ED. FREE PRESS 1 see you have Just
found out there is a new post-ofdce called
Henly in the northern part of this county.
Now for the information of all concerned
will let you know just where it is. It is at
the old Henly ranch on the road from Aus
tin to Blauco, miles from Dripping Springs,
IL miles from Blanco, and 30 miles from
San Marcos. What! 30 miles from the
Court House Yes sir, it is even 30. But
if our San Marcos friends will ''tote fair"
with us it will not always be SO far to the
Court House. +. M.
We are glad to be informed of the exact
location of Henly P. o. and hope yet to have
a goodly list of subscribers there, notwith-
standing its distance from the county seat.
As to that, we admit the hardship, but
don't see where the blame attaches, except
in the geographical shape of the county.
Even If the county seat were in the the CEN
tire in would still be about two thirds of the
present distance from Henly post Office.

hitting a communication from Sc

The oath of office was
administered to Acting SECRETARY F.

fully preserve the papers Of the Count

OUR WHEAT PRODUCT.

The Census Bureau has issued an
extra bulletin showing the cereal
production of the United States, by
counties. The statement is made up
for the year 1879, we presume. The
result will surprise many of our rea-
ders, we are sure, and there will be
some disappointment, we fancy, in
regard to the wheat production of
West Va. We will call attention
to some of the figures in regard to
that alone, leaving the other cereals
for future notice.
Berkeley, with an acreage of 25,-
557 acres, produced S,996 bushels
Jefferson, upon 1882 acres, produ-
ced 1885, 05 bushels. No other coun-
ties in the State reach 100000 BUSH
els, except the following Hamp-
shire, 1O2,631 Harrison, 49, lS;
Jackson, 131 ,9SS; Marion, 800
Marshal, 236,670; Mason, 9,345 +;
Morgan, 123, 1893; Wetzel, 1910,
and Wood, ISL 1888. The lowest pro-
duction is Wyoming, 4,345; through
Mcdowell is very close to the same
figures, the number of bushels raised
in it being 1853. Boone, Clay, Lo-
gan, Mcdowell, Tucker. Webster
and Wyoming are all under 10000.
The whole product of the State is
stated to have been, in 1879 or 1880.
the bulletin does not say which year
was taken, 4,001:711. or this guam
tity the Eastern Panhandle-Jeffer-
son, Berkeley and Morgan-must be
credited with $4,000, being nearly
one-fourth the whole crop of wheat
raised in the State.
We shall recur to this bulletin
again, as it presents some other very
