GREENvINE, Sept, 25.-Thc old
adagc has it that mlsfortunes sell
dom come alone but as q general
thing one misfortunes follows an
other in close succession, the ex-
cessivc summer droughts cut the
corn, cotton, hay and oat crops
short in the vicinity OF Greenvine,
then came Prof. Fosters storm on
The 10th of August, then the cqui-
noxIaI storm, the Esd ofScptcmbor
damaging the corn and cotton
crop very much. The farmers
however are beginning to learn
from experience that it is useless
to gricve after split milk. Well 1t
is to be hoped that the Farmers
alliance which was organized at
this place on Saturday last by
thor agent and district lecturer,
c. \. Leccraft, of Lee county,
will be the means of clcVating the
farmers of the vicinity of Green
vine, Texas, and bring them up to
4 level with other organizations,
of minor importance. Mr.. Lee
craft is certainly an affable and
fluent lecturer, IN short he is the
right man in the right place. All
classes OF our citizens, even the
government itsclfis dependent on
the farmers for their support.
Politics seem to be at low cbb,
occasionally a struggling candidate
for some county or precinct Office
is seen passing through Greenvinc.
Our motto, is TO vote for the best
men, irrespective of party affilia-
tons or nationality. l believe that
[ hazard nothing in asserting that
largo majority of voters of Texas
are in favor OF making tho tenure
of office of all state and county Of |
fees offour years duration IN place
of two rs at present, let our can
didatcs for the Legislature make an
issue; who will make the venture
and take the lead in this important |
matter.
Another matter in connection with |
the legislative department of state,
is an amendment to tho ostray law
ut present it is defective and ought
TO be amended.
As time rolls on our country
changes, which makes it necessary
TO mako certain amendments to
our state law.
Candidates for county commas
sioner of this commissioners pre-
cinct, are slow In coming to the
front, Mr.. o. f. Lyon, of Wesley,
has been solicited to become q can
dIdato for commissioner, and if he
will consent to lot his name be
TO the voters, at the No
vcmbcr election as a candidate for
said Office, he will get the almost
vote of this the 9th JUS
tice precinct.
A little over one third of q crop
of corn and cotton will be made in
this vicinity, Campbell and Boyd
have ginned about 200 bales this
season, Brandcs & Bros 343 and
other gins in proportion.
The new Lutheran church that
was demolished by the cyclone,
that visited GrecnvIne sometime
ago, has been rebuilt at q cost of
$500 10 its members, and their

On tho tables OF many farmers
mutton is rarely If ever to be seen;
while pork or bacon, year in and
year out, is the one indispensable
dish. This is generally due more
to custom than any dislike for NUT
ton, for the sheep IS one of the
clcanliest of all the animals used
as food; yet it is remarkable that
some people can not endure NUT
ton IN any form, while they have
no fault to find with the flesh of
the hog, which makes itself ut homo
