The early-closing movement has scored a
decided advantage. Messrs Philip Kennedy
u Co., the well-known dry-goods merchants,
having determined to close this evening at
O'Clock. This action ON their part is due
TO the TACT that they recognize the justice of
the clerks demands, and decided to make the
concession without any ifs or condition.
The clerks will no doubt wish the firm re-
doubled prosperity, particularly as 1t made
the concession irrespective Of the action of
other merchants.

Eddy, Texas, March 81, 1890.
Editor STANDARD: l will give you
brief description of Texas-even at
the risk of repeating a familiar story
to your readers,
Texas has an area of 274, 1856 square
miles. OF this 46,302, 500 acres are
timbered lands. The exhibit at New
Orleans showed one hundred and
slxty-four varieties Of trees.
The land in this locality is rolling
prairie, the soil is black waxy and
the timber (on the creeks) is mostly
elm, pecan and blackberry. This
country is nearly all fenced, conse-
quently cattle raising on large scale
has played out. Ranchmen have
gone to Western Texas and to the
Territories with their herds. Farm
ing is the chief occupation here now,
and the "sOng of the reaper" has
taken the place of the Indians war
whoop; the farmer quietly rides his
pillow where few years ago tine wild
cowboy rode after the still wilder
cattle.
Corn and cotton are the principal
crops, although considerable small
grain is raised. Cotton is the money
crop. An average cotton crop is
worth about $1,000 per acre. One
hand can cultivate fifteen acres in
corn and thirty in cotton if the land
is not too grassy and he is rust
ler."
Land is worth from $4,000 to $500
per acre, and can be rented for $3.50
to 81 90, or for the third of the corn
and a fourth of the cotton, or by fur
nishing team and tools, it is rented
for one-half the crop.
The poor man has a good show
here, but let me say to those who
think that Texas is a haven OF rest Il
the poor, lazy man, that they neeC
not come to Texas to farm if they are
afraid to bend their backs. "Rust
lers" are given a hearty welcome, but
all others need not apply. If you
will work, and work hard, you vii
get good pay for it here, but you car
make living there as well as here i
you are a worker, if not you are o
no account anywhere.

Large Poultry Shipments.

Tenn. Farmer
AS an evidence that raising poul-
try can be and is made very profit
able business, will be readily observ-
ed from the following recent large
shipments made alone to New Or
leans in one week by Mr.. A. t.
Barnes, of Bellbuckle, he being one
of the firm of Oakley, Nance & Co.,
of Rodger, Ark, viz: One car load
containing 5000 chickens, valued at
about 81, 800, was shipped from the
Chattanooga Depot, Nashville; car
load of 1850 from MurfreesbOro,
valued at 81 $50 and carload of
5000 from Shelbyvillc, valued at
81 $50, making the total value of the
three-car loads 81, 200. These chick
ems were principally purchased in
Bedford and Rutherford counties, at
% cents each. We are informed
that the estimated cost Of shipping
a carload of chickens, in the Chicago
poultry cars, from Nashville 10 New
Orleans, counting all expense, loss
ETC., is about $210. Live chickens
in the New Orleans market are
worth about 40 cents each at this
season of the year. The above ship
ments were made over the northwes'
tern division of the Nashville anC
Chattanooga road, via. Martin, Tenn.
and from thence over the /. and c
road.
