To the Voters of the Sixte nth Judicial

have attended each Court In CHS District,
and made myself Known to you as candidate tor
the Office of District Attorney In every county
| have met with encouragement and support be-
yond my anticipa .iofls. 1t is gratifying to me
to know chat where am best known am recei-
wing the largest support-a support which can
not be taken from me; but with newly made
friends have reason to- fear that false reports
will be brought to- bear to drive them from nIy
standard on the yeaof the election.
1t has been animated 10 me that in some places

this circular, slowing the relation | sustain to
that AFFAIR." and to nip all false reports in the bud
Joseph Dunncgan was publicly whipped by
some citizens of Ellis county, on charge of set
ting ON foot a negro insurfec ion. J was con-
fined to my bed at the TIME with high fever,
and neither counseled. aided, nor advised in the
matter. In the killing of j. W. BGsby and Jfo.
Dunnegan on the 10Th of June tand it is now
known they were all the killed) had nothing
to do whatever; nor did | know any thing Of 1t
until their bodies were reported to be found !;
nor did ever advise counsel or aid in the affair
in any manner whatever. On that fatal day |
was in town attending pcaceably to my business
as more than one hundred witnesses will testify.
And, should be elected ~ the Office OF District
Attorney and these matters should come up for
judicial investigation, will say, that in that as
in all other cases shall perform my duty faith
fully, imparfialy and 10 The best Of my ability. 1t
is easy for those who know me to believe that in
official matters shall know no friends nor ere1Ves
Il shall know nothing but the law and that
faithfully executed.
1t is proper for me to say, that no influence of
this can effect me where | am well known; and
if you cooperate in electing me TO the Office to
which I aspire, shall ever remain your most
obedient servant.

Barley.

A few Of our farmers have experimental IN grow
ing barley. The r suits have lecn highly satisiacto-
ry. As an instance, We will give the result Of tri-
al ma de by the Hon. A. ]. Witt residing on Ten Mile,
in the Southern portion of this county, 10 past sea-
son. Mr.. Witt sowcd two bushels at the usual wheat
sowing season, on one and thrcc-fourhs acres Of
grouni-hreaking up the ground and narrowing it
in. After coming up 1t was grazcd heavily with
stock until the LIST Of March. II Was moved with
.cythcs late, after il md been ripe about two weeks,
the pressure in rcaping wheat having deferred its
moving until that time. It lay n the swath two
weeks bcforcit was threshcj. Was put N the wa
CONS with pch-orks and hauled to the threshcr, and
measured ont l-2 bushels. Mr. Witt estimates
that at least ID bushels were left on the ground by
imperfect moving and lost by its standing AMI ~
ins too long on the ground, rough handling, &c. So
that lie proceeds of the crop, had il all been saved
would have been at least 10 or Ia bushels, or from
GSto Go bushels per acre. The experiments of other
farmers VIC learn have been equally successful.
Barley is said to be better pipvcn,ler for horses
hogs, than other grains Its cultivation is attended
with no more expense than the other small grains
it is considered surcr crop. and is yield being
greatly larger, it is believed that its cultivation will
be general, and it will to great extent super
sctle the growing of corn. except for bread. We
urge upon farmers generally to introduce its culture
