Cotton in some places is fully half open, an
farmers fear rain would give it q second
growth, which would cause it to shed. II
the season is favorable q heavy wheat crop
will be planted. All our farmers that
planted wheat or oats last fall have made
money.
The commissioners court, who were in
dicted last January by the grand jury for
failing to post tabular rcport on the court
house door, and publish report of receipts
and disbursements, had their trial last week,
and were acquitted.
A young man by the name of Wright,
living near Plano, fell from the south-bound
train Wednesday morning, at the crossing of
a branch about two hundred yards from
Allen. lie fell fully twenty feet to the bot
ton of the branch, breaking his back, neck
and both legs. and was badly mangled
otherwise. No ono on tho train
saw him fall, and he was only
missed by his brother when the train had
nearly reached Plano. He was standing on
the platform when last seen. A lady living
near the place of accident saw Wright fall.
The supposition was that his hat blew of
and in trying TO catch it he lost his balance
and fell. Esquire Page held an inquest over
the remains yesterday and the verdict Of the
jury was in accordance with the above facts.
Corn, oats and wheat continue to come in
