A distressing accident took place in South o.
taws on Tuesday afternoon, leaving the widow
of Mr.. Daniel Beers and her family houseless.
She had been living in quite an old house, built
OF concrete, one story high On Tuesday after
noon the house fell, the south wall crumbling
first, then the front, and afterwards the north
wall, leaving only one wall, the partitions and
the roof still standing. Fortunately none OF the
occupants were at home at the timc yet the fur
niture was not much injured. The cause o, the
accident is generally supposed to be the damp
weather of the past few weeks, which weakened
the materials. However, the Ten Cent Society

Che Farm Situation.

arc EhEm SituHtlOn,
Throughout the whole month of Novem-
Der we have had the worst weather for farm
ing known in the history of Texas. Begin
ming with snow on the 9th Qhe earliest in at
least forty years., hardly day has passed
since without rain, snow, sleet ard all at
once sometimes, falling. The surface of the
earth is saturated with water to kn indt finite
depth. II is rs full of it as il can hold.
Roads are nearly impossible. Fields are not
much; if any bG!ler.
Immense quantities of cotton have ALREADY
been lost in the field, and it now looks like
the balance unpcked will 60 in the same
way. Picking has been almost wholly aban-
aoned for several weeks past AT the hour
We write there are no prospects of fair
weather. The earth is shedowad in gloom.
The situation, therefore, is not encouraging
for cotton. We have undoubtedly gathered
sever. eiehtha of all We well get this year, if
not niaoty per cent, is the opinion Of many
ob.eryant and intelligent planters.
AS TO other crops there are none worth
sroeking OF. We have pretty much given
up wheat and have so far planted little Of
other things. So that we will begin the new
year even. What we make next yesr will
be planted next year. But so prolific is this
scIl there is no room for doubling that an
abundance will be raised for all. Ii we don't
have wheat of our own raising we will be
amply able to buy -four. Such thing as
total failure ofal crops in Texas in any one
year is unknown. If we miss in one thing we
make itup in another. Our lands are strong
and so porous shat good rains in winter will
last through whole summer.

Grass is getting scarce upon tho open
prairie. Cattle are taking to the woods for
subsistence, where they can get them. So
far there has been no very great suffering,
but there will be if the severity of the win
ter continues among herds which wholly de-
pend upon wild pasture. Of course the
punches kept around regular farm. must be
fed more or less from this time until the
spring opens. This will be February.
Herdsmen have already begun driving their
stock further south, and must keep them
where they can find green heritage, or lose
them. It's impossible fJr ranchmen 10 feed
their stock. There are too many Of them.
But when northwestern Texas becomes
densely settled, and lands closely fenced in,
how then: They will either have to shan.
don the business or make provision for
wintering at home. That calling
will eventually be narrowed 10
circumscribed Limits and as A
distinct business Totally die out some day no,
a great whlcin tho future. 1t requires more
surface than there is to spare. Western,
southern and northern Texas will in 6fty
years be as densely populated as western
New York is to-day. This is inevitable. II
is destiny. The climate is mild, and the soil
too excellent for the production of cotton and
corn for forty miles at stretch to be oxclu.
sNely held in possession by cattle and sheep.

The letter of Senator Hill is causing con.
siderable discussion, and expression Of opin.
ion from the democratic press of the coun-
try. As far as we have read thsrs ar. non.
that give it q full endorsement; while others
publish II without comment, and others
recognize its correctness, as refers to the

ing the spiri, of dsmasogue. These diff.
tereet opinions are caused from the varied
light in which it is viewed and from the
deductions by the minds of each as it is read
in their lights, and not because of any ma.
terial difference Of opinion in regard to the
policy of the democratic party. As to the
question of disbanding, or reorgsnizipg the

New Variety of Yssgs.

The Ohio Farmer s calling for "a new
variety of hogs" Ia Texas both old, mid,
dle-sged, and entirely new hogs arc badly
needed. Any kind will help us some.
Mixed, white, black, yellow, red, spotted,
long, short, or compromise OF any of these
are wanted in Texss and wanted badly in
larger quantities than we have them. The
trouble with us is not in the quality but the
quantity, and that amt all We need: we want
a practical schoolmsster to figure up
tho fslly of buying Chicago h, 9
meat and the economy of raising it ut home.
That is the worst need of the two. 1t is true
'three from two and you can't" and it is
true, slso, tone bale of cotton for one hog
and you cao." We want more hog and less
cotton. SAM" said his master, 'wbat did
you steal my turkey for ?" "Masss, dat was
no harm. Dat turkey b'longed to you, dis
niger b'leng to you. cStch an eat de
turkey, so You have moro niger and le,s
turkey" We have not even that much left,
for we sell the cotton for the hog and destroy
the hog.
