To the Editor OF the Gazette.
In your issue of the llth inst. we see
q special from Whitney, in this coun-
w, in which the author states that
"Judge Deberry of Cleburne will poll
the heaviest vote for district judge, as
he Is undoubtedly the choice of the
majority The verbage of this spy-
cial Is ample evidence Of the authors
capacity to determine momentous
questions.
We conclude that little Importance
will be attached to the assertion. We
have four candidates tor Judge Of the
district--two from johnson county,
one from Bnsque and one from Hill
county, aud the assertion that either
of the candidates outside uf Hin county
are favored by majority of the voters
of Hill as against Hon. :. &. Upshaw,
who is an hNnored citizen and able
| lawyer OF the county, is unquestion'
ably based upon Ignorance OF the situa'
ton or impure motives. ; A. X,

At this season of the year, when moth
ing green or succulent is to be had, cat
tie are liable to suffer from impactiOns
and other disorders of the stomach in
co sequence of partaking of too la ge
quantities of coarse and dry food and
thus get more or less off their feed, and
suffer in condition and general health.
This is serious enough in the case OF
store cattl,e but in the case of those be-
ing fed for approaching sales 1T is much
worse, as ground is lost which it takes
time as well as expensive feed to re-
gain. This condition of affairs could
largely be avoided and the cattle main
tanned in better thrift if small portion
of oil-meal were included in the daily
ration. We believe it can be fed with
profit. as a stock food in compos; ton
with other foods; but without entering
upon a discussion of this question now,
or attempting to convince gentlemen to
adopt new practice when the old is
so convenient to follow-reserving this
for future consideration or allowing it
to rest upon what has heretofore been
enough oil-meal to keep the animals in
thriving, healthy condition. Avery lit
tie, given regularly, will answer the
purpose, and it will be found admirable
in preventing constipation and impart-
ing TO the stomach and digestive organs
a fine, healthy tone. 1t assists greatly
in the digestion and assimilation of 9TH
err foods, and the use will be be found
in every way satisfactory. 1t can also
be fed to other descriptions of live stock
in smaller quantities, and we have fourd
its use particularly advantageous with
horses subject to collie or intestinal dis
| orders. -Rreedsrs' Gazette.

Children's Wool Dresses.

Fine wool stuffs are the favorite
choice for children's dresses this winter,
and are used not only for day and street
dresses, but also for the pretty toilettes
in which the smallest girls are arrayed
ut children's parties, or on their
mammas reception days. The taste in
such matters has undergone a change
for the better, and instead of the elabor-
ate lace dresses over silk that were
formerly used, simple frock of the
finest white wool or of some pale pink
or rose tint, or even delicate gray
shade, is now thought appropriate for
occasions on which children are most
dressed. The guimpe dresses and the
blouse princesse are the styles most
liked for woollens, and these are worn
by girls from two years of age up to
those who are ten or twelve years old.
For the smallest children the short
WASTED cited guimpe dresses are made
of light blue or pink French cashmere
or of the more shaggy cancels hair, and
are ent rely without trimming. The
full '.baby" waist is low in the neck,
and has puffs or shoulder-straps for its
short sleeves. The top of the waist is
plated or else gathered by two or three
rows of shirring into the plainest band
or binding of the cashmere, while the
lower part is plated or gathered into
the belt; the sleeves, if pulled, have a
similar binding, and the back is closely
buttoned. Tie skirt is quite long, fall
ing halfway between the knees and
ankles, and is very full, without be ne
sloped narrower at the top. For its
trimming hem of two or three inches
and some tucks above will suffice fol
the smallest girls, but for larger girls
several parallel rows of braid may be
placed above wide hem, or else there
may be two clusters of braid above a
narrower hem and a tuck of the same
width. In Europe these dresses are
worn without guimpe, but here it il
the more sensible and comfortable fash
ion to cover the child's neck and arm!
with little muslin guimpe Tor under
waist) that is prettily tucked or embroi
dered in yoke shape as far as is visible
above the low neck of the dress; thu
sleeves are slightly full, and have a cuff
trimmed to match the yoke.-Harper''

No other industry in this country
has increased as RAPIDLY in the past as
sheep and wool growing. To fully un
derstand the great rate of increase it is
only necessary to remember the fac
that in 1880 there were only about 3D.
100000 sheep in the United states. We
now have nearly 50,000,O00. In 1885,
the wool clipped amounted 10 only co.

this period ofover two-fold of sheep anc
five fold in production of wool.-Chica
