HazeltOn Happenings.

We have concluded to be mercifuI
this time and make our letter short: in
fact there are but few items to send in.
One of the most gratifying items is the
two days rain. The farmers had begun
to let their lower lips hang down and
occasionally swear in mild way, but
that is one of the things of the past now:
they all wear smile as broad as their
face will allow. 1t is reported that
Mrs. Leonard Klink is a fit subject for
the insane asylum. Constable Poe
and j. F. Kersey started after thief
last week. They didn't deem it neces
sary to take warrant, as they out
numbered the thief two to one. After
an absence of two days they returned
without the thief or the stolen goods.
They report the man as being a red
headed man carrying Winchester and
full OF fight. Next time they will take
warrant. &c. II. Mundorff got back
from conference, but we can't see that
the trip has done him any good; still he
may be ready to reform and not show it
for few days. Jim Tracy has moved
on the farm northwest of town owned
by Sheriff Stevens. Jim is good work
er and will make crop If anyone does.

wisely concluded to hire hands to bind

rutherford B. Hays, once the acting
president of the United States. in re-
cent letter to the projectors of the ma
tlonal confederate soldiers home. at
Austin, Texas, enclosing a contribn-
ton, took occasion to say these kind
words: The sacred obligation to the
union soldiers must not, will not be for
gotten nor neglected, especially by
those who have shared in the fullest
measure the prosperity which has come
from the services and sacrifices of those
who stood by the government when it
was imperiled. But those who fought
against the nation can not and do not
look to it for relief. Their disabled and
destitute comrades are left to the gene
roslty and benefaction of their more
fortunate fellow citizens, who wisely
forecast the inspiring future of cur
country. Confederate soldiers and
their descendants are to share with us
and our descendants the DESTINY of
America. Whatever, therefore, we.
their fellow citizens. can do to remove
burdens from their shoulders and brigh-
ten their lives is surely in the pathway
OF both humanity and patriotism. With
my contribution to the enterprise | beg
you to accept also my best wishes for

DEEP WATER ON THE TEXAS
COAST

THE prospect for something of a
practical sort being done in the matter
Oh the deep water harbOr on the Texas
coast OF the gulf is very encouraging TO
The friends of that movement The
committee of engineers to make SURVEYS
and report have been named by the gen
eral OF the army, and will enter upon
the work assigned them in a short time.
III is hoped the matter will be in shape
for congress when it meets in Decem-
Der to take steps toward carrying it into
! operation, that IS to provide for the be-
| ginning OF work early next year"
The above is taken from the Wichita
Eagle OF the 2lst. From a gentleman.
not long since from the Texas coast,
| and who keeps well posted, we learn
that a company has been formed and
has bought several hundred thousand
acres of land along the Brazos river,
near the mouth. That said company
procured the passage of law, during
the last session of congress, ceding said
river and its approaches to them, for
deep water purposes, reserving the right
to purchase the works the company may
erect at anytime, at their actual value.
That said company now have 500 men
actually at work at the mouth of the
Brazos river at this time, and are now
erecting an electric plant, which when
completed will be used to light up the
place Of operations, when another l 800
hands will be placed on the works, to
run them day and night. The object of
ic RI . =
feet Of water at the mouth of the river
by the next meeting of congress. If
this work is accomplished, as now
seems certain, there will be no more ap-
preparations by congress on the Texas
coast. The engineer in charge is the
same man that OBLIGATED in the same
capacity at the mouth of the Mississippi
for Col. Eads. The company has all
the necessary means and there can be
no doubt of it's ultimate success.
The BrazOs river enters the Gulf of
Mexico about 80 miles west of Calves
ton. The country is dry and healthy,
and is a most excellent place for gulf
city and land-lOcked sea port. The
Santa Fe crosses the Brazos river at
Richmond, Fort Bend county, 60 miles
this side of Galveston and about SIS
miles from the mouth of the river, and
the cost of extending the road to that
point is comparatively cheap, besides it
would pay In local traffic, as it would
pass through the best sugar and cotton
district of Texas. The International
road now terminates at Columbia, only
30 miles distant from the mouth of said
river.
The opening of the Brazos river will
be big boom for Kansas and save
many millions in money to the general
government. Then we say, ION to the
mouth of the BraZos."
