the road-bed OF that road Under the

Saturday night we had another yery
heavy rain. The Buffalo, running through
the northern and western portion of the
city, was out OF its banks further than it
has been known for years. Lumber from
the yards was washed into the middle of
the streets, West of here the rain was not
so heavy, as it seems to have come from a
northeasteily direction, going southwest.
II. u. Paddock and a portion of the Fort
Worth delegation arrived this morning. OF
course Jarvis is their man against the field.
| Much speculation is already going on ne to
whether there will be more than one ballot,
many believing tnat Wellborne will be
nominated on the first. In the senatorial
race Dr., Douglas, Of Hill, will have an easy
going. The doctor was beaten before, owing
to a division in Hill between himself and
Captain sam Upshaw. From what can
gather two-thirds Of the johnson county
delegation will stand for him.
