year has at last been marketed, which gives
your correspondent opportunity 10 drop the
levers of gin. aud WELD the quill occasion

Though the entire crop OF cotton in the
Southern States is comparatively light, the
yield in this aud a few adjoining counties has
far transcribed any preyions crop. Over two
hundred tons of lint have been baled at this
place. The average price during the season
was about ten cents per pound.
The principal export, Of Western Texas are
cotton and It's seed, wool. hides, bones, horses,
cattle and sheep.
While Texas produces immense quantities
of valuable crude materials. but little effort
has been manifested in the direction Of man

Our people are very much exercised at pres

has for its terminus the village Of Sykesyiile.
The majority of the people favor it, as It will

doubt be carried ont. Mr.. Frank Brown VIII
change the grade ON several Of the roads that
border ON his lands. Some people say he is
doing this for his own benefit. This may be,
but when We consider the many miles Of public
road that traverse and border his estate can
anyone say that the public are not benefited
too , The fact is, people want to be paid Tor
all they do ON the public roads. They are
afraid to put load Of stones or throw shovel
Of dirt on them lest the public be benefited.
The condition of the public roads this winter

a good effect, and give Us better roads in the

The regular quarterly meeting of the Teach
-ers' Association of Carroll county was held at
Central Hall, Westminster, on Friday, 10th
inst, and, considering the condition Of the
approaches to the city, was remarkably well
attended, but few teachers being absent. The
association was called to order promptly at 10
O clock, by the chairman, Prof j. NJ sNewson,
and after the usual preliminary prayer was Of
fered by Mr. j. f. Billmyer, the report OF the
proceedings of the previous meeting was read
by the secretary and approved by the associa-
ton. II was then decided to hold but one
session, motion to adjourn being in order
after | clock.
Before entering upon the regular business
the chairman, with few accompanying re,
marks, presented some papers he had received
relating to the Garfield monument fund. As
well as could be ascertained (for your repor-
ter did not see the papers, IT was scheme
for swelling the fund by means of subsenp-
tions from the teachers and pupils of the pub
lie schools. No general action was taken in
the matter. Mr.. Billmyer submitted motion
to create n fund to procure competent leetur-
ers for the annual institute-lt was seconded,
but tabled by significant vote-one gentle
man facetiously remarking that competent
lecturers were so far above the pecnmary ana
educational attainments of a Carroll county
teacher. tnaT ne COQlu not enttEtdlh SANA "a
whimsical freak of fancy for moment. And
vet, looking at the assembled faces, male and
female. and hearing some of the talk, an OBJ
server would not readily believe that good
lecturer would be out of place among them, or
be unappreciated by such an audience
The main exercises were in syntaX, ana
seemed to interest the association IN high
degree, several members pleasantly taking
part in the discussions.
Mr.. Thomas Upton, principal OF Frlzzeil-
burg graded school, called attention to very
important matter-no doubt brought to the
knowledge of a majority of the teachers for
the first time that for ereIy pupil admitted to
a public school in this state without the eertlil-
cate of due vaccination from a T23:1llar physi-
clan required by law, the admitting teacher
is liable to a fine of ten dollars. Teachers,
no doubt, have made a note of this.
A committee was appointed to prepare
program for the next meeting.
The music was, as is usual at the meetings
of the association, very good, Prof SPurrier
leading, with organ accompaniment by Mrs.
Spnrrier A solo, Peace, be still, new to
most of the members, was sung by Prot. Spur
