Wool and Wine In Texas.
That Texas is destined, and that
within a very feir years, to become
one of the greatest wool and wine pro-
ducing countries of the world,, is no
longer matter of conjecture only.
Sufficient progress has been made in
different sections of the State to prove
that both industries yield fine profits,
and every day new enterprises of the
kind are being developed. Mr. E.
Carlin has purchased 30,GOO acres of
land in Menard county, on which he
intends to settle three hundred French
families, who have already been sent
for. He has received ninety car loads
of lumber, to be used in construction
of houses for the accommodation of
his tenants, fencing, etc , and has on
tlis place eighty merino bucks, which
cost him .$1500, with which to improve
his sheep. Mr. J. F. Terry, who owns
Comanche Peak, in Hood county, has
planted and is cultivating five hundred
acres of grapes, principally of the Ca-
tawba varietv.
Tiie interest which Texas is exciting
abroad is evidenced by the sanding of
special correspondents to this State by
leading European papers. The London
Field now has a special representative
in Texas for the purpose of writing up
the agriculture] and stock-raising capa-
bilities of the State. A correspondent
of the Field, writing about Kansas,
says, after giving tho cost of producing
and herding cattle: "The principal
markets are Kansas City, St. .Liuis and
Chicago, but the day is not far distant
when the Mississippi to New Orleans
and the railroad to Galveston will take
the grain and stock from these vast
plains to England, instead of by the
costly route to the Eastern coast."
The News has authority to announce
that the'following persons have engaged
to attend the State Sunday School Con-
vention to be held in Houston, April
23 to 20, to wit: Iiev. J. H.Brooks,
D. D., Itev. C. L. Goodeli, D. D., Rev.
H, D. Gause, D. 1)., Rev. Thos. Mar-
shall, Rev. J. S. Malie, and Mrs. Geo.
Partridge, of St. Louis; also, Prof. R.
S. Gillette, LL. D., last president of the
International Sunday School Conven-
tion. A rousing attendance is looked
for.
A clipping elsewhere from a SsutVi
American paper shows that the balance
of trade in favor of Brazil and against
the iTnitcd States is at present about
$26,000,000 annually. This sum repre-
sents the opening there is for profitable
increase of our exports to Rio de Janei-
ro. The facts cited in the article appeal
to no part of, the United States more
directly than to Texas.
Fkeigiit rates between Chicago and
New York have been advanced fifty
per cent., nnd rumor has it that the
new tariff will be rigidly enforced. An
excellent understanding is said to exist
between manag«-3of railroads connect-
ing the East and the West, and no dan-
ger is apprehended of another war be-
tween the trunk lines.
Messrs. Evarts and Schtjkz, of the
cabinet, have been appointed a com-
mittee to devise civil service reform
rules.

STATU NEWS.
AUSTIN COUNTY.
The Banner, l^arnp that most of the
farmers of Austin county have been
through with corn planting some time,
and have commenced planting cotton.
ATASCOSA COUNTY.
Lumber is hauled to this county from
San Antonio after being brought from
Eastern Texas by rail The grasshop-
pers cause some apprehension... .The
second quarterly conference for Medina
Circuit, M. E. Church, South, con-
vened in Pleaaanton on Saturday, the
17th inst. Rev. J. G. Walker, Presiding
Elder There was a tournament at
Pleasanton on Friday, 16th.
BEXAR COUNTY.
At San Antonio, on Thursday, the
trial of the Homer Brothers, charged
with robbing a bank at Comanche, "was
begun. The robbery took place on the
10th of January, 1876. Hon. J. H.
McLeary, Esq., is assisting the County
Attorney in the prosecution, Judge
Leslie Thompson being retained for the
defense. The trial excites considerable
interest. The JSxpress gives the follow-
ing account of the affair: About ten
o'clock in the morning of the 10th day
of January, 1876, while the cashier of
the bank at Comanche, this State, was
quietly attending to' his business, two
men entered the institution, and while
one of them held the muzzle of a„
cocked pistol to the official's nose, the
other entered the vault of the bank
and secured about $5000 in money.
The robbers then compelled the cashier
to walk with them to where
their horses were hitched, and
then mounting their steeds, they rode
rapily away. About a month later two
young men, brothers, named George
and Joseph Horner, were arrested in
this city, charged with committing the
robbery. Yesterday, Joseph Horner,
the elder of the two, was tried in the
District Court here, and a verdict of
guilty was rendered, the punishment
being fixed at ten years in the peniten-
tiary, the fullest penalty of the law, the
prisoner being tried on an indictment
of theft only. The younger brother,
George, not much more than a smooth-
faced boy, is jet to be tried. It is not
believed he had a hand in the robbery
of the bank at Comanche, but when ar-
rested he had some of the stolen money
upon him. Both lived in the neighbor-
hood of Comanche, and bore the char
acter of being bold and dangerous per-
sons.
BILAZOS COUNTY.
Bryan Patriot: The late spring and
frequent raiDsare somewhat discourag-
ing to the farmers... .The report came
to town yesterday that Jack Gorman,
an old citizen of this county, had been
found dead on Tuesday in Brazos bot-
tom, near his home. He had been
missing for several days, and when
found was in a state of putrefaction,
so much so that it was impossible to
tell whether he had been murdered or
not. The supposition is, however, that
he died from the effects of disease, as
he had been rapidly failing for some
time. ...A negro store-keeper named
Sam! Frenchman, was shot in Brazos
bottom on Monday night, by Mr. R. A.
Motley, who also keeps a store in the
bottom Mr. Motley is known to be a
quiet and orderly citizen, while the n< =
gro had tli9 reputation of being a very-
quarrelsome person. He was in Bryan
Monday and was arrested under indict-
ment by the grand jury for carrying a
pistol. He was tried in a justice court
and fined. It is supposed that the diffi-
culty resulting in his death grew out
of this indictment, as Mr. Motley waa
on the jury. Frenchman was not dead
Tuesday evening, but was not expected
to live through the night. He was shot.
in the abodomen with a load of squirrel
shot from a double-barreled shot-gun.
Frenchman shot at Motley three times,
twice with a gun and once with a six-
shooter, before the latter returned the
fire.
COItYELL COUNTY.
Waco Examiner; In tho Dlitrict
Court at Gatesville, last week, tlis
County Commissioners Court, was in-
dicted for failure to exact a bond from
J. R. Raby, the sheriff, who is a default-
er to the Vniount of about twenty-two
thousand dollars. The indictment was
quashed on the ground that the Commis-
sioners Court is not required by law to
exact bond from a sheriff for the col-
lection or delivery of taxes. In the
trial of the case a lameness in the law
was discovered, it having appeared
that it is the duty of no person or court
to require bond from the collector of
taxes.
CALDWELL COUNTY.
The Sheriff advertises the sale of
lands for taxes.. ..The grasshoppers are
still here The ladies of Luling are
to eive a supper to aid in building tlie
Episcopal Church. .. .The Luling lie
porter says Messrs. J. N. Stagner & Co.
have recently sold a lot of unimproved
land in the prairie, about four milts
south of Lockhart, containing 75 acres,
to W. Richard Robertson, of Lockhart,
at $4 per acre. Said to be a most beau-
tiful location... .The complete outfit of
the " Hook and Ladder Company " ar-
rived here on Tuesday last... .We met
Mr. llorton, from Lockhart, a day or
two ago, who is prospecting our place
with the view of locating here and
starting another livery stable Mr.
John Campbell, of Galveston, has been
spending several days in our town, and,
we understand, intends establishing an-
other lumber yard here.
CASS COUNTY.
Linden Sun: Col. W. W. Lang,
Master of the Texas S^ate Grange, will
lecture and instruct the Grangers of
Cass county, in the work of the Order,
at Linden, Saturday, March 17
Peach and plum blooms greet the eye
in all directions... .The products of
this county are corn, cotton, potatoes,
Chinese tugar cane, peas, pumpkins
and ground peas, all of which grow
luxuriantly with proper cultivation.
There is no doubt that the soil of this
county is better adapted to the growth
of cotton than the richest black prairie
soil. Small grain does moderately
wtil. Fruit grows and matuies to per-
fection. The water is abundant and
pure. Some of the most important
creeks and bayous are; Black Cypress,
Hughes's Creek, Kelley's Creek,
Fiat Creek, Jim's Bayou, Frazior's
Creek, Bomaa's Creek and Black
Bayou. These streams, and a great
many other smaller ones, are dispersed
over th^ county, affording water to
every section and neighborhood. The
very best of drinking water is obtained
by digging wells from fifteen to thirty
feet, 'limber is of the very best qual-
ity of pine, the various species of oak
and hickory. Society is good, made up
generally of people from the Carolinas
and Georgia, some few from other
Southern States, and a very few from
the Northern States, but they are all
clever alike. They are industrious, in-
telligent and moral. Schools and
churches of the various denominations,
are accessible in all parts of the county.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad runs
through the eastern portion of the
county, and lias three depots within its
limits—Lanark, Atlanta and Ivildare.
'1 Ue price of land ranges from one dol-
lar and fifty cents to three dollars per
ii-re (unimproved,) and from five to ten
d ;llars for improved lands.
CA5IEKON COUNTY.
The grand jury report that they find
that the stealing of stock is of less fre-
quent occurrence and extent than here-
j lofore, in ail sections of the county
i except tlio city of Brownsville, where
horses are frequently stolen, and in
i most, cases the thieves successfully
i ( . deffii !»o:i ; nd puni??tmcnt. "
find that drunkenness and disorderly
conduct are so slightly punished that
the law haa ceased to a terror, and
while the impossii^ll'y"of collecting
commensurate fiueaTand the expense to
ending—imprisonmsnt
for failure "to pay such fines, seems a
plausible itxcus® for not imposing
them, they really only show more
plainly the duly of tjie county to pro-
vide some work for convicts, whereby
their labor may produce at least the
cost of their maintenance. The laws
against gambling and selling liquor to
minors are not enforced, and while it
seems impossible for a grand jury to
obtain evidence inculpating the offend-
ers, they believe the local magistrates,
by tSr employment of detectives,
could easily secure many convictions.
The freqraat raids made upon this
city from Matamoros, Mexico, by pro-
fessional begfrars and tramps, wlio com-
bine the profession ei begging with
petty thieving, has becomtfwry annoy-
ing to ear citisens, and it seems as if a
little care on the part of our magistrates,
would relieve us of this foreign plague,
and at the same time restrain tha cp,- ra-
tions of such of the same class as claim
to be domiciled here. There have been
eight convictions had m the District
Court, seven- are for the penitentiary
and one to the county jail. The follow-
ing are the names of the candidates
elected to do the State some service: E
W. Philbrick and W. H. S welky, bur-
glary, two years each; Esperidion Eva-
ra, theft of a mare, five years; Obiion
Balsaduva, theft of a gelding, five years.
Catarino Perez, five years; Pilar Marti-
nez, five years; Tayloy Harrison, crime
against nature, fifteen years; Clotilda
Aguilar, theft of property to the value
of $20, county jail one month.

....Occasionally we hear of the ap
pearance about town of young grass-

dent that Grimes will not suffer from
their depredations if our neighbors will
" hold their own." The large rock
building now in course of erection
across Town creek, the property of Mr.
H. Schumacher, is fast nearing comple-
tion. It will be three stories high, 90
feet long by 65 wide, and will cost
something over $10,000. As soon as
the new building is completed Mr.
Schumacher will move into it his exten-
sive cotton seed oil, saw, grist and plan-
ing mills and cotton gin. This estab-
lishment gives steady employment to
between 30 and 40 men....We arc
reliably informed that 15,403 bales of
cotton have been shipped from Nava-
sota since September 1,1876, and about
450 or 500 now iu storage, which will
swell the number to about 15,000. Near-
ly all of this cotton was sold to Nava-
sota merchants, and the money spent
with them, which, at $50 per bale, is
$795,000. A pretty fair trade in one
staple.

a disposition to foster a growing national sen-
timent in the South, and as significant of a
policy calculated to obliterate sectional feel-

A Few Facts for Housekeepers.
You can not roast your coffee perfectly even.
You can not roast your coffee without losing
aroma. ' ^ . .
Ycu can not roast your coffee without loeiDg
20 per cent. In weight.
Very few (if any) housekeepers roast coffee
every day.
You can not buy an ounck op pur* fresh
ground spick, in this city, except at
one establishment.
You can not depend on getting good tea every
time you pay for it.
Therefore— •
Don't r*ast, but buy your coffee where you
get every bean properly parched.
Buy your coffee where it w roasted fresh
every day.
Buy your coffee where all the strength is re-
tained in roasting.
5uy your spices, pure and fre*h ground.
Buy yourt^as, where the quality is "always
good alike." and that is at
