VAL VERDE.
Some Interesting Facts Concern
ing the New County.

81 sec the bill for the organization Of
Val Verde county has passed, Mr.. Dig
nowity," said LIGnT reporter to that
gentleman this morning.
"Yes, have just come over from Aus
tin, where was the lobbyist for the
people of Val Verde. We succeeded in
getting the county through by a unani-
nous vote. giving them the benefit Of
the emergency clause. The county can
be organized within tue next 30 days.
The county will have 21O0 square
miles Of territory. II will take
county of Kinney, 22O square miles Of
Peoos and the balance OF tire unorgan-
lied portion Of Crockett county. 1t Inns
n taxable wealth Of over S2,000,000 aud
will have about 400 voters. Del Rio
will be the county seat, aud IL will be
one Of the most prosperous counties In
West Texas, owing TO the railroad facili-
ties and the irrigation farms, and the
influx of people plainly betOkens that
fact already
what are the interests of Val Verde
county Z" was the next query.
1.-The people of Val Verde are cos
mupolitan people, and are engaged IN
raising cattle, sheep. goats and horses.
The irrigation system Mt Del Rio
Is excellent, some 1900 acres of land
being ira igated and under cultivation,
the products being cereals, cane. fruit.
grapes and vegetables In all varieties.
Del Rio began about three years ago
with 900 inhabitants; to-day II can boast
of having upwards Of 1000.
"The Redwood depot, on the line of the
Southern Pacific, Is one of the best In
the section. IL has a roundhouse and
workshops. and | can safely assert that
in very short time 1t win rank rs
division. There is also n railroad hotel,
ice house and waterworks. 1t has s or
10 stores, one general merchandise, two
drug stores. carriage and wagon factory,
blacksmiths, barber shops and jewelry
stores. and two schools, which are well
attended, one having an attendance of
100 scholars and the other 30. There
are three churches built, and 1t Is In con-
temptation to build another-a Roman
Catholic.
"Del Rio has got to be quite home
for onttlemen, who are In extensive
business on the Mexican territory. In
connection with the extensive stock and
sheep raising in the Northwest and with
the new county, 1t is bound to become
an important point in the near future.
| All that Is now necessary to make IL an
| important town Of the western country
is the establishment of custom house
on the Mexican side at the Town of Las
Nagas, which has n population OF 100.
| There, that Is about all | can tell you at
| present of the new county of Val Verde,
but you shall have some further partCu-
| lars soon."

Editor San Antonio Lights
desire to call the attention of the
city authorities to the lawlessness of
some of the minor Inhabitants of the
Fourth ward. Last evening at 10 O'Clock,
while passing down Water street ! heard
what thought to be an aged Mexican
woman scolding her children. In mo-
ment or two saw an old lady hobbling
along MS best as she could. AS she APP
preached me some one threw a stone ut
her, and in very short time another
was thrown which struck the woman in
the back. At first thought the blow
had injured her seriously as she stag
gered and screamed very loudly. |
asked her II she knew who 1t was, and
she answered "las negras.n This hap
pened on the corner of Water and G ollad
streets. The woman lives on the corner
of Water and Victoria streets, opposite
Alderman Muench's residence. | learn
from the people of that neighborhood
thar great many children, white and
colored, are In the habit Of throwing
stones on her house for amusement
Prompt action on the part of the author
titles to suppress the evil would meet
with the approval Of every true citizen
If some one familiar with the Spanish
language be appointed TO investigate
this affair. and will call on the old lady
no doubt he could gain information that
would lead to the arrest and conviction
of the guilty parties. &C."

Piles are frequently preceded by n
sense of weight in the back, loins and

stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
