A uOMETN TEXAS FOR JEFFERSON
DAVIS.

From the Marshall Tri-Weekly Her
aid we learn that, OH the first instant,
q meeting of citizens of Marshall was
held to organize an association "f)r
the purpose Of devising ways and
means of inviting HoE. Jefferson Da-
Wis to home for himself and family
i'm the state of Texas General NJ. ID.
Ector presided over the meeting, and
resolutions were adopted, of which this
is the gist:
ResolUod, That we, citizens Of Har-
rison county, Texas, organize ourselves
into an association to he called the Da-
Wis Homestead association OF Texas,
aud that it be auxiliary to other like
associations in our state.
Resolved, That 1t is our sole purpose
TO aid in raising a sufficient sum OF
money TO purchase, for the Hon. JEFF
ferson Davis, a home at such place as
be may select, and secure to him a
competency in the state of Texas.
Resolved, That we invite all ood
citizens Of Texas, male and female, to
unite with us in the accomplishment
OF the above purpose"
We feel confident that tremendous
and spontaneous outpouring Of our
people, witnessed here few days ago,
was something better than an exhibi-
tion Of mere idle curiosity to see the
famous statesman. 1t was a peoples
tribute to the moral worth and purity
Of character Of the man who for foul
years guarded the fortunes ofthe south.

dencg that the timely action Of the cit

response rom the people of Dallas, and
that an auxiliary society will be
formed here at 'e2ce.

Every housewife thinks she can
cook green's 1t is the simplest of
all dishes, and yet, in most cases, they
are not well served, for much depends
upon the manner in which they are
boiled. The water should be soft, and
a tablespoonful of salt added to large
sized pot of it, which should be boiling
hot when the greens are thrown In, and
then 1t should be kept on the boiling
gallop, but uncovered, until they are
done, which can be told by their sink
ing to tho bottom of the pot, and they
should be skinned out as quickly as
,-Issible into a cullender, 50 that all the
water will run out. Press them with
small plate, then turn upon platter,
add large piece of butter, and cut up
fine. Serve while smoking hot.

RICHARDSON, DALLAS co., |
June >, 1879, !
To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
We are in our harvest now in zeal
earnest, and have proved the opinion
true that we have the best wheat crop
that we ever had in Texas. A great
deal of the wheat will yield over thirty
bushels per acre, and we have no very
light crops. So we are sure of II very
large average yield, and send you II
head that got from my crop to-day,
that think is uncommon for Texas,
though very good wheat country.
Before any of it was broken of it had
twenty-five meshes, several of which
had five grain to the mesh, as you can
see for yourself, and the entire head
had ninety-nine grains in it. Our corn
prospects are just as good as we could
ask, all looking fine and in fine condi-
ton. Oats have come out and are still
coming out since the late rains beyond
anything that | ever saw. My oats
that was rather thin is sprouting up
from the ground, and promise yield
of sixty to seventy bushel per acre,
where it did not look ten days ago like
making twenty-five bushels per acre.
Our cotton crop that was so badly in
jured by cut worms during the dry
weather, is now coming up fresh and
is making a stand where it was entire
" too thin before the rains. Altogeth-
er, we have in this part of the county
the best prospect for an extra large crop
of everything that we have ever had
since the war. j. II. H..

FORT WORTH, June D, 'SiO.
TO the Editor OF the Dallas Herald:
The fears of our people in respect to
another drought are all dispelled. Re
cent rains have settled the question
for this year, at least, and our farmers
are cxultant and happy over the crop
prospects and consequent results. The
outlook for the farmer is indeed grati-
fying. Wheat is now being harvested,
and is turning out absolutely good.
The yield will run from twenty to
thirty-five bushels to the acre, and the
grain is plump and fair. The oats in
this section, that ten days ago were re-
glr,led as II total failure, are develop
ing into nearly full crop. Barley,
like the wheat, is exceedingly fine,and
the crop will be heavy. Corn shows u
prospect far in advance of any of the
five or six previous years, and alto
gcther we have great reason to rejoice.
The newcomers are well pleased
with the country, land there is every in
dlcation of heavy immigration of
substantial men with means this fall.
AS is always the case, those who
are selling out are moving further
west and the county generally is filling
up and in prosperous condition. Just
at this time Archer and Wichita
counties are attracting a very consider
able attention. A party of about
twenty families are preparing to take
up their residence and build them
selves homes at the well known "three
forks of the Little Wichita" in Archer
county. One man, Mr.. Frank Adams,
contemplates opening and planting
one thousand acres of winter oats on
ranche near the well known copper
mines, at the "three forks" He goes
with train load of tools and supplies
and fitted out to run ten plows. Ills
efforts will form nucleus for large
settlement in that region, which will
develop into rich agricultural, as well
as mineral country, and add largely to
the general wealth of the state.
The excitement in reference to the
delegate to the constitutional conven-
ton has not as yet run very high.
There seems to be lack of interest in
the matter on the part of the indepen-
dent sovereigns of the county, or at
least, if there is much interest felt, it
has not yet come to the sur
face. There may be an under
current that will ultimately un-
cover itself with favorable results.
The grangers of Tarrant met in coun-
Gil on Wednesday last, at this place.
and served up a bounteous dinner,
which we are told done great credit to
the order. They fed the multitude,
and had "grub" to spare.
We are not a granger, but we believe
in upholding and fostering to the ex-
tent of our limited ability, any organ
ization which tends to elevate labor
and all the common industries of life.
We may become a granger yet-who
knows! WRIT.

For several years past Georgia has
enjoyed the exclusive honor Of putting
on our market the first new flour, from
the wheat crops of the respective sea-
sons. This spring again she is prompt
ly to the fore, but her creditable enter
prise is equally shared by Texas ri
val. Yesterday, on Change, barrel
of flour from the crop of 1873, shipped
by Messrs. Harold, Johnson & Co of
Americas, Georgia, was exhibited by
Messrs. Shryock " Rowland, the con-
signees, and sold at auction for $50, the
purchasers being our famous bakOss,
Messrs, Garneau, Hillard ~ Co., who,
with characteristic generosity, present.
ed it for the benefit of the grasshopper
sufferers, and it will be sold to-day on
the Exchange, at ll.30, for the in
crease of that charitable fund.
Another presentation of new crop
Georgia flour, was two sacks
received by Mr.. IL. w. Chandler,
from Thomas DeWolf, of Chattahoo-
chic county, in chat state, which was
also sold to the highest bidder for
twenty-five dollars, Mr.. William Grass
muck being the successful competitor.
The Texas -four referred to was one
sack shipped by Mr.. J. II. Nichols, of
Dallas, to the president of the Mer-
chqmts' exchange, with the request of
the donor that it be sold for the benefit
of the poor of this city. We anticipate
lively competition on this offering, in
view of the noble object to be achiev-
ed, and have no DOUBT it will pass
through scores of hands by redonation
and sale, resulting in liberalization of
substantial sum, which shall aid in
making cheerful many a lonely hearth
and heart. The Globe-Democrat has
already referred to the splendid pros
poets of the Texas wheat crop, and we
trust the ample promise may be en-
tircly fulfilled, and if there be any
thing in auguries, it should, for its first
offering comes with blessings on its
wings.
