ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELLORS
AT LAW,
DENISON, TEXAS.
I
Will practice in the State and U. S
Courts.
Mr. Perry is also a Notary Public, dij-1
“Marion,” Va.—There is no danger
from Indian depredations within from 150
to 2o« miles of Denison. The best time
in the year to come to Texas to engage in
the agricultural pursuits is in tlm winter
or veiy earlv in the spring, so as to be on
hand, to nuke a crop the first season.
“T. M.”—Whitesboro, Texas.—You
are mistaken. The cotton compress has
not been removed to Dallas, on the con-
trary is in full blast every day. Mr.
Chadick, the proprietor, is erecting a com-
press at Waco, in this State.
“A. W. O.”—Waterloo Iowa.—The
Th ermometer lias not fallen below 190
above zero at this place this winter, but
it sometimes, though seldom, falls to
120 above zero for a few hours. The
ground is never frozen so as to interfere
with agricultural operations.
Old Texan.”—We know of but one
picture of David Crockett, painted from
life, and that hangs in Representative
Hall, at Austin, It is an old work of art.
Crockett is represented dressed in a buck-
skin hunting suit. The likeness of the
old hero is considered faulty in some of
the features.
So the fruit grower may with proper
management have constantly on hand for
market a supply of fresh and sound ap-
ples. Green apples are now worth in
Denison $9 per barrel, while 1 lie climate
of Texas is admirably adopted to the
growth of most of the choicest varieties
produced in the United States.
“David A.”—Waterford. Pa.—Texas
may well be said to be “the home of the
peach,” as it seems to be of almost spon-
taneous growth, the seedling, in most
cases, under favorable circumstances,
bearing the second year after planting the
stone, the fruit being ot fine grain, a de-
licious tlavor and nearly free from the
ravages of insects. There are several
varieties of winter apples, which keep
well here for several weeks alter m*ny
kinds of early apples are fully matured.
“J. M.”—Elizabeth, N. J.—The popu-
lation of Denison is 4000 or over, and
that of this count" about 19,000, which,
l:ke that of several adjoining counties, is
prin ipally agricultural, and as there is a
yastjfcxtent of rich agricultural country
tributary to this place, it is a very cen-
tral point for a wholesale and retail agri-
cultural implement and hardware busi-
ness. There are now two hardware
stores here. For hz nfulness and salu-
brity of climate, there is no place like
Texas.
“Win. II. S.”—Bluff Springs, Ills.—
Three or four thousand dollars would
purchase four or five hundred head of
good 1 lock cattle, which if properly man-
aged for two years, would sell for twice
what they cost, and as the Texas pastures
are perpetual, and as free as our health
invigoratingbreezcs.it is plain that the
net profits of the cattle business are
large.
“Farmer,” Rav Town, Mich.—To give
you something ot an idea of the profita-
bleness of stock raising in Texas, we
will submit the following table showing
the anim. 1 increase :
A man owns a cow, which at tiie age
to a calf, and
The pro-
Suppposmg
$12 per acre, and products are sold tor
lower pi ices than are realized for the
same products in our Texas markets.
“Educator.”—St. Louis, Mo.—The pub-
lic school building has not been aban-
doned. Our present city council seem
determined to have the building com-
pleted early this spring. The proposition
for Issuing bonds to the amount of $15,-
000 will be voted upon on the 4th inst..
and it is confidently believed the’propo
sition will carry by a large majority.
When this school is opened good and
comeptent teachers will be in demand.
FROM AUSTIN.
We extract the following from the
Dallas Herald, 24th : ^
Mr. Ball introduced a bill urging
on Congress the speedy reimburse-
ment of Henry Warran for damages
done by Santana and Big Tree’s
raid.
Senate bill repealing all laws
authorizing all towns, counties and
cities to levy a tax and to make do-
nations to railroads was discussed to
adjournment.
In the bouse the senate amend-
ment to the house bill locating bran-
ches of the Supreme court at Galves-
ton and Dallas was taken up and
passed. Thus Dallas is stricken out
anu Tyler inserted. The vote stood
forty-seven to thirtv-four.
By Mr. Kemble : A petition from
Ellis, asking the incorporation of the
Waxahachie and Ennis Telegraph
company.
The special order house bill pro-
viding for the payment of the Moat-
ing debt of the State by the issuance
and sale of bonds, was taken up, en-
grossed and passed.
Adjourned till to-morrow.
The Senate adjourned till Monday.
Ex-Governor Davis, when called
before the committee on address
against judge Priest yesterday, gave
hi*; evidence under protest. He
claims that the Fourteenth Legisla-
ture is illegal and himself to be gov-
ernor until the 28th of April.
The committee investigating the
charges against Judges Williamson
and Cooper will probably end their
investigation Saturday or Monday.
Judge J. J. Thornton is awaiting the
arrival of witnesses in hiscase. The
other judges have not yet arrived.

“Wm.”—Joliet Ills.—Texas is unques-
tionably the place for an English colony
to locate, as the soil and climate are well,
adapted to all the products of your mother
country, and the best lands in the world
can be bought outright and improved for
less than one years rental of the same
amount of land in England. This will
also pply to renters in the old States
where improved lands rent for from $5 to
J. W. McNutt, one of the parties
implicated in the murder of a man
by the name of Seiver, at Wichita,
Kansas, a short time ago, was ar-

tiie horrible crime. The object of
the murder was to secure a $5000

and have the body of the murdered
Seiver identified as that of McNutt.
