FLOODED SHEEP.
Colonel G. Thompkns, OF Auson, Jones
county, interested us well for time, last
Saturday, by showing us 50 Spar ish merlno
ewes, Spanish merino bucks and 100 high
GRADES he had bought at the Merino Sheep
breeders Association, at Cherry Valley,
iilih0H. His th0rough-breeds were the
ilhest we have ever seen in the state. The
best OF them have sheared II pounds of
WOOL at a year OLD. They showed no signs
oil disease of any kind, and were very fat,
ana OF beautiful size and shape. They
could scarcely see for the wool that grew
out near, and hung down over their eyes.
II our wooi-growers will take the pains 10
go and see those sheep, they will at first
sight be convinced that this state has been
humbugeed great deal by graded sheep
sold here for iull-bloods and thorough
breeds. These sheep belong to Mr.. Bush,
OF Rusk county, Texas, and Mr.. Thomp-
kins. Their rancho is near Arson, Jones
county, north of Abilene. They have
bought them exclusively for breeding, that
our woo!-growers may purchase fine sheep
~ nome, and not go to other states as is
the cu,tom.-[ Abilene Magnetic Quill.
CRIME NORTH AND SOUTH.
In view of the gratuitous ISLANDERS and
abuse that the north has heaped upon the
SOUTH and especially on Texas, on account
ofthe amount OF crime committed, and the
OF murders done and the murder
ers allowed to go unpublished, 1t would do
well Tor those whining humanitarians, sta
tlstlclans, and puritanical philanthropsts
TO take notice of the following facts which a
northern paper reports from its own files
Total number of murders committed in the
United States during the year 1882, 100. OF
these 900 were committed in the north, aud
go were committed in the south. There
were lOl executions during the same year
OF these 40 were in the south. That is, of
the 800 murderers in the north but 30 were
hanged, or to every o; while OF the 220
murderers in the,south 45 were hanged, or
ol.eyery .. Then let those slanderers of the
south say in which section is human life
cheapest and crime Of the most heinous and
dabolica! kind most frequent; and then
please say in which section of the Federal
union is tlagrant crime most sure to meet
condgn and just punishment,-[ Marshall
