Win reus, at tho last icuular mooting of
the Hays County Farmers' Allianco, hold in
tho town of San Marcos, April 3rd 1888,
resolution was reported by the committee
on ronolutious aud adopted by tho body, and
Whoroas, said resolutions by continuing
tho words, "of his particular political par
ty," are a violation of our declarations of in
tentions and obligations, and,
Whereas, our declarations of intentions
read, "1st, to labor for the education of the
agricultural classes in the suienco of eco
nomical government iu a strictly uou-purtl-sun
spirit, 2nd, To endorse the motto 'in
thiugs essential, unity and in all things,
charity.' 5th, To constantly Ptrivo to se
cure entire harmony and good will among
all mankind, and brotherly love among our
velvcs. tith. To suppress all porsonal, lo
cal, sootioual and national prodjudices, and
all unhealthful rivalry and nil selfish ambi
tion," aud,
Whereas, said resolutions can only serve
to koop up tha old political bitterness with
in our rauks, which we should over strive
to suppress, and,
Whereas, we believe that tho laboring
olasses can only secure raliof from the many
unjust burdens thoy now bear by uuited ac
tion at the polls, regardless of old fcarty
Hues, bosses and doruiigoguos, aud further,
wo beliovo our present oppressed couditiou
has been brought aliuut by voting to suit a

of the different political parties, who
have managed legi slation iu the interest of
the few, thereby oppressing the many)

Momliy Imtter was worth S5 ouuU per
pound in Austiu. Ou Weduesday we took
down a lot ami were glad to got 12 eeutu
per iioiiiid. The break iu tha market, and
it extended to all produce of the garden
and dairy, hnd boon oanaod by a "uew man
oomiog iuto town with a two horse wagon
plumb full of plnndor," we wore iufurmod.
It ia a pleasure to watch tha Austiu market
if you have nothing that you are anxious to
sell. It reminds me of the pantomime, now
ton have It aud now you dou't. By Uie
way, what a picture of life the pantomime
is! All follow columbines, the hobbles or
each, Houettt nnd siinplo old pantaloons
aro being constantly taken in. The down
(or fool) bnrns bis fingers (figuratively) cotj
Htimtly, aud makes troublo all around. Aud
whilo each persou thinks ho ia "paddling
his own canoe" tbe clover harlequin (puliti
clan, acitator or pious fraud) leads the
dance and coins his fun from them all. Oh,
wise ia the moil who sots out to acton pnn
oiple; but wiser far is oue whom Clroum
stanoes aud a harlequin do uot lend by the
noso.

In unswor to ThoB. J. Davis' roquost,
beg to stuto that arsenical poisons, tuoh as
Paris green, London purplo, etc, cau be
used to udvantagc, and without dnnger to
producer or consumer when handled In nu
ordinarily careful maimer. Bo far as is
known, no plant will take np tho poison,
but tho planter must bo careful to koop his
hands from his mouth while handling the
mixturo or the plants aftor it is put on. Au
officicnt mixture i'h ouo pound Paris groen,
twenty pounds flour aud ton pounds sifted,
wood ashes. Theso liigrodiontH must be
thoroughly mixed, and the preparation can
then bo (lusted lightly on the plants through
a fine solve or better with a brush. Tho
amount of mixturo givou above will kill all
the insects likely to visit ouo aero of olosely
planted ground, as cotton, in two days if
not wastefully applied. Ouo pound of Par
is greon may also bo put in forty gallons of
water and applied with a sprinkler. But as
tho poison does not dissolve, constant agita
tion of the wator is neossary, oud, whilo the
application will kill existing Insects, it reud-
ly washes from tho plants and loavoB them
exposed to tho nowcomor. I giye the re
cipe, for Paris greeu iu proferenco to com
mercial arsonio becauso it is safer to use,
both as regards those handling nnd tho
plants, Commercial arsenic and many of
its compounds are linble to scald the plants.
Finally, dust very lightly. If tho trouble.
Boruo insects are not doad noxt day, dust
again, Whon tho poison acts, do not re
apply until the mBOcts make headway auain
which may not occur. Vouched for by the
U. S. Eutomological Committoo.

I hav been acartnl so badly sine my last
that I have oot yet fully collected toget'..
my scattered wit. Hay, did you ever foal
the sensation of a snake up your breeches
leg? Well, Aunle sent m out tbe othr day
to gather up the egg in Uie back end of
the granery. Whon I got my pockeuiuii,
a thougth atru -k me that stove-wood would
be next, now If Uira I any thlug I hate
won than chopping stove-wood It is more
of It, I got on my all-four nnd began to
orawl around goutly knocking the trash
aud such away with my shapely fingers In
search for oob. You know how tha legs of
uew ducken paut will standout like you bad
ou hoops. Not gatheriug many I couolu Jed
I had better try to chop alittlo. Isoratublod
around and boiug aortor tirod, concluded
good nice chips would answer the purpeso
just as well. I felt something cool slip
down my breeches log, think me: I have
lost my eggs now.' Well to make a long
story shurt it was a rattle snake with five
rattles. Anuie came running out with the
big spoon nnd biscuit cutter and wonlil
have phiyod' havoo with the snake tribe,
but ore I had settled bis hash aud buug
him up to mako It it ralu. I am thankful
that it waa'ut tho eggs for they would have
broken suro, and then Annie inlglit havo
loft the print of hor biscuit cutter on my
nose. Staple aud Prairie Lea cross bats
this evening near the Store. They generaly
do up the boys but their practise has boon
very little since they dune up Kyle. W
are going down with a cnuopfaor and ex

Editor Fiut Pans. Sir, we are having
a regular stock boom down hore. There
has been in the hut ten days shipped from
this point over 8,000 hoad of oattle of varl.
onsnges. Tho GuUott Brothers toll me
they have sold over U00 head of horse stock
iu the same length of time, ton days. Lane
and othor commission men hore have also
sold considerable amount of stock, my opin
ion is that our stock boom will boat the emi
grant boom very badly, but still w would
like to have some good reliable emigrauts.
Our oountry is uot only stirring in the
line of stock, but we are doing considerable
farming more thau common, D. & L. P.
Peua have this yonr sowed 50 aores of John
sou grass aud 30 acres of sorghum cane aud
many othor are making liko improvements.
Wo havo just had a fine ruin which flllod
evory body heart with good fooling toward
tho great powor that sends rain. How long
those feoliugs will last those Moxicaus is
more thau I can toll,
Grass la fine out hore now, and stook do
ing wall. Stock in still ehoup and plenti
ful. Our prairies look a vast flower garden
ust now, - Dovall. '
We dip the following from our observant
neighbor of the Times:
Great and rapid prnpros is daily taking
place at and on the Chautauqua grounds.
Winding foot walks ana carriage, unvos are
being constructed. Tho ground, Tuosday
ust, was staked off for the erection of a din
ning hall, kitchen and storo room, measur
ing a total of 81 foot iu length. Four thous
and feet of additional piping for the con-,
veyauoe of wator to various parts of tho
boautifully situated grounds, will belaid,
aud additioual fountains, rustio seats, nnd
and platforms constructed. No less thau
400 tents, it is said, will be on the grounds,
under shady trees, during the Assembly,
which open Wednesday tho 27th of June
next.
Tho body is more susceptible to benefit
from Hood's Sarsaparilla now thau ut nuy
other season. Thorofore take it now.
