The army worm has made its appearance in portions of Red River county. Waco has found a freak in the person one John M. Franklin, a farm laborer, confined in the sick ward of the county jail at that place, whose collar bone is said to be in two sections, or what is termed double jointed. The bones move about loosely under the skin without any apparent connection with the body. Twelve hundred bales of cotton have been ginned in Frio county to date. The feed crop in Randall county is very large this season.
Hands are in demand to harvest it.
Over 200 families recently arrived from the Panhandle are employed picking cotton in Hill county. The new compress at La Grange is now in operation. At Denison, Henry Bogard, while asleep on a veranda, fell from his chair and fractured his left arm at the elbow. Three insane people are at present confined in the Fannin county jail, there being no room for them in the asylum. Large crowds attend the campmeeting at Abilene, which is conducted by J. W. Hill, editor of the Dallas Christian Advocate.
