DONLEY COUNTY.
The Progress Being Made by the Country
Around Clarendon.

The Progress Being Made by the Country
Around Clarendon.
A reporter met with Mr.. W. L. Sage,
the delegate from Clarendon to the man
ufacrurers convention in session at this
place, yesterday. Mr. Sage is also the
Donley county. Donley county will have
an exhibit at the Dallas state fair.
Clarendon is situated at the foot of the
plains near the center of Donley county,
is the county seat of the county. The
freight and passenger division of the
Fort Worth and Denver City railroad are
situated at that town, and besides an
abundance of pure freestone water, she
has yet over 800 sections of school land
not taken up. In portions of the county
and of easy access to the town is an
abundance of fine building stone. She
has two brick yards. The citizens are
now in the way of constructing county
courthouse that will be second to none in
the state. They have as good church
and school facilities as any one could
wish. The lands and town property are
now cheap, farm lands ranging from 81
to S. per acre.
The farmers this year have made from
fifteen to twenty bushels of wheat per
acre; the general average of oats from
forty to sixty bushels per acre, and sor-
ghum gipp, corn, millet in proportion.
Tomatoes, okra, beans, radishes and
vegetables of all kinds are at this time
maturing, and have been all through
the season, as the county has not suf-
fered for rain at any time during the
year. The range for stock is perfectly
green, and growing cattle, horses and
stock of all kinds are in fine condition to
go through the winter. The general
outlook at the present time is that Dom
ley comfy will be up towards the lead as
the agricultural county of the great PAN
handle of Texas. Clarendon is soon to
become not only commercial but a
center.

WILBARGER.
A Leading Vernon Citizen Tells of the Needs
of His Section.


of His Section.
Judge l.. G. Heare of Vernon, Will
barger county, Tex, is a delegate to the
manufacturers convention, and was
interviewed relative to the condition and
wants OF that beautiful and productive
portion of Northwest Texas.
"Vernon and wilbarger county are in
a f1ourishing condition. Substantial i'm
provements and rapid development have
been going on for over two years, both
in our city and county. Our farmers
have fully demonstrated the fact that
Wilbarger county is a decided success as
an agricultural county. Wheat and
oats, especially, grow to perfection, and
the ready sale of our wheat to the mil
lers all over Texas at big prices attest its
excellent quality.
"The city of Vernon is great sur
prise to all. Even our own people are
astonished at its rapid and substan tial
growth. The secret lies doubtless in the
sagacity, business tact and enterprise of
the business men of Vernon. Every new
enterprise that will add to our welfare
as solid town is encouraged in a sub
stantial manner, and we draw trade
from such an immense territory that our
retail trade is greater than that of any
two towns on the Fort Worth and Denver
City railway northwest of Fort Worth.
You will often find 200 cars standing on
the sldetracks at Vernon. We have
street cars, waterworks, electric light
plant. two ice factories, two elevators,
one 200-barrel Touring mill, one planning
mill and furniture factory, three large
brick manufactures, bottling works,
steam laundry, three weekly news
papers, $40 200 public school building
nearly completen, a normal school build
ing and also q Methodist college TO be
built soon, district fair association
organized and grounds purchased for
fair ground. 1t would take too long to
tell you all we have.
"We want several hundred solid farm
ers to manufacture our rich, raw land
into beautiful homes and fertile fields.
We have our county dotted all over with
churches and schoolhouses, and want
more bright-eyed girls and boys to grow
up under the influence of free education.
awe want paper mill to work up the
thousands of tons of cheap straw that
our fertile soil produces. We want q
tannery and wooden mill, and any and
all other enterprises that can be profit
ably conducted in our locality. We
have an inexhaustible supply of pure
water, cheap fuel, railroad facilities and
local demand of no small consequence
for many articles, OF which l have not
time now to speak of. Over 800 binders
were sold to our farmers this season,
over 600 cars of lumber have been
shipped to Vernon in the last twelve
months. The freight receipts at Vernon
is immense for town OF 1000 people.
Our dealers in all lines are doing q
splendid business.

DECKER's DULCET TONES.
A Panhandle Newspaper Man Comments
the Big Convention.

Panhandle Newspaper Man Comments
on the Big Convention.
W. s. Decker, one of the enterprising
newspaper men of the Panhandle, was
seen by GAZETTE man yesterday after
the barbecue. When asked what he
thought of the convention, the barbecue
and Fort Worth he said: s'Your con-
vention has been unquestionably a grand
success if it does nothing else for Texas
than to advertise the fact that we are
willing TO treat literally factories who
will locate with us. l have my doubts
as to whether the people of Texas are
educated up to the point of voting to
exempt factories from taxation from ten
years yet. but 1 think it would be a
grand thing for every one, the farming
class as well IL this should become a law.
''What do / think of your packing
houses and the barbecue? / think that
you people here have made success of
the convention and the barbecue, as you
have everything you have undertaken
yet. These packing houses will be the
salvation of Texas. After they are in
working order We of Texas will not have
to buy our beef and our bacon in Kansas
City, but will buy it at home. OF all
the grand things that Fort Worth has
done for Texas these packing establish
ments are the grandest. You have no
idea the way in which they will help to
build up your city. As soon as they are
found to be a success all of the Kansas
City and Chicago packers will have to
locate plants here, and that will only be
the commencement of Doom that will
make Fort Worth q city of LOG, 200 in five
wears,

her own future greatness, but filed with
the spirit of Peabody, or Cooper, de-
sirous TO help tbs weaker elements of our
beloved state that, whilst she may justly
aspire with modest ambition TO be the
metropolis of Texas, yet, with the heart
of an Ester would, in her royal robes,
remember her own beloved people by
which she is surrounded.
We also found that spirit of progress SO
fully developed among your citizens in
opening to our view your branches of
industries for our inspection, thereby
teaching us what may be accomplished by
a live, energetic people whose beacon
light is concert of action, and many of
US will return to our homes benefited
thereby, being fully impressed with the
reasonableness OF the deliberations that
has been adduced, to which il has been
our pleasure and profit to listen to, aud
we shall with joy hail with pleasure the
returns of this convention TO be held in
Fort Worth, and hope that it may be
our high privilege to again be q delegate
to such an august body, largely COM
bined of the intelligence of this state,
and if the people all over the state will
imbibe the spirits of the people of Fort
Worth, viz: unity of action, oneness of
purpose Tor the mutual goou OF all
actions OF our state, then the day is not
far distant on the horizon of time when
Texas shall not only be in renown for
stock-raising, but she shall have en-
blazoned upon her banner industries in
countless number and variety, and Eng
land will no longer reap the rich reward
of our cotton labor, but our boys and
girls will be found in every section of
this domain busily engaged around the
buzz of the cotton and WOODEN loom.
And in the close of our remarks per-
nit me TO return our sincere thanks to
courtesies received from Fort Worth cit
liens, and especially that live man, our
highly esteemed friend, o. C. Herrin-
kind, whom il has been our pleasure to
know for the past sixteen years, and we
sincerely hope that in the future oppor-
tunity may present itself to testify how
fully we appreciate these acts of marked
kindness that we SO much njoyed in eX- |
aiming the colossal structures now in
course of erection and some just COM
pleted that Fort Worth may be justly |
proud of, for they are second to meme |
either in design or workmanship, not |
only on this continent but of Europe, J
and when we make this assertion we |
know whereof we speak. THUD. |

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Rival Towns in Colorado Engage in Bloody
ATTRACTIVE Men Killed and
Several WounIed.

LAMAR, COL, Sept. 25.-Word has
been received of serious trouble between
the towns of Boston and Springfield Ia
Baca county. Since Baca county was
made from Las Animas county By the
last general assembly, there has been
strife between these two towns as to
which should have the seat. The act
organizing the county provid-
ed that Springfield should be
the county seat, and at the election held
last fall It is alleged that by manipula-
ton of the ballot 1t was made the per-
manent county seat. The people of the
town of Boston claim that Springfield has
not $4,000 worth of county property nee
essary to prevent the county seat from
being moved by majority vote this
fall. The only available building
for a county courthouse was an hotel
building In Boston. A few weeks ago
this was sold at sheriff g sale and bought
by Springfield parties. Saturday night
parties left Springfield for Boston with
machinery costing $1,000 intend
ing to move the building to the
former town and use it as
courthouse, thus preventing the county,
seat issue being raised this fall by reason
of the permanent improvement being
made. Rollers were put under the build
ing, which is the finest in the county and
three stories high, and twenty teams
were hitcned to it. Inside the
house were stationed twelve men
with Winchester rifles. The building
was moved about five miles toward
Springfield, which is about twenty-five
miles from Boston, when the people at
this latter place discovered the trick they
Immediately organized. All the availa-
BILE horses and rifles were Immediately
brought into requisition and pursuit was
made. Upon overtaking the party they
commanded halt, which was answered
by a volley of shots from men inside of
the building. The Boston crowd then
fired, and fight ragged which ended IN
the Springfield party being driven from
the building. Coal oil was then pro-
cured and the floors of the building
were saturated, which was set on fire
and entirely consumed. Great excite
ment prevails, but owing to the isolation
of the towns, Springfield being over fifty
miles from Lamar, which is the
nearest railroad station news is
hard to obtain. Several par
ties arrived here from Springfield
last night and departed hurriedly after
buying all the cartridges they could find
in town. II is reported that several
parties were seriously wounded and two
killed during the fight, but the news is
not authentic.
