Bexar County's Crop.

In it's crop report for the current year
the Galveston News thus sizes up the
condition and prospects of Bexar
county:
"The condition of crops in Bexar
within the past seven years. Rains
have fallen without an intermissien of
more than two weeks since last Septem-
Der. Stock entered the winter in good
condition and on good grass, and fine
season was put in" by the heavy rains.
Planting was generally early, so that
now oats are made, the average in the
county being about 20 bushels to the
acre. Some farmers make upwards of
100. But little wheat was planted. Corn
is generally in silk and tassel, and is
made without another shower. This
cereal attains a most wonderful growth,
and the crop will be very heavy. There
has not been much cotton planted,
though the stand Is fine where culti-
waited. Much attention has been paid
to hay. Northwestern Bexar county
lawns are now being moved, producing
from Z to II ton per acre. This grass is
of the sage family and locally called
blue stem or cotton tail mesqnite. Fruit
and vegetables are abundant and cheap.
Considerable sorghum was sown for hay
purposes, and will now cut from three
to four tons per acre, and be ready for
another cutting before frost. The acre
age under first-olass cultivation In this
county will reach about 10000, about
one-eighth of which Is newly broken
land. The western portion Of the coun-
ty failed on crops last season, while now
there is vigOr and prolific growth every
where.

The little, old fashioned village on the
crescent shore that marks the water line on
tho southern end of Mackinac Island has
been the scene of more robbery, debauchery
and ruin worked upon the trusting, ignorant
and helpless reds of this upper lake land than
was ever known in any equal bit of territory
on the globe. a very old and squatty but
amply whitewashed building may yet be
seen there, in which one can buy rum or
play billiards, and which was the headquar-
ters of the Fur company. Ever since it was
built poison has been dealt out in ito the
Indians, rum for furs; to the Americans,
rum for cash. Visitors even now are bled
quite freely Rich furs were then bought by
the pound, and it is said that white men had
way of giving an Indian deep drink of
rum, and then persuading him that white
mans hand jist pound" Then white man
laid his hand ON one scale, and drunk Indian
piled beaver skins on the other until white
mans arm could hold down no more, and
that was pound, worth $3.50 Money was
of no use to the reds, and what they got in
its stead cost them fabulous prices. The In
dians went away poorer and poorer every
time they came.
Beside the traffic in furs, the island was the
place where for many years the Indians gath
cred annually to receive their money from
the United States for ceded lands. Here
many thousands of dollars were paid over to
the unprotected reds, who were $40 poorer
for every 81 paid them The crescentAeach
has been seen covered with Indian canoes,
and the old village crowded with men and
women drunk from day to day until their
money had all passed into the bands of white
traders, ' God save the mark and then they
would gradually get starved into the neces-
sity of going hack To he yrOofiS to hunt for a |

that they have been in the habit of abandon
