THAT FENCE CUTTING.
Willing to Leave II to the Surveyor of Taylor

Editor Gazette.
There appeared special in THE GA
ZETTE of July 30 from the Abilene cor
respondent concerning the fence cutting
that has been going on in Tayl county
for the past two months, in which he
says over two-thirds of the pastures
mentioned as being cut are Ill Callahan
county. Now, l have this tc say IN
answer to his assertions: say that not
n foot of the fence that had been cut
up to the time that my special appeared
was in Callahan county, and l am pre-
pared to prove what said was true; but
TO show Il fair disposition in the matter l
propose that We let the county surveyor
OF Taylor county say in what county the
cutting was done aud l Will pay for his
affidavit. l think l said in my special
that the officers were slow to act III the
matter. In that l may have been mis-
taken. They may have acted as they
thought best In the premises, but so fur
as the owners of the fences are concerned
they cannot yet see that anything has
been accomplished, although the officers
may have acted in the pest of faith.
The public are still waiting for good re-

not being responsible for the truthful
ness of their statements. l don't wish
TO be understood as taking the position
that Callahan county is populated alto

well known for me to take such posi-
ton, but we don't propose for Taylor to
throw her burdens upon our people when
they are not guilty; but when the people
of Callahan county go wrong aud THE

he will undertake to relate the circum-
stances to the public as fully as be would

the surveyor of Taylor county will tell
us in what county tine pasture fences

TEXAS IMMIGRATION.

Covered wagons are coming into Bay
Tor county by the hundred from East
Texas, bearing home hunters. Many of
them go far out on the plains in order to
secure cheaper lands, but rs TO whether
they make money out Of it is q serious
question.
The letters of inquiry that are at pres
eut pouring into the towns along the
route of the Fort Worth and Denver road
are very numerous, and Indicates that
the influx in the fall will be very large.
Every train that runs up into that coun-
try carries more or less of those who are
looking for investments aud homes. Que
interesting feature is that they are not
all bound for one or two points, but are
pretty evenly distributed over the coun-
try between Fort Worth and Amarillo,
while q great many keep on to Hartley
county.
JULIA, Aug. S.-Prospectors are pour

They have already bought several tracts

More railroad Bu!lding,

There is no better sign of hope for the
immediate future than the readiness with
which projects for further extensions of
great lines are taken up. The Norfolk
a1d Western continues to show the wis
dom of the building which il has prose-
cuted with such energy for years, and
now the MauitoDa is making arrange
ments for its independent outlet to Puget
Sound, over route which will develop
new territory, aud though il will enable
the company to compete with the other
transcontinentRl lines in the Northwest,
it will be- so far away thr: it will not
touch the local traffic of the Northern
Pacific, but will help to build up Seattle,
with the great country back of it in COM
petition with Tacoma, whose tributary
territory is growing as fas; as its trans
portatIon facilities. We expect to see
large amount of money wisely invested
during the next year In building in the
Southwest and the Northwest, through
territory that can be rapidly developed.

Contractor John P. Hughes who has
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas from
Denison to Sherman, and which will
probably be further extended this year
was in the city yesterday, having just
come down from his camp on Iron Ore
creek. He stated to a GAZETTE reporter
that he had 200 men aud teams at work
on the line and had work for q large
number more.
81 wish to push this piece of road, >"
he said, "as fast as possible, and il
nothing prevents will begin track laying
by September /. There is some heavy
work on the line, but that will not delay
me if can get the force 1 want. My
outfit which 1 left at WaXahachie
after completing that branch from
Dallas is now being moved up
TO Iron Ore and will be there IN q few
days.
MIR. Hughes had nothing TO say as to
what would be done after the work that
IS now being done was finished but when
asked if he would be idle after that time
said:
81 think not. -
1t is regarded by some as pretty sure
that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas ex-
tension will not be stopped until both
Dallas and Fort Worth is reached, the
popular belief being that the line will be
built 10 Trinity Mills or Lewisville from
which point trains will be run to Dallas
over the old Dnllas and Wichita and that
an independent line will be built on to
Fort Worth.

progress, and DR.. Robert Koch Of
Berlin is the pioneer in these discoveries
and researches which have borne such
splendid fruit. He has demonstra ted
the soundness of the bacillus theory of
consumption or tuberculosis, and the
miorobe theory of cholera. and has spent
much time in India and Egypt IN prose-
cutting his researches. Koch's Iabora-
tory for the study of bacteria in general
enjoys a worldwide celebrity. His stud
les mark an epoch in the history of med
iciue, and the discoverer and scientist
whose labors have produced such vast
results, easily holds the first place in a

clans of this generation. In the ex-
change of ideas in such an assemblage
much good must result to the world at

TEXAS IN TYPE,
TEXAS CROPS and WEATHER.

From sardis, Shelby county, comes
the fair report that plenty of corn Is
made and good cotton ahead. Potatoes
and cane are dong well.
Taylor county rains have produced
good cotton prospects and prepared the
land nicely for :urnIp sowing. The corn
was cut somewhat short.
The August rains have come earlier
this year than usual, and is will make
the crop of grass oil the better around
Abilene. Good showers have assured
fine cotton crop.
The heaviest rain that ever visited
Colmesneil, Tyler county, fell there last
week.
The prospect bids fair to be ALMOST
failure of the cotton crop in Hays
county. II has not rained for Two
months and the cotton worm, which has
mad Its appearance, will probably de-
stroy much of what little has been
mnde.
Bell county's corn will make an enor-
nous yield this year. Forty and fifty
bushels is spoken of rs an average.
The recent rains which have fallen in
the vicinity of Waco will help grass and
late cotton materially.
Crops are good in Navarro. In the
vicinity of Barry, Frost and Blooming
Grove the farmers will make half IL bale
of cotton TO the acre. Plenty of corn
will be made for home consumption.
GLENB osE, Aug. 9.-The rains on the
4th and 5th saved the cotton crop which
was failing on account OF drouth, but it
was too late for corn which is cut OF
one-third. Cotton picking will be the
order very soon in the early planting.
HAMILTON, Aug. 9.-The past few
days there has been several showers in
this county The rain has been very
spotted. Some of the county has not
had rain in from four to six weeks, while
other portions have had good seasons.
Nearly all the farmers report the cotton
doing well. The acreage is something
near double that of last season, and the
crop generally better. Wheat will not
make over seven and one-half bushels to
the are over the county. with a small
acreage; oats about fifty bushels per acre
in measure, but light in weight. Corn
may be counted a half crop, and guam
tity left over from last year, which will
make an ample supply. The prairie hay
crop is good. Sweet potatoes will be
good.
ENNIS, Aug. 9.-Yesterday our first
bale of cotton sold on the streets to the
highest bidder at fourteen cents. Cotton
and the seed brought $50. 1t was raised
by Mr.. EIgin, near Burnham. Corn Is a
little short, but we can supply some of
the foreign demand. Cotton Is splendid;
farmers will make more than they cnn
gather. Our people are in good spirits
and hope for an abundant harvest this
fall.

and towards procuring the investment of
Northern capital in this state. We
have. therefore, decided to call and
mold at Lampasas, Tex, on Tuesday,
September 2, 1890, convention
or those residents of Texas
who have emigrated from those
states of the Union generally known as

states, and have been of great benefit to
those states. We, therefore, ask every

the promotion of the best interests of his
adopted state, TO meet with us at Lam

ut, ompanyiug copy Of the call for the
convention, aud the resolution OF the

of you county [if there be one to the
movement, aud ask its cooperation,
and that you take such other steps as
you may deem proper, to see that your
city, town or coutny is well represented
at the meeting.
Should you have any suggestions to
make in regard to the convention, we
would be pleased TO receive them.
