Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate
SrocKsDALE, WILSON COUNTY,
January Bird, 1886.

STocKsDALE, WILSON COUNTY, |
January 3rd, 1886. !
MEssRs. EDITORS AND READERS Myself
and engineer of the culinary department
(wife) have Just returned from ten-day hoh-
day visit among friends and relatives in Dewitt
and Goliad counties, and the big dinners we
confronted would doubtless have extracted q
smile of approval from the most exacting ep-
icure. Fine time, indeed, for one possessing
an abnormally developed bump of alimentive-
ness, like your humble servant. AT Cuero
we found our genial brother and his partner
driving a good business, manufacturing tomb
stones and monuments. General prosperity
seems to pervade that bustling little town.
We have heard of no Christmas rows, as is
often the case when bad whiskey is blended
with ditto disposition.
While Mr.. Peter Barnes was manipulating
the lock of balky revolver it fired prema-
turelv, inficting a severe flesh wound in the
left hand. ! wonder that so few accidents
occur in the same way, to wit. grasping
around the muzzle of a pistol with the left
hand, while the weapon is cooked with the
right. Boys, don't do that. Never move q
loaded gun in any direction with the muzzle
pointing toward you, Never face firearm'
loaded or empty, when it can be avoided.
Never point firearm at any one, only in de-
fence of life. If the government insists on
your discarding these instructions, hire sub
stitute. Reader, it is not the writer whose
hand is lacerated with the accidental bullet,
as the nGme seems to indicate.
An unusually great number of accidents
have occurred at gins the past season. Our
own digits are unframed, and we gin an oc-
casional bale of cotton. The crop was very
large and prices low.
The San Antonio and Arkansas pass railroad
is now completed, to our county seat, and we
natives feel quite sensibly the soothing inau-
ence of progressive civilization,
The sagacity of our community is doubtless
rendered obtuse by the cotton mania, hut We
are not so oblivious to self interest as to ne
elect entirely internal improvements. We
have genuine skating rink, and may petition
Congress for an electric light.
Our school is temporarily closed on account
of measles. They are as thick as saloons in
San Antonio. Two cases-of measles, not
saloons-resulted fatally.
Weather fine. Temperature at this hour,
10 o'clock p. M, 360.
Happy New Year to all.
