The County Newspaper.
We fear there are very few persons who
properly appreciate their county newspa?
pers. People who read them, and are
not satisfied because they do not furnish
more news of a general character, do not
realize how muc'.i hard work has been ex?
pended by the country editor in getting up
the very issue they are displeased with.
For one dollar a year they are expected to
give a paper that should rival the weekly
editions of the city papers that are com?
piled from the matter prepared for the
daily issues, and which cost nothing but
the paper on which they are printed.
There is no paper that can or will taiie the j
place of the local paper. It furnishes to I
its readers news of a local character that j
cannot be otherwise secured. It expends
its limited means for the furtherance of
all local enterprises and always hue a good
word to speaK in behalf of its county and
its citizens. We trust our readeis will
think better of our efforts to please them,
and give us their cordial support and
approval.

a complete cure. She is now again able to
do her daily work and enjoy health."?

My control of The Republican dates
back to August 20th, 1S96. When I
bought the paper Mr. Boone furnished
me with the names of some subscribers
who had paid their subscriptions to a date
I later than August 20th, 189G. He may
I have failed to name some who had paid in
advance. I wish every subscriber who
has paid in advance would come to the
office and let me know how their account
Btands. This would be a great accommo?
dation to Mr.. Boone as well as myself.

SDAY, JANUARY
GRAZED WITH JEALOUSY,
LOVE FOR A MAN CAUSES TWO GIRLS

They Were About 18 Years of Age and
Members of Good Families.
Ocala, Fla., Jan. 13?For love of Ed
?ward Melton, Marian Smith and Bertha
Floyd fought at Marti City, a suburb of
Ocala, this afternoon, ami the former was
mortally wounded. The girls, who are
about 18 years old, and members of re?
spectable families, have been infatuated
with Melton for some months. Melton
would first favor one and then the other,
making each wild with jealousy by turns.
This afternoon Melton and Bertha Floyd
were walking when they met Marian
Smith. Crazed by jealousy the latter de?
manded that Melton choose between
them. Melton replied:
"You two must settle it."

Miss Floyd, Melton looking on. The girls
used only their fists, nails and teeth but
inflicted frightful injures. Miss Smith was
the stronger and finally bore the Floyd
girl to the ground, when the latter drew a
dagger from the bosom of her dress,
stabbed her rival three times in the left
breast, inflicting fatal wounds. Miss Floyd
is herself badly injured and there are fears
; for her reason.

ONCE HE WAS BLIND AND BALD
But Eyes, Hair and Even Teeth" Return
at 85.
Kaukakee, 111., Jan. 10 (Special).?A re?
markable case is that in the village of
Tuckerfi, in Kankakee County, of Mr John
Adams. This man is 85 year old. Until
recently he was bald, toothless and almost
.blind. IJe can now see as well as ever, has
cut several teeth and his hair has grown
out again. The new hair is dark. At first
glance he looks like a man of 40. The eyes
are bright and cleai and emphasize the
wrinkles, and his cuticle looks like parch?
ment.
Mr. Adams now has an idea that new
skin will come and the wrinkles disappear.
He is enjoying excellent health and be?
lieves he has many years yet to live. Mr.
Adams weighes 190 pounds, is 5 feet 9
inches tall and his shoulders are but little
stooped.
He drinks no coffee, tea, or alcoholic
stimulants and for the past ten years he
has been rising regularly at 5.30 A. M.,
Summer and Winter, and walking, a dis?
tance of two miles to his son's for breakfast.
SPANISH MINES IN TEXAS.
There la TtdM at Itcopenlng domo of the
OIU Ones.
The earliest settlers of Bell county,
Tex., found along the mountains north?
east of Belton and near Nolan's creek
what appeared to be old mines that had
probably been worked by the Spaniards,
Indians or Actees. Since then every
once in awhile there has been talk of
trying to open the mines and see what
was In them, eays the Galvcston News.
They presented the appearance of deep
holes in the ground, some of which had
been partially and others almost en?
tirely filled with dirt. In some instances
bushes had grown in these places. In
one or two cases large cedar logs had
been placed over these mine-holes on<2
dirt thrown on them. Some people
have always contended that it would
pay to reopen and work these o'.d mines,
but until now no one who desired to put
time or money in them.
The recent discovery of gold four or
five miles from Belton has given a new
interest in these old mines. In one of
these mines some men have begun work
in earnest, end are keeping at it from
day to day. They are not very com?
municative about their prospects for
success, but this much they tell, ihat
in a short time they are going to ship
some of what they think is their best
paying ore to the smelter at eagle Pass.
After it has been smelted they will know
more. Meanwhile there is a good deal
of interestabout it around town.
SILENCED THE "MASHER."
How a New Woman Saved Herself from
Unwelcome Attention.
He had a smile as bright as his gayly
colored trap as he rode up alongside a
demure young1 woman who was walk?
ing in Central park the other morning,
upon one of the asphalt paths, reports
the New York Herald. She heard the
rattle of wheels at her side, yet she
turned neither to the right nor to the
left . ?
"Good morning," said the handsome
young man as he raised his straw hat
with the dizzy band, "wouldn't you like
to take a ride with me this morning?"
The girl didn't say "Sir-r-rl" or
"What means this intrusion?" She
slowly turned around and looked the
young man over from head to foot. He
bore her gaze without flinching, and
started to get down from his seat as If
to assist her into the trap.
The girl looked at him and then at
the pocketbook which she held in her
hand.
"I don't know," she said, half aloud,
"I don't know, I'm sure. How much
would you charge to take me to the art
museum ?"
There was a whirl of yellow trap, of
bright red hat band and flying wheels.
"You'll do," the young man said, as
ha drove rapidly away. _
