Furgereon weut after Ills discharge did
not take me any time to make up my
mind; II was made nj once; had no evi
dence as to his being deserter, except
common rumor; did not discuss whether
the laws of ID slaware prohibited his vot-
ing; did consider the United States laws
on that point.
James Canning, sworn-Was at this
election; remember the refusal of Furger-
sons vote; l was Il clerk there; selected by
the Democrats; the vote was challenged,
and after 8 TO minutes deliberation his
vote was refused; Mr.. Tyre told him il he
could prove his right to vote he would
take the vote; the opinion Of the majority
OF the board was for refusing the vote, on
the ground that Furgerson was deserter;
Furgenson said he was not a deserter;
don't remember whether he said this when
he first attempted to vote, or at the second
attempt; don't know that Mr.. Tyre
expressed any doubt about his right to
refuse the vote, or the justness of his
refusal.
Samuel o. Peirce sworn-Was assistant
inspector at this polling place; Furgersop's
vote was refused because he was q
deserter my opinion was that he had
rigbi to vote as long as he was not proved
to have no such right; l was not willing to
refuse the vote on a mere rumor that
Furgerson was deserter; it did not take
them long to decide to refuse the vote.
Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.

timent IN regard To education within twenty
years, he said. was wonderful-"the most won
ful IN all the history of civilization" No one
of the colored teachers graduated at Hampton
had encountered hostility. Everywhere the
best white people welcome and encourage
them. The worst opposition comes from the
lliterate colored preachers of the old type.
Another interesting fact mentioned by Gen.
Armstrong is that the southern colleges for
white youth are crowded with young fellows
who are "llving on hominy in order to get an

From Texas.

WACO, Texas Apr. 15.-EpIToRs TRADER
Real good spring weather seems as if 1t never
intends coming. If nice warm day comes
it is soon to be followed by fierce norther
sweeping from of your cold ice bergs all
the frost and snow necessary to make one
think Texas was transposed into Lapland So
taking into count the lateness of our season
and the backwardness OF all farm work, the
agricultural outlook Is a very gloomy one.
Our big railroad boom has grown to be a
stern reality Dirt has already been broken
within the county limits, and material is being
shipped here for the construction of bridge
across the Brazos. A pleasant smile, with a
twinkle of the eye, can plainly be seen upon
the faces of our property holders when ap'
preached by new conner IN reference to a
purchase, as the boom grows bigger. The
latest sensation in railway circles is project
ed line by Gould to run from here direct to
Galveston, which will open the third outlet to
the Gulf.
An attempt Is being made to introduce
Fosters rotary plow into the black lands, he
claiming to have made the first plow that will
work successfully In our black, sticky soil.
Foster is Chicago Yankee, and proposes to
build factory for the manufacture of his cele-
brated farm implement, If the citizens Will
take sufficient stock. Also another cotton
seed oil mill Is to be added TO our factory in.
terest for the coming season.
Kaoin of superior quality and in large
quantities has been found near this place. 1t
has been assayed and pronounced as being
capable of making the finest porcelain china
and opera glass.
The railroad bill that has been pending in
the legislature In reference to tariffs, rates OF
transit &c, has excited much comment pro
and con. both by the press and the people.
Citizens from different portions Of the state
went to Austin, some to favor its passage,
while others went TO oppose IT.
The late organization of Jay Gould's Pacific
Express company has created quite an alarm
with the Texas Express Co. as the latter com.
pany has had everything It's own way during
the past. LITTLE TEXAN.

deep hush fell on all aud every ear was strain

There came to me, he said, member of nay

said that her daughter had become fascinated
with Roman worship and wanted to unite with
that church said TO her: Tell your child
to wait one year, until her own mind and judg-

she shall find that she Is drawn nearer to God
and TO heaven, and through that church, let
her come and we will take her by the hand
and carry her to the door. At the end Of the
year she was still anxious to enter that church,
and sat down and wrote letter TO an hon
