BROWN COUNTY.
Brownwood Booming,A New Court
house, Splendid crops.

Special To the Examiner.
Brentwood, Texas, August s.
Brownwood is now on a boom, as the
Gulf Colorado and Santa Fc railway
extension is rapidly approaching this
place,and property is fast advancing
in price. Speculation runs high, for
the average citizen thinks brentwood
is certain TO become a large city in
the near future. In some parts of the
town, lots have doubled in price
within the last sixty days.
Brown county has lately construct
ed courthouse which would be a
credit to any section of the state The
material USED was sandstone and the
character of the work reflects great
credit on the builder, Mr.. Tenant,
one of Waco's contractors.
The crops are the finest ever
seen in Brown county
Wheat is mostly thrcshed and
turns out from twenty to thirty bush
els of fine grain to the acre. The corr
crop is very fine and will yield from
thirty-tiye to forty bushels per acre
Cotton is looking well and unles
some disaster occurs will yield larg
! crop.
In fact everything is lovely and ey
: erybody happy, except the poor shee
men as there is Il perfect panic in thel
business. A herd of sheep recent
I sold on the streets here for fifty cent
1 per head. These same sheep tire
4 years ago would have brought at lea
@ four dollars per head.

GERMAN NOTES.

FRANCO. @ ERMAN NEWSPAPER WAR.
Berlin, August 5.-The article IN the
North German Gazette attacking
France, in connection with the advice
of the Paris Temps that the French
cavalry on the frontier be reinforced,
has seriously affected the Berlin and
Frankfort bourses. 1t is supposed in
official circles that the object of the
article is TO prepare the public for Il
large increase in the military budget.
All the German newspapers, following
the Gazette, dwell upon the fact that
the approach of France and Russia
toward each other is coinoident with
increasing good will between Eug-
land aud Germany.

DEAR SRI have read your letter
with amazement and Indignation.
There is but one mitigation to the
pertidy which your letter disCloses
and that is found in the fact that you
confess your share in 1t. do not
know whether you are democrat or
not but if you are, the crime which
you confess is the more un ardona-
bic. The idea that this administra-
ton, pledged to give the people
better government and better
officers, and engaged in hand
to hand struggle with the bad
elements of both the parties,
shall be betrayed by those who ought
to be worthy of implicit trust, is afro
cious and such treason to the people
aud to the party ought to be punished
by imprisonment. Your confession
comes too late to he OF immediate use
to the public service aud can only
say that while this il not the first time
| have been misled by lying and
treacherous representations you are
the first one that has thus far offered
his grievance for his fault. If any
comfort is to be eXtr~c ed from this
assurance you are welcome to it.
Yours Truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
