DEPUTY SHERIFF TOM FLOYD.
And He Sees an Eskridge and Pricks
His "PiniOn."

Last winter Mr.. J. n. Esllridge was
known as one of the largest buyers of
cotton in this city. His squabbles in his
rivalship With his brothers in the bust
ness were not so numerous as terrific,
when they did break out. This soon
won for him the unpaciiic yet express
i've title of one who was "on it," But
this nom dc gucrre did not affect his
general intercourse with the public, to
the extent of giving a ruggedness or
gfossness to his address, for he was
unremittingly polished in demeanor
and suave of tongue. This, however,
did not prevent telegram from pass
ing over the wires to Sheriff Barlsiey,
telling an ugly tale about j. n. e. The
purport of it was that J. n. Il. had
Killed man in Mississippi, and that If
J. \. Il. was in Dallas to take him
i'm out of the heat or cold, accordingto
the season. The alert T.. got wind of
this and after borrowing from Mr..
Richardson, connected with the house
of Messrs. b. f. Luce & Co., superbly
silver mounted siX-shoo,er he fades
away southwark. "Now," says our in
slant and wide awake sheriff, Major
Barley, to deputy Tom Floyd, rs soon
MS the telegram was received saying
that Eskridge was wanted, "proceed
to bring in Mr.. T.. ~ Then Floyd
swooped down on his prey like an
eagle, and fastened on him ut Troupe,
on the International railroad. In step
ping from the cars, he saw Eskridge
in an upstairs room of hotel at the
window. Eskridge saw Floyd and
made for the opposite window, leaped
out and was on the point of moving
out of sight. Quick as n flash of light
ming, Floyd darted around the
hotel and brought that to bear on his
man which never fails to find its mark
when Floyd brings down its trigger;
"Move not another step" shouted
Floyd. 81 defy you to shoot" Kissed
back the foiled yet still daring fugitive
aid then attempting to draw weap.
on, the sharp crack ofa pistol is heard
and the culprit's left arm drops shatter-
ed at his side. A moment and the
iron grasp of Floyd was upon him,
and in a few hours afterwards that
able and brave young officer lodges
him in the Dallas county Jail for the
Governor of Mississippi, who if he
"proves property pays charges" can
take him away.

STATE ITEMS.


In regard to that which seems to be
most interesting to the majority OF
our readers-the crop-we have to
say that at present the prospect for u
better has never, or for many years, at
least, been known. The recent alum
dant rains have made a heavy corn crop
q fixed fact. The cotton, too, promises
to be all the land can bring, and if no
mishap betide it many, many acres will
Weld bale each. This is no eXagger-
alton L Henderson Times.
The crops in this county are in SPLEEN
did condition. Cotton is doing well,
and the new crop of wheat is very sat
isfactory, both as to quality and size.
Corn is looking finely, and full crop
will be made. In Lampasas county,
lust across the river, they expect to
make from thirty-five to forty bushels
of corn to the acre. Cotton is doing
well, what there is of it, bu. the wheat
crop was a partial failure, fifteen TO
twenty bushels to the acre being the
average.-[San Saba News, July llth.
Such crops have never been gathered
in this country as will be this fall, If no
calamity befalls them from now on.
A gentleman who lives in Van Zandt
county informs us that the same might
be- said of the crops in that county. He
said il the worms did not appear at all,
and no other calamity befill them,
that the cotton planters, he believed,
would give one-half the cotton crop to
have the other half gathered.-[MIn
ola Advertiser.
The farmers have had enough rain
and now they want dry weather so that
they can save their fodder.
Corn. will be better than last year,
but enough was not planted.
The cotton crop is generally satisfac-
tory, but the worm is feared.
Some claim that those already here
are not the cotton, but only the grass
worm.-[Hempstead Messenger.
This county and Hamilton will make
as abundant yield as has ever been
known. This fall will relieve US of
financial pressure.--fGatesyille Sun.
1t is said that the average yield OF
corn on the Leon river, this year, will
be between fifty and seventy-five
bushels. The corn crop In this county
has seldom been surpassed.-l Gates
vile Sun.
Brownsville, Texas, has sent the first
bale of new cotton to New Orleans
that hss arrived there this season.
