Telepll0njc.

THE GAZETTE building was yester-
day again thronged with those desir-
GUS Of listening to the wonderful re-
suits obtained from this marvellous in
strument. The management of the
Pan-Eiectric company, DESTROYS of
eclipsing all previous efforts, placed
additional receivers for those who de-
sired to use them, and to the uninitiat-
ed The scene presented wSs a most
striking one. Here were number of
persons, actuated by unseen impulses,
giving way TO the widest enthusiasm,
and then again becoming the most at
tentive listeners. All of this in con-
sonance with the proceedings of the
convention at the opera.hOuse. In
fact, the names Of the successful cam
didates for delegates from the state at
large was known at The GAZETTE of
lice before 1t was announced from the
chair To say that those
who listened through the Pan-Elec-
trio telephone went away thoroughly
convinced of its superior merits would
be putting the matter very mildly.
When we learn from the electrician
of the company that, in addition to the
high transmitting qualities Of this in
strument, they propose putting in
vastly improved exchange system
which will give more rapid and re-
liable connection than that at present
in use, and when the people of the
state of Texas look upon the names of
the officers of this company in this
state, they will feel a pleasure and a
pride in contributing to the success of
such magnificent and extensive un-
dertaking; for it is i-tended that ere
long the Pan-Electric will vibrate in
every town in the state. We congrat-
ulate the people of Fort Worth that
their city has been selected to intro
duce the most successful telephone to-
day in tue world. Verify, Phillip
Refs of Germany, though dead, yet
speaketh. All honor to the original
| inventor of the telephone.

TARRANT COUNTY CROPS.
Prospects In Various Parts OF the
i"A County.

The crops Of Tarrant county are
much better than 1t was feared they
would be soon after the recent heavy
rain storms, though they are damaged
In some sections.
Mr.. Porter King, who lives few
miles southeast Of Handley, does
not give gloomy account OF
his section. He says the
crops are generally poor; that not more
than half crop of corn, cotton and
wheat will be raised, but that oats are
very fine and grass is good. However,
he says his own crops are good
average, but some of his neighbors
have suffered from the wet weather.
Mr.. III. Wall, who lives northeast of
Grapevine, says the wheat, oats and
corn in his neighborhood are in good
conditions; corn has suffered some, but
on black land the crop will be fine.
he says the cotton Is back
ward, but where 1t is worked
there is good prospect for crop, but
that the acreage In cotton is compara-
lively small. He also stated that his
section will raise more small grain
than { has in any one year in the
last ten.
II. IL. King, one of the county COM
missioners from this city and also one
of the jury of view who has been lay
ing of the straight road through the
different parts Of the
county, says more oats
will be raised in Tarrant county than
ever before in one year; that the wheat
crop is fine except in localities; that
the corn crop maybe considered fair ;
that the cotton crop looks poorly, but
where it has been worked there is a
prospect for fair yield. He says if
the people can save their crops an i'm
mense yield will be the result. In his
work on the roads MIR. King says he
has seen whole families at work in the
mud trying to clear the grass and
weeds from their cotton, and
that another week of good
weather will put the cotton crop in
very good order. He further States
that more rain has fallen this season
than he ever saw during the same time
in the past thirty years; that he has
seen the water in the river higher but
not so much rain in so short u time.
The farmers are working night and
day harvesting the wheat crop, and
good reports received from all sections,
accompanied with few isolated COM
plants.
