Bowery clothes dealer rather than railway

concealed in heavy beard, SO intensely
black that it suggests artificial means.

most of his time in his Office, being as seclu-
ded as possible. The sense of danger is
certainly very natural The fact that Major

The Season.

The tiue rains this week have given new
heart and hope of good season. Only let
our farmers do their part, and we have faith
that we shall have season which will more
than redeem the failure last year. We trust
the mistake then made of failing to SOW
large breadth of wheat and oats will not be
repeated. Had that matter been attended
to last year, time has proved that we should
have escaped most of our troubles, for both
wheat and oats, so far Us sown, turned out to
be excellent. Let not cotton be permitted
to engross all the attention of our farmers.
In our opinion Western Texas will yet
prove to be one of the best wheat producing
countries in the world; al that is needed is
varieties of wheat adapted to the climate
and careful cultivation. AS to oats we stand
pre-emincnt and rarely ever fail. Now as
corn is more or less uncertain, why not SOW
large crops of of oats, at any rate? They
would prove an excellent substitute in case
of failure or short cora crops. Again we
say, don't go wild about cotton, but look to
diversity of crops, so as to guard against
another general failure.

Court House Site.

Judge Schmitt informed us yesterday
that the precise place on which to build
the court house had not yet been settled
upon. We earnestly hope it will NOT
be built on the old site, but on similar
place to that where Coronal institute
sta nds. Several thousand dollars would
thus be saved on the foundation, and il
would be unquestionably GOOD. 1t
would not be any more inconvecient
than the court house at Austin. On
the square there is no room for n Jail,
which should be near the court house,
and no hitching accommodations or
privacy for persons attending court,
There is no proper connection between
the courts and other business-the for
mer should be held in q retired place.
The square could be better used as q
market place or park. For these and
many other reasons which we have not
space to give, we trust site such as we
have mentioned may be selected. We
are not building merely for the present
but also for the futuoe. Let US have
no further blunders about court house
foundatio ne at 80 serious detriment to
the tax payers Of the county.
