Visiters' Day at the Jan.

t: The large number of visitors who constantly come to the jail has rendered necessary the enforcement of •one -rule. These visitors, chiefly prompted by idle curiosity, come at all hours of the day and night and if all were accommodated a new deputy would have to be employed. Under the existing fee and salary law Sheriff

Davis hardly considers this practicable. On Thursday, and Thursday only, will visitors be admitted to the jail. The public will do well to take note of this and be governed accordingly.

An .Interesting Letter from Texas. To the Editor of The ournal. BROWNWOOD, Texas, Oct. 2, 1895.— Having promised several of my friends I would write' them in regard to our trip, I thought I would write a letter to THE JOURNAL, if the editor will please publish it, so they may know we arrived safely at this place Thursday evening, Sept. 26tlii*

We left Indianapolis at 12:40 p. m. Tuesday, arrived at St. Louis, 7:30. Here we took the Iron Mountain road, making good connections until we reached Ft. Worth, Texas, Here we had a lay over of 13 hours, making it Thursday evening before we reached our destination. Brownwood has a population of 5,000, is a thriving and prosperous city 140 miles southwest of Ft. Worth, and is the judicial seat of Brown county. It is on the lines of two railroads—the Ft. Worth & Rio Grand, and the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe. Its trade territory embraces a radius of over 100 miles, and its wholesale trade is rapidly growing, and is the oil center of Texas. Nature has given it every advantage that could be desired and the ingenuity of man has added many enterprises which bring in a handsome revenue to the city. In order to give the reader an idea of the prosperity of this place I will give a list of. some of the enterprises. There are three national banks and one private. It has one of the finest cotton seed oil mills in the State, erected at a cost of 860,000, and has a capital stock of 865,000. Owing to the rush of business it is kept running day and night.

They feed this season 10,000 head of cattle for market. There are several fine cotton gins, also a fine cotton compress. The court house is a beautiful structure built of gray sandstone and cqst $60,000. The county jail is a substantial building, larger than is likely to be needed in so moral a community.

There are six churches, two M. E., two Presbyterian, one Baptist and one Episcopallian. The secret societies an well represented and have nicely furnished lodges. The fire department is considered as fine as any in the State. The public schools are graded and conducted about the same as the Indiana schools. Two large wholesale grocerys and two wholesale hardware stores, the Hulburt Hardburt Hardware Co., with which Mr. Byerly is connected covers an entire block with several warehouses. Two colleges, two steam laundries, one ice manufactory: candy factory, water works, bottling works and machine shops. Brownwood has many handsome residences and business blocks. The people are moral and law abiding and I find them much more sociable than the Hoosiers. The products are cotton, corn, oats, wheat, rye, barley, millet, milomays, sorghum, broomcorn and vegetable. The average crop is from 35 to 50 bushels of corn per acre, 35 to 80 bushels of oats, one half to one bale of cotton and 25 to 30 bushels of wheat. Peaches are a profitable crop and as I look out at my window I see a large orchard with trees bending with delicious fruit which sell for 25 cents per bushel. In the yard is a muss of ever blooming roBes of various colors some as large as saucers, the most beautiful sight I ever saw. Since I began this letter I had an invitation to take a drive out to the cotton fields. I mo^t readily accepted and must say I never enjoyed myself so much as picking cotton and gathering the different kinds of cactus: that grow in the woods.

We are well and having a good time. Do not know just how long we will stay but hope to remain until Spring.

Yours Truly ri MRS. NELLIE BYERLY. jy-' Ons Landis as Dog Tray. A special from Nashville, Tennessee, says the United editorial association of Indiana arrived at this city at 7 a. m. and were met at the depot by a committee of citizens and escorted to the Maxwell hotel. The members were welcomed to the city by Hon. G.H.Baskitte of the (Nashville Banner. The response was by C. B. Landis of Delphi Journal, after which the party was taken to Fisk university and intr£* duced by Mayor George B. Guild. Lunch was had at the famous Gerst brewery, where numerous speeches were made between drinks—as none of the crowd favor the Nicholson bill. After leaving the brewery the old residence of President Polk was visited and the capitol building. The party left for Chattanooga at 3 p. m.

The Baptist State Convention. The Baptist State Convention was to have been held at Washington this year beginning Oct. 7 and continuing five days. Owing to the diphtheria epidemic there, however, the convention waa postponed. L.- A. Clark, transportation agent, has received word that the convention would be held at Terre Haute, beginning October 28. At the same time the B. T. P. U. State Convention will be held. Rates will he announced later on.

Quietly Married.

Tuesday evening at the home of Judge Harney, in the presence of a few friends, Dr. S. V. Leech united in marriage, Blumer W. Alward and Miss Augusta Bowers. The happy young couple have gone to Wallace to make their future nome.

||!||vory ,Is Excited.

A Washington Bpecial to the Indianapolis News says "It would not be surprising," said ex-Congressman Brookshire, of Indiana, in an interview today, "to see William S. Holman come back to Congress. He is one of those men that the voters will not let stay in retirement. There are hundreds of people in Indiana who looked on his defeat a year ago as a personal misfor tune. Although Mr. Holman is now in the same district with exCongressman Jason B.Brown and Geo. W.Cooper I hardly expect either of these would contest for the Democratic nomination against him. Of all the men in his State who were submerged by last year's cyclone, I think Mr. Holman has the best chance of re-entering national politics. His people are fond of.him, and like his old-fashioned theories of runnfag the Government. While always close with the public funds, he was ever liberal with his own, and a maa of greater integrity never breathed the air of Washington."

Y. M. C. A. Building Fund Trustees. By late statute of the State, the real estate of Y. M. C. A. is placed in the hands of a Board of Trustees elected by the Association. The title to the real estate of the Association in this city vests by the laws in such trustees.

The Board elected as trustees O. M. Gregg, W. T. Whittington and T. H. Ristine. The body has organized by electing T. H. Ristine president, W. T. Whittington secretary, and O. M. Gregg treasurer. By this new arrangementjall money belonging to or arising from the real estate, such as rents and subscriptions to the building fund, are separate from the funds for current expenses.

The building fund is now with this new body, and all subscriptions to that fund are payable to O. M. Gregg, treasurer, and can be paid at office of the Indiana Wire Fence'Company.

George Must be Joking.

lar have given great space to the story of George Whitecotton, of Anderson, who recently discovered his long-lost daughter in the person of Mrs. George Butcher, of Irvington. It is reported that George lost the child eleven years age and assiduously searched for her until he found her. George states that he expended a large fortune in his hunt. This will be interesting news here where George resided for several years. The folks here didn't dream of George being a plutocrat.

Will Teach Music.

Harrisville, West Va., Standard: Prof. M. M. Luzader arrived here Tuesday evening from Indiana, where he has been for three years. The West has evidently agreed with him, as he is large and portly now. His friends in

thiB

county are legion and they are

all glad to have him with us and to see him looking BO hale and hearty. He comes to give instruction in music at Smithville and other places, as he is recognized as one of the ablest teachers of this science, and Ms services are always in demand.

They Slept la Jail.'

All of them were finedTuesday morning by Mayor Bandel.

Kicked Sy a Horse.

On Monday evening Jonathan, the eight year old son of Clint Snyder, who lives on the Jonathan Nutt farm, met with a very serious accident. He was in the barn lot and in some manner was kicked by a horse, just how the family do not know. He was found lying senseless on the ground about dark and medical aid hastily summoned from Crawfordsville. The lad's skull was fractured and his collar bone was broken. He lay unconscious all Monday night and yesterday, but last night showed signs of rallying. His recovery is looked for unless inflammation sets in.

Trouble! Trouble! Trouble!

We are in trouble and we need your help.' Listen while we relate our woes. Last May we decided to build an addition of 3,360 foot floor space on the top of our store, but that has been denied us by the city council, as the following clipping from the daily papers' report of their last meeting will show:

"Mr Louis Bischof asked a permit to build a second story on the rear addition of his business block, the skeleton of said building to be

of wood, and this to be covered with iron but this was not in accordance with the require- •v-r ments of the ordinance governing the construction of buildings within the fire limits and the permit was not granted."

Our present walls are too light to support a second story brick wall or an iron wall complying with the ordinance referred to and we have been corm pelled to abandon the project. However, believing we would have this extra room, we bought many more goods than the capacity of our present room will permit us to handle successfully and pleasantly and we are compelled to reduce our stock $20,000 within the next thirty days. These goods were all bought before the recent decided advances on all lines of staple and fancy goods, for spot cash, and if we could carry them we would realize fully 20 per cent, more than if we bought them at present prices. But we haven't the room and we bow to the inevitable and give our profits to our customers. Below are a few of the many bargains we offer. We have hundreds more, but we haven't the time to list them, but it will pay you to come and see us for any dry goods or notions.
