A New Daily Fine Furniture for The
Court Bouse--Isa

A New Daily Fine Furniture for the
Court-Bouse-Itailroa
Special 10 the Gazette.
Bolton, Tx, Feb. S.--The Bolton
Daily News made It's first appearance on
the streets this morning. This paper is
a neat, newsy little sheet, and promises
in its salntatory TO always look TO the
best interests Of Bolton. The citizens
generally are In sympathy with the enter
prise, and consider 1t quite an acquisi-
ton 10 our city.
The new furniture for the courthouse
has just been received aud placed In po-
sition. There are $50 pieces, and IL Is
said by men competent to Judge that II is
the finest furniture In the state. The
commissioners required the bids 10 fur
nish the courthouse ali to be sealed, and
the contract was awarded to the Mitchell
Furniture company Of Cincinnati as offer
ing the best bargain.
There has been some correspondence
between Belton's leading citizens and the
officials Of two railroads, and they claim
we have chance for two additional
roads. From the present outlook Bolton
will doubtless be the leading city in
Central Texas.

A neep Mnier nIeniinr.

1t was rumored on the streets yester-
day that a public meeting would be held
at the courthouse Saturday afternoon to
discuss deep water, and particularly the
claims of Sabine Pass. In view OF
the growing commercial Importance
of Texas, and the need for a
flrst-class harbor, where deep draught
vessels can come in and out with ease, it
is matter of no little import to the peo-
pie Of the interior and particularly to a
live and progressive CITY like Fort Worth.
If such meeting is held it is hoped that
it will be largely attended.

None OF those crossings over Robinson

attended to as yet. There are some sub
stantial taxpayers on that side, and it is
no little inconvenience to them to make
daily eircuitous trips to get to their

forced to do this or trespass upon private

DEATH or THOMAS oooKlNas.

VETERAN OF THE CRIMEAN WAR AND A
SOLDIER UNDER ROBERT II. LIRE
The following from the San Antonio
Express will be of interest to the friends
of Mrs. Matheney in Fort Worth, where
that lady formerly resided Mrs Jennie
Matheney of this city has received the
following announcement OF the death OF
her father, through the Cincinnati En-
quirer:
Thomas Cockings, Esq, of Lincoln
county, W. Va, who died January g.,
1856, was man of more than usual his
tory, and wen known in this city. Born
in Staffordshire, England, he entered the
British army in time to do good service,
and won his spurs IN the Crimean war.
AT the breaking out OF the rebellion he
was stationed at the island OF Jamaica,
West Indies, Shortly after the firing
upon Fort Sumter, Gen. G. j. T. Beaure-
gard, then in command at Charleston,
5. c., who had met him previously,
rendered him an office in the Con-
federate service. Resigning his COM
mission under her majesty, he arrived in
Charleston on the blockader Fox, the
first OF that long series of daring cruis-
ers TO enter the harbor. Beauregard,
knowing his ability and knowledge of
military discipline, assigned him at once
to the icharge of the large body Of I'M
trained militia then gathering ut James,
Island, S. c., where he soon brought or.
der out of chaos. He served with great
gallantry in the army of Northern Vir-
ginia under Lee, until the close at Apo
mattox. Approaching the great value OF
the mineral resources of West Virginia,
he purchased large tracts of land there,
where he lived until his death, great en-.
thusiast as TO the future prospects of his
adopted state. He was buried January s,
with Masonic honors.

WHAT THE FARMERS ARE DOING.

A SOVEREIGN OF LONG STANDING.
A GAZETTE man was talking yesterday
to very intelligent and well-posted
farmer OF this county. In speaking of the
late freeze which killed the oats and dam
aged the wheat crop TO some extent, he
said: cali OF us are busily engaged In
sowing oats over, though some are putting
in barley instead. The weather is beauu-
full, and If 1t only continues this way,
another big grain crop will reward the
tillers Of the soil"

DWELL, as far as can ascertain, don't
think there has been much Of it hurt.
Some that was planted very shallow may
be killed, but the biggest part only got
black eye, so TO speak, that viii get in
good shape ere many days"
elbow does the acreage sown in grain
compare with that of last Year,"
81 think there was fully 10 per cent.
more land sown TO small grain In Tar
rant county this season than last, but
this amount will be reduced, from the
fact that good deal of the land put IN
oats, on account of the bad luck that
overlook them, will now be devoted to
corn and cotton; still there will be an
Increase
"What do you think Of the future OF
this country as a grain-growing section?
"The possibilities are simply immense
