He Is to visit Morristown drango anil

He is to hold a reception at Washing-

Whenever in the mutation of events it

THE
Hood was the only county repre-
sented in the Fort Worth convention
that cast a divided vote or rather that
failed to cast a unanimous vote for
Throckmorton. On Friday afternoon
last as we learn from the Grauberry
Vhlette p mass meeting of the democ-
racy of that county was helu at the
courthouse and the following resolu-
tion adopted :
Kcolved by tho democracy of
Hood county in mass meeting assem-
bled That we do heartily approve and
endorse the action of said convention
and that the Hon. .1. W. Throek.uor-
to;i Is our first choice above all others
to represent us in congress and that
we do hereby pledge ourselves to sup-
port him in the approaching election.
From Erlclny'a Dully HeruldJ
YEVrEltl'AY
Was the greatest day Dallas ever saw.
She hud thrown open her arms to wel-
come her Texas and Louisiana broth-
ers and with a spirit of rejoicing they
answered to her call aril crowded
around her. We unhesitatingly say
that no such hearty and heart felt de-
monstration has been vouchsafed to
any Texas city in the last decade.
From the romantic hills of Austin
from the historic plains of Houston
from the towering clHIs of Fort Worth
from the indomitably plucky city of
Shreveport and from many other
places that are dear to Dallas noble
bands ol'gnllant men came to join with
our own brave men in the celebration
of their Hist anniversary. The num-
ber ol firemen in procession could not
have been less than six hundred. Witli
their 'picturesque uniforms mid em-
blematic banners they formed a spec-
tacle the equal of which we have rarely
seen. One mind one purpose seemed
to animate the throng-on t he part of
the people of Dallas to testify how
gratefully they felt for the acceptance
of their hospitality by their guests and
on the part of visitors to show how ap-
preciati ve they were of the ellbrts maile
to make their visit a pleasant one
Nothing occurred to mar for a moment
tho enjoyment of I lie day.
It is a proud remembrance for Dal-
las. From the lted river on the north
to the gulf on the south tind from a
Utile eust of .Shreveport on the east to
the borders of civilization on the west
she looks upon all tho inhabitants as
Texans and as brothers und to gather
them for a briel period around her fes-
tive board and with good cheer to tes-
lify her friendship ami her love is an
episode that will be remembered witli
pride by those of her sons who are now
living and that will be read of when
the participators in yesterday's festivi-
ties have passed to oilier spheres.
Dallas owes to her firemen a debt of
crntitude for what they done for her
oil yesterday.

and to IhiHe politicians who are seared

spicuously evoked and narrow section-

the state will not vote for him. He
in noway represents these classes. He
has no feeling in common with them
and does not countenance moss-back-isni
in any degree.
We regard this nomination as the
key-note lo the canvass. If a tune Is
pitched upon the right key all good
musicians can take part In it anil all
right thinking nieu can keep step to
the music. Tho tune pitched by the
democrats of northern Texas is the old
tune of the democracy j Hail Columbia
and the Star .Spangled Banner will ac-
cord with it; and to its cadences will
not only our Texas democracy march
to victory but it will be the niuslo of
the coming presidential contest.
The full hearty and noble endose'
inent of Governor Coke was one of
the best features of the convention.
No more honest or self-reliant or de-
voted governor have we had or do
we want; and in endorsing him the
Fort Worth convention endorsed itself
as made up of tho true representatives
of the honorable democracy of Texas.
We undertake to promise that this en-
dorsement will be repeated by every
convention in the state.
Northern Texas has spoken. We
await the response of the northeast
the east the centre and the two
western districts ; and we believe that
in at least three of them we can point
the man and in all of them the princi-
ples in advance.
INU1AX NEW.
A gentleman who cams in from
Fort Worth on Wednesday night In-
forms us tlmt just before he left that
place on the morning of the same day
a Mr. Hansom arrived there from the
north west witli the information that
on last Friday or Haturday the Indians
captured two stages betweei Wichita
and Fort Mil; Unit these two stages
contained three passengers and that
the passengers and drivers were mur-
dered and mutilated and the horses
carried off.

110 complaint of the worm.
Hkaiixi: July ill. Crops are about
the same ns at la-t report. Kain is
ni'filf.1 on the hills but the bottom
lands are doing well. The increased
aercuge over lust season Is about one-
fifth. Tho worms seem to be doing no
damage of consequence. The weather
is dry and quite hot.
Jai ksonvim.K July 31. The crops
In tills section are sutlering for want of
rain. Tho oottou crop is already cut
oil about twenty percent by the drouth
and is failing daily. Corn is also suf-
fering very much.
There is no prospect of rain at pres-
ent. Tlie weather is excessively war 111.
No cotton worms have made their ap-
pearance iu this couuty yet.
Coiwii'ANA. July Sl.-Thedry weather
has iniured the late corn to some ex-
tent. The crop is large however and
plenty to spare. Tho new crop is
otlcriug nt twenty-live to thirty cents
per bushel. Tho wheat crop Is very
.light the average being not over six
or eight bushels to the acre. Our mills
will soon use up the whole crop and
be forced lo import from Kansas. (Jot-
ton promised well up to within a few
days liast but is beginning to fail from
drouth.
Muxia July .11. The crops iu this
county ure much better than one would
be leal to suppose Judging from tho
wide spread er.v that there seems to be
about no rain etc. The number of
acres incultivntion this year through-
out our county is largely in excess of
tlie past year which agreeable fact of
course is attributable to the rapidly set-
tling up of tliis section large acquisi-
tions having been made to our num-
bers from abroad Xluring tho past
twele months and still they come.
The Mineola (Wood county) Adver-
tiser asserts such crops have never been
gathered in this county as will bo this
fall if no calamity befalls them from
now on. A gentleman who lives iu
Van .andt county Informs us that the
same might be saiil of tlie crops in that
county lie said if the worms did not
appear at all and no other calamity
befell them that the cotton planters
he believed would give one-half of the
cotton crop to havetheother half gath-
ered. The Goliad Guard says that there
will bo a half crop of cotton raised in
that county despite tlie worms. The
praires are covered with fine grass aud
the cattle are in fine condition. The
late ruins have made the grass luxu-
riant. In the Hefugio locals of the
Guard we find itstated that a Presby
terian church consisting of fourteen
members was organized on the 12th
ultimo.
