We like to notice enterprise in this sec

the following from the Madison Journal:

Colonel +. ID. TOwne's cOttOn-gin, con-
s,lmed with all its contents on the twenty

prise which characterizes this fast age, the
timbers had scarce ceased to burn ere a
contract was made for the erection of a new
one, and now upon the old site stands a far
more substantial, cOmmOdiOus and impOs
ing edifice. The builders were Messrs.
Haste & McCloy, of Vicksburg, to whose
energy and ability as contractors we bear
cheerful testimony
The building is seventy feet long, the
mann structure being two and a half stories
hgh, with an addition to each side of one
story, ana ten feet wide, the full length of
the building, with an additional roof over
the boiler. There were consumed in its
erection Of, 0O0 feet OF lumber, $1,000 shingles
and fourteen kegs of spikes and nails.
There were three hundred and twenty DAYS
work upon the building, but it was com

The Texas Cattle Trade-VhO Own the
Big Herds.

The magnitude Of the Texas cattle trade
is surprising the world. Eastern journals
are filled with the marvellous accounts of the
vast herds of bovines that swarm over the
fertile areas Of the Lone Star State, and
more or less doubt as to the truth of the
figures given is often expressed. But cor
rOborative accounts multiply to such an ex-
tent that doubts are no longer tolerable.
From the Omaha Herald we clip the follow
ing article, which goes to the length of Civ
ing the names and addresses OF many Of the
owners of big herds:
Texas Ii truly the cattle hive of North
America. While New York, with her 4, OO0,
OO0inhabitan.s and her settlements two and
a half centuries old, has GAS, 900 oxen and
stock cattle; while Pennsylvania, with more
than 100000, has 72l 900 cattle; while
tie; while Illinois, with $500, 800 people, has
S67 900 cattle; and while Iowa, with l,200,-
OOOpeople, has $685. cattle. Texas. not
forty years Of age, and with her 500, 600
people, had 100000 head of oxen and
other cattle, exclusive OF cows in 1867, as
shown by the returns Of the county asses
eors. In 1870, allowing for the difference
between the actual number of cattle owned.
and tho number returned for taxation,
there must be fully 100000 head of beeves
and stock cattle.
This is exclusive of cows, which, at the
anne time, are reported at 100000 head. In
1872 they must number 100000, making a
grand total of 100000 head of cattle in
Texas. One-fourth of these are beeves,
one-fourth are cows, and-the other two
fourths are yearlings and two-year Olds.
There would, therefore, be $4,000 beeves.
$4,000 cows, and 100000 young cattle.
There are annually raised and branded 49,
900 calves. These cattle are raised on the
great plains of Texas, which contain 49,
100000 acres.
In the vast regions watered by the Rio
Grande, Nueces, Guadalupe, San Antonio,
Colorado, Leon, Brazos, Trinity. Sabine and
Red rivers, these millions Of cattle Craze

They are owned by ranchemen, who owl,
