MORE TEXAS NEWS.

At the request of Mr.. Joshua
Jackson, of Lost Mountain, Cobb
county, Ca, we publish the follow
ing letter received by him:
RoCKwALL, TEXAS. Jan. 20, '76.
DEAR FRIEND-After some delay
once more give you a sketch of
our ups and downs in this part OF
Texas. We are still blessed with
good health, and have great reason
to be thankful for the blessing of a
bountiful crop the past year. The
small grain crop was the best since
the war. There was a good aver~
age crop of corn 10 this county,
tgough not generally so throughout
the State. Cotton was very good.
All lands, except new ground, has
made an average of one bale per
acre. The people are generally out
debt and are in prosperous condi>
ton. Political matters hold a prom
iuent position in the hearts of the
people here at this time. We have
just had new constitution framed,
aud we vote to rstify or reject it on
The 10th of February.
Wheat is looking fine. The win
ter has been very warm. Irish pc
tatoes have grown three or four
inches high, and other vegetation in
proportion. 10 reading the MARIET-
IA JOURNAL, | frequently dud let
ters describing Texas, and cannot
say but what they are correct in the
main, for | know but little about
Texas, from the fact that | have on.
Iy travelled over portions of five or
six counties in Texas ; but | am
persuaded that those who wrote
those letters knew as little about
Texas as | do. The last letter ]
saw was from an Acworth gentle>
man, and truly felt sorry for the
Doctor. If he had called on me
| would have given him plenty of
milk, butter, potatoes, cabbage, tur-
nips, and English peas (dried,) and
also enough of butter and cold pota-
toes to have lasted him back to the
white settlements, | would like,
also, for the Doctor to know we are
trying to civilizs this country by
educating the children. Our coun-
ty is only about twelve miles square,
has voting population of about
400 and now has FIVE schools all
white one Of them having an ayers
age of one hundred students When
you consider the large territory, you
will at once see that it is folly for
man to leave Georgia, and in one
month or six weeks return and be
competent to advise his friend 10 re-
gard to moving to Texas. The
same difficulties exist here that does
elsewhere. Advantages and disad-
vantages are mixed and we can't
them. Therefore to enjoy
one we must encounter the other. -
AS my letter is already too long, |
must close. Yours truly,
l.. w. MASON.

DOING NOTHING. -

Our merchants say they are doing
nothing and can't afford to adver
tise. Stephen Girard, who did
much business during the dull seas
ons of trade, aud died a millionaire,
rarely advertised in the busy season,
when asked why he always adver-
tised during the dull season, replied,
that during the busy season there
was not SO great necessity, for pur-
chasers were plentiful, but during
the dull season then was the time to
catch the floating trade by judicious
advertising and holding out peculiar
inducements to buyers. That dis
played wise business tact and he
prospered. -Sauannah Free Press.

A TEXAS correspondent of the
Rome Courier does not give a very
encouraging view of that FL Dorado.
He says:
This whole State is over flooded
with immigrations from all parts of
the country. All the new corners
are cursing Texas and wishing they
were out of the place; but, alas !!
how few of them can get out of it
without money or friends. Goods
are very high in Texas you can get
them, as a general thing, cheaper in
Rome. There is more gambling car
ried on 10 Texas than in any three
Southern States.

BURNED ALIVE.

A Texas mob has just been guilty
of most fendish and objectionable
atrocity. Anthony Smith, a negro
who had murdered J. M. Baker, a
young farmer, was tried and SEN
fenced to be hanged at Cameron,
and now the Galveston News says !:
Just before daylight an armed body
Of horsemen, forty or fifty strong,
rode into Cameron and made their
way to the Jail. They forced an en-
trance, took the prisoner from his
cell, and conducted him some miles
out from the town, where they put
him to death in a most horrible
manner. The condemned and doom>
ed negro was tied up by the hands,
fuel collected and heaped around
him, and a fire kindled, which grad =
ually blazed and enveloped his body
burning it to crisp. Not satisfied
with the torture inflicted and the
consequent death, the mob riddled
the charred remains with bullets
1t was an unparalleled case eff law
lessness, inasmuch as the courts had
shown such vigilance.

A WIFE'S POWER.

A good wife is to a man wisdom,
strength and courage; bad one con-
fusion, weakness and despair. No
condition is hopeless to a man where
the wife possesses the frmness, de.
cision and economy. There is no
outward propriety which can couu-
teract Incidence, extravaganza and
folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is strong
but his heart is not adamant.--
He needs tranquil mind and es-
pecially if he is an intelligent man,
with a whole head, he needs its NOR
al force in the conflict of life. To
recover his composure, home must
be a place Of peace and comfort
There his soul renews its strength,
and goes forth with renewed vigor
to encounter the labor and troubles
of life. But if at home he finds no
rest and is there met with bad tenn
per, jealousy and gloum, or assailed
with complaints and censure, hope
vanishes, and he sinks into despair.

WHERE THE MONEY IS.

We don't know where the follow
ing comes from, but it gets pretty
near the secret of tho trouble:
One of the peculiarities of the times
is the difficulty of obtaining money,
and yet there is more money some
where in the country, than st any
former period. The diStrust that has
pervaded all over the country, in>
Guiding all ranks and conditions Of
men, has caused those in possession
of money to hoard it up, and some
tall lying has been done by this class
of men-in saying that they had no
money. When the momentary panic
struck the country eighteen months
ago, followed by gras0hopperS 10 the
West, and short crops in the South,
moneyed mems minds were tilled
with fears and doubts, and capitalists
set all their wits to work to collect
every dollar of Indebtedness that
they could call in. A Boston mill
ionaire, who died few weeks ago,
actually had several millions of dol
lars snugIy hid away, doing no one
any good. Multiplied thousands of
men all over the country now have
countless millions of dollars boarded
up yielding them nothing, while the
country languiSheS for the want Of
culating medium to carry on com
mercial and agricultural pursuits.

THEODORE TLToN has reiterated
his statement that wine was drunk
to excess on the funeral train which
brought the remains Of Vice Presi-
dent Wilson from Washington to
Boston. The Philadelphia commit
tee did the drinking.
These Centennial Philadelphians
are jolly fellows, to which nobody
would have any right to object il
they would only pay for their own
frolics. What we do object to is
their way of making Congress post
their bills.

THE WAY OUT OF POVERTY.


There are many thousand of res
pectable versions and families 10 our
land at the present time greatly Grip.
Piled by pecuniary endorsements,
and not few are grinding in the
prison-house of poverty, and know
not the way out. The way marks
are, good common sense in exercise,
Industry, self denial, good economy,
and pay as you go. Let ms look at
the way marks on the road side to
prosperity
/. There are thousands ground
down in perpetual poverty sim ply
because they do not and will not
bring their good sense to bear upon
their circumstances. They build
castles in the air, and these come
tumbling down on their heads. In
stead of depending upon small and
honest gains with saving, they att
tempt to raise themselves by artif-
ces and doubtful speculations. Wis
dom in all these matters is profitable
to direct. A daily dose of good COM
mon sense, applied outside outside
and in, would straighten things out,
and eet them building on the rock of
industry and frugality, and not on
the vagaries of an erratic fancy.
,. The poor man, if he means to
rise, must look we'll to his time and
skill. These are both marketable
commodities, and bring money
Every laboring man must make the
best possible use of his time and
skill. They are his stock in trade,
aud should not remain idle. A day
wasted is at best like throwing SO
much money into the fire. IF there
is no work in the shop, in the field,
in the office or store, there is in
the garden, in the wood house, or in
the house, making improvements and
putting all right. allow no time to
rue waste no time for visiting, for
excursions, or pleasure taking when
wants call for tell aud attention.
"The diligent hand maketh rich."-
A poor man who loafs away $50 a
year soon squanderJ enough in this
way alone to furnish himself and
family with a good cosy home.
,. Another Way-mark on the road
from poverty to prosperity is self
deuial. You do not need fancy
clothing, nor fancy food, nor fancy
amusements, nor fancy society. Our
real wants are few and simple. The
most of US may weed not much from
our tables, our wardrobes, and our
sensuous pleasures, and our health
and happiness would be improved,
and much money saved for the day
of need. Tobacco, patent medicines,
artificial drinks of all kinds, confec>
tionrey, pastry and condiments may
be bonished from our lips, hearts and
tables with great saving of time,
health and money. Self indulgence
is a prodigal and a speudthrift, and
comes to want and often to crime.
8. But there is one more way
mark. 1t is: Live within your in~
come and pay as you 60. A poor
man should never get in debt sin
gle penny for his living. If you
ever mean to work up into compe-
tency, shut down the gate Of debt SO
far as current living expenses are
concerned. These simple rules, hear
tily adopted and faithfully carried
ont, and nine out of ten now embar-
raised and put to their wits end how
to Iiue, laundering in the slough of
debt, and compromising their good
name and honor, would speedily find
the sunny path of prosperity, and
become independent in their crcum-
| stances.
