COMMUNICATIONS.

ELLIS County, Texas, August 10, 80.
Mr.. EDTToR-I arrived here a
short time ago to find things in u
fOurishing condition, and everyone in
the highest spirits, especially the far
nfers, over their prospects for crop
which is very hattering indeed; far
mers are trying to engage cora at 10
cents per bushel and haul it to the
railroad.
The cotton crop Is better than ever
known before, it is estimated ON an
average att bale per acre, while there
is a great deal that will make II bale
TO the acre, there has been a great
many cotton crops planted on ground
where wheat was cut from this year
and is making good crop. There is
great demand for cotton pickers, as
there Is not labor in the county to
save the present crop. There is ex-
pected to be large number of ne
groes brought in from Kansas this fall,
for the purpose Of gathering the crop.
The dear old BULLETIN came to hand
in due course Of time, it seemed as an
old friend, with its ever welcome
eheerfulness.
This State looms up lively for her
old friend and brave soldier, w. S.
Hancock, and of course they will sup
port the entire ticket. w. B. w.
MIDDLETON Sta. Tenn, Aug. 8, 80.
DEAR BULLETIS:-We, few nights
ago, had the pleasure of listening to a
very fluent speaker of the Primitive
Baptist Church of Kentucky. He
seems to be well stocked with fine Ian
guage and only for two particular
features in his sermon he might have
been passed for some other denomina-
ton. 1st. Stand still and God will
work out salvation. End. To give
other denominations u little whipping.
He turned his whole artillery loose
on this occasion upon the Christian
Faith and Household, when he had
routed them, | listened for him to give
US MethOdists our portion, but he from
some cause reserved our portion for
some other occasion.
The election passed off quietly here,
all seem to be satisfied with the de
cisiOn and hope the results will be
good, this will soon be forgotten and
pass into oblivion as many other cleo
tons have.
The people at Green Wood School
House. on Saturday, had splendid
pic mic. The good things to supply
the wants of the inner man were plcn-
tiful, and all present seemed to do fnll
justice to this part of the entertain
ment of the day. Prot. Orme made
IL nice talk On ''lhe progress of the
American people in all avocations of
life during the last century," a few
other remarks from other persons pres
ent in way Of congratulations, in the
fair showing Hancock has for the
presidency, thus passes away another
theme of interest. | could but notice
pictures OH the faces of all present at
before mentioned gathering. The
hopeful look and cheerfulness, I sup
pose what gives rise to this, is the
present fine outlook of the growing
crops, whose fruits are nearly ready to
gather, and the general thrift and
prosperous condition of all things
throughout the whole country.
On next Saturday our protracted
meeting commences here. This a
matter of interest to many of us, which
is in the near future. We hope God
on that occasion will manifest himself
in a manner never to be forgotten by
our people in this world, nor in the
Abode which is very near to many of
us, and but a short distance for the
young to reach. Life is short at best
and Eternity endless.
Prot. Kimbrough's school for next
8 .ssion, we are all looking to with
interest and hopefulness, all even well
pleased with the first session, and hope
his next will be crowned with more
success. We want him and the school
a permanent thing with us, and will
endeavOr to work for the same. 1
might say more, but will stop and not
weary you with anything else.
Yours, ETC.,
FRANK LAMBETH.
