COMING TO TEXAS.
Tho Stockman and Farmer says
that, as a direct result of the serious
night riding in Kentucky, many to
bacco growers from tho Blue Grass
State will migrate to Texas, some set
tling in the territory tributary to San
Antonio. The Government is doing
much to encourage tobacco growing
in Texas, going so far in many in
stances as to all the cost of pro
duction in order that demonstration
farms may prove to farmers the ef
ficiency of the soli for growing the
weed. Several colonies of Kentucky
tobacco growers may be settled un
der the guidance of the Yoakum lines
in the Gulf Coast country. Alvln

It was a northern republican who
lately settled in the Browihwille
country who bought a pair of mules
in Mexico a short time ago. paying
about $20 each for the mules as the
purchase price, and on reaching the
Rio Grsr.de had to pay ?30 per held
as duty on them. The experience
made a democrat out of him, but be
ing a resident of Texas, and unable
to vote anyway, on account of having
lived here too short a time, it natural
ly made no difference in the result
of the election.
Corpus Christi is preparing to en
tertain a large number of visitors on
the occasion of the state waterways
convention to be held there on the
18th and 19th of this month. That
the good people of the beautiful

For some perhaps the Thanks
giving turkey will be flavored with
the bitter herbs of disappointment,
but all should take their portion
with a sauce of cheerful resolve to
accept their fate without unavailing
murmurs.
The republican rooster gets the
-crowing in the national election, but
down in Texas, and especially on the
Lower Rio Grande, the democratic
roosters are crowing in a hearty
chorus.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion nt the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of Uie mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the) result, and unless the Inflamma
tion can be taken to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars free.
