The following letter has been re-
ceived by one of Weatherford's
prominent lawyers. It speaks for
itself:
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 27.—
Dear Sir: I arrived here a week
ago and I have been endeavoring
to lea^n what the course of the in-
coming administration is likely to
be with reference to the removal of
republican postmasters but
am as much in the dark as I was
before I left home.
I find from my own experience
and from the advice of others, that
the plan of holding elections has
proved very unsatisfactory and has
given rise to more dissention that I
thought possible.
I very much wish that some
plan could be adopted which would
relieve me of the responsibility of
recommending anv particular per-
son, but I fear this cannot be done.
However, my purpose in writing
now is to request you to say to
those who are agitating the ques-
tion of an election at your place, as
I learn some are, that I wish they
would hold the matter up until I
return. I will come over to
Weatherford as soon as I can and
will discuss the matter much more
fully than I can in a letter. If I
can learn what steps on my part
will hasten the removal of republi-
can appointees I will not fail to re
resort to them for I am most sin-
cerely in hope that Mr. Cleveland
will mak? a clear and rapid sweep,
bat the opinion here is that he will
not do so.
I h&ve not and will not commit
myself to the support of anyone
nntil I can thoroughly investigate
the claims and endorsements of
each applicant and will most
sincerely endeavor to learn the

Newberry, Tex., Mar. 8.—Sow-
ing oats is the order of the day.
Farmers are well up with their
work, but we are needing rain to
bring up oats, to give wheat a fresh
start and to settle the ground for
corn planting. A large acreage of
corn will be planted in this section
of the county this year.
It is a pretty little girl at the
home of Mr. T. N. Tierce. The
father all smiles and the mother
and babe doing well.
For several days

dential possibility, and mother, en-
joying good health.
Messrs. R. T. Harris, W. J.
Gibbs and T. W. Petty conduct
singing at the church twice per
month. They have ordered a lot
of new books for the benefit of the
class, hence the public may expect
more and better vocal music in fu-
ture.
i he school here is still progress-
ing without jar or friction. A de-
bating society has been organized
and the Misses Jones say they will
hold an open meeting of the society
for the benefit of thq patrons of the
school and public generally Friday
night. A pleasant time is antici-
pated.
Mr. W. P. Meadow spent a few
days here last week visiting the
family of Mr. Jas. D. Newberry.
Mr. Campbell Newberry displays
a great deal of activity for a man
of his age. He is 69 years old.
Uncle Wite Dick is as merry as

quarterly conference at this place
on last Saturday and Sunday.
Presiding Elder J. L. L. Annis, of
Weatherford, occupied the pulpit
Sunday morning at eleven o'clock.
His sermon was logical and interest

you dont want to get hit you must
keep out of the way. Mr. Annis
Btrikes going and coming, straight
from the shoulder. At the conolu<
sion of bis sermon the doors of the
preference of the democrats of eachI church were opened and four acces-
