The rains which have prevailed ever
since the cotton picking season COM
menced, which still continue are very
discouraging, and work a peculiar hard,
ship to Dallas in the present unkempt
condition of the roads leading into the
city, Much of our cotton has been di,
verted to other markets, and much still
remains i'll the hands OF the farmer.
The business, notwithstanding this
drawback, has been quito satisfactory.
but not nearly so good as it would have
been had the country roads been passa
bic. The day of the full frution for the
season has been deferred by this cause
and people must cultivate the grace of
patience, The wheat crop, so far is
said to be very promising, and is now
furnishing ample pasturage for farm
stock. No combination of evils can
seriously cripple a country as rich as
this, where the crop is "A diversified one

wants n New Deal.

From the late Senator Mortons or
gan . The road to Cancellation is in the
reorganization OF the cabinet. The
present is an suspicious moment To
take that action. The cabinet was nee.
essarially formed with great haste the
elements in 1t are in congress, and mai.
ority Of the men composing it do no,
care whether the party is concili,
ated or not. More than one of them
gave no cordial support to the election
of President Hayes. II the president is
as anxious to maintain the harmony of
the party as he processes TO be, let Us
have new deal. Let men be called az
his confidential advisers who are sound
republicans, and opposition to bis policy
will melt as the snow before the rising
sun. If this is not done a destruction
is inevitable.

The south vs.. Northern Social Morals

Boston Post 1t is not certain that
the south cannot teach us something in
the way of social morals. Since the
carpet-bag power was eliminated from
South Carolina, the legislature has been
earnestly petitioned to repeal the pres,
'ent divorce law enacted within the last
ten years. and by the new constitution
of Georgia divorces cannot be granted
in that state except on the concurrent
verdicts of two juries at different terms
OF court. With little Spartanism Of
that sort in every state, hastily and ILL
assorted marriages would be less com,
mon than they are at present.

We verify believe tho people OF
Texas are the worst grumblers on earth.
We complain of hard times, and yet the
building up of towns and the improve
ments in the country, still 20 on. We
know nothing of the meaning of the
term, as they understand it in Europe,
or even up north. Hard times there
means scarcity of bread, and when was
bread out of the reach OF anyone here,
who was able and willing to work. We
are fortunate people indeed.

BROTHER FARMERS 1t is truly graf
living to see the farmers OF Lafayette
county so literally patron;zing the Pa
irons Mutual Insurance Company" On
the fifth day OF April. 1876, the first policy
was issued by this company. now num-
bering ninety notwithstanding sometrav-
cling agents of foreign companies are
very rndus;rously circulating report that
this institution has failed, abandoned
and gone ont of existence. But SO far
from i failure this institution is now ono
OF the fixed. firm and substantial insur-
ance companies of the day. You viii
observe that the business OF the company
is conducted on safe and very economi-
cal plan; hence the members are not
taxed for officers salaries and agents
commissions. as well as losses sustained.
1t is Il notorious fact, and ! make the
assertion boldiy. and without fear OF
successful contradiction, that, i'll al IN
surauce companies, those patronlzing
the institution are compelled to pay all
| losses, and in most cases cNorbltant sal
aries to officers. In this institution each
and every person insured holds the
funds to pay losses in his omn hands
until it is needed to meet 4 loss. You,
| therefore, perceive that there IS no one
permitted To Specmidte with or SYMaR-
der your money. The premium notes,
the basis of our capital, are all 'ceL
secured. being a first lien on real estate;
consequently, cannot fail. Again. this
is entirely a farmers institution, as
nothing but farm property will be in
sured, and, in no one case, 4 greater
risk taken than three thousand dollars.
The farming community have been
paying and sending out of this county
annually many thousands of dollars for
insurance and in not few instances to
worthless and unreliable companies.
If every farmer in this county will
study his own interest he must necessari-
ly come to this conclusion. that it is best
to encourage home Institutions; assist
YOUR neghbors, who in turn assist you.
The very fact of sending our money
| away from home without any return
year after year, is 4 tremendous drain
upon the currency of the county, pro
ducing stagnation in business and i'm
r poverishlng our people generally.
