is certainly a
laudable act of tho Gov Editors

when they do need it they need it

Nature seems to havo bestowed
her richest gifts upon San Saba
County Our climate is healthful

Tho Primitive Methodist of
England in conference convened

Wales for his connection with the
Baccarat sensation and they fur
ther add that he should not be per
mitted to ascend the throno unless
he abandons gambling
Texas seems to be ruled by
brutes of the quadruped species
It has a Hogg for Governor a Pig
for Judge a Lamb from Senator
a Durham for Representative a
Buffalo for Sheriff and several
jackasses in tho Legislature
What a wonderful place is Texas
Sir William Gordon Cummins
of Baccarat fame lost his suit in
the high courts of England but he

United States Ho has since mar

Tho following statistics
from tho Third Annual Report of
tho agricultural Bureau for 18S9
90 show how San Saba ranks with
her sister countiee Sho is last
alphabetically least in dobt fifth in
valuation fourth in tax rates fourth
tillable acres third in value of crops
and first in average valuation of
farm products per acre When

f is unsurpassed by that of

t fail to observe the other
this paper Wo aro in
to think the new suit fits
The permanent State encamp

Wonder why tho Gov didnt give

Tho quaint old printers devil

mighty bad
The crops throughout the State
are reported to be in better condi
tions for this month than was ever
known before
wo say oux farmers know how to
manage their business to best ad
vantage wo mean that too The
table shows San Saba fifth in acres
in cultivation and third in valuo
of crops produced note the gain
Then observe tho average valuation
of tho crops produced per acre

cultural Bureau 1SS9 90
Some unkind person has gently
whispered that the San Saba News
under its present management is
antialliance Snch an assertion
is false and untrue from the
ground up The only ground for
such a remark is our opposition to
the Third party move But
whether the party who made the
unkind and untrue remark has the
ability to know tho difference be
tween the farmers alliance and
the third party we are unable to
say Wo will simply add that wo
highly favor tho farmers nlliance
but are opposed to any third par
ty arrangement or combination
Wo are democrats throughout and
all over wo are plucks of no parties
and kicks of no clans If that be
ike the most of it
elsewhere
slered
an e
on the
ell
pitting
Ind smolixing
iraUy but it is the
long nosed razer back
og that roots our gardens
bottom side upwards and is a reg
ular walking generator of enlex
iritans or better known as a tip
top perpetual flea factory No
one doubt3 but that there many
fleas in this town if you doubt it
come to town and remain an hour
or so and wo guarantee you will
change your mind It is as well
known fact that these miserable
pests fleas aro so numerous that
officers cannot attend to business
It you doubt this fact go ask the
Commissioners court why but two
were left to finish the business and
theyll answer floes Ask W B
Leverett why ho quit the court bo
fore it adjorned and mournfully
hell say fleas AskL M Smith why
he left town on tho third day of
court and sadly hell answer fleas
Now things are in sad state of af
fairs when managers can not actor
rather must act too much on ac
count of fleas tho hogs must go
or the fleas will keop coming
Now we might be just a little sel
fish in wanting a hog law carried
but if you were worried all day by
fleas and in your sleep dream of
fleas in tho mourning the first
sight up which your tired eyes fall
is a dozen fleas and you pick up
your restless fretful sleepless child
and his scabbed all over like the
top end of a pepper box by fleas
you would want tho hog law carried
besides is c3rtainly not complimen
tary to have the principle town of
our county branded as a hog ranch
A few hogs kept up and proper ly
cared for aro beter than a lot of hogs
running at largo they sicken die
are eaten up by wolves and
worms and disappear mysterious
ly and otherwise your hog3 are in
to somebody elses crops and some
body elscs hogs are in your crops
Now if every body would keep
their hogs up it would bo better
easier and more profitable It is
much easier to fence a few hogs
in a small enclosier than to fence
an army of hogs out of a large en
closier Dont fail to come out on
this hog law

Wo are ir trouble and
orful
trouble at that
Whenwo started into this new
paper business we thought it was
a fat tako and it panned ont about
jjat way for t Jookus and we are
t And that Mo is what troubles
us being so fat and not able to
expand to greater proportions
We started into this thing with
visions of all the good things we
would get in pay for advertising
subscriptions ind jobs of different
sorts but the fact is wo feel like
we did when yi > u give us that pot of
blackberry pic it was awful good
to start on but got bad towards the
last and that before ive had ate
half the pie
Well ma ire are now in just
such a fix only more so Wo can
get all the adi we want provided
we eat and wo ir ride or drink it
out And we bavo done a great
deal of businet s that way but it is
beginning to tell on our constitu
tion in a terr ble manner Our
stomach beginn to rebel wevo got
too fat to ride much and drinking
is distasteful to our temperament
This is our con lition ma and the
serious aspect it is that it daily
grows more seiious What will we
do It would impolite to rofuso
to take groceries especially when
youvo got a i eputation up as a
grocery consumer
Oh ma wha will wo do what
will we do whf t will wo do
There is one thing we will not
do unless we bust and that is
trade any more ads for groceries
Ma please write us what do in
tho emergency by return mail

Park CosuiissiONEn whoever
ho may bo is opposed to setting
apart any portion of tho public
parks for any specified class not
even children
Class legislation restricting or
extending any privileges to any
class is to bo reprobated But
children do not belong to nny
class They am tho promise and
the hope of the future if they aro
brought up as they ought to bo
brougt up Thi grown up people
can tako care of I hemselves They
can go to the ba I place or they
can work out tbeir own salvation
It does not n ako much differ
ence totheprcscatgenerationwhat
becomes of then
The man who is really in earnest
in his desire to mako men detter to
strenghen tho foundation of gov
ernment to raak J tke law supreme
and anarchy iaponsiblo should
stop fooling with problems and look
after the children They aro tho

Most of the bad men and women
whose conduct is continually sug
gesting problems and subjects for
magazine writers are too old to be
reformed Let them go their way
Let philanthropists and philosoph
ers drop the harden sinners and de
vote their attention to instilling
right principles into children The
childrenwill tako them in tho more
quickly if they have a goob time
they will realize that there is some
thing practical in tho goodness
that modifies tho Catechism with
plenty of fun
The problem of this age is the

It is in the crowded tenements
that association corrupts children
on the playgrounds in the open
