.UVTE GVJTVRE.

A neat little pamphlet published by the
Weatheriord Native Jute Rope Mspufac-
turing Company Of Parker county, comes
TO The GAZETTE Office as 8 welcome
aarbinger-of one Of the most important
industries ever started in Texas, and one
that can be engaged in by our people
with but little expense. The fact that
Texas possesses unlimited quantities of
soil suitable for the cultivation of this
plant has been demonstrated practically
by successful experiments made at var
ious times, and the perfection Of the
jute decorticstor facilitates its saving and
conversion into marketable rope and
cordage at q cost which renders compe-
tition hopeless. The company referred
to have entered largely into the manu-
facture of this class of goods and is offer
Ing liberal inducements to those who de-
sire to engage in jute raising by furnish
ing not only the machinery necessary, but
a market for the raw material as well.
The Irvine that is used in Texas in the
harvest fields, in stores and mercantile
houses; the rope and cordage
used annually in this state
alone amounts to such con-
siderable sum that manufacturing
them at home instead OF sending the pur-
chase money elsewhere is s step in the
onward march of Texas progress by no
means contemplate. The company will
furnish these pamphlets, giving full and
thorough instructions concerning jute cul-
ture, to those applying, and to the farm
ers OF Parker county it proposes to fur
nish seed and machinery free of cost, an
offer that will doubtless be accepted by
many. In a short time Texas will not
only furnish her own peoplelthis commod-
ity, but will be prepared to extend her
trade and furnish the trade elsewhere,
while in many sections Of the state the
one crop idea will be exploded and the
long reign of King Cotton will be brought
to an end.

AFRICAN COTTON.

Germany has long been known SIS great
in arms, in arts, and in craftsmanship,
and she is developing commercial Bis
marcks who will soon be recognized IS
the leading spirits of the business world.
English gunoosts following English mis-
sionaries opened up trade that extended
over the world and made Great Britain
ruler OF the seas and of most of the land
German pluck and push Of late years has
been making itself felt. Germans have
almost driven the English out of Mexico,
out of the South American countries, out
of the Bahamas, and in fact out Of almost
every country where they had an equal
chance in the struggle for trade. The
Samoan episode shows what vigorous
and singularly bold people the Germans
are becoming, and with what vim and
persistence they work for supremacy.
They never tire, never lsg, never surren-
der in their efforts to build up trade with
foreign nation or crowd out 8
rivsl The latest evidence of German
enterprise is shown by the project Of
raising cotton on the east coast Africa.
Texas furnishes the seed and the planter
to superintepd the cultivation Of the new
crop and in few years the cotton crop
of East Africa OF German Africa Will be
in the markets of the world Offering itself
in competition to other staples. Not
only will Germany engage extensively in
cotton raising in Africa where the lands
re admirably adapted to the purpose, but
she will send out her surplus population
TO colonizs and claim this new territory
and make Of it q powerful auxiliary to the
Fathetlsnd. Unless crippled by war
with Russia, Germany will soon occupy
the place In the commercial world that
has been claimed by England so long.

1t Disappears by the CarIoadI-A Whole
Town Implicated.
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, Jan. 26.-An ex-
tensive and systematic coal steal has
been discovered at Bainbridge, Ross
county, Ohio, small town on the Ohio
Southern Railroad. A carload of coal
would at times disappear in a single
night, and the peculstions became 80 ex-
tensiVe that the railroad company en-
ployed detectives to unesrth the thieves,
The result mas been the arrest of
fifteen prominent citizens of cambridge
including the msrshsI, hotel proprietor
and Presbyterian preacher. The detec-
tives say that half the citizens of the
town are implicated in the steal. The
pecu.stions amount to many hundreds of
dollars and the extent Of them may be
imagined when it is known that although
the coal is universally used in cambridge,
not single carload has been billed to
resident Of that place this winter.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 26.-J. Peter
Smith, ex-mayor of Fort Worth, the most
active and persistent boomer that boom
ing town has ever KNOWN millionaire
who knows how to spend his money free
ly, public benefactor in the way of Civ
ing employment to labor, and an absolute
steam incubator in the matter of Matching
new enterprises-is IN San Antonio, talk
ing OF the immigration movement, what
its inception WAS, Whist it's present status
and what its probable outcome will be
He is member of the State Central I'm
migration Committee, which has its head
quarters at Austin, and Is chockfull of his
subject.
"You know how the thing csme about, "
he said to-day. SIT had It's rise mainly in
our vacant lands and in the damaging
drouth reports which had gone abroad
against US. think, though, that Cali-
fornia might be called the spur which
pricked US into motion. We know we
had the best country and the cheapest
country, and 1t sort Of riled US to see car
load after carload of settlers going
through our territory bound for the Pa
and done so much better. That set US to
thinking. We knew that II we kept quiet
much longer the age would pass to the
next man, and the Dallas convention was
the result. The present-to- day's-boom
is the result OF that meeting.
ave have every reason to be gratified
with our progress so far. We have sue
ceeded in obtaining the most valuable CO.
operation from the railroads. Excursion
travel is already very heavy. We have
extensively advertised and will keep il
up, and people, good people, are bound
to come; 1883, in money, men and manu-
features, will be the biggest year Texas
ever saw.
"There has been great change in the
state already, and We will make greater
one. Even now it is universal remark
among excursionists that they never be-
held people with more or better land to
sell and more anxious to sell it.
"Things with the Central Committee
are working very smoothly and swiftly
Every member of il is making every
pound Of him tell, and tell in the right
place."
On the subject of deep water on the
Texas coast Mr.. Smith stands by the ex-
pressed sentiment of the Dallas conven-
ton, viz that all money appropriated by
Congress Should be conferred upon some
one point where deep water could be
most easily secured, and which would
prove most available to the state. He de-
clined to officially commit himself in
favor of any one locality, but personally
he favors the mouth of the Brazos river,
which he thinks is more central AMI
could be improved at less cost.

Dear Mr.. -:
"I was glad TO receive yours of the

dent who moves with great deliberation,
listens to everybody and does as he
plesses. His principal nominations so
far have surprised the Democrats as

force OF the country. He has no imagin-

not be sensational or startling, but il be

self possessed and confident and exhibits
no timidIty. Good humor prevails
though there is much inaudible grumb-
ling among the Democrats at the delay in
turning the rascals out, but if Cleveland
can stand the racket for the next twelve

The Venerable Swain Immediately Mar
ries Another Woman, and il Whipped by
Rissons.
AMERICUs, GA, Jan. 19.-George Hsr-
ris, aged seventy, was granted a divorce
at the present session of the Superior
court from his wife, to whom he had been
married forty years, but with whom
he has not lived for the past
four years. She is nearly as old as
he and large family of children were
the fruits of their union, all of whom
still reside in Sumter county. On the
same day that the divorce was granted
Mr.. Harris went to Macon, and was there
married to lady of that city. Rumor
hiss it that two of his grown sons by his
former marriage were so incensed with the
old man that they set upon and beat him
terribly. There WAS never a breach of
any kind between the divorced parties,
they merely agreeing to separate at the
time which they did, and each going to
live among their children. The aged
groom and his blushing bride, it is said,
have left for Texas, where they will re-
side in the future, while discarded Mrs.
Harris is living comfortably in the home
of one of her grown sons near this city.
