THE ROADS.
A Trip Of Eighteen Miles.

Deputy Constable j. II. Lockwood
is in the city this morning safe, after
trip up the river road a distance of
IS miles, distance he had gone to
serve civil process. 1t is creditable
to the pluck Of Mr.. Lockwood and a
compliment to the value of the noble
steed he owns that he is in the city at
all, as the road he came may safely be
classed as impossible. Mr.. Lockwood
started from point eighteen miles
below the city yesterday morning
early and, save for twenty minutes
stop for dinner and feed, travelled steadi-
ly all day long on fine. strong horse,
and reached the city only at nine
o'clock last night, and but for the
strength and endurance of his horse
would not have reached it at all. The
roads he describes as bad beyond con-
ception. In several places, and one
lane especially, a mile long, his horse
went up to the shoulders and got out
Of one or two places SO badly blown
that he was obliged to stop to recover.
He counted on the road six empty wag-
ons foundered in mud and abandoned,
and in another place hesays man was
driving a big six mule team to an emp
ty wagon and it seemed to be nip aud
tuck about his getting through. Mud
holes, seemingly bottomless, abound
all along the road, and in may places
for long stretches. A perfect blockade
exists, the roads being completely i'm
passable except on horseback, and even
on horseback being limited: to only
strong animals. The condition of the
river road is probably little worse than
the prairie road so that travel to and
from the city is temporarily closed. 1t
is, however, a qualification to know that
the unceasing down pour of rain
which is running the roads, is building
up the crops, so that the bad roads
are only temporary inconvenience
backed by great good.

"reminiscences.

Ten years ago to-day Waco was a
neat little village slumbering on the
verdant banks Of the calmly flowing
Brazos. The business part Of Austin
street reached to Sixth street, beyond
that for block was livery stable and
few shanties. The residenc, part Of
Austin reached to 18th with scattering
houses, and there it stopped short. Be-
youd that stretched out wilderness Of
rolling prairie and green fields, and all
west Of 18th was in cultivation. On
the hill where the most elegant resi-
dences of the city now are was an old
field with delapidated fence, and on
the cite where the residence of Mr.. J.
T. Davis and Judge Walker now stand,
was an old cabin, tel: by fifteen, with
the roof all caved in. All north and
west Of 18th was good hunting ground
where the boys shot at jack-rabbits and
quails. East Waco, with the exception
Of Paul Quinn College, was about as
it is at present, in some respects bet
ter, in some worse. Bells Hill lowered
up bleak and tenantless, and all about
the wooden mills vas field where i'm
mense crops of cotton were raised
yearly. There was only one railroad
and that tap running from the main
branch Of the Central at Bremond, and
stopping abruptly in East Waco. 1t
was small place, inclined to be wild
and wooley, more SO than now, and
nothing like the Waco of the present
day. But, and we say but with sad
ness, if it was little town it got there
with all four feet. The Waco Tap Of
the Central made it the entrepot for the
cotton crop of large scope Of country
that sought a market offered by the
one railroad. Cotton came for two
hundred miles from the west, and the
crop, some years, ran nearly to hun
dred thousand bales. Money flowed
in plenty, goods were high and big
profits reaped. The sturdy yeoman
dropped his shekels freely, there were
good many elephants to see and the
man who hadn't been to town for o
year wanted to see them all, and paid
well for the privilege. The town
was lively, SO were the people and
so was business. 1t did not do as
much business as now but it did three
times as much to the square foot. The
town was different color then from
now, the cowboy was not extinct then,
and frequently painted the town red
and 1t was ducats in the pockets
Of the town. Everything that was
eaten except corn bread was brought
from abroad, but the town could afford
it then, for it was popular prejudice
that vegetables and wheat wouldn't
grow here, and it was cheaper to raise
cotton and buy pork. The only legiti
mate theatre was in a little dingy
building, but people filled it chuck full
and laughed heartily at the comedies
and were not as hypercritical al
at present. Waco had bonanzs
then in its one railroad and it was Z
bonanza that lasted good many years
There'is no moral to this retrospection
1t may revive some "reminiscences,
|, among those who were l;ring il
Waco then, and are living In it nov
and it will not disturb those who hav,
since then passed into the peace O.
the cemeteries.
