Good News.

The following special dis
patch from New York to the
Galveston Meaos explains itself !:
New YORK, June 49, Hon.
M. Kopperl, president g., C.
and S. F. railroad, has compile
ted negotiations for means to
build the road from its present
terminus to Bolton, provided
the counties intervening fulfill
their promises of local aids. G.
H. Warren, agent for the con-
tractor, leaves tonight for Gal
weston with the documents for
ratification by the company.
With this guarantee of funds
for building the road, we think
the people along the line should
renew their interest in the road,
and we doubt not will come
literally to its aid, both by sub
scriptions and donations. When
work is resumed on the line we
may confidently look for an in
creased business. The build
ing of the road through this
county will put a large amount
of money in circulation and Gre
ate a home market for "a large
amount of surplus produce that
cannot now be disposed of at
any price.

The county tax of Bell

hundred dollars; of this s Is

of paupers. The Journal says;
Lets establish a poor poor

The Bellville Beacon say
a rumor is current, in that part
of the moral vinyard that, Houil-
lion is not dead and that his
pretended poisoning and death
was a mere ruse to escape
hanging, The story, we think,
is manufactured out of the
whole cloth.
: The Victoria Ad00eate
says it isr eported that the cot

ofthe county. Farmers would
do well to be prepared for the
appearance of worms. Vermi-

it was sold at last year.
= A young man in Dallas,
while handling some corn in a
barn, was bitten in the hand by
a copperhaad snake. A quart
Of whiskey was administered
and a poultic put on tiie hand.
The young man was very sick,
probably from the effect of the
Dallas whiskey which ordinary
is more dangerous than the
snake bite.

FIsHISe.- The fishing in the
vicinity of Brennan, that is any
where. within a distance of six
or eight miles has been very in
different this season. Fish are
very scarce and hard to catch.
A. few days ago a gentleman
who is fond of fishing was in
duced to go to Cedar and Nails
creek in the edge of Lee county
on an excursion, the inducement
being held out that the fishing
was very fine; so it was, but the
weather being unfavorable and
bait scarce success did. not
crown his efforts. While in
that neighborhood he visited a
lake in the woods said to be in
habited by two alligators each
Is leet in length. He was told
that the alligators could be
caught on large hooks baitcd
with pickaninnies, but none be-
ing handy, the experiment had
to be abandoned and the alli-
gators are, presumably, happy
yet.
