wheat crop.
The Constitution says that the crop of
| cotton in the vicinity of Weatherford will
more than average with those of the last
five years, and adds: Somebody has been
slandering this county about there being
an entire failure in crops. There has
been considerable wheat raised, some
oats and tolerable corn crop, and with
the amount of old corn on hand, there
will be plenty for home consumption and
lots to sell.
Cotton in Caldwell county is variously
estimated, the average of the estimates
being about one-third bale to the acre.
One yield of tifty-three bushels of corn
to the acre is reported as an average
from large field.

ing here about p. N. Yesterday and

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. S.-A ire
mendous rain, amounting almost to
deluge, set in here this evening about
O'Clock. The water came down in sheets
and the streets were converted into
raging torrents in q giffy. The indica-
tons are that the rain was general
throughout this section, and that the
downpour will continue ell night. 1t is
the heaviest known here in five years. 1t
will vastly benefit the farm and stock
interests.
AUSTIN, Sept. S.-Heavy rains this
evening put an end to the drouth. The
city had her old sides washed out.
CENTER, Sept. S.-A good and much
needed rain fell in this county yesterday
and this morning. Corn and cotton

the yield of cane and potatoes 20 DER
cent. Corn and cotton are being rapidly
harvested, and farmers are expecting to
realize handsome profits.

falling last night about dark and con-
tinued until 1880 to-day, and the ele-
ments look as though the shower might
be renewed at any moment.

rain here last night, which puts the
ground in order to plant at last. Crops
of all kinds are very light.
ABILENE, Sept. S.-The Abilene coun-
try has again been visited with one of
the finest rains that ever fell in this sec
ton. The rain commenced to fall on
yesterday evening and upto tonight still
continues undated with no prospects of |
an early termination. This rain will be of |
great be nefit to the growing crops and |
will put the soil in splendid condition for |
the early sowing of fall wheat. Several |
of the buildings in course of erection suf- |
Tered to great extent by water filling |
the cellars and undermining the founda- !
tons, which will have to be recon-
structed.
HICo, Sept. Sowing to con-
tinued drouth cotton has fallen short of
the estimate thirty days ago. No gen.
eral rain has fallen since the 18th of June.
Local showers haYe done but
little good. The two gins in town are
turning out from forty to fifty bales per
lay which is something unusual for this
early IN the season. From seventy-tive
70 one hundred bales of cotton are sold
acre every day. The corn crop is fair
out not as good as last year. 1t is SELL
ng at forty cents per bushel. Stock
Tater Is plentiful.

ain set in here about eleven o. CLOCK last
light and continued furiously for several
lours. More water fell than at any one
ime since the flood rains of last April.
he fall gardens, of which many have
een planted in the city, will flourish I'M
er the wholesome influence of this mois-
t. Of I,a !
everal hundred bales daily.

wenty -four hours. 1t has fallen go
Moderately that it has not knocked out
lie cotton or injured il in any way. 1t
yet raining. The ground is wet and
Q viii soon have fine grass again. we
ill also have some fall turnips, which
Q very much need. Cotton picking is
opped for few days and the gins will
itch up with their work. They were all :
shind. There are not enough gins in
lis country to gin the cotton as fast as I
is gathered. Corn is selling at fifty
nts bushel.
LAMPAsAs, Sept. 9.-Raiu began to
IL yesterday morning and continued )
18th but little intermission until daylight
is morning. This will finish the top
op of cotton and insure sweet potatoes,
rnips, butter beans and fall gardens
AUSTIN, Sept. 9.-Another heavy rain =
Il here to-day, washing down the
reefs and causing Shoal creek TO start
running again after the long drouth. y
FoRNEY, Sept. 9.-Since Sunday night i.
e weather has been rather cloudy and | q
owery. 1t will perhaps benefit turnips n
ID potatoes, but not enough to increase =
g amount of water for stock.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-Cotton receipts con- .
Tue phenomenal for this date, and
any think that it will be an early and a
ort market. This depends all on the
'st, as many fields are still green and
owded with form bloom and young S
lis.
