WHITE WRIGHT, Feb. Z, 1884.
Mess1s Editors IL herewith send you a
few lines descriptive of this section of Texas,
thinking it may be of interest to the readers
of the ADVOCATE.
White Wright, my home, is situated in the
south. east portion of Grayson county, near
the line of Fannin county, in the midst of a
thickly settled agricultural district. The soil
here is known as the ''black waxy," which is
very productive. The principle products
grown are wheat oats, corn, cotton and vega
tables. The yield per acre is of wheat from
Is to 80 bushels, oats 40 to so, corn 20 to 50,
and cotton e-third to one bale of 500 pounds
per acre. Land in this section sells from SIS
to SIS per acre, according to Improvement.
Raw land west of here, about 100 miles, can
| be had at from 81 to So per acre. Dat SOW
ing and gardening are now in progress. We
| have had this winter about four weeks of Sc
we're cold weather, the thermometer register
ing as low as 70 above zero. White Wright
is 20 miles southeast of Sherman, the county
seat, and has about 400 inhabitants, and is a
lively business point. We have three large
churches, one large two-story school building,
there being now $50 students in attendance.
The community here will compare favorably
with any section in the union, as law abid-
ing and church going people, and are thor
oughly Democratic in principle and politics,

FINE GOODS.
Mr.. Paddock Trying to Fill "a Long
Felt Want"

The people of Wood River will have
none but the best of everything, and
prefer to pay a higher price for first
class goods than lower one for infe
rior goods Realizing this Charles E.
Paddock, sole agent in Idaho for
Wanamaker & Brown, of Philadel-
phia, the foremost establishment in
the world in the gents furnishing
goods line, has just put in stock of
goods for gents wear that for quality
and elegance is not equaled in the
inter- mountain country. His store
adjoins Humphreys Nevada Chop
House.
This being only an experiment, Mr..
Paddock's stock is not very extensive,
but it is sufficiently comprehensive to
include almost everything that gen
tleman may require in the way of
clothes or things to wear, no matter
how tinical his taste. If the expert
ment proves that this line of goods is
really wanted here, Mr.. Paddock will
secure additional storeroom and order
IL stock that will fully meet the de-
mand.
As list of all the articles at Mr.
Paddock's would require too mucl
space, few will be mentioned to sat
isfy all connoisseurs of their general
excellence. For instance, there are
seal skin caps; alligator, patent leath'
er, kid and velvet slippers; embroid
cred silk suspenders; silk handker
chiefs; kid mitts; gloves and gaunt
let's; fine dress boots and shoes; l6
thread underwear; soft flannels, nigh
wraps, etc. All of these are of the
very finest quality aud workmanship
while the prices which are marked
in plain Fl gures, and the same to all
are really low for such goods. Cal

An Incident Of Tragic Interest 10 thu
Travelling Public.

1t becomes our painful duty to
chronicle the death of our esteemed
fellow citizen, Mr.. Thomas Collins,
who met his death at Shoshone on the
evening of December 20, 1884, under
the most distressing ci, cumstances.
We take tits opportunity to give ex-
preston to our feelings in regard to
the cold-hloodeh and heartIess man.
ner OF his sudden taking off. We
quote from an interesting letter from
our special correspondents at Shoshone
the following facts in relation to this
sad affair, to.wit:
On the arrival Of the train from
Wood River, which, by the way, ar
rives in Shoshone after dark, Mr.. Col
Inns was accosted on the depot plat
form by two welI-dresse! and seem
ingly respectable young en-, and at
their urgent solicitation Mr.. Coll MS
permitted himself to be steered off into
the country, under the impression that
his new-found friends were taking
him to hotel. Arrived at the home
of these Young men from the county
Mr.. Collins was invited to partake OF
; repast which these designing per-
sons were pleased to call a meal
Poor Collins, in the euileless inno-
cence of his nature, accepted OF the
invitation, sat down to the festive
board, as he thought, to eat. But
alas! only to be found half an hour
later, dead at the table. This un.
looked for and sudden ending of sc
promising lie caused the most IN
tense excitement at SEoshone. The
Coroner being notified Immediately
proceeded to hold an inquest, and the
startling evidence in the case devel
oped the cruel fact that Mr.. Collins
had starved to death. Upon wha
fragile thread our lives depend. Ha,
Mr.. Collins followed the example o
the intelligent and wide -awa"e Woo
Riverites who nightly throng thu

We repeat, had Mr.. Collins fol
, lowed his Wood River friends to tn

that we would not be called upon t
