WOMAN’S TEARS.
Talk not to us of woman’s smile—
Her tears are more effective far ;
How sweet their influences are—
How strong, and yet how soft the while!
The rain that patters clay by clay
Dissolves the adamant of years,
And so may woman’s silent tears
Wear e’en the stonies heartt away.
Aye, as old Father Time goes reaping.
He still finds woman on her throne—
Her scepter is her broom alone,
And she is monarch when she’s sweeping
NORTH TEXAS NOTES.
Measles at Alvarado.
The finances of Johnson county are in
a healthy condition.
Farmers of Grand View, Johnson
county, are complaining of dry weather.
The smoke of the locomotive can be
seen from Whitesboro. On to the Pacific
from Denison.
The Chronicle says tree planting on the
sidewalks of Cleburne is becoming gen-
eral. No better investment in beauty and
comfort could be made.
Cleburne Chronicle : We have a few
farmers in Johnson county who, if pos-
sible, plant their corn in February; and
they are o ar best farmers and rarely miss
a crop.
Denton Monitor : “The people are be-
coming thoroughly disgusted with the
slow progress being made in the construc-
tion of the Dallas and Wichita.” Shouldn’t
wonder. Shouldn’t wonder.
A daughter of Eli Taylor, who lives
about four miles southeast of Grand
View, was in a field burning corn-stalks,
when her dress caught fire and she was
fatally burned, and died in a few hours.
The Albany Tomahawk learns from
some of the prominent cattle men that
quite a number of old cattle died during
the recent cold weather, and a few died
from the effects of blackleg and other dis-
eases peculiar to cattle.
The Albany Tomahawk says that in the
year 1877 the farmers living in the valleys
of Hubbard and Deep creek, in the south-
eastern portion of Shackelford county,
planted a few acres of wheat, more as an
experiment than with any hope of real-
izing profits from their labor. The sur-
prising result was a large yield, that went
far beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine, reaching an acreage of twenty-
five bushels per acre on sod land, and in
some places reaching as high as thirty-
three bushels per acre, proving beyond a
doubt that Shackelford and the surround-
ing counties are peculiarly adapted to the
raising of small grain.
The Tomahawk wants a mill at Albany,
urging among other things that “the
nearest mill to which our farmers can
carry their grain is Sipe Springs, in
Comanche county, a distance of fifty
miles, while not a few have gone to
Weatherford, in Parker county, a distance
of one hundred milesthat “there is
lasting water within four hundred yards
of the public square, wood can be pro-
cured within a radius of from one to
three miles, and as a dernier resort coal
can be procured by going from ten to
twelve miles. So there is nothing lacking
but a small capital and an energetic man
to make this business a success.”
Strayed or Stolen.
The following i.s the description of the
two horses picked up by our officers the
other day, and supposed to have been
stolen:
One roan horse, about 14J hands high,
branded M P on left shoulder. One sorrel
horse, bald-laced, and about 13£ hands

Some one with no damaging design,
started the tale that “Cheap John,” the
auctioneer, was one of the three individuals
who robbed the stage yesterday morning.
It was said that he was cutting the bags,
when his mask fell of and exhibited to the
driver and passengers his familiar phiz.
There was no truth, however, to the story.

THROUGH TICKETS TO LEADYILLE
at the very lowest possible rates.
It is conceded by all old miners who have vis-
ited Leadville and vicinity that such rich dis-
coveries have never before been made, and that
this mining camp, in numbers of people and
development, surpasses any ever before opened,
and the rich discoveries extend over a radius of
many miles about Leadville and Fairplay. A
trip to Leadville wil repay any person, whether
interested in mining or not, as it is a sight
worth the expense of the trip to witness.
Ihou-sands will go there in a short period, and
the sooner you go, the betler.
