Boys Disappear.

good, aged about thirteen or four
teen years, disappeared from home
Saturday. They w«re last seen
about eleven o'clock at the crossing
of the Central and Katy, since
which time all efforts to locate them
have proved futile. The families of
the missing boys have been much
exercised over the matter and are
using every effort possible to find
them. The officers of surrounding
towns have been notified to keep on
the look out for them and to appre
hend them if they show up. Ed

trip was unsuccessful

Searching ior Souvenirs.
The Confederate veterans are now
beginning to warm up to the thought
of soon meeting their comrades at
Dallas and they are searching among
their old papers for souvenirs of that
memorable struggle which was prob
ably the fiercest war ever waged on
the globe. Mr. J- R. Rives, who
lives on Oldham avenue, enlisted in
Lowndes county, Alabama, and re
cently his colonel, who commanded
the 44th Alabama regiment and was
promoted to a generalship before
the end of the war, died. Gen. W.
F. Perry was his name and Mr.
Rives recently showed us a bio
graphical sketch of him written by
Gen. W. C. Oats, formerly govern
or of Alabama. We were interested
in his graphic description of the life
of this brave man. These sketches
recently appeared in the Montgom
ery Advertiser.

"Nebraska will be represented, and
represented creditably, at the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition at St.
Louis next year," says the Omaha
World-Herald. The Nebraska
World's Fair Commission met this
week and divided among the mem
bers of the commission the work of
collecting and installing the various
classes of exhibits. Mr. G. W.
Wattles, who was president of the
Omaha Trans-Mississippi Exposi
tion was giveu the department of
manufactures and specialties; Mr.
J. Sterling Morton, who was Secre
tary of Agriculture in Mr. Cleve
land's cabinet, was assigned to the
historical exhibit; Mr. Rruce to
agriculture; Mr. Rudge to horticul
ture, and Mr. White to live stock.
Selling Eggs.
Mr. J. H. Simpson, who rents on
one of Col. Jus. 8. Davis' farms
near Maloney, believes in diversi
fying. During the winter and fall
months he has brought to Waxa
hachle and sold one hundred and
five dozen eggs, 4for which he re
alized 12% to 25 cents per dozen.
When other people's hens were on a
strike Mr. Simpson's were going
right along with business, and all
this time hen fruit was commanding
good prices in the markets. In ad
dition to his immense sales of eggs
he says that his wife now has scores
of healthy young chickens.

The Practical Thinker.
The pulpit at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church was occupied
yesterday morning and last night by
Rev. L. C. Kirkes, president-elect of
Trinity University. This was Rev.
Kirkes' first appearance in Waxa
hachie pulpit and he made quite a
favorable impression upon his audi
ence. His theme was "The Practi
cal Thinker," using the 59th verso
of the 109th Psalm as a text. The
preacher classed the thinkers under
three heads, the sophist, whose
reasoning is captious or fallacious;
the abstract, existing only in the
mind, and the practical thinker, the
man who knows how to apply his
thoughts to the practical side of life.
nRS. C. J. GRIGQS,
representing Chas. A. jStevens &
Bros., Chicago, the great ladies'
furnishing house, has a full line of
beautiful samples and plates of
Spring Suits, Skirts, Waists and so
on. Would be pleased to have the
ladies call and see them.
