taste OF summer, and the farmers have been
pushing their plows with might and main
II IL said that the ground has not been In
such good shape for several years past.

Major Cook, whose illness mentioned In
a previous letter, passed from our midst on
Thursday 26,h inst Mr.. Cook had been
In this locality but Phort time, previous to
which he had been In partnership with A.
l.. Teagarden, of Austin. He was buried
with Masonic honors.
| On Friday and Saturday the road hands
were out aud did some good work on tho d..
s. gully. II IL remarkable what an amount
Of labor and money has been put In that
hole, and il Is still bad place on the road.
1t Is very good example of the fruitless-
ness OF the expenditure Of labor and money,
not properly directed.
With the money and one-tenth, yes one
twentieth the labor expended on the cross
ing in the last few years, q first class trussel
work bridge could have been thrown from
one bank to the other which would have
given q plane instead of hill to pull over.
There was very lively entertainment

The heel-fies ran the cattle about on

some weather wise sage can prognosticate
from this whether the spring will be late
or not.
