SILK CULTuRE.-Last spring
Mr.. c. +. Herbst obtained from
Mr.. kamphausen, Director of
the Central Silk raising Associ-
alton of Germany, a number OF
silk worm eggs. The eggs Mr..
Herbst distributed among seve-
raj friends, and also raised few
worms in his office, feeding
them on the leaves of the COM
mon native mulberry; his
friends did the same thing. The
result was the production of a
number Of cocoons. These
were sent to Mr.. kamphausen
with a request to be informed
as to the quality of the silk.
Mr.. X. replied by sending back
samples Of the raw silk, speci-
mems of which Mr.. Herbst has
now in his possession; the sam
Piles certainly look beautiful,
and Mr.. X. states that the quail
ty is the very finest. He also
sent back about two thousand
silk worm eggs of the Corsican
variety, which he says are bet
ter adapted to this climate. The
experiment proves conclusively
that the finest silk can be pro-
duced from the common wild
mulberry tree. The worms also
feed on the bois d arc, but
what quality of silk will be pro-
duced is yet to be experimental
upon.

. .
afternoon session was CONNER
ced by the nomination of a candi-
date for county judge. There
was more or less discussion
over each of the candidates.
Here's the ticket:
County Judge, ]. D. McAdoo,
County Atty, c. Schutze.
Sheriff, J. H. Hutchinson.
Collector, K. A. Harvin.
Assessor, Joe Hoffman.
District clerk, IL. Moore,
County clerk, Jerry Clinton.
Treasurer, c. Asbeck,
Legislature, Bedford G. Guy,
1t will be noticed that there
are three Germans on the ticket,
viz: Schutze, Hoffman and AS
beck. The colored element is
represented by Jerry Clinton and
B. G. Guy. Clinton lives at
Gay Hill and Guy at indepen-
dence.
The entire ticket is composed
of Radicals who are fully up to
the Radical standard. A num-
Der of them have been identified
with former Radical adtntnistra-
tons in this county /; their past
conduct is an earnest of what
may be expected in the future
ifthey are elected.
YELLOW FEvER.-As appears
by the council proceedings and
ordinances published elsewhere
the citizens are waking up to
the necessity of putting the
city in thorough sanitary condi-
ton. This is now being done as
rapidly as the means at hand
will permit. All territory be-
tween here and Memphis and
New Orleans is under the ser
VIGILANCE of quarantine author
ties. Under these cireumstan-
ces we can see no cause for
alarm. Prudence, however, die
tates that the city should be
thoroughly cleaned up and kept
SO. At citizens meeting held
on Friday evening a series of
resolutions were passed and &C
tive working committees were
appointed to make a personal
inspection of all premises in
town and to have them cleaned
up and disinfected if need be. |
The resolutions have been furn-
ished us for publication, bus
on account of their length it is
impossible for US to do so to-day. |
DEPUTY SHERIFFs.- The city |
marshal interviewed Sheriff |
Hutchinson concerning the
many deputy sherifs claiming
to act under his appointment.
In reply to the question wheth-
er they were legal deputies with
out giving bond and having the
same recorded, he replied that
Judge Turner had informed him
that they were, but that they
had no right to carry arms
except when in the discharge of
their duty, but at other times
were liable to be arrested for IL
legally carrying arms. Of we
understand the matter right a
special deputy sheriff can only
be appointed for a specific duty
and that so soon as that duty is
performed his official career ter
minates). Sheriff Hutchinson
told the marshal to arrest al
v..olators of the law and also
that he would revoke all ap-
pointments of such deputies.
The city marshal informs US
that it will afford him pleasure
to arrest all illegal carriers of pis-
tolls,

DIED-Jack Ward, a we'll
known citizen, died on Friday
morning, after an illness of
short duration. Mr.. Ward was
a machinist, and while working
at his trade in the county, got
over-hcated. He was buried
by the Masonic fraternity, on
Friday afternoon, He leavFs a
family.
CoTToN is now being hauled
from Fayetteville, Fayettc coun-
ty, distant thirty miles, to this
city. About twenty bales from
there has been received this
week. Nearly one-half of the
cotton received SO for is from
Austin. Fayette and Burleson
counties. The reason for this
is, Brennan cotton buyers pay
good prices in cash and goods,
are sold cheaper than in any
neighboring town.
