THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Their Influence is Direct and Per
sonal and of Great Benefit.

The Texas Farmers Institute will con-
vene in this city next Thursday and re-
main in session three days. Farmers
institutes are growing in popularity
everywhere, and that these institutes have
been productive of immediate results is
clearly shown in those states where they
have been tried, by the rapid adoption of
better and improved modes of farming.
Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan have found
them of such material value that now a
large amount is annually voted by the
legislature of each state for their support,
and the best agricultural talent secured to
conduct them.
Their influence is direct and personal,
and the oral teaching therein given is the
best instruction on earth, since farmers
can ask questions, talk back if necessary,
present dissimilar views and have them
we'll ventilated; in short, discuss the entire
subject ad l1bitum.
Mr.. W. S. Marshall, of Fort Worth,
writing to the Dallas Texas Farm and
Ranch relative to institutes, says:
"Could the friends of Texas visit the
headquarters of the Wisconsin Farmers
institutes, as I have the past week, and see
how the institute movement is advertising
toe agricultural resources of Wisconsin
they would leave no stone unturned until
the institutes were put in good working
order in Texas. superintendent Morrison
showed me LISTERS from all over the union
asking of Wisconsin for copies of
the Institute Bulletin, etc. The distribuI
ton of the work of the experimental farm
has been so thorough by means of the in
stitute that the fame of the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station ia worldwide. Its re-
ports on feeding have been taken up and
copied by German, French and English
agricultural papers. Wisconsin is becom-
ing favorably known in agricultural cir.
Giles all over the world, and to the institute
and its work the credit is in large meas
ure DUE"
During the session in this city able
speakers will be present and very inter
esting programme will be carried out.

CROW-GRAHAM.
A Brilliant Wedding at the South
ern Presbyterian Church.

ern Presbyterian Church.
Long before the appointed hour last
evening the large auditorium OF the
Southern Presbyterian church was
crowded by large and brilliant
Assem- blage of the elite of the
city, gathered to witness the marriage of
Mr.. Galen Grow, jr and Miss Lena Ora
ham. The high esteem in which the
contracting parties are held both
here and elsewhere was too we'll
illustrated by the immense crowd pres
emit last evening to need any further
comment from The STATESMAN. Promptly
at $50 the wedding party arrived, and, the
ushers forming, proceeded to the altar to
the beautiful strains of the wedding
march, played by the skilled hands of Miss
Phillips. Arriving at the altar Doctor
Smoot pronounced the ceremony which
made the twain one, and, as the organ
once again pealed forth its joyful an
thems, the happy pair marched out of the
church and Immediately repaired to the
depot, taking the San Antonio train
for a short wedding trip; thence
they will return to Austin which will be
their home in the future. Quite a num-
Der of their friends gathered at the train
to tender their congratulations and best
wishes for a pleasant trip and speedy re-
turn.
The bride, who was very becomingly
dressedin handsome suit of dark gray, is
the youngest daughter of MIL. A. Graham
of the firm of Graham d Co., of this city,
and is universally liked, admired and
loved by all who know her for her mild
ness of manner, her sweetness of charao-
ter and that exhibit of grace of person
and cordially and sincerity
of manner that bespeaks a woman of
rae worth. The groom is the son of
Colonel Galen Grow, of this city. He is
one of Austin's most promising young
business men, and by his kindness of
heart and cordially of manners he has
won umberless friends to his side, whose
best wishes will doubtless attend him and
his fair bride on their journey through
life. The couple were the recipients of
many beautiful, tasteful and elegant
presents, many of them coming from a
distance, both within and without the
state.
The ushers for the occasion were
Messrs. j. King, jr.; A. W. Graham, W. A.
Boswell and A. G. Smoot.

A DISTINGUISHED PARTY.
Prominent People From Chicago
to Reach Here To- Morrow.

The first Chicago special Pullman
palace hotel car to the City of Mexico
left Chicago yesterday morning at 8
O'Clock and will reach Austin tomorrow
morning at o'clock. On it is the follow
ing distinguished citizens of Chicago, who
will remain in the city all day, leaving in
the evening at O'Clock: Professor De-
Lssky Miller, of Rush Medical college;
Hon. j. A. Ingersoll and wife, Mr.. d. M.
Freise and wife, Mr.. ]. Callahan and wife,
and Mrs. james Swan.
The above persons are on pleasure
trip to the City of Mexico, and stop off
here for day to see the beauties of the
capital of Texas.
1t will be the proper thing for some of
the leading citizens to meet the excursion
lists tomorrow morning and extend to
them the inequalities of the city. Es-
pecially should some of the physicians go
down and meet Doctor Miller. The party
is in charge of Conductor j. g. Grafton,
formerly connected with the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Texas railroad.

Not Much Benefited.

Stretching several hundred yards of
cloth over the galleries of the senate cham
Der and hall of representatives has not
benefited the acoustics of the halls. When
the six immense chandeliers are suspended
from the ceiling, two of them in the
center of the halls reaching Within s or 10
feet of the floor, it is believed the acou-
stios will be about perfect.

Painfully Injured.

Last afternoon as Mr.. II. R. Marks was
out driving he turned corner at too
rapid gait and his buggy was overturned
Mr.. Marks Was thrown violently to the
ground and for a time it was thought he
had received serious injuries. He rallied,
however, and last night was resting easy.
No bones were broken.

AUSTIN, February 2, 1889.

AUSTIN, FEBRUARY z, 1859.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
Carefully reviewing the able article of
Mr.. Pope, of the 25th, knowing him and
having confidence in his skill as an engi-
neer, and his statements that good roads
can be constructed at moderate cost on
our black lands, 1 will confine myself to
the financial difficulties to be overcome,
and to the equalizing of the burden of
cost as far as possible on those persons
who have the benefit of the roads when
built.
The objection to bonded system by the
Alliance, it must be confessed, is we'll
taken, unless more safeguards can be
thrown about the expenditure of the
money raised than has heretofore been
the custom in undertakings of like char
acter; again, under plan of raising
money under direct taxation and building
roads with the proceeds, the sectional con-

Attention. Farmers !

We beg to call the attention of every
farmer in Travis county to the fact that
we are sole agents at Austin for the cele
brated Garden City Flows and Champion
Corn and Cotton Planters, which we will
sell at special low prices this year.
Respectfully, GERHARD HARDWARE 90.

Texas has its own idea of the marriage

Texas has its own idea of the marriage
ceremony. Judge Pruitt, of Centerville,
recently performed aceremony which was,
in substance, as follows: "Do you and
each of you solemnly swear that you are
in earnest about this business, and that
you will stand by each other as husband
and wife through thick or thin, sink or
swim, live or die, survive or perish"
Both parties nodding their assent as they
we're pronounced man and wife.

A Kentucky Picnic.

Deadly feuds down in Kentucky be-
 tween neighbors seem to be as natural
 an affair and equally as common as it
 bas been for the Apaches to go on the
 war path in this territory. A recent
 telegram from Pineville, in that state
 gives an account of the latest tragedies. A
 feud has existed for some time between the Cowder and Bell families but just
 how it started or how it has been kept up neither party can tell.
 A section of the parties has been in
 arms at Barbourville for some time
 past, and fight began early last week ..ver a quarrel between two represent
 .t,yes of the opposing factions. Friends
 ,f the family flocked to their assistance, and for several days early in the week he mountains in the vicinity of Bar h. urville were alive with determined men
 .fned to the teeth. The inevitable ,sme, and pitch battle was fought. It is sali that more than 500 shots were frsd, ali number of people wounded. The VI. unded were spirited away, and their number cannot be learned. The sher- Iff's posse was sent to arrest the rioters but they were fired on and driven back | Barbourville. It was then that Judge Cut himself headed posse and made fsr the mountains. Another pitched bat | al. resulted, but the judges party was strong, and we'll armed and were yicto- | rlous, and succeeded in sErestlpg five of tne desperadoes. Among them were tive O. the Messrs. Galloway and Kearnes, brother of the deputy of sheriff of the county. The sheriff's posse is still in he mountains after others of the out is~s, and before the month ends it is hkely a dozen hges will be sacrificed in an effort to enforce the law. Not only gre the people of this city and county < slarmed, but those of Knox county as well and nobody ventures out unarmed and few unaccompanied by friends. T might word was received by courier that in a fight near Salt Trace last night four men were killed and half dozen wounded. Achievements have gone out and thousand armed men are now in the mountain, and 1t IS | safe to say that many man will be shot to death and the world will never hear ( of it. A tort is being erected by one of the factions, and rumors of killing ( gre too numerous to mention. The 's

If Mary Anderson had married be- fore she was a5, the chances are that she would not to-day be on the verge of hopeless insanity. Celibacy and great genius do not go well together. Clara Morris, greater actress than Anderson, realized this truth some time before she married Harriot, and although she was not at all in love with anything but her art, when her doctors told her she must go mad or marry, she very wisely married. And good wife she has made and her health Is almost re- stored. There is something in the quiet and affection of home life that IS the balance wheel to the nerve-strained, feyerish life of an actress.-EX
