HERE it is again. The Houston Tel
egraph values the good weather at
100000 per diem. Some of our ex-
changes say 1t isn't worth cent so far
as the cotton crop isconcerned. Where
so many doctors differ, how Is true
diagnosis to be reached? The Jimple-
cute will note the following, and let US
hear from II again. We are an earn
est seeker after light OH this subject:
A great many who have been enjoy
ing the magnificent weather with
which we have been blessed since the
LIST of October, little dreamed what u
source of wealth II was to our state.
Every day of fine weather during the
month of October was worth 100000
to Texas, aud every day of fine weather
up to the 10th of the present month
will average the same. Thirty days of
fine weather last month added sixty
thousand bales to our crop of cotton,
worth S3, 900 900 to our planters, and in
the same proportion will II be up to
the Oath of November Good weather

The business men of Dallas did not
do themselves Justice on Thursday In
the matter of receiving the Tennessee
excurslonists. Why was II? This
was the question the excurslonlsts all
asked. Is II that Dallas does not need
any more population, or Is II because
there was no chance TO make three pei
cent month out of the crowd ?
The Memphisites enjoyed the
speeches hugely, and In 50 doing
showed their intelligent appreciation
but otherwise they looked upon II as n
very dly shocking.

acres which he had sown in oats yielded
fifty bushels to the acre, threshed and

to realize the same amount from it this

DALLAS HERALD, 10Th: "A Mr..
Ashbury, living near Scyene, had, on
Monday lust, fifteen Of what are known
~ screw flies taken from his nose and
throat, In which they were lmbedded.
Mr.. Ashbury was removing this species
of worm or fly from II bruised shoulder
OF one of his horses some time ago,
and In some way, II Is supposed, they
got upon his person, and finally into
his flesh. His nose, throat and month
were very much swollen aud inilamed
by their presence"
This IL the same Mr.. Ass-berry who
was registrar of Dallas county In 1867,
aud who tantalized and insulted south
ern men who came before the board
to register. We remember distinctly
Of applying and being told by Ass
berry that before we could register we
must give dentist wholesale job of
pulling all our teeth, and removing
rebel blood from our veins. Now, ASS
berry, permit us to advise that the sur
geon proceed to his duty OF removing,
not only the screw flies, but maggots
and vermin of all kinds from your
purifying carcass. DO not villify your
horse In any such way. You know full
well that the filthy worms were germ
mated in your own corrupt, unclean
body and mckinney Enquirer.
