News items are very scarce,
and hi the words of Emerson,
"We have nothing to write, noth-
ing to infer."
The much cursed and dreaded
disease measles has not relaxed
its hold in the inhabitants of this
community in the least, but to
tin contrary is holding on with
the tena* ity of an octopus. New
. .t~.es are announced nearly ev-
i rv dav. and it is feared that it
will become epidemic. Our school
has been closed since last Wed-
nesday.

We are certainly glad the
mcasfe scourge is practically
over. No more material, save
four families who have main-
tained a kind of home-made quar-
antine, so far have escaped.
The southwest side of the prairie
has been exempt also. The total
number of cases is 110.
Thursday eve at 5> o'clock the
angel of death stole into the home
of Allen Oldham and carried
awav his youngest child and only
daughter, Lillian. At the time
his wife and two children were
bedfast, his oldest convalescent
and he exhausted by constant
watching. Their sail plight
awoke wide-spread commisera-
tion. The remains of the little
sufferer were interred in Porter
Chapel grav e yard.
Mrs. Thornton, of Caldwell,
spent the holidays with her chil-

Miss May Hope, our teacher,
was exposed to measles during
the holidays and is now a victim.
She is reported very sick. Her
sister, Mrs. Pollock, came yes-
terday to see her. Her's is the
only case now in our community,
but as she was taken sick in the
school room we think she will
have plenty of company in a few
days.
Prof. J. P. Collier, of Llano
county, spent most of the Christ-
mas holidays in our midst.
Attorney L. O. Fraim's family,
of Tunis, have just returned
home from an extended visit here
among relatives.
If the rain continues the farm-
ers here will be late starting
their crops. The ground is thor-
oughly wet and still it is raining.
Aside from measles there is
no sickness in our community.

A genu-

been boxed and were shipped tonight
to E. Hawley of New York, assistant
general trallie manager of the South-
ern Pacific. The steer from which
the head and horns were taken grew
out in west Texas and is said to have
been a monster in size. The horns
measure seven feet from tip to tip
and arc handsomely polished and
mounted. They are the gift of Pas-
senger Traffic Manager Morse of the

ment the office of Mr. Hawley in

A llrief Kaport,
London, Jan. 10.—General White
Mill holds out, or did so sixty hours
ngo when the Boers ousted front)
fln-ir foothold inside the works, sus-
pended their assault at nightfall.
England has taken heart. The sit-
uation. however, is worse. The be-
leaguered force must have expended
large amounts of ammunition,which
can not be replenished and must
have lost a number of officers and
men. which is counterbalanced so
f; ~ as the garrison is concerned, by
the greater loss of the Boers, llen-
era! White still needs relief and tho
differences confronting (¡oneral Bul-
ler are as great as before. The for-
mer's unadorned sentences, as read
and re-read, suggest eloquently the
peril in which the town was for
fourteen hours and how barely able
his 9000 men were to keep from
being overcome. The chief concern
for (icneral Whit ' is in rcsjiect to
ammunition. Sixty-eight- days ago,
at the beginning of tin* siege, his
small arm ammunition was vaguely
described as "plenty." His artil-
lery then had '100 rounds per gun.
Some of the batteries have been in
action frequently since then and all
were probably engaged last Satur-
day*. His stock of shells, conse-
quently. must be low and this will
make it difficult for General White
to co-operate in a movement by (Icn-
eral Duller. The intretichinents at
Ladysmith as descriedb in a mes-
sage that left a day or two before
the fight end has just come through,
are well covered with ritlc pits and
trenches, down which the infantry
move in single file tc the various
posts in absolute'safety. Full ra-
tions are still served, but no whisky
or tobáceo. Mr Spencer Wilkinson
points out that there i* one division
only at Chievcly and nt Frero and a
third at Ksleourt. As Chievcly is
seven miles from Cnlen-o the «ce-
rnid division would have to march
twelve miles to get into action and
the third division twenty-six miles.
General Buller's ,'10,000 men and
seventy guns were therefore almost
inactive Saturday and when General
White hcliographed General Buller
could really make no move but an
ineffective demonstration. Eng-
land is preparing armaments and
twenty-two transports will be on the
way to South Africa during the pres-
ent month. According to the pro-
gramme 26,000 additional troops
and seventy-two <;un< will soon lie
afloat. The government Iuh ordered
Vicker's Sons ami Maxim to turn
out guns as fast as possible.
Ijtinnir Cotton Mill.
La Grange, Te\ . .Ian 10.—Af a
mass meeting of the citizens at the
court house this afternoon $1000
was subscribed for the purpose of
building a cotton mill at this place,
and a meeting is called for January
'.'.'I, at which time the l,a Grange cot-
ton mill company will be organized.
