Aurtik, Tex ; It is reported hew on
good authority that Bwift A Co. and
Armour & Co. ere negotiating for the
purchase of all the prinoipal oil mills in
Texas and that these concerns are to be
operated in connection with the meat

of the territory are nsed as reserve
agents of the territory banks.
The period covered by this report has
witnessed an unparalled growth in the
unmber of banks in the history of any
community of equal population.
The pwjent law being so extremely
liberal as to the capitalization required,
there have been organized and opened
for business a largo number of banks,
with capital which is inadequate to in-
sure the requisite degree of responsi-
bility for the pcoplos money dejwsitcd
with the banks. Under tho present
state of the luw |2,500 in actual money
is all that is required to open a bank
and receive an unlimited amount of
money on deposit, aiid a one-third por-
tion of that grossly inadequate sum
may immediately aftor opening be in-
good to poor yields reported, the work
is well advanced; boll worms have
caused much damage over a good por-
tion of the section, anil the general
prospect is for about half of an average
yield, with quality ranging from good
to poor ; with the oocurrenoe of late
killing frosts, it is probable that tho
middle and top crop* may improve and
give a partial to fair result.
Corn, late broom corn, kafflr corn,
oane, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and
grass are being secured with fair to
good yields.
Late potatoes, turnips and June corn
were improved by recent rains, and are
more promising.
Plowing is nearing completion, and
seeding of wheat ami rye is in progress,
with some early sown coming up well;
the poor condition of the ground is de-
laying work considerably over some
counties, and farmers are awaiting rain
before seeding.
Pastures and range grass are gener-
ally in good condition; over some ooun-
ties owing to drouth tho range is poor
and water scarce, and stock is not do-
ing so well.
Fruit is in a variable condition, and
much was shaken off the trees by the
reoent high winds.

About ten years ago, George Nipper, a

The highest men in our nation'.have

A dignified representative of the Pres-

E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Bev. Smith ia supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro,Ga., writes:
"Having used Peruua in my family for
some time it gi ves me pleasure to testify
to its true worth.
"My little, boy seven years of age-had

bottles of Peruua the trouble almost en-

malady I consider it well nigh a specific.
chant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
ietter to The Peruna Medicine Co., or
Colninbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
"For a long time 1 was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, ail of which gave me no relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends, and after usin^ a few
bottles I am pleased to say that the long
looked f or rel ief was found and I am now
enjoying better health than I have for
years, and can heartily recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted. It /
certainly a grand medicine."—M. J.
Rossman.
Catarrh is essentially the same where-
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. llartman, giving &
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you hia valuable

Paris: Certain defects in the Pana-

concessions have lieen brought to light,
which render the conclusion of the sale
of the company's right* and property
to the United States doubtful. The
original concession was first extended
by the Columbian government to 18118.
ft was then further extended by the
executive Of the government for six
years more. The terms of the original
concession required that any extension,
to be valid, must have the approval of
congress. The last extension has not
received the approval of the Columbian
congress.
The Co'nmbian rebels, not long ago,
sent an envoy to the directors of the
Panama canal company to notify them
that if they (the rebels) succeed in ob-
taining control of the country they
would repudiate the extension granted
in 1808 by the defacto government.
