WEBBERvILLE, February 12.-The farms
that have been for several months almost
deserted are now alive with every pillow
and hand that can be started preparing
for another crop. The farmers are at
least two months behind last year this
time. The land is in a fine fix for plows
to work to an advantage, and not a leaf is
being left unturned,
Sunday night last our church was we'll
filled, which is not often, the special at
traction being the marriage of Miss Annie
E. Brown to Robt. l.. Wood. The cere-
mony was conducted by DR.. E. W. Hole
man in his usual grand and pathetic style.
Collections are being taken up to build
a $500 parsonage for the Methodist min
lister of this place. If sufficient funds be
raised it is thought the house will be
completed by May 1, next.
The roads are again getting passable
for horsebackers. Nearly all buggies and
wagons are still in winter quarters.

BURNET, February 12.-Cards are out
for the marriage of Miss Ida Barber,
daughter of Col. S. Barber, of Gonzales,
to Mr.. U. Collins, book-keeper for the
Marb lie Falls Tanning and Manufacturing
company. The wedding will take place
Thursday of this week at the residence
of Capt. B. Badger, at Marble Falls'
the prospective bride being sister of Mrs.
Badger.
Railroad Agent Hamil states that the
business at this point is holding up better
than it has done so late in the season for
the past five years. The freight bills run
up to an average of 5000 per day and the
passenger traffic is good, composed
largely of commercial men.

KANsAs CITY. February 12-The Live Ste
Affairs at Rockdale

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
RocKDALE, February, 12.-Your repor-
ter visited Cameron, county seat of Milan
county, to-day. The town is on "boom,"
property changing hands daily, and new
business and residence houses are going
up.
Judge Ed. Antony passed through Rock
dale yesterday en- route from the Capital
city. The Judge says he is decidedly of
the opinion that Willie (') county is "a
goner."
Your correspondent at this place
learned while at Cameron to-day that
although the people of that place and sec
ton are resting easy on the Willie county
question, they will this week ask the
county commissioners court, which con-
vened to-day, to authorize County Sur
yeyor Robinson to run lire from the
court house to the nearest point of the
proposed new county of Willie. This will
be done, the result certified to by the
proper officials and the matter placed on
record. County Surveyor Robinson says
that he has made an off-hand survey of
the distance, from the more correct map,
and that to allow full length the distance
will not be over eleven and a quarter
miles, but of course the actual survey is
yet TO be made. The map of Willie
county seems to place Cameron one and a
half miles from where the town really
"lines."
Gen. Web Flanagan and Capt. W. F.
Crawford, the former from Henderson
and the latter from Cameron, passed
through town late Friday bound for Aus
tin. It is presumed that the gentlemen
knew what they "were going for"
Rockdale can be justly called city, be-
cause we have two wholesale dry goods
and grocery houses.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
DEATH OF COLONEL HUNT.

WASHINGTON, February 11.-Colonel
Henry j. Hunt (retired), governor of the
Soldiers home in the District of Columbia
died at 1920 o'clock this morning
THE COTTON CROP.
WASHINGTON, February 11.-Cotton re-
turns of the department of agriculture
make the average close of packing six
days later than last year on account of
later maturity and frequent rains. In
many counties in the south the crop has
been fully harvested. A careful oomputa-
ton OF returns makes the proportions
marketed S4.3 per cent, the averages of
states being as follows: Virginia, SO;
North Carolina, "a; South Carolina, 81;
Georgia, Sc; Florida, 81; Alabama, So;
Mississippi, 80; Louisiana, SO; Texas, So;
Arkansas, "a; Tennessee, SO. The staple
is shorter than last year and there is more
discolored and nasty fibre. The caterpil
lars and boil worms have been widely dis
tributed, but their destruction has been
greatly limited by insecticide. Seed has
been sold at ~ to 16 cents per bushel near
the lines of railroads, mostly by tenants,
proprietors finding it more valuable for
feeding and fertilizipg purposes.
THE CHEROKEE STRIP.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE senate
committee on territories had the Okla
homa territory bill under consideration to-
day. Chiefs Bushy Head and Harris, of
the Cherokee Nation, have protested
against the passage of the bill and Mr..
Hoy, their attorney, spoke in opposition
to the bill. He said the Cherokee outlet
containing over 100000 acres OF land,
which it was proposed to include in the
new territory, belongs as much TO the Ma
ton as the land it occupied. For
this strip the government proposes
to pay $l.l5 an acre, while private parties
have offered 81 and SO an acre. Mr.. Hoy
will continue his argument Wednesday,
when ex-senator Mcdonald will also speak
against the bill.
THE TARIFF BILL.
WAsHINGToS, February 11.-As the treas
ury figures have not yet been returned
from the public printer, the ways and
means committee will not be able TO re-
port the tariff bill back to the house be-
fore Thursday next.
