by comparison that the cheapness OF

Of course limited. Railway stations

they are hardly five apart and the
freight and passenger traffic is much
greater. Passenger fare in Texas is

a great reduction In freight

A Change for the Better.

Texas Wool Grower.
During the past week we conversed
with some well informed sheepmen.
They told us just what We have beley-
ed all the time about sheep-husbandry
in Texas. One of them in particular
has been buyer of sheep extensively
during the last month. From them
we learn that sheep are looking up in
price. In other words the lull and de-
preston Is passing away. Many Old
sheepmen are now buyers, not sellers.
They are taking in every bargain, be-
cause they know one, us Well as how
To use II.
Whenever good sheep are offered for
sale, buyers seem disposed to pay fair
prices for them.
Many sheepmen who had offered
their Hooks for sale after shearing /, have
changed their minds, and are going 10
hold ON TO them There are many rea-
sons for this state of things.
Sheepnen have had time to look
around, take their bearings, compare
notes with each other. get informa-
ton, and revive their courage.
Experience has taught them that
while I'm the future fancy prices for
wool, and quick fortunes will not be
the rule. yet IL viii pay to stay IN.

prices they fetch are mos. encourage

Purchasers of high grade ewes, the
need of large muttons, show which
way the wind Is blowing.
Yes, the end has been reached. The
reaction Is commencing, so that sheep

A few days before the Victoria Com

few questions concerning the number

ing about 60 sheep per day at an aver
age price Of Sc per pound, the average
weight of those being slaughtered is
from 30 To 100 lbs gross, the quality
fair but little light, for our market
they should be Is or ~ lbs heavier, the
shrinkage from gross weight in mutton
is about 80 per cent. AT the present time

The town of Carlton In
ly situated, for in that vi
entity there is a gang of men who OBJ
ject 10 honest men earning a living On
their own domain, providing that
they run sheep. Their objection TO
they are not worth stealing: against
ton, they are movable stt cks and af-
some one eise's expense, In this vi
entity a few sheep raisers have been
driven from their homes and
their stocks have been killed,
and the perpetrators of these
acts have escaped. A meeting
was called in the town of Carlton for
the purpose of ascertaining the public
sentiment in regard to this business,
and II was ascertained with VEN
geance. The meeting first excluded
sheepmen from their deliberations, and
had they shown the least timidity
would have been resolved out OF the
county by the citizens of that town
and vicinity, regardless of their
rights as free men and land owners.
~ y.
the sheep raisers had resolved that
they would only leave the country by
force, the meeting admitted them and
did resolve that the sheepnen should
be protected in their rights and prop
erty, but when one of the sheepmen
proposed TO petition the. governor for
protection against the midnight kill
ers of sheep, the greater portion of the
honest citizens of Carlton, the honest
grangers, the non sheep owning stock
men and other law-abiding citizens of
that place thought too much law
might not be good and filed out of the
hall.
Unless the governor of the state will
furnish assistance to the men who have
been threatened, it will be found that
the true and good citizens of that vici-
nifty are too few in numbers to have
any influence. The ignorant lawless
element is too strong and the county
officers too weak or unwilling to do
anything in defence of those who are
threatened and attacked.
This town of Carlton is in the
northern corner of Hamilton county,
near the lines of Erath ,Comanche and
Bosque counties. 1t il section to be
avoided by law-abiding settlers, for
life and property is in danger aud will
be, until sufficient law officers are
placed there to protect honest men,
their herds and fiocks, and until the
voices of true men can be raised against
this wanton destruction Of property,
without fear of death at the hands of
assassins.

Sweetwater, August 3l.--The
drouth In this section Is becom-
ing quite serious in many localities.
1t il true there have been showers in
many places, while in other localities
things are parehed up TO an alarming
degree. From ali counts Southern
Texas Is suffering more than we are,
but unless we get rain soon, large belts
of CRYING country hereabouts will be
rendered perfectly useless, simply be-
I cause water is too far away To make
! them available. In the immediate vi
entity of water the grass will be en-
,tirely eaten out, and stock must nee
essarily decrease in weight. Colorado
was visited last week with good rain
and fifteen miles east of our town there
were two good showers covering only
II small area, but with such blazing
hot sun the benefits of rain are speedily
lost. 1t behooves stockmen generally
to provide against these drouths by
building huge water tanks where there
is no lasting water, and thus utilize all
the grazing. These tanks could be
built In early spring at a nominal cost
because the ranch hands have moth
ing else to do, and ii would surprise
many to see how much water can be
saved, as well as additional pasturage
secured-besides, 1t is providing
against great possible calamity. Let
the present dry spell continue for an
other month and things would look
very serious to stock men here, as well
as those in Southern Texas. Were it

The Baptsts Of Sweetwater have
been holding revival meetings for the
past three weeks, under the mana re-
ment of two young dlvines named
White and Hatcher, respectively.
These meetings have been quite well
attended and much interest mani
tested, and the net results amounted
to eighteen converts, who were bap-
tized in Sweetwater creek. Owing TO
