Letter from Texas.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate
SToCKDALE, WILSON COUNTY, Oct. 10, 1883.
Our usually quiet and unpretentious little
burg has lately put on some of the airs of a
city, A fortnight ago small grocery store
was forcibly entered at night and burglarized
to the amount of $35 in goods and 10 cents
in money. The perpetrator of the act made
good his escape, and has not been appre
hended. Late last Thursday night the same
building was fired by an incendiary, and the
house with its entire contents was destroyed.
Loss about $500; no insurance. The perpe-
traitor of this last outrage is not known with
legal certainty.
The cotton crop-though light-continues
to mature, and four hundred bales have been
ginned at the three gins in this immediate Vi
cinity, Peter and Wash. Barnes doing a fair
proportion of the work, together with a lively
run of corn grinding.
We are now enjoying delightful fall weather.
the temperature ranging from $50 to So day
and night. Too warm, your northern readers
will think, but very pleasant for an acclimated
Texan.
Wild waterfowl are rapidly coming to
southern Texas, indicating that old Boreas
has started on his annual migration southwark.
The acorn mast is abundant upon which
hundreds of hogs will fatten. Not such scale
bending "whoppers' as the ADVOCATE tells
its readers about, but sufficiently corpulent to
furnish "a streak of lean and a streak of fat
in the anticipated ''sassages."
We have no politics that | know of; may be
an election this fall; haven't heard anyone
say. People here have an ''idea in their
heads that the rebellion ended nearly twenty
years ago. Foolish people they think that
the war horse is dead, the sabre broken and
the rifle ''busted" Profound political peace
prevails wherever I am acquainted in this
state.
The community is perfectly healthy SO far
as | know.
Continued success to the ADVOCATE, and
prosperity for its readers, is the wish of
PETER BARNES.

Love feast at Rocky Ridge was held on
Thursday of last week. We have been in

night taking hitching straps, buggy whips,
&c, from the buggies that were hitched near
the church.
The political cauldron at this place has not
reached the boiling point yet. We suggest
that our politicians wait until after the cleo
ton.
The farmers of this vicinity are about
through seeding. Those who are not will
probably stop for this season. We notice a
number of fields of standing corn, and very
few have begun their husking.
