THE tide turns from California to
Texas, as saith the Bosque Citizen:
Colonel Russell of Los Angeles,
Cal, is in the city looking out for a
location for about fifteen or twenty
families now in the vicinity of Los
Angeles who desire to come to Texas.
Mr.. Russell says the grape and orange
crops are total failure in California
this year. The whole face of the
earth in that state is blighted so far
as these industries are concerned,
and an exodus will be the result.
The people are looking Texas-ward
and as many as can secure transport
tation will leave California and thou
sands will come to Texas. He wants
a body OF land embracing about 5000
acres. He says the California boom
was the worst thing for that state
that ever happened except the failure
of the orange and grape crops. A
great many houses are vacant all
over the state and every day adds
to the number"
Col. Russell is cordially invited to
turn his attention this way. He will
find this region the best grape and
fruit section of the state, and no one
occupying the ground.

Island, where they we're to dedicate q

went from here to Cambridge and from
there rs miles drive was necessary TO
complete the journey. They hired

horses were bulky and when helt of

concluded to stop in "youug pond, +"
which had been formed in the road by
the recent heavy rains. The ministers
were then compelled to get out and load
the horses.
As the sun was setting they entered a
dense and swRmpy forest. In this dismal
place the horses concluded to lie down in
the water. FlogginR was OF no avail and
after an hour or more of persuasion
another team approached hut it could
not pass on account OF the narrow road.
The Rev. Sypherd and man named
Donoho, who was accompanying them,
then alighted and started to walk. In a
short tins the rscaleitrent horses made a
break aud started off en- run with tie

defiance through the forest is five miles
and vixen its end was reached day was

through the Rsv. Sypherd especially so
on account OF his having walked through
the entire bog. When the journey was
finally completed the dedication had to
be postponed owing to the rain.

An Investigation showed that the furni-

blaze with difficulty was extinguished,
when the family discovered lying unoou-

servant named Bessie Grieves, with her
throat out, while by her eide was cup
OF poison.
Physicians rallied the girl sufficiently
for her to confess that she had started
the fire. She came from Richmond, Va. +,
two years ago, was of light complexion
and quite pretty. The prejudice against
her race not existing here, she soon had
white lover, who intended to wed hsr

the girl fired the house and put an end to
