WEDNESDAY. MARCH. 10, 1899.

PANHANDLE reports show very graf
flying conditions of crops and cattle.
Reports from the gulf sections and
some regions along the Rio Grande
are not so favorable. The coast
ranges have had too much and some
of the Rio country too little rain.
Take Texas as a whole, however, and
the outlook is most promising for a
cattle and corn crop. The cattlemen
are quite cheerful and return to the
old hOpefulness would tell volumes
for the state.

Postmaster Hill Cot $4,000.

In the telegram from New Orleans,
which was published in the States
man on the morning of December 10,
and which gave the account of the
grand mammoth drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery, it was an
nounced that Manor, Tex, had fallen
heir to portion of the 100000 prize.
Such was indeed the case, and the
lucky holder of one-fortieth part of
the ticket was Postma ster John E.
Hill, and no more deserving man
could have received it. Mr.. Hill is
personally friend to every citizen of
Manor, his pleasant manners and
genial courtesy to all, whether in
business dealings or social inter-
course, having made him a general
favorite.
He has been a resident of Manor
about three years, having come from
Tennessee, he having several rela-
tives living in Manor.
Although a staunch democrat (his
father having been killed while serv-
ing in the confederate army, Mr.. Hill
has the unanimous endorsement of
the citizens of Manor for re-appoint-
ment.
With part of the money he drew
last month he has bought a farm of
400 acres for $4,000. The ticket he
held was collected through the State
National bank of this city, from
whom it was learned that the money
was received promptly by them and
promptly delivered to Mr.. Hill.
1t might be added that the news
paper luck" is now broken. Mr.
Hill is the collecting agent for the
Statesman at Manor, and newspaper
men everywhere may now expect to
win the capital prize.-Austin TEX }
