which were very acceptable to the farmers.
In Anderson county and that section, clear and
cool weather is reported, with frost. The first
frost in the region of Corpus Christi took place

orally been most favorable TO the cotton crop The
grain crops sown in the last two or three months,
are reported, generally, as growing finely with a.
fine prospect of heavy yield.

scalped, stripped, and cut with knives in horrible
manner. He had good six-shooter; several shots
