TEXAS COAL.
An Immense Vein Now Being Developed In
Coleman County.

An Immense Vein Now Being Developed In
Coleman County,
Col. Andy j. Chambers has just re-
| turned from a trip through the eastern
| portion of Coleman county. and brought
| with him specimens of coal that is now
being mined at different points near the
line of the Santa Fe railroad. To q
GAZETTE reporter Col. Chambers stated
that the vein from which the specimens
he showed were taken was one of the
finest he ever saw in Texas, and that the
supply of it seemed to be ine1haustible.
"The vein OF coal, - he said, "as far
as it has been traced runs from several
miles north of the eastern line of the
county towards the southwest TO and
across the Colorado river near the mouth
of Bull creek. The first shaft that l Wis
tied was that OF Huffman s. Hall at the
upper end of the vein. This shaft is now
down sixty feet and seyenteen-lnch
vein of flint coal has been struck, and
great quantities are being taken out aud
hauled to Coleman City. Further down
there has been another shaft sunk
and an eIghteen-inch vein struck, and il
is said that in we'll that was boxed the
drill passed thirty inches through coal.
The Pueblo shaft just across the Colorado
river in Concho county is down eighty
two feet and has struck an eighteen-inch
vein of coal.
~ have tested this coal and find it as
good as the Richardson, the Victor or
the McAlister article; 1t burns freely
and leaves nothing but ashes behind.
There is no doubt that this section of
country has an inexhaustible supply of
coal Of superior quality, and when the
railroads strike the iron fields of LlanO
county, which they will in short time,
this coal will be used. -
Chow will it be got to the iron
works?''
1.-The railroads will build spur tracks
to the mines which are too valuable to re-
main idle or undeveloped. The Santa
Fe road crosses this bed of coal just lit
tie south of the center of the eastern
line of the county, and q few miles be-
low the Huff an & Hall shaft. That
the mines will be fully developed have
no doubt, and when they are Coleman
county will boom for a certainty.
have seen no Texas coal equal to this,
and it is there in untold quantities.
There Is but little slate or sulphur in it,
and it Is bound to be popular. A rail-
road from Fort Worth penetrating this
section would solve the fuel problem for
all time to come.

satin and the other uncut velvet, etc.
Nor will these beautiful ribbons serve
merely for garniture. They will also be
used for the CONNECTION OF bonnets and
capotes. In the opinion of some, strings
will be suppressed on account of the i'm
possibility of wearing them in coniunc-
ton with feather ruffs, neclklets aud col
larettes.
The ribbons used for hat trimmings
will be wider this seasonal least two
inches in width-not only for garniture,
but also for strings. In Jet ornaments,
too, there will be found many novelties
for the decoration of bonnets, especially
in the line of butterflies and dragon flies,
some of them being large enough to
make up the whole bonnet except the
fold or puff of velvet in the brim.
g AiErettes will have faceted jets; so,
too, will buckles, clasps and slides, For
those designs of more pronounced effects
there will be found an endless variety of
buckles, slides, clasps, long pins with
tilagree heads, small pins with heads

"It's pity you couldn't get him to

Although the summer hat has several
weeks to run yet, don t think it is a bit
too soon to give glance ahead. Light
colored felts will naturally be the first to
make their appearance, and of felts in
general, l may say they will be finer in
texture and quality than ever before,
one of their good points being increased
lightness in weight. II would be simply
out of the question for me to attempt to

THE SOUTH'S PROSPERITY.
The Manufacturers Record Gives Estimates OF
Crops-"Best Outlook for Farmers
Since the War"

Special to the Gazette.
BALTIMORE, ND. Aug. 2.5-The Man.
ufacturer' Record 8 annual review of
the cotton situation South predicts the
largest crop ever produced, and states
Farmers are less in debt than at any time
for twenty-five years. The cotton crops
for five years have steadily increased
from 6 sos, 200 bales in 1SS6-87 to from
$500, 900 TO s 200 900 bales, estimated,
for the present crop. Total value of the
last four crops, including cotton seed,
was 81, 500, 200, 200. The value of this
years crop is estimated at $500 900 900.
While cotton has thus been adding so
enormously TO the South g wealth, corn,
wheat, oats, tobacco, rice, sugar, grass
and fruits and vegetables have made
great gains. From ali over the South
the bankers write of "the best outlook
for farmers since the war.

TheF reason why it is so easy for a
hat to be ridiculous is that it is the most
unnatural thing in the world. Nature
gave US hair TO serve as covering for
our heads, and she thought she had
solved that problem. Ancient art took
this view of the matter, and you'll find
that, with very rare exceptions
il gives no other covering TO women s
heads, save the natural one. Hence 1t
is very daring piece Of business-this
attempt to devise headgear which shall
be at one and the same time useful aud
ornamental In this age the men alone
attempt to unite the two; we women
strive only for the ornamental. A very
witty French woman once wrote book
to prove that everything and everybody
in this world are ridiculous. If she were
alive to-day, and could gaze upon our
tiny toques, our dainty little bonnets and
our huge, wlde-reaching big hats, she
would tip tilt her nose and exclaim, c. est
ridicuIe! But, ridiculous or not, we
must have them. For centuries fathers,
husbands and brothers have scoied at
women's hats. They have either been

TIE RIO GKANpr ROAD.

The Extension of This Line Into Liano
County highly Probable.
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande road
Will be completed and running to CO.
man che IN very short time and speou-
iation continues as TO what the pro-
gramme will be after that. The com
pany has been at work for months run
ming lines beyond Comanche towards
Brentwood and down through San Saba
and Llano counties, and it is said the
question of right of way has been set
tied all along both routes. NOtwith-
standing the fact that lines have been
run and right of way secured on two or
more proposed routes, il is now regarded
as q certainty that the road will IN the
near future be extended from Comanche
in a southern direction through, prob
ably, Goldthwaite and San Saba coun-
ties into the iron regions of Llano
county. Propositions of subsidy, right
of way, depot grounds, etc. have been
submitted to the company's representa-
tives in Texas by different towns that
are amb tious for this road, and these
propositions are now in New York and
will be acted on in short time. al
though it is believed that the officials
have already determined which route the
road will be built on.
9 1t is also lived that in time there
will be built from Comanche to Brown
wood branch of this road, but this will
not be done probably until the line from
Comanche to the iron fields has been fin
ished. This road is extending slowly but
surely, and it is one of the. best con-
structsd roads, not only in Texas, but in
the South. There is plenty of money be-
hind it, and 1t will most assurediy not
stop anywhere this side OF the Rio Grande
river for any great length OF time.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. Ex-Governor
Ross was in receipt of dispatch from
Mrs. Seguin OF Nueva Laredo, Mex. 4,
announcing the death of her husband,
Col. John N. seguin, in that city. The
flag was in con sequence ordered at half
mast on the capitol. Col. Seguin was

the Texas revolution John NJ. Seguin
was one of the immortal garrison of the
Alamo, but a few days before the mas
sacre he was sent on detached duty, and
thus escaped the fate of Bowie, Crockett
and their doomed comrades. Capt. Sc
gum commanded company subse-
quently at the battle of San Jacinto,
where territory larger than the empire
of Germany was conquered from the gov
eminent of Mexico under Santa Anna.
