Dcep Water nc Galveston Don't Seem 10
Taite--Cotton to be Tried.
Correspondence OF tho Gazette
SAN DIEGO, TEX, Feb. Is A regular
mortimer came down upon us on the night
Of the l4th Just like thousand Of brisk.
Everything was frozen In minute
have heard that blizzard travelled with
twice the speed OF lightning, and one OF
them must have been hitched on to the
last norther, which may have retarded
the blizzard's speed little. However.
we are now having pleasant weather
again, for which we are duly thankful.
but We would be infinitely more so II we
could get good soaking rain, which we
are needing terribly. Our farmers and
alliances are preparing to go heavily In
the culture OF cotton this year,
and quite large quantity OF
the seed has been distributed among them
gratuitously by society formed here for
the express purpose Of encouraging farm
ing, and particularly TO develop the tit
ness OF our county of Duval for cotton
growing II would be great pity, in
deed, II this season should be so dry rs to
nip this great enterprise at its very com
mencement.
The county Judge called meeting OF
the citizens here on the night of the 10th,
In compliance with request forwarded
to him from the deep-water committee of
Galveston that he should do so, and ask
the people Of Duval to memorabilia their
representatives in congress to make ade-
quate appropriation for obtaining deep
water at Galveston. The meeting was
attended by one person alone, the county
Judge, who, after regularly calling the
assembly TO order, constituted himself a
committee Of one TO express the sense OF
the meeting, which, judging from the in
terest displayed by the San Diegoites and
the citizens OF Duval county, the com.
mittee concluded to let Galveston fight
her own bar fight and not to interfere,
after which the meeting adjourned.
! Our public free schools have been pro-
crossing finely, and the teachers deserve
| great credit for the advancement OF theii
pupils, but on account of the small APP
preparation received by our county, from
some cause, most probably in the taking
OF the scholastic census, one or two o.
our schools have had to close their SEES
sions already. We have, however, on'
excellent private school in San Diego.

Correspondence of The Gazette
LIANo, TRx,, Feb. 20.--0n last Friday
night at dance in the country some five

die were stolen from two young men who
were at the dance. They thought per.
haps the horse had gotten loose, and
never made any complaint until last Mon.
day. The owners then became satisfied
that their horse and saddle were stolen,
and at once summoned posse and
went into the mountains TO search for
the horse and thief, and TO their great
surprise they saw then man and soon
had him in the jail. They found the sad.
die in some bushes near where they found
him. He says he stole the saddle but
never stole the horse.
Mr.. b. Il. Redford, living about eight
