THE COTTON CROP.
Krom the Galveston News monthly
cotton report the following from Wash-
ington ooouty is reproduced :
Barton, Texas.-r/^otton is about
tvwmtydaya late compared with last
year. The staple is being marketed
rapidly, but little being held back.
There will be a falling off of about 20
per cent, due to reduced acreage and
dead cotton. There will be no top
crop. The corn crop will be heavy;
the price is about 35 cents per bushel.
Chappell Hill, Texas.—The cotton
< rpp is about five or seven days later
than last year and is being carried to
market rapidly. The crop is about a
16 or 20 per cent reduction in acreage.
There will be no top crop on account
of the excessive dry weather. Corn is
much better and acreage about 20 per
eefat. larger than last year.
Brenham, Texas.—The crops are a
little later than they were at this time
last year. Cotton is better by two
weeks. Cotton is nearly half gather-
ed now on the uplands. Bottom cot-
ton is later. About 20 per cent, less
cqtton raised because less was planted
atid loss from death of the plant has
been unusually great. Worms did
very little damage. Farmers are mak-
ing their cotton to market as fast as
picked to catch the reOeut rise in
pricei. The weather has been extra
good for cotton picking and bolls are
opening fast. There will not be much
top crop. Tt is and has been very dry.
A good shower might help make a
light top crop on sandy soil; black soil
will make none. Corn, very good; 10
per cent more planted than last year
aid yields has been heavy. Not much
small grain raised in this section.
Independence. Texas.—The cotton
crop this season is some better than
last year, but nothing like so good as
farmers calculated on early in July.
The acreage ia about 15 per cent les's,
but the yield being better per acre the
aggregate will be near the same as
last year. The com crop is 2-5 per cent
better, and the increased acreage will
perhaps bring the percentrge to (it) per
cent above last year. Cotton is being
gathered rapidly, fully (>5 or 70 per
cent already gotten "and is being
marketed as fast as gathered.
Gay Hill, Texas.—The cotton crop of
this neighborhood is about two weeks
later than last year and is about 25
per cent short of last year's crop. The
farmers are well up with gathering.
A boot three-fourths of the crop has
beten marketed. There is no prospect
for a top crop, as the worms are at
work on the plant at this time. Corn
is ^ least 25 per cent better in yield
tfttk last year and in a fine condition
to be harvested. But little small grain
was sowed here; millet was about the
largest and made a fine crop.
Washington, Texas.—In regard to
<»>ttoo the crop is much better this
year than last; there was not as much
planted by 20 or 25 per cont, but the
crop is much better this year; just
here there will be about as much cot-
ton made as was last year, but it is
later by three weeks or a month and
no top orop, it is too dry. Cotton is
not held baek by the farmer.
The speech of Hon. H. P.
Monday night at the Grand
House was a subject of universal
ment Tuesday, amI every one
only words of pimlse for the
which was eloquent, logical and
vincing. His speech was commenced
on National issues, but he was not
long reaching the gubernatorial ques-
tion, which he in no way tried to
evade, but threw hot shot into the
Hogg ranks right and left. Htt por-
trayal of the difference in the two
platforms ana their relation to the na-
tional platform showed very
<iVejy which one Was democratic a;
was a complete refutation of HeriMtor
Coke's statement that there was no
material difference in the Hogg plat-
form and the National platform. The
speech was listened to with attention
and heartily applauded.
That Independence Suit.
The interesting suit which has been'
going on at Independence for some
time promised to have a termination
Monday. Judge E. P. Curry, O. L.
Eddins, R. J. Styles and Tom Rivers,
young lawyers of this city, and
Messrs. B. N. McNeil and Jake Btyles
went out Monday, and had a case in
the Justice court, which resulted in a
hung jury and was consequently a
mistrial. This suit they were not
much interested in, except for their
legal reputations and the fee, but the
other suits they were prosecuting with
heart and soul, and it is po doubt a
subject of regret that it had to j(£ain
be postponed lifter two days court.
Owl Meeting.
An owl meeting was held at Chap-
pell Hill Mouday night, for the pur
pose of endorsing Hogg, but it failed
of Its purpose. Sam Jenkins made
ranting speech in which he declared
that Clark was too good a democrat
for him to support, Ac. At the con
elusion of his harangue ltev. Dick
Browning was called for and he
mounted the stand and made it so not
for Jenkins that he retired from the
house rather hastily. Tt N said that
Ham also received a quiet notification
that it would be well for him to "hit
the road" for Brenham, and he did so
without further notification.

PRIVATE SECRETARY.
It is refreshing to turn from the
coarse knock about horse play and
dramatic absurdities with which the
stage abounds at present, to a clean
cut, refined and highly artistic pro-
duction of the legitimate school such
as "The Private Secretary," which
will be here on Thursday night.
Everybody revels in the beauties of
this humoristic creation and from the
time the curtain ascends until the end
there is one continued round of laugh-
ter.
Mr. Edwin Travers under whose
management The Private Secretary
will be presented here, has surround
ed himself with an excellent com-
pany, each member being selected
with a special view to the fitness of
the character they assume.
The scenery,, costumes and effects
will be entirely new and elaborate
and every attention will be paid to
every detail with a desire on the part
of the management to equal, if not
surpass, all former productions of this
most successful comedy.

charge of his brother Tom O'Neal

An Old Citizen Con*.
Died, at his home near Independence
Monday morning, in the 78th year of
his age, Mr. Richard Eldridge, after a
long and lingering illness from which

time.

of them so badly out of order that they
could not be used In case of fire. On

covery and Conquest of the New
World," aud will call on our citizens
in the interest of the work. Price from
$3.50 to $5.00 per oopy, according to
style and finish. It is a book contain*
ing a vast ampunt of Valuable informa-
tion, and would prove a valuable
acquisition to any library.
M.m Apparent Im>o.*iblljty.
The phrase "squaring th« circle" isan-
other way of spying "attempting fcn im-
possibility." The sllnMon is to the
mathematical question whether a circle
can be made which contains exactly the
same area as a square, and the difficulty
is to find the precise ratio between the
diameter and the circumference of a
rireie. Popularly it i^. 3.1439, etc., but
i numhsi^ yrttald£0 on to infinity,
is proqjfeul liusgiireu nse to an amount
labor onfv equaled by that bestowed
upon the equally impossible one of (lis-,
covering perpetual motion.—Broofcljffc
