A TEX AS TOWN.

To the Editor of THE ARKANsAw TRAvKLER.
 The county and town of Wharton were named for an old settler of that name who lived here prior to the year I836 and who fought in the Texas war for ln dependence. Wharton numbers abou, six or seven hundred population, and is rapidly improving. There are twenty stores, three hotels, one church and a school-house. Mir. D. L. Ford, the proprietor of the Ford house, and Mir. Beisenbach, of the Central, are affable gentlemen, and friends to the travelling public. The proprietress of the Watts house is Mrs A. M. Watts, very deserv- ing lady, who is also postmistress.
 The sheriff is A. s. Jones, but repre- sented ty his deputy and brother, ]. w. Jones. Captain J. A. Hamilton is dis trict and county clerk. The bar is com. posed of the following gentlemen: Col onel l. N Dennis, Captain R T. Chap man, Judge A. H. Bobo, Messrs. King & Kelly, w. (. Carpenter and Judge w. ]. Groom, who is the present county judge. Judge H. J. Schley, an old citizen, is the efficient county surveyor.
 have never been in more attractive village than Wharton. Its citizens are intelligent, refined and progressive. The land here is alluvial, and the soil is from fifteen to twenty feet deep and very rich The beauty of these bottom lands is, that they are above overfows. Strange to say, the we'll water here, unlike that of m ost bottom countries, IS pure and cold.
 This is undoubtedly the best cotton country in the world. The average crop of Wharton county this year will not fall much short of two bales to the acre. A few days ago I drove up the Columbus road few miles. The az. riculIural scenery varied with wo ,ds of pecan, elm, and hackberry, the clear, blue sky, the very green verdure and the trees overhung with long draperies of moss, rendered the scene indescribably beautiful.
 1 would suggest to all land seekers, in search of cotton, sugar or corn and oat lands, to come and see Wharton county lands before purchasing elsewhere in Texas. Plantations that changed hands prior to the war at $50 co per acre, and were abandoned after the abolition of slavery, are now being brought back into cultivation.
 The people boast of the healthfulness of this section, and with good reason.

the rocks a short distance above, when we entered the most magnificent of all the canonS in this range. Moving slow ly, not faster than a man can walk, we passed out on a marrow pathway chiseied from the solid rock, and along the noun tain's face around the shortest curve yet seen. From 6Oo feet below comes the roar of the foaming torrents, while 500 feet above the beetling cliffs looked down upon us. The opposite side of the canon against which one cosaid almost throw the useless end Of his cigar, rose almost yer 'tically an unscalable waA. After passing through this canon for two miles we en- tered the defle, while all around the mountains reared their stocm worn heads. Nearing Silverton the casi0s of the min ers up the mountain sides divided our att tention with the many beautiful cascades and waterfalls. Continuing northward, gradually gaining in altitude, we finally ia bilverton, in the heart of the San Juan. The town has population of about 6oo, has more college-bred men ts the square yard than any town in the mining coun- try, and promises to be the camp of the section. It is still in its infancy, but the prospects looming up all around will doubtless develop it rapidly. Although the Denver and Rio Grande railroad runs through such wild and rugged country, it's managers have as yet had no accidents to record. Its management is excellent, its employees courteous, and the tourist should feel as safe in its cars as if they were on the smoothest and most level of the old roads.

The Great Southwestern Music House.
 Considering the natural advantages oi the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is bat natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little Rock, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there is none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H. G. Hollenberg. A business career of over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competi- tors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best m akes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining to their line, and are prep ared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered
 All goods handled by H. C.. Hollenberg are comprised in neat catalogue which will be mailed free to any address. Par ties contemplating the purchase of a Plano, or organ, or musical merchandise of any description, should not fail to ob- tain Hollenberg's prices befor, ordering elsewhere. Address. H. G.

Tackling n Devil Fish.


Some years ago some devil fish appeared in

and the sailors, who We're Swedes, and had
never seen one of the fish before, saw them
playing around III the harbor, and thought
it would be a good Joke to spear one. So
they took n light skiff and pair of old
whale harpOons and ropes that belonged to
the schooner and started out, and were
Joined by the other boats. In n short time
one of the boats got alongside of sea bat
and a rouser it was, too. When they struck

rushing up the harbOr at a rate she never
went before 1t was a blind lead, though,
and the fish had to turn, and the Skiff was
ierked around so quickly that she half filled,
and one man was tumbIed overheard
Up the ch annel they went some yelling
for the boat and Others to cut the line as it
was evident that she would fill in a moment;
but it happen ed that the only man who had
n knife had b, zen dropped overheard, and as
they couldn't get the line united, they had

ahont to jump ov erboard and let everything
