"A Texas story.
Little Rock Ark Gazette!.

Little kOck (Ark.) Gazetteer.
Texas preachers are said to be very eccen-
trio. and their mild unnaturalness has
given rise to n great many remarks and
few stories. The following narrative was
told us confidently by slanderer:
A minister arose before large audience,
took his text and began preaching. A brisk
firing of pistols began on the outside OF the
church.
Brother Deacon" said the minister, Il
believe those fellows are casting insinuations
at me. In fact, am very nearly convinced"
he continued, as peice Of plastering fell
from the wall close to his head.
81 think, parson, that 1t refers to some one
else," replied the deacon.
The minister raised tumbler OF water, and
was In the act OF applying his lips, when the
glass fell, shattered by q shot.
This is an innuendo no longer said the
minister, wiping the water from his vest.
This is what term an unmistakable thrust.
The congregation will please sing while go
out and investigate this matter. Is there
another preacher in the housef"
Yes, said man, throwing down stick
which he had been whiting, arising and
pulling at the waist Of his pants like man
who had just Strengthened up after setting
out a row of tobacco across broad field.
Got on an extra"
eyes"
"The whiting preacher handed over a
large Remington pistol which the insulted
preacher took and, drawing one from his
belt, started out After going out there was
an imm ediate improvement in the firing bust
ness. It was decidedly more lifelike, inso-
much that the deacons sat working their fin
gers, After g. while the minister returned,
and placing an ear and the nostril and a half
OF nose on the pulpit, remarked: He that
hath ears to hear, let him behave himself"
The serman then proceeded without inter-
ruption.

The extraordinary amount of politi-
cal matter we have had for publication
during the last few weeks, both orig
lnal and communicated, has rendered
1t necessary that we should exclude
a considerable portion from our col
umns. And more than this, it has
compelled us to deprive our readers of
the usual amount of agricultural and
other reading, which many Of our
subscribers prefer TO so much politics.
The evenings are now lengthening and
we hope farmers and others will send
us for publication such suggestions as
they may be able to make in the way
of their experience in farming, that
they think may be beneficial to their
brother farmers. Such suggestions
will be attended to by us at our very
earliest convenience, and, to encour-
age contributors, we offer to our sub
scribers who shall favor us with the
best original essay for publication,
$500 in cash; I'd best, $500; Sd,
5000; 4th, Sl.00. The essays are to
be read and decided upon by the dis
cretionary committee of the Lamoille
County Agricultural Society at their
annual fair in 1881. These articles
mist not exceed one column in length,
must be furnished within one year
from this issue, and must be written
on the following topic: "In what way
can our race best succeed in their sew
eral honorable and commendable I'M
dertakings ?" The names of the writ
ers of the essays will not be made
public until after the committee has
decided upon their merits.
