Fragmentary item from Alpine Texas dated March 3 1879. Mentions a post office matter and ACC at Gowerens with a poetic aside about mountains nature and renewal. Reads as stray OCR text with unclear context and errors.
An article urges the lighting of country highways to reduce accidents and advance rural electrification. It notes support from a Missouri farmer, county and federal highway officials, and mentions New York New Jersey and Georgia as states with related laws. Detroit reports extensive rural lighting while a Colorado Springs ad occupies space.
The piece argues the grade crossing danger is not the railroads fault as motorists ignore warnings. A Supreme Court decision places responsibility on motorists not railways. It notes trains take ten seconds to clear crossings and many deaths arise from drivers attempting to save time, underscoring the Stop Look and Listen message.

He accuses rivals of jealously guarding state crops while joking about other regional dishes like Maryland chicken and Boston beans. The exchange hints at broader fights over meals, framing propaganda as political leverage.
A sermon on Elijah at Cherith argues God educates through hardship rather than books. The brook dries as Ahad’s power wanes, teaching Elijah the value of fellowship with suffering humanity. True service begins with love forged in trials and shared adversity.
Shipments of all classes of live stock to markets from Texas in February show a slight January decline and are near February last year. Bernard Nichols of the Texas Business Review notes the pattern, based on University of Texas research. Unloading at Fort Worth is mentioned in the report.
