THE few people of this burg who
had not heard that sheet and pillow
case party was organized to capture
the Luna House last Monday night,
no doub BIT thought a big band OF
ghosts from above had come down to
take the town, when the army of
snow-white figures marched with
ghostly and solemn and measured
tread from Mr.. and Mrs. Jess Brad
ford's residence to the Luna House.
The party was gotten up for sur
prise, and was grand success. Mr..
and Mrs. Luna gave the ghosts
cordial welcome, cleared the dining
room and dancing began. After
dancing about an hour the DISCUSSES
were thrown off. The dance was
kept up till three o'clock in the MORN
ing, and the enjoyment of the oc-
casion was immense. Mr.. and Mrs,
.Luney treated the white-robed sur,
prisers right royalty, and took pleas
ure in making the party thoroughly
enjoyable for all. Nearly every danc-
er in town was there, and several
who have not tripped the light fantas-
tic for years, for the reason that they
considered themselves too we'll up in
years for such amusement, joined in,
and were just as young as they used
to be-" when we consider the incli-
nation to wade into jolly enjoyment
as the test of youthfulness. If not
youthful in years they were in spirit.
No occasion that we can recall was
ever more thoroughly enjoyed in
this village.

could all day. only ha'timg for uhrur at
midday for rest and food. In the evening
they arrived at a small village. having rid
den more than thirty miles and accomplish
ell half their journey. As they rode along,
Eaton inquired Of the people they M and
at the haZaarS through which they passed
whether any one had seen the jCmadar BuN
Khan was man of too striking appearance
to escape notice: and In answer to the En-
gliShman's inquiries, many persons stated
that they had seen a very tall Afghan carry
ing gun, walking rapidly In the direction
of Jehanabad, the previous afternoon.
Having passed the night in native cara
vansera in the village. Captain Eaton very
early next morning resumed his journey. He
continued TO inquire every now and then of
the paSSerSby whether they had met the
jemadar: and il soon became evident from
their replies TO the question Us to when they
had seen him, TINT Inc had walked straight on
without stopping 10 rest or 10 eat or drink.
As they neared Jehanabad Elt0n's heart
sank within him, for he knew that the jenna
dar must have got there during the previous
evening. and what had happened during the
past eighteen hours he ShuuItlrred Ia think.
So anxious was hr that he would not stop to
rest at midday, but pushed on and rode
ahead of the elephants. 1t WAS early in the
afternoon when he got 10 Jchanabad, and
riding through the town, mrde his way to
the mango tupe where BuX Khan had buried
his child. He soon came in sight of it, 1t

When he came in sight of the saints tomb,
however, his heart stood still, for nnmber

drew rein and rode slowly up TO and round
the tomb. His worst fears were realized:
for there, acrOss the grave of his child, his
empty gun by his side, lay BuX Khan dead.

built on the composite or Queen Anne,
and for style and size and beauty would
do Justice to a town Of ten thousand
inhabitants.
A great many people are here living
in tents, and would like to commence
building operations, but are prevented
from so doing, as the engineers have not
yet arrived to lay out the town in blocks
and lots.
There are here now, in tents, two
saloons, four boarding houses, one coffee
stand. two stage stands, one telegraph
office and one BARRIERS pole leaning up
against large mesquite tree, and the

tonsorial establishment being under the

This site for town is acknowledged
by every person to be a good one. having
natural drainage, and being surrounded
by rich land, suitable for farming pur-
poses, the soil being rich black sandy
loan, and it Is supposed that an album
dant supply of water can be had here at
a depth of from forty to eighty feet.
A we'll known gentleman from Helena,
Mr.. Z. Conway, has ordered machinery,
and is expecting it to arrive every day,
to commence operations in boring wells.
He seems confident of obtaining water
at an average depth Of fifty feet.
Seven miles from here and away from
the railroad, is the old town of Helena,
the county seat Of Karnes County, situ-
ated on the San Antonio river, and
about sixty-fve miles southeast from
San Antonio, and about sixty-five miles
north from the coast Of Arkansas bay.
The population Of the county may be
put down at 1900 people, 800 Of whom
are colored. Its county scrip is at par,
with a respectable surplus in the
treasury.
There is here an academy built OF
rock and beautifully situated on high
ground, overlooking the town.
1t is presided over by Professor Henry
Floyd, who is assisted by his wife,
very estimable lady. The school mum

has prevailed for several years after the
close of the public school term. The
scholarship averages high. and | find
classes in advanced mathematics, book

teachers.
The professor is Virginian, but
somewhat cosmopolitan, as he has spent
much of his life abroad, and his own
education was acquired at the UNIVERSE

kennedy LETTER.
Floresville's Steady Boomlet-Improve-
ment 80 Prohibition Discussed "A
Section FOR Immigrants and
Capital.

According to promise, furthe. refer
ence is made to FlOresyille as being a
town which has improved to some ex-
tent since the arrival of the railroad and
telegraph, but there was not that boom
or excitement which is usually expected
upon such occasions. The people seem
to adopt the "slow but sure" policy in
managing their affairs, and all seem con-
fident Of its future success; and well
they may, for they are surrounded by
rich farming and stock country, with
plenty of water, and the only thing nee
essary is for people who have some
means to move in and develop and open
up this section Of country.
Among the improvements going on at
present, and which deserves some notice,
is a very neat church (Methodist) at a
cost of 81 200, the contractor being Mr..
w. L. Brown. When completed, it will
be credit to the denomination and the
town In. general.
There are also other improvements
going on in the shape OF dwellings, etc.,
which are attended to by another well
known contractor, A. s. McCarty, and
who stands high In the community as
being skilled workman, and, who by
his close attention to business since his
arrival in this county, has gained the
confidence of the citizens in general.
There is here at this place very fine
courthouse which was erected by Colo
mel Sydney Mead, he being the cOntrac-
tor and Mr.. Alfred Giles the architect.
Prohibition, or local option, still reigns
suDreme in this comfy (WilsOnl and
while your correspondent does not wish
to criticize the good people OF Wilson
county in their way OF thinking On this
subject, we must confess that in our
opinion IL does and has interfered with
their prosperity because they are de-
prived OF the revenue which they should
have, and also OF the money which is
sent away TO other places TO purchase
the "needful," which finds its way in
here by the Jugful, and In some cases
good sized kegs and various other yes
sells, thus demonstrating that prohibi-
tion does not prohibit, and, unless the
law becomes State OF general one, 1t is
no doubt perfect madness or folly for
one or two counties to hold out and
adopt such measures and have adjoining
counties reap the benefit; therefore L
do not hesitate In saying, that, looking
~ 80
munity that undertakes this, there and
then signs its own death warrant.
While dealing with this question it
must certainly be admitted that the
town and county has derived some adj
vantages from local option; drunkenness
is very rarely met with; the citizens
quiet, peaceable and orderly; In fact, 1t
may with safety be said that FlOresville
is one of the most orderly places to be
met with in this or any other portion OF
the State.
