GREAT PoPuLAHrrY.-Dr. Prices Cream
Baking Powder and True Flavoring tx
tracts, nectarine, rose, lemon, etc, have
been before the public many years and have
gained for themselves, on their own merits,
an extensive sale. Their great popularity
is mainly due to the scrupulous manner in
which they are prepared, the using of the
purest and best materials, with special refer
ence to their healthiulness. We never tire
of using them, for they are always the same.
Articles in which they are used have no dis
agreeable odor or sicIlY taste, but are al
ways enjoyable.
RAM.-This section was visited on Mon
day night with another fine rain, which is
an additional assurance for fine crop.
Certainly we are having a very fine season,
and everything is truly encouraging to
farmers and the State. A gentleman who
arrived from Bolton yesterday says that
that section of the State was also visited
by cOpious rain Monday night, and that
crops are growing fiuely in Bell and Will
hanson counties. People from over the
river also boast of fine rain there, so we
infer that the rain has been general.
HoUsToN newspapers and correspondents
say that a plan is on foot, byJ. G. Tracy,
e. ]. Davis & Co., to resurrect the Calves
ton Mercury and run Grant organ. In the
last year or two, since the demise of the
State Journal, two or three efforts have been
made to start Republican paper in Austin,
but when the hat was passed around the
patriots failed to respond and hence the
sonorous notes of Radical ''organ" do not
as yet watt on the gentle breezes of this
latitude, and we hardly think the Calves
ton resurrection will take place. tis
In his late report, Mayor Wheeler says.
1--WE should now resolve to pay as zoe 90,
have nothing done unless we have the
money to pay for it," The story of sour
grapes would be good to apply to this pretty
little episode of the Mayor. The city has
already been run in debt about as much as
the law will permit, and this thing of issu-
ing bonds is about played out. Pay as we
go ought to have been in his former mes
sages. rsa~

IRON WELL WATER. -Messrs. Smith &
Barrow, who are engaged in boring wells,
inform us that well they bored for Judge
Campbell, over the river, produced water
strongly impreguated with iron. Parties
who think they need iron water can ride
over to the Judges and drink their I'LL.
In the Mayors report for the quarter end
ing on the third of May, the receipts of
the city during the three months are stated
to have been $909S, and the expenditures
$24, $40. OF course, the balance between
the receipts and expenditures was made up
by the sale of 500, 900 in city bonds.
THE race track of the Capital State Fair
Association is now being pIowed and
dragged. After it is completed a tight
board fence, eight feet high, is to be put
around the eighty-fve acre tract, the cost
of which will be about $4,000.
Corn is now selling at seventy-ive cents
a bushel, a decline of fifteen cents in the
last week. Buyers are confident that it
will continue to Decline, and that in
month from this time it can. be bought at
from forty to fifty cents.
THE Mayors report shows that over $4,000
have been spent for the last three months
in improving the streets. We are nom
plused in an attempt to understand where
this large amount of money has been used.
THE Austin Lodge of Good Templars has
elected John Devlin, lodge deputy, and
H. L. Bently as delegate, and G. W. Moore
alternate to the grand lodge which will
meet in this city in July. gffe
