4 MENAEDvILLB, Tex. June l6.-The late fine
rsns have put everything in good shape in this
county. Crops of all kinds could not be more
promising. The range is simply immense. -
ALBANY, TEX, June I6.-The corn crop in this
IeCti0h is good, and cotton is far better than
ever before. Our county is second to none in
the state.
GAINESVILLE, Tx, June IA good rain
visited This section of country Sunday and
everybody is in splendid spirits now, especially
the farmers, as the crops had begun to suffer
considerably from want of ram.
HryTsvILLE, TEX. June I9.-Heavy rains dur
inz the past few weeks have interfered with the
farmers in their work somewhat, and set them
hack great deal. The corn crop of the section
however. promises to be one of the largest ever
J gathered, and there viii be no necessity of send
Ing of for corn again, as was done this spring.
? Oats in tine shape and cotton promises to
giyea splendid yield.
FARAiERsvILLE, TEX, June ls.-The farmers
are up with their crops and the prospects were
never better at this time of the year and if no

The GAZETTE was yesterday the recipient OF a
uRmmoth radish, weighing over six pounds and
measuring eighteen inches in length and about
seventeen in circumference. This wonder grew
in the garden of DR.. G. w Mathis of, Bowie
where there are others that excel it in size. 1t
vas forwarded to The GAZETTE to be placed
among the exhibits of Montague county at the
rooms OF the Panhandle and North Texas Immi-
cation association.
WICHITA FALLS, TRX., June I6.-Farmers and
thrSshe-S report the wheat crop as turning out
much better than expected. Owing to the large
number OF thrashers shipped in here from the
old counties in the state, the price asked for
thrashng is somewhat less than last year.
Last season we paid ten cents bushel for
thrashing wheat, the thrasher furnishing all
hands required and feeding the men. This sea-
SON the same work will be done for from seven
10 eight cents per bushel, which is a fair price
when there is asamuch work as there is in this
section. II the railroads leading to Texas from
Kansas don't haul wheat, oats. ETC., from Kan
sls for nothing, the farmers in the Wichita
Fg1 gO will GET uFfN fpr thafr
ducts this season.

mgcrops harvesting is progressing nicely
and the Abilene country will enjoy q bountiful

poets are excellent for cotton and corn crop.
Peaches and other native fruit are now becom-
ing plentiful on our market,and shipments are
now being made to Fort Worth and Dallas,
where. as here tofore, Abilene had to import her
early mutt from Weatherford, but now Abilene
will fill the orders of Parker county:
