A KENTUCKY TIMON.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
81 remember" said the colonel of an
Ohio regiment, "there was for good
many months at the Camp Chase hospital
a mysterious, mOrose invalid, whose limbs
had been paralyZed. He was a cavalry
officer, and in one engagement, after he
had been severely wounded, his horse fell
on him and pinned him in agony to the
ground. He was not released for hours,
and as the result of that wound and that
long agony came his dead limbs. He be-
came discouraged and disturbed over a
fancied slight on the part of his own peo-
pie, and buried himself as it were in the
camp hospital. In some way it became
understood that he died. l am not clear
as to how the affair was managed, but the
impression prevailed very generally, even
among the visitors to the hospital. In
the course of several months gentleman
and lady came from Kentucky
to make inquiries about the
mOrOse invalid, The answer to their
questions at the hospital were evasive, but
some attendant pointed out to them the
grave of the man they sought. They ac-
cepted this mans story without question,
and took steps to have the remains taken
south. At this juncture another attend
ant at the hospital called on them to ex-
plain that the mysterious invalid was not
dead, but that he had disappeared under
circumstances not clearly understood by
anyone about the hospital. This brought
about an investigation, and the further
the people went into the matter the more
they were mystified, but in the end the
man was found. On the first Decoration
day observed at the cemetery at Colum-
bus a man on crutches came suddenly face
to face with lady, who sprang toward
him with scream, and had him in her
arms before he comprehended the circum-
stances or the situation. This woman
was his sister, and she carried him off,
much against his will, to the old home,
where a reconciliation took place, and the
man so far recovered as to enter upon his
old business and to succeed"

personal friendship for him. But we know
that he has been in the comptrol-
ler's Office in different positions for twelve
or fifteen years, and during the last four
years he has been chief clerk. He knows
the duties of the Office now. 1t is ad-
mitted even by the friends of other can
didates that ohm D. Mccall is the best
qualified man in the state for tho Office he
seeks. He deserves promotion and should
have it. There is no good reason for
passing him by and giving the Office to
some other man. John D. Mccall should
be nominated for the position.
| Citizens journal, Atlanta, Texas;
| We notice there are several candidates
for SWANS place, as comptroller. John
ID. Mccall is the man for that position,
having been long time clerk in that de-
partment, there is no man as thoroughly
acquainted with the business of the Office
as he is and he is worthy of being pro-
NOTED.
Bolton Daily News:
John d. Mccall the present chief clerk
in the cOmptrOller's department. is an as
pirant for the comptrollership He first
went into the Office in 1870, when Bledsoe
was at its head. Bledsoe appointed him
to a clerkship, notwithstanding the differ
ence in their political faith, because he
was personally acquainted with McCalfs
thorough qualifications as an accountant,
and knew him to be thoroughly honest,
sober and Industrious. Shortly after
ward Mr.. Mccall was promoted to be war
rant clerk, position of great trust in the
office, and one which he filled ably and
conscientiOusly under the succeeding ad
ministrations of Darden and Brown. The
records of the Office will show to-day,
that Mccall while filling this place during
the corrupt days of reconstruction by his
courage and honest methods saved thou
sands of dollars to the tax payers of the
state. They will show that during those
squally times Mccall set his face squarely
against any species of extravaganza or
jobbery in dealing with the public moneys,
and in numberless instances refused to
issue warrants upon accounts which showed
excessive charges, and upon fraudulent
vouchers issued by the Twelfth legisla-
ture, although approved by the lieutenant
governor, and backed by those high in
authority. When Col. Swain was elected
as the head of the department, Mr.. Mccall
was again promoted, being selected by
his chief to fill the most important place
in the Office - that of chief clerk. This
position he has filled as he did every
other to which he was assigned, with the
highest credit to himself, and to the com
plete satisfaction of his chief and the
public.
Comanche Chief.
John ID. Mccall is certainly the best
qualihed man in Texas for comptroller,
and if true merit will win, the old chief
clerk will go to the top; but it Is feared
by some that he will be traded off by the
politicians and ring-masters, because he
is without much political prestige. Let
the people defeat this scheme by endors-
ing Mccall in the primaries.
They certainly did this in the Travis
county convention, last Saturday, by
unanimously instructipg for John D. Nc
Call. He will win.

THE MARKETS.
FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL

AUSTIN, June 22-The opening of the magniil-
cent iron bridge tcross The Colorado to free travel
an event that was celebrated by large popular
demonstration since our last weekly issue-opens
up new era for the traffic south of the river and
tributary to Austin. The advantage OF raising
this hitherto standing embargo on trade, as well
as travel already begins to be apparent. Although
the cotton season has long been over, and WOOL
nearly so, and whilst We are well into what Is
called the dull season, still, it is gratifying to re-
port that never perhaps, has the local or city trade
been more satisfactory in the height of midsum-
mer. Especially in the line of hardware and
building material is there a noticeable activity,
compared to other years, caused by the large
amount of building and architecture now going on
within the city limits.
There has been no great or important change

thought / would write You a few lines
rom this part of the country to inform
| the readers of your valuable paper of
one of the most destructive hail storms
that ever fell in This part of the country.
1t tore the roofs of our houses to pieces.
l counted 20 halls in my barn. My house
being covered with cap boards, saved it
to some extent, but the rain beat through.
My neighbors suffer, ID more than did,
their houses being cove ed with shingles
Mr.. Browns house has 40 holes through IT.
Some of them you could pixie your hand
through.
Stock suffered badly here. saw some
hogs that were killed. Mr.. Allen, sheep
man, that stopped his flock on the south
side of my farm last week, had several
head killed, some with their legs broken,
and crippled in every manner that you
could imagine.
The crops are damaged great deal in
this part of the country. The corn crop
is damaged badly.
Cotton was not damaged as bad as was
thought at first, but suffered to some eI- j
tent. The old settlers say they never saw
such hail in their lives. Some say the
hail would way from ten to twelve pounds.
L think those that saw those ten or
twelve Founders must have been under the :
bed, for stood in the door all the time,
and don't think saw any one that would
have weighed over four or Eve pounds.
think it must have been heavier north
of here. This is 20 miles east of George
town, on the San Gabriel river.
The farmers are disheartened on ao-'
count of the grasshoppers and hail. The
people were in good spirits till the han
came.
The people are for Swain for governor,
and Terrell for United States SENATOR
am a subscriber to your paper and am
glad to see it every week.
