Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
have not seen anything from this.
your old neighborhood in long time. /
will jot you down few lines to let you
know how We are getting along.
First. people are blessed with good
health as a general thing. Crops are
looking well considering the dry weather.
/ see something in your paper concern
ing the institute, which comes Off the %
Of July. Loud calls for the common
school teachers TO attend, and heavy
thr.ateaiUgs ifthey don't attend and pay
the 81 is being made, aud l confess ! was
sorry to see such threat by the Com.
missioner. il il WAS him. After a man
has purchased an article it looks hard TO
have his right TO use said article revoked.
q am not teacher) Sometimes when
men get into authority, they use all they
have got, then after awhile they are
ready to change their arbitrary tone and
make their revokes to read invokes.
Boys, go to the institute il you have no
certificate, but il you secured lirsl>class
certificate last summer, just 60 down and
pay DIR. Reynolds two dollars, aud that
will do whether you stay or not No,
maybe you had better go down and pay
Mr.. King a V for board, and then you
may go home. and the right foot of the
commissioners power will not come down
with such venom. Over a year ago we,
ss a people. applied for district, gave
the boundary. and said boundary was re-
ceived and district granted, and some
body suffered the children to be reported
in other districts, so as to bring the nun
Der below forty. and we were cut out Of a
five months school. Somebody has been
remiss in duty. but we have borne all
this and didn't revoke worth a cent.
Saturday noxt is the day to elect trustees,
but some OF the patrons arc not going,
because they don't know where to 60.
They say they live in one district, and
their children are reported in another.
This state Of things ought not to be.
The politics of the day are assuming
a different shape to what was expected
soon after the convention. Ny advice to
all good Democrats is to stand firm TO
your post, never desert the ranks in the
hour OF danger. II the Democrats don't
stand aud pull a long and strong pull for
our standard>bearer in August next, we
will 60 back on our November record.
Shall We DO it, 10. no. never.

The Murphy Movement.


The murphy Temperance Movement
about which the readers of the daily pa
pers have seen so much in the last few
months has been successfully inaugurated
in many cities of the Union. The move
ment is very like the old "Washingtonian
Movement that swept like wildfre over
the,country some years ago, and its pop.
ularity is something wonderful. The
Murphy advocates make no war directly
on TIE distiller or saloon>keeper, but
seek to induce men to sign a pledge OF
total abstinence. The following is the
form Of the pledge:
National Christian Temperance Union.
With Malice T6teard None C. ChGriyfor Al
], the undersigned, de PLEDGE my word & honor
GOD HELPING NE,
to abstain from ALL Intoxicating Liquors as a
beverage, and that l will, by all honorable
means, encourage others to abstain.

Editor Herald:
have seen several interesting letters
from Hoover Hill and Buck Horn, and
at the blowing of the last horn, awoke
and found myself speaking or rather
beating drum for Buford.
Buford is not behind other locations in
any thing save that Of not having a let
ter every week for the HERALD, and we
DO not intend TO be behind longer in that,
if you think these few lines worthy n
place in your paper.
In spite OF European and Turks war,
Buford is business little town. We
have three dry goods houses, one drug
store and one grocery. The grocery is
conducted by j. C. Riley, a worthy gen.
tleman and lover of good society, there
fore we are satisfied the grocery will be
conducted in first class business style.
The dry goods houses are conducted by
Magan L Hewlett, Holbrook & Rogers
and Z. Scwab { Bro Msgan q Hewlett
are doing a good business, Scwab q Bro,
is but little while in our town, but are
doing very well, IIolbrook a. Rogers who
were thought to be shipwrccked in con-
sequence Of having changed their mode
of business from credit to that of cash
system, are selling more goods than they
did before the change, but are selling al
fcarfully small profits. CIV. Hussey is
the style name of our blacksmith chop
lie is an industrious man and under
stands his business, he cah twist iron in
many shapes.
Wheat crops are all cut and are being
threshed. Dat crops are good, and thC
people are busy taking care OF them
Corn crops are very flattering.
Mr.. Editor | wish You success, and
your paper q wider circulation, and wher
hear the horn blow again, / will bea
my DRUM.

Editor Herald.
We now write you in reply to those
who have been eating at Ro>inc and
Iiceon Roost, before they understood our
position. We never nave called for an
other convention. We simply called
ANON the committees 10 cpTc together
and have a consultation, and il they
thought best 10 petition Coleman TO with
draw, all right, and il they thought best
for him to rcms,n, all right We wanted
10 act for The good Of the party, aud VIC
want yoar readers to bear in mind that
we are not enemies in the camp. IL
there ever Was lover Of Democracy in
the county, am one. and would not for
all that wealth -, and wealth means,
contribute anything that would tend to
our downfall. As | wrote before, 1 have
no preferences. and am not interested in
any individuals success But am
interesied-deeply interested. for the sue
cess of the party, and we will go our
length for Coleman, here AZ the COM
mittees failed to meet, We take il for
granted that they are satisfied, and we
will boom her through. don't think
those who cut At Us in the last issue
tally know US, and in fact they have mis-.
construed our language. Our letter IN
Issue OF July 4th ought TO satisfy the pso-
pie that We mean to do right Ws.think
Mr. Subscriber and Mr.. Leach should
have written sooner, aud not waited three
weeks TO pouuce upon US. deemed 1t a
critical moment, and my letter demanded
immediate notice. think my last letter
fully explains my position, and there
should be a quietus TO further carping.
As TO Capt. Hill there is not a man in
my knowing that would sooner support,
and will so my full length for him at all
hazards. If there is an individual out.
side Of the three that canvasSed for the
nominstion that desired to make the race
il is wholly unknown tome. As to hav-
ing an axe TO grind, have none, and ]
think II uubeconing in yourCromwell cor
respondent TO cast such reflections. We
do not propose to step down and out, but
We inteHd TO serve the interests Of the
Democratic party. As TO the fluttei
about ROsine, We simply say there needs
10 be a fluIter and a flap nll over tn,
county. in order that we may win tn,
race, and We Democrats are going TO keel
our wings fluitering from now until tn,
first Monday in August, for w. D. Cole
man. regardless Of all this carping from
other sources. We say, Democrats, rail-,
and lets elect Coleman; we can do il if W,
viii futter IN the right manner. Let
keep down strife and discord, and worl
tremendously to accomplish our end
We thought il right that the committee
should come together uAder the circum
stances, hence our communication. A
they did not do it, we are perfectly salts
fed, and are going to be found ralyinI
for the right AZ Coleman is the man
lets elect him, and then We shall hav
done our duty as true Democrats.

El,tor Herald:
Oar ueishborhood is unusually quiet,
a sohricty reigns aud seems the precursor
of better days in this quarter. How ne
cessary such change is, those who know
us can the better Judge.
Notwithstanding the dry, hot weather,
oar crops look we'll; but the rain to-day
will put corn and tobacco in fine condi-
ton. Wheat has been harvested, and,
never, in the history of the county, has
such heavy crops been raised, if the opin-
ions Of old citizens are taken. judging
from my inmcdiat; neighbors farmers,
Wright, Weller, Stevens, Ashley, and
others, ! conclude it il SO. They are all
good farmers, aud, iflocated in the fertile
lands ofTexas, 81 which glowing accounts
are given by Esquire Tiliord, would do
honor TO their high calling.
The monotony of the times is broken
