The farmers here are wide awake

We have very few idlers among us;
and there is quite a demand for good

If there was a turnpike from your
city to the Trigg line, in our direction
it would be blessing to our people,

A Texan Shirt.

Editors have a first.rate time in
Texas. The ladies Of "a town out there
gave to the editor OF the local paper
an embroidered shirt, which contained
a pictorial history of Texas, including
the war with Mexico, the morning Of
the FIRST Legislature, and also picture,
of the fruits and cereals OF the State,
oil worked in red worsfed.
The editor never wore shirt in his
lille, and he thought it was banner
Tor the temperance procession that
was to come off next week. 30 he
madea little speech OF thanks, in
which he said he would "hing it out
to the breezes of heaven, that they
might kiss its folds. and that until his
hand palsicd It should never be tralled
In the dust-never!"rhe ladies didn't
understand him, and when he talked
about trailing, they bluslled and said
they were sorry they made it too long.
But committee man took the editor
aside and explained the garment to
him ina whisper, and the next day he
appeared at the Office with that shirt
mounted over his coat, and wrote four
columns OF explanation for his paper.
The shirt is much admired by the
small boys Of the town, aud whenever
the editor goes for walk they follow
him by regiments, studying the history
OF Texas and the fine arts on the back
Of it.
