THE price of corn must now come
down. Those who have held corn for
feed tor the next season will be apt to
pat it on the market now, as the pros
pect is good for large crop this year.
A great deal of corn from Kansas has
been ordered for this section, aud il
can be delivered here for less than is
asked for the corn raised here.
From the above, which we copy
from the Sesuin Times. it will be seen
that it will be more Difficult: than it has
been in this country to bold corn, &c,
at exorbitant prices. Since the adyen,

The Meeting Of tho Veterans.

BAsrRop, April %, 1879.
Ed. FREE PREss:-A few days ago
l returned from the Veteran meeting
at Galveston. 1t would be needless to
give you description of the whole
proceedings. for the Galveston News
has given you details of it. But Col.
Jacks address you received only in a
condensed form. You should have
heard his thrilling, feeling and patri-
otto speech; it often ELECTED tears as
we'll US repeated applause from the
Veterans and Galveston audience.
Indeed, proud felt every Veteran, OF
the prosperity of Galveston, some Of
whom, who came to Texas overland
had for the first time beheld Calves
ton. 1 myself saw Galveston for the
first time in Oct. 1899; then it con-
tanned only some fifteen very plain
frame houses; the Custom House, at
the edge of the wharf. was shell
frame building, perhaps 3Ox6O feet, the
only vessel in port was the schooner
Eliza, from New York, tho vessel |
came in, and for want Of freight back,
it had to take in sand for ballast.
Then Morgan sent from New Orleans
steamer only every two weeks. What
contrast with the present day. Have
the Veterans not right to be proud
to rescue great extent Of territory
from Mexican tyranny, the savage ln-
dian, and convert = wilderness into
cultivated fields, &c.
The Galvestonians with their usual
libsrality paid the fare at the fremont
hotel for two days; the proprietor and
even attendants looked to our comfort
and wants. The citizens generally al.
so honored US everywhere. In the
evening we were escorted to the Cot
ton Exchange, a most capaoious and
elegant building, which, without the
grounds cost over $4,000; we'll may
the merchants of Galveston be proud
of it. The various railroads of Texas
gave US free passage.
Our next meeting will be in San
Antonio, and believe the San Anto
mans, memorable in the history of
Texas, will not let themselve be out
done by the liberality of the denizens
of the Island city. BY the by next
year We intend to bring also our wives
along, many Of whom with patient en-
durance shared our hardships and
triuls. In these Veteran meetings We
often meet old companions in arms
whom we have not seen for years; you
should see the hearty grasp of friend
ship, aud the anxious inquiry about
absent ones.
On Wednesday morning ! with two
sons Of mipe took leave Of Galveston;
the morning was cloudy, with little
wind and an occasional light sprinkle
of rain; reaching Chapel Hill, We
saw the first sign of a fair rain; com
ing to Giddings. We received iuforma-
ton to stop till further instructions,
tor the Austin train broke down one
aud half miles below McDade. We
bad to submit to our fate. but anxious
as was to set home, | was not sorry
Of il. On the train we're Col. Norton,
OF Dallas. Judge Hill, of Fayetie Co,
aud the old Veteran, Judge Waller.

Easter Celebration at st. Paul's ChurcI
PCntlletOn, y. C.


Mr.. EDIroR: The services at the Episco-
pal Church on Easter Sunday in Pendleton
we're conducted by the Pastor, the Rev. w.
II. Hanckcl The sermon was from the
text, "the Lord is risen, indeed" and WIS
as usual very fine enc. The Church was
crowded by al denominations, no doubt in
measure attracted thereto by the elaborate
decorations, which far surpassed anything
seen here for long time, and the ladies en-
gagged therein deserve great credit. Or first
entering the Church the eye was attracted
to the sentence, 'Christ is Risen," suspend
eli 10y invisible cords across the edificc. sur
mounted by dove in the act of fiyinr.
with all olive branch in its mouth. Hang
ing baskets, full of moss interspersed with
flowers, were suspended up the main aisle.
Back of the communion table was beauti
ful cross, i'll white, on ground OF arbor. vitae :
above the cross q crown, white and gilt i'm
front of the communion rail was pyramid
Of geraniums, capped by the baptismal
font, in which was a group of cala lillics.
The gallery posts were completely clothed
in coat of mail, formed of laurel leaves.
In fact nearly every part of the Church
capable of being adorned was taken advnn-
tage of, to help form tout ensemble hardly
deemed possible, with the few resources in
the way of flowers, &c, procurable here at
this season.

ing the 22nd inst, after an illness of several
months. Mrs. Scaborn was q daughter of
Gen. John Baylis Earle and the wife OF the
late Maj. George Seaborn. She was greatly
beloved and admired By all who knew her
for the many cxcellcncies of character
which She had exhibited throughout long
and useful life i'll all of its relations AS a
lady, educated, refined, accomplished. viva
cious and amiablo she Was all ornament to
society, and attracted many friends, of
whose company she was always fond. AS
wife. true, devoted and consderate: as a
mother, fond, ailectionate and thoughtful.
and, as one of the heads Of large and re-
lined family, she rendered the home circle
bright and happy to all its members, and
helped to impress those traits of character
upon her children, which has given to So
ciety useful and honorable men and intel

Her mind remained clear TO the last, and
her chccrfulncss never forsook her. AL

which if unchecked, eventually wrecks the

is dangerous, destructive. Stupor, dclirium

dissolution. But when colnbattcd with

the system is dislodged, and every vcstige
of it eradcatcd. That benign anti.febrile
