A ToIcE FRoM TIE TUREEN.

Although fearfully avalanched by the
polling on the 4th, Col. Web Flanagan
of Flanagan IS Mills is not, as many may
suppose, entirely overwhelmed. he is
in the soup, to be sure, but is very
much at home there. In fact, that is
where he expected TO land when be
started out. lie sought the turee2 as q
duck does the pool, and would have been
very unhappy If denied the opportunity
to take header into it. But the colonel
Is shrewd, quite shrewd, and managed
al the state convention by steering SO fely
between the ebony and lily white fac
tons, to keep in touch with both, aud
finally win the support Of Quincy, who
held the nomination for governor in his
hands. By tact and diplomacy the COL
onel secured the opportunity, to-wit-
the nomination for governor, which has
virtually placed him at the head of his
party IL the state. That was the goal Of
his ambition, and he got there. AS
party chief he Is entitled to substantial
recognition from the powers at Washing
ton and to voice in the distribution of
the loayes and fishes in the state. Prior
TO his candidacy he had no such reoogni-
ton, nor indeed recognition of any sort.
He was not in high favor with the ad-
ministration, and of course huugered Oh
the outside. Other Texas Republicans
were admitted to the feast, but the gal
liant colonel was refused that high priv
ilege. But times change and men change
with them. The colonel is no longer q
mere camp follower or high private in
the ranks. He has, by the grace of
Quincy and IN virtue OF his own good
management, been transformed all at
once into leader and spokesman of his
party. Never before could he demand
with better grace than now to know
''what are we here for?'' 1t is per-
fectly evident to the powers that be what
he is here for, and should Little Ben be
succeeded in 1892 by the Maine knight
which heaven forfend-Brer Flanagan,
who is an original Blaine man, would be
the biggest toad in the Texas puddle.

TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

Corn is somewhat short in Camp
county. but cotton is fair ana cane is
turning out good yield of syrup.
There are two gins at Oenaville, says
Waco Plaindealer. which have glnned
$500 bales of cotton TO date. There may
be 200 more yet to gin. This amount of
cotton was raised within radius of three
and half miles.
But little wheat has been sown in
Coryell county. Cotton is the great crop.
The rain in Lipscomb county was
needed. A large crop OF wheat is looked
for next year. Some of the wheat and
rye Is just coming up.
The young wheat in Runnels county
has been greatly benefited by the recent
fine rains.
Wheat sowing has been the order Of
the day for elk weeks or more in Chill
dress county, and the acreage sown will
se1tuple that of last year.

The cane and syrup yield of Houston
county this season will be enormous, all
things considered.
Mr.. j. q. Leo of the Brown county
milling company urges the farmers to
SOW largely to wheat this fall: ~ de-
sire TO call your attention to the manifest
importance If sowing large area of
wheat this year. AS you well know. the
price of wheat now is 81 per bushel all
over this state. with no prospect of de-
Ginning, and inasmuch as the stocks of
the United States, as well as those of the
whole world, are lower than ever known
before. it is impossible that prices should
be anything but high for two or three
years 10 come, even though we have Il
series of very large crops.
GAINESVILLE, Nov. Eve have had
week of almost uninterrupted rain with
no prospect now of an early breaking.
The roads are very bad. Little or no
cotton marketed in consequence.

DENTON, Nov. 16.-Heavv rains have
