PALESTINE.

Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, Ten, Sept. 1.-The
knights of Labor held meeting last
night, and BY a large majority passed a
resolution boycotting the Palestine Adyo-
cate. This morning committee OF
knights went around to the business
men having advertisements in the Advo-
cate and threatened them with a With
drawal of their trade unless they with
drew all support from the paper. The
cause Of the boycottlng move on the part
of the knights was that the Advocate
copied definition of the term "scab, !"
giving proper credit, from the San An
tonic Express, and also on account
of the phraseology of a short news para
graph giving an account of the settlement
of a labor strike In st. Louis last week.
one of the threatened business men called
at the office of the Advocate and renewed
his advertisement this evening,
Mr.. G.. AXling, who is charged with at
tempting to murder NJ. Hinsie, succeeded
in making bond last night.
The Palestine Rifles are still guarding
the negro Bob Williams to prevent his
being lynched. Citizens generally apprc-
bend no attack on the Jail,

SAN ANGELO.

Correspondence ofthe Gazette.
san ANGELo, TEN, sept. 9,--Thcrc has
been general aud abundant rain in the
Coucho country the past week, that has
effaced the lines Of care from the stock
mans face, and wrcathed that OF the
granger in complaccnt smiles. The
blackness OF the burnt districts is being
replaced by living green, and all over the
range the grass IL springlng into life, and
cattle again frequent the deserted water
holes Under such favorable conditions
the st0ckman cannot suppress MS glad
ness, except when he contcmplates the
granger In much the same spirit llaman
contemplated the jew at the kings gate.
What does all this profit him, while the
granger squattcth down In his pastures I!
The actual settler rails at the barbcd-wirc
fences lncloslng the extensive pastures,
but the temptation TO turn the virgin soil
is too great to be overcome by such a
slight obstacle, and many Immigrants are
filing for actual settlement upon lands in
side OF Enclosures. The people are look
ing forward with great interest to the ar
rival of the grass commissioner, and II
his cars are assaulted with the complaints
daily filling the air, he VIII imagine he has
dropped into a terrestrial pandcmonium.
But the probability is that his presence
will be as oil upon the troubled waters,
and that informers will not be as numcr-
Gus AS present complainants. In fact a
| irSt-class grievance Is something not to be
found every day, and when once acquired,
| 1t is to most persons n source OF real
enjoyment they are slow to relinquish.
The district court Is in session, Judge
Kennedy presiding. There Is heavy
docket, aud some cases are being tried,
growing out Of the inaccurate surveys
made at an early day In this portion OF
the state
Several religious denominations are
holding protracted meetings this week,
and number of accesslons are making
to the different organizations, though
there seems to be but little religious cN-
element.
