There is H0ne for the Future.

"Therc is a tide in the affairs
of man, which taken at flood leads
TO our .EsFtunc." Contrary to
the expectations of chronic
grumblers and communists, the
bottom is at length reached in
every thing pertaining to bust
ness Of all kinds. Labor. the
mud sill of the nation, will re-
ceive better compensation and
shorter hours; farmers Will get
better prices for their crops,
stock, dc. land itself will sell for
more per acre, manufacturing es-
adjustments of all kinds run on
full time and give operators bet
ter wages. Dry goods, boots,
shoes, hats and everything in
the way Of merchandise is GER
tain to advance in price. MUIR
RAY d MORGAN have at present
the largest stock of goods they
ever had at this season of the
year, all bought at bottom fig
ures. Now is your time TO make
hay while the sun shines, feath-
or your nest, or take the tide at
its ebb, &c.

CoLD w AFTER, Lincoln county,(
July 9Th, 1878.
Nh. Editor--SIR-Iaga ap-
proach you with a small COM
municatien. Yesterday was
the glorious old fourth. I need
not tell you why it becomes so
celebrated. Every school boy
can tell you that. We suppose
it was celebrated in a great
many places throughout this
Union, a time of rejoicing, of
giving and receiving gifts, of
whTling around in the giddy
dance and exhibitions of a Ma
tional character. But as Solo
mon said, vanity of vanitys, all
is vanity. Whilst our neigh
borbood is rejoicing with all
their might, perhaps the adj
Joining one is called upon to
weep and mourn over the dy-
ing struggles of some one most
dear. Such was the case with
your humble correspondent on
the 3rd of July. l was called
10 the bed side Of dear sister
in-law, Caledonia Strong, TO
witness her departure from time
TO eternity, there to mingle the
briny tear with those that are
left behind. The subject Of
this brief notice was a daugh-
ter of William Strong, who
died several years ago. Size
was living at the time of her
death i'll the neighborhood Of
Molino. A child of affection,
the last twelve or fifteen years
being time of pain and suf-
ferihg. Her disease was a COM
plication, which finally tcrmina-
ted in dropsy Of the chest.
Such is life and such is death.
1t is truly said that in the midst
of life we are in death. Frail
man! his days are as a shadow,
he soon passes away; time and
place will soon know him no
more forever. There are some
cases of sickness in the coun-
try, but not of scrious nature.
A daughter Of Robert Moore
has had slight attack Of bill
ious fever, but the indications
are very favorable for her speedy
recovery. Mr.. Editor, your
humble servant is in no condi-
ton to write; tired and fatIgued,
we hope to send you up an ar
ticle before long on other mat
ters. So we will close. II.

WHITE MOUND. Grayson County, Texas, !
June 30th, 1873.
Editor O6seTrer-While my
brow is famed with the re-
frcshlng gulf breeze that finds
its way over the prairies for
three hundred miles, / can look
out Of the window and see the
white farm houses ten miles "a
way. Fields Of dark green corn
waving in silk and tassel-orch-
ards, yellow wheat fields, oats,
bodarc hedges, belts of tim
Der, acres upon acres of cot
ton, deep ravines checkered
with sunshine and shadow,
prairie hills, level plains and
myriads of wild flowers of ev-
cry hue-all are spread out be-
fore me. | am residing on high
prairie ridge, which divides the
waters Of the Red river from
the Sabine. The soil is without
a particle Of stone-a substra-
tum of limestone lies beneath
the surface. The indentation
of the ocean waves can be seen
here and there-a section of
earth's history written by the
hand of time. 1t is land filled
with people from every nation
under heaven and some came
from Pluto's dominion. Socie-
ty in Grayson is, in the main,
excellent. We have fine schools,
churches, etc. But bitter, re-
lentless war is being waged by
each denomination on the other,
and the whole of Northern
Texas is in a foment on account
of the religious quarrels engen-
dered by the ministry. South
ern Puritanism is rampant.
Land highly improved is worth
ten dollars per acre. Unim-
proved; two collars and a half.
Groceries and dry goods cheap
err than in Tennessee. The tide
of immigration still pouring in.
Throckmorton will be the
next governor. Political ex-
element is intense. A new
courthouse has just been COM
pleted at Sherman at a cost of
ninety thousand dollars. Tie
population of Sherman is esti-
mated at ten thousad souls.
Southwestern Texas IS said TO
DE the finest part OF the State,
while the southeastern is sick
~, with poor soil. We are
troubled with higbwayman
named Sam Bass, who has elu-
ded the officers OF justice for
two months, Notwithstanding
the vigilance of the best citi-
zens. The officers have. had
several sharp skirmishes with
Bass and his gang, but so far
the willy robber has made good
his escape. He is known as a
train robber, and there is five
thousand dollars reward for him.
Farmers are very busy at pres
ent saving their grain. The dis
tant hum Of agricultural ma
chinery-threshers, mowers and
reapers can be heard daily on
the prairies. Grass widows in
abupdance-in fact the soil of
Texas seems TO be peculiarly a.
dapted to their growth. Young
ladies here are exploded irag-
ments of animated rainbows,
and young gentlemen are COM
posed Of limbrr-jolnted sperm
candles, tobacco juice and lime.
Farmers have been heavily
pressed on account of the great
amount of rainfall; some of the
cotton has turned into crab
grass. | must close, as a buxom
widow is calling me to take a
walk. / hope my excuse is
good. JOIN A. WOMACK.
