raining during the week in different parts
of the county, and crop prospects gene
rally are very good.
Revs. Burnett and Mulkey have been
conducting protracted meeting here for
week with great success. The mourners'
bench is crowded at every service, and
conversions are numerous, and the inter
est increases daily.
The political campaign grows interest
ing. Some of the candidates are still try
ing to ride into Office on the backs of the
late strikers, and strange to say they have
large following among the farmers.
They pretend to be sailing under the flag
of Labor" and the poor farmers have not
yet learned that it is piratical crew un-
der false colors.
Hon. G. J. Garrison and wife, and Mrs.
A. w. Buckner and G. II. Gould will at
tend the commencement exercises of the
university at Austin the coming week.
Mrs. E. A. Rhea is visiting friends in
Travis county.
Overton will give grand barbecue to
the candidates on the Sd of July.
A local option election at New Salem, in
this county, last week, resulted in favor OF
liquor by majority of seven.
The county court has been in session
the past week, and considerable business

seems TO have gone abroad in the state and eastern
cities that the gale was far more disastrous and
serious than it really was. The entire damage will
scarcely exceed 5 ,0O0 at the outside, as the two
Saloons which were swept away, were very cheap
stfuck,ures in keeping with the business they did.
The gate VI one time exceeded fifty miles an hour,
according to the signal service Instruments though
sixty miles per hour. There are large
number of buildings in the course of
erection along the burnt district, including two
churches, one of which has nigh steepe going
