FROM LLANO COUNTY.
Short Crop Of Cotton"oood Corn, and
Plenty Of Cattle.

Special Correspondence of the Light.
BLuffroN. Llano county, September I,
Disclaimers throughout this section
unexpected shortage in the cotton crop.
A month ago it promised to be at least
half n bale per acre, but the long con
tinued drouth has put n top crop out of
question and greatly reduced the lower
picking from what WAS anticipated even
two weeks ago when picking com
menoed. SO that the very highest esti-
mate now cannot be placed above one
fourth bale, If indeed 1t is certain of that
the county over. However, as 1t Is, the
yield will be better than last year, which
is some consolation, and the hope (of
the springing eternal in the human
breast-varlety) that next year will be
famous cotton year, affords some more
consolation, though the latter is comfort,
something like Mark Twains fun OF
climbing the pyramids, of very mild
type. This makes the third year of
short cotton crops In this part of the
country, causing hard times among
farmers and dull business with buyers
of the fleecy staple.
The leading cotton and wool firm of
this section, the Southern Produce COM
pany OF Burnet, have recently removed
to San Antonio, where they hope to find
more life In business and better chances
to use an ample capital to advantage,
and where the LIGHT no doubt has or
will form their business acquaintance,
rs they scattered printers ink pretty
freely while in this part of the State.
The corn here Is nearly all gathered,
and while not heavy, will be sufficient in
this county to supply home consumption
for the greater part of the year, and with
plentiful supply of hogs and cattle,
will enable the people to pull through in
very good shape. Owing to the very
low prices of last spring, nearly all our
cattle men held their stock over, and
now that the Indian Territory blockade
Is to be raised, they hope to realize good
figures next year, and as nearly all farm
ers are, to some extent, cattle men, n
good sprinkling of money will follow the
spring sales in this and adjoining coun-
ties.
Criminal matters are quiet in this i'm
mediate locality, though the extreme
western part of the county was enlivened
one day last week by man named
Roundtree, who shot and slightly
wounded road overseer, who was open-
Ing anew road through his (Roundtree's )
land.
Educational and matrimonial matters.
on the contrary, are full of life through
out our county, there being schools GO
ing on in almost every district; and
every young man who is possessed of as
much as the traditional Arkansaw start
in life IA fiddle and coon dog) is look
ing around for n wife, so that you see
the population is well provided for.
