THE FARMERS wooING.

TIE dsisas nodded in the grass, the buttercups
were sleeping,
And just The river Gang the farmers ct their
re6ping;
Upon the hills so high and far, the maple leaves
we're showing
Their soft white beauties in the breeze that from
the sea was blowing,
y lit lie maid came through the land with song and
ripping laughter;
The buttercaps made way for her, the daisies
nodded after.
strong young farmer saw her pause beside the
parting river:
She threw lily from Its depth with golden heart
aquiver.
Thou art more fair than lilies are, said he with
head uplifted,
And threw a poppy as the stream toward the
maiden drilted
She set the flowers in her hOir-the T d and white
together;
A cloud grew black before the sun, and rainy was
the weather.
He came across the river, then, this farmer, from
his moving;
He minded not the waters depth, he cared not for
its flowing
ooh love!" said he, 'if cleaning sun and cloud
less ekies O'erlean Ls,
The givrr's barring width may roll unpassed,
untried between u5,
But when loud thunder fills the air, and clouds and
rain coma ever,
Id cross the ocean to your side-I am no fairday
lCver!"
And so one noon the village bells rang out across
the river,
Their music set the butte cups and daisies all a
CULVER,
While some one drew lily from the stream 80
blightly flowing,
And plucked blood-red poppy that amid the
wheat was growing;
The maiden sc them in her hair-ths red and white
together
With many smile, tear or two, and glances at
the weather
they passed teneAth the chapel's ehade-the
farmer and the nader
Where arches crossed above their heads, with
snowy DlOss ms laden,
And in that place Of holy calm the binding words
were spoken;
He in his heart bore out the truth, che on her hand
the token
The years went by, and some were bri hit and some
were clOudel over,
But EVER stood he at her side-he was no fairday
lover.

Another Artesian w ell.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, July 3O.-At the depth of
747 feet Mr.. Seigel, who has the contract
for sinking the artesian wells to supply
the new city water works, penetrated the
deepest wster-bearing strata of sand yet
found on the island. The depth of the
strata is fifty five feet and the flow of
water is fully as strong as that secured
from any of the wells before
developed. Boring was at once
suspended, and preparations are now in
progress to put down ten-inch strainer.
1t is thought when this is done and the
well thoroughly cleaned out, it will yield
from 100000 to 100000 gallons per diem.
This is the first we'll of series of ten
that Contractor Siegle is sinking. The
second has reached depth of 500 feet,
and is progressing favorably. His con-
tract calls for flow of 100000 gallons
daily, and for which he is to receive $780,
600 if he is successful.

HenrH Georgeism in Texas.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Houston, July 31.-The single tax men,
or Henry Georgeites, of the state held a
secret conference here to-day, at which a
goodly number from alT sections were
present The day was devoted TO dis
cussion of the best means to be employed
for urging upon the legislature the
adoption of an amendment to the con-
stitntion for the assessment of a tax on
land values only, but, if any conclu-
sion was reached, what it was
could not be learned. The
George men of this section have been
quite active for several months circu-
lating petitions for signatures praying
the legislature to adopt the proposed
amendment, and they have met with such
encouragement as to lead them to hope
their wishes will be acceded to. Speeches
we're made tonight by leading adherents
of the George doctrine, expounding the
system which were listened to by large
audience

JOHN MORGAN'S SLAYER.
Old Robert Fry Tells How He
Killed the Raider.
From the Plttsburg Commercial.

From the PIttsburg Commercial.
Ga the banks of the Licking river,
just south of the outskir of Newport,
in a little red shanty-ooat, live Robert
Frye and his wife. For more than two
years they have dwelt in this river home
in the most squalid poverty. Their only
companion is little black pup with four
white feet. They manage TO subsist upon
table scraps gathered during the day by
Mrs. Fry. The latter is horrible looking
creature, with short, shaggy black hair,
which hangs in masses around her
neck and shoulders. Little black eyes,
set far back in her head, and a sharp,
protruding chin and toothless mouth, give
her the appearance of one of the
witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth"
Nine months out of the twelve she runs
barefooted, ard she is never without q
pipe in her month. In personal appear
ance the man is much more attractive
than his wife. His hair is white as snow
and stands in disheYelled mass all over
his head, ears and neck. 1t is kept back
from his ears by red bandana kerchief.
Under his chin and around his neck is a
heavy muller of coarse, white hair.
And this man is none other than the
slayer of Gen. John A. Morgan, the great
confederate cavalryman. At GreenVille,
Tenn, On the 4th of September, 1864, he
fired the shot that ended the career of the
famous rebel guerilla-the man who, on
mis- northern raid, terrorized the residents
of Southern Ohio and Indiana. The story
of Morgan's death is best told in old m an
Fry's own words:
II was worth almost $4,000 when the
war broke out" he said. Born and raise
in the north my heart was with the union,
and Joined Captain Fiegle's company of
sharpshooters. We were camped fifteen
miles from Greenville, when one night
shortly after II O'Clock a young lady,
mounted on thoroughbred horse, dashed
into camp and revealed to US the hiding
place of General John Morgan. She said
that he Yves at the mansion of
Mrs. Williams, where he was being
entertained in royal style. The young
lady turned out to be Mrs. Williams
aughter-in-law. She was a staunch
union woman. She volunteered TO lead
Us to the place, and lead US she did. A
company of picked men was made up and
it was still dark when we left for Green
Vile. Arriving In sight OF the house
where Morgan was stopping, the young
lady pointed it out TO us and then for
safety's sake she started back to our
camp, for she knew she never would be
received at the Williams house again. We
surrounded the Williams mansion. Nor
gan go5 word that we had discovered
his whereabouts and endeavored to
make his escape through little garden in
the rear of the premises. That's a
woman, said the lieutenant, don't shoot
Damn the woman said I, and I raised
my Iihe and banged away. The object
fell dead, ard when We got up close to it
we found it to be General Morgan. He
was in his shirt sleeves. My bullet had
passed through his heart. One of the men
picked up the body, tossed it across his
saddle and carried it to our camp. 1t
was afterwards turned over to the con-
federates."

AUSTIN. July 81
Although the first of August has come along,
with the near approach of the opening of the tA!l
trade, the general business situation continues
dull. The more so as the continuance of the dry
weather and recent re orts from cotton farms are
creating rather an unpleasant feeling. There have
been some variations in prices since our last
weekly report, which will be found noted in the
prices current bsOw.
