ROCK WALL.
The Farmers Regainipg Their Equi-
librium-A Railroad Wanted.
Special.

RoCKwALL, TEX, June 1.-The
heavy rains Of last week have retarded
farm work seriously. 1t Ia now ten
days since blowing ceased Ia many To-
calities. Fortunately every one was
up with his work when the rains set
in or the result would have been much
more disastrous. On Wednesday night
we had very heavy rain, accompanied
with the strongest blow OF the season.
The wheat crop Is said To he very much
damaged by being blown down and
tangled in such manner that 1T will
never rise again. Corn was also pros
trated but il will regain its erect po'
sition, or nearly 80. Cotton Is doing
we'll and as coon as the. land il sufii
GENTLY dry the song OF the farmer will
aRain be heard in the fields rejoicing
over the death OF the cookie burr and
kindred pests.
The erection Of our public sehoo
building Is assured. Our citizens have
responded literally, and by the lst OF
October we will have house for our
schools that would do credit TO any
community. Our people are certaldly
alive TO the cause of education, and IL
all points we would indeed be happy.
Why is 1t that sections OF this
state which are sparsely populated,
and comparatively poor az regards soil,
aud will always remains so with al
most nothing to ship, can be so easily
accommodated with railroads, when
section such as ours, say from
Fort Worth or Dallas TO Rockwell,
Greenville, Cooper or Paris, where al
most every acre for miles on either
side Of O line OF road would contribute
ia share OF freigbts, 10 say nothing OF
the local travel which would be simply
immense, and more especially when
the people along the proposed line have
agreed 10 donate sufficient amount 70
build half the line, has no railroad
connection?
The health OF the community Is iirst
rate, and doctors have very little pro-
fessional work to do. Business In our
town is improving, II we are to Judge
by the increased stocks OF our mer-
| chants.
