— McDade received its first
on Friday.
—Brick sidewalks are com-
ing into fashion in Denison.
— In Colorado county candi-
dates continue coming to the
front.
— A farmer near Concho will
make fifty bushels of corn to
the acre.
— Judge Turner has refused
to grant a new trial in the
Eanes case.
— The recent heavy rains
extended to Denison and up
into the territory.
— It has rained every day
for a week in Colorado county.
Cotton pickers were kept within
doors.
— C. K. Wilcox, a young and
well known physician of Dallas
has been lodged in jail on seven
separate charges of forgery.
— There is too much rain in
the vicinity of Palestine and
fears are entertained that the
cotton crop will be injured.
— A Concho saloonist has
the sign "Ice" over his door.
It is put up because it looks
cool; not because he has any
ice.
— Work on the Transconti-
nental railway west of Sherman
has been commenced and forty
miles of rail have been purchas-
ed.
— The Colorado Citizen
sheds crocodile tears and ex-
tends its sympathy to the Wa-
co Examiner on the withdrawal
of Mr. Lang.
— W. B. Honeycutt. a young
man, suicided at the Waco Tap
in Fort Worth. He became
jealous of his mistress, an in-
mate of a bawdy house.
—Col. Chambers, candidate
for vice president on the green-
back ticket, met with a severe
accident the other day, by
which two of his ribs were bro
ken.
— The Marshall Herald says
the Wood county Flag is about
as good as the best of the green-
back papers, and it is weak
enough. A sort of a milk and
water compound.

32 inches long and 36 inches in
circumference.

5 miles southwest of Navasota.
His wife, who had threatened
his life, is in j4il awaiting exam-
ination.
— Mrs. Devine, of Waco, is
unfortunate in her relations
with the opposite sex. Her
husband suicided a few days
ago and she married an escap-
ed convict who has since been
returned to the penitentiary;
she then took up with another
fellow and he too turns out
badly, having just been arrested
for stealing a horse.
— The majority of the people
at Waco are satisfied that the
governor gave a 20 days respite
to Burks, but nearly all agree
that he should be hanged in ac-
cordance with the sentence.
— The Marshall Herald, of
July 29th, says between Jeffer-
son and Marshall there is a per-
fect sea of water covering the
lowlands. Many bottom farm-
ers are submerged. Such an
overwhelming rain in July has
not been known for years.
— A man named Smith, from
Coryell county, was shot down
like a dog about five miles from
Senterfeit, by two men named
Clawson, Smith had said they
were cattle thieves and upon
his refusal to retract he was
killed.
— Last Friday Wm. Curus
was murdered in the door of
his own house near Van Al-
styne, by one Lantse. The
men had quarrelled about a
pitchfork and as Curus turned
to go in the house Lantse shot
him with a load of buckshot.
The murder was cold-blooded;
the murderer escaped.
"I don't blame you Dan; Han-
cock is a good fellow," is the
way Conkling responded toGen.
Butterfield's declaration that he
should vote for the Democratic
candidate.
Gen. Garfield is in one respect
the most unfortunate of candi-
dates. Of all the serious charge
brought against him in relation
to his public life, not one*origi-
nated with the democrats.
They were preferred by his own
Congressional associates, his
own constiments and his own*
partyfriends.—Buffalo Courier.
Jute culture is bound to be-
come one of the great industries
over much of the South. Where-
ever rice will grow Jute will
thrive remarkably. Every part
of the plant, from the roots to
the tips of the sprouts is useful.
Its production costs only one-
eighth that of cotton, and 3,000
pounds of the fibre can be pro-
duced on one acre. It sells in
New York from six to eight
cents per pound. This would
make its profits more than twice
as great as cotton profits.
What the Birds Accomplish
—The swallow, swift and night-
hawk are the guardians of the
atmosphere. They check the
increase of insects that would
otherwise overload it. Wood-
peckers, creepers and chicka-
dets are the guardians of the
trunks of trees. Warblers and
fly catchers protect the foliage.
Blackbirds, crows, thrushes and
larks protect the surface ot the
soil. Snipe and woodcock pro-
tect the soil under the surfacc.
Fach tribe has its duty to per-
form in the economy of nature;
and it is an undoubted fact that
if the birds were all swept off
the face of the earth, man bould
not live \jpon it, vegetation
would wither and die; insects
would become so numerous that
no living thing could withstand
their attacks. The wholesale
destruction occasioned by grass-
hoppers, which have lately de-
vasted the west, is undoubtedly
caused by the thinning 6\it of
the birds; such as grouse, prairie
hens, etc, which feed upon them.
The great and inestimable ser-
vice done the farmer, gardner
and florist by the birds is only
becoming known by Sad e*pe-
rience. Spare the birds and
save your fruit; the little corn
and fruit taken by them ii more
than compensation by the (quan-
tities of noxious insects they
destroy. The long persecuted
qrow has been found by actual
experience to do far more good
hy the vast qaantitie* of grubs
and insects he devours than the
little harm he does in the few
grains of corn he pulls up. He
is one of the farmer's best
friends.
