DENTON COUNTY.

We publish, in this issue, IN in
teresting letter from our esteemed
correspondent from Denton county,
and desire to express our concur
renee in what he says about the ad,
vantages Of his county, rs n home
for immigrants. There arc few
counties in Texas, or in the United
States, for that matter, possessed OF
greater. Cheap and fertile lands, u
healthy climate, good society, and a
law abiding population, arc recon,
mendati0ns which men Of family,
looking for homes, cannot afford to
overlook All these may be found
in the county from which our friend
writes.
In regard to the advantages
which would accrue to Dallas, from
the completion Of tho Dallas and
Wichita railroad, our correspondent
does not overestimate them. Onr
citizens are also fully alive to them,
but in our present condition, we can
not see how we can do more than we
have done. Dallas, like other new
towns, has but little capital not ne
lively employed, in current bust
ness of orr merchants and traders,
and as long rs those who have
money TO lend can get two and
three per cent u month, we will
look in vain for Investments for the
most useful purposes, such ~ the
building Of the Dallas aud Wichita
railroad.

GRAIN sPATIsEICA.

We Iourn from the circular of Ed
mand l.. Wright q Co., of New
York, that the receipts Of wheat ut
that port for the seven months end
ing the 3lst OF July, were l2,l72,-
$50 bushels, against %, ,577
bushels, and the exports l3,4G8,G32
bushels, against %, 500, GGG bushels,
for the corresponding period Of last
year.
The circular adds this gratifying
piece Of information, which we
trust marks the beginning of n new
era for the South "a most note
worthy fact is that for years past
tho South has been II customer, in
this market, for flour, wheat and
corn, and this year she has not only
raised enough to supply her own
needs, but has n surplus to send here
for export the benefit Of which she
will ultimately feel, more than can,
ut present, be reaIized.'

either tho Constitutional Conven-

We hold that this would not only

but that under tho circumstances,

engaged in II course which has al

and by the insoIcnt assertion and
exercise of its right to tax every

shutting the people out from access

nETVER VARIETIES or WHEAT

Now that the season is near at
hand when our iarmers will begin
to prepare to seed their fields, for
the new wheat crop, it will be II
prudent foresight in them to be
looking about for tho best varieties
for sowing.
When it is considered that it costs
no more labor or expense, except
the small difference in tho price of
the seed, to produce II hundred
bushels Of wheat, worth in this
market SIS, than to produce 80
bushels Of an inferior variety,
worth 81 cents per bushcl, the folly
Of sowing inferior wheat is appar-
cnt.

DENTON, August g., 1879.

DENTON, August =, 1879.
70 the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
Denton is, and has, for weeks, been
Hooded with representative men from
various directions looking for locations
for their constituents. Her magnifl-
cent grain harvest, aud tlattering pros
pect for cotton, to say nothing of her
vineyards and orchards, is lending to
Denton, just now, attractions that can
not fail to turn the tide of Immigration
hither this fall, to an extent never be-
fore known, indeed, when we come to
view the magnificent domain compris-
ing three-fourths Of this county, the
cheapness Of lands, the fertility of the
soil, the abundance of water and the
healthfnlness and purity of the atmos-
phere, il does seem strange that Den
ton has not developed to an extent
equal to that of the fairest and best Of
her sisters

4 NEW MAHSEEr FOR DALLAS
FLOUR

Tho Henderson Times, of the 9th,
says that n car load Of Dallas flour
had reached that place, and was
considered equal to the best of ST.
Louis brands, The Times says Of this
event that sit dates the Inaugural
ton Of reciprocal trade, between
eastern and western Texas that
must increase to vast proportions,
adding wealth, convenience and
prosperity to both sections"
The completion Of tho tap road
from Ovcrton to Henderson, now in
progress of construction, will make
Henderson one Of the most impor.
tant towns of Eastern Texas, by
drawing to that point the trade of
several rich counties lying to the
south and southeast, which have
heretofore shipped their cotton,
hides, etc, to Marshall and Shrcvo-
port
The Times very Justly remarks;
With all these demonstrations
around us, why is il that we hear peev-
ish declarations calculated to injure
the cause OF railroad progress ? The
purpose of the demngogues ito use the
words of II cotemporary) who clench
their fists and shake their empty
pates, and without particle of proof
vociierate about railroad opposition
and railroad rings, Is very well under
stood to be Observation-Disclosures bv
arousing the passions of ignorance and
Jealousy. The people now witness the
daily reduction of charges on freights,
and are rapidly arriving at the conclu-
sion, that their true interest demands
the increase of railroad building, be-
cause, ms we have seen, 1t cheapens
ireights by competing lines and adds
wealth and convenience. AT the same
time, they will demand all necessary
legislation, to prohibit abuses and con
fine them strictly to the terms of their
charters.

Siefreid, a farmer living in the vicinity,
were testing their skill in shooting at a
mark with shotguns, when an alteration
occurred as to which had made the best
shot. Siefreid advanced toward Kifer
to strike him; Kifer warned him of, but
he continued to advance in a.menacing
manner, and Kifer lodged a charge Of
shot in his abdomen, killing him almost
instantly. Kifer went to Belleville and
gave himself up to the authorities and
was lodged in jail.
