A couple OF artesian wells have just
been completed at San Antouion, one of
which has a large flow.
W. B. Mccartney, general state agent
of tue Central National building and
loan association of Omaha, says the Gra-
ham Leader, was in town last week and
succeeded in organizing branch of the
association here, with the following off,
GERS: r. f. Mabry, president; A. b.
Marston, secretary; B. S. Doty, treas
urer. The capital stock of this assoca-
ton is S27 600, and it has many en-
couragiu2 features connected with it
that have not heretofore been presented
by other companies of this kind; thus
enabling one to secure the funds with
which to build on much more reasonable
terms. Our town is greatlY.in need of
more buildings, which can now be Sc
cured through the agency of this associ-
alton.
New residences are seen on every side

TEXAS JOURNALISM.

What has become of the Daily indie
pendent? The Sulphur Springs Gazette
has the following: w. W. Williams,
who m anipulated the Daily Independ-
emit, has gone to Honey Grove with q
view of establishing a weekly paper in
that prosperous town.
The Troy Enterprise makes peaceful
bow and disappears. Enterprise not al
ways appreciated and the Troy obsequies
are the result in this case. The outfit +,
however, will not lie idle, but will be
used by b. II. Simpson to issue the Uni
versity Student in Hood county.
Here is something startling to con-
template. yet the truth cannot be dis
puted. In reporting a social event one
of the state dailies has the following: In
the evening the supper came on. This
was for the benefit of the ladies hospi-
tai, and they fed multitude, and could
have fed hundreds more, but the re-
freshments gave out.
Claude becomes vocal once more, this
time by means of the Claude News. 1t
is said the demand for the initial number
was so great that the edition was ex-
hausted before papers like THE GAZETTE
and Post were reached. At least the
second number was the first caller, but
it was very welcome, aud Claude ought
10 rise up and put the News on the front
row. b. F. Hines is editor and the pa
per is bright and clean.
The Mansfield Chronicle is putting its
best foot forward and comes out now
with honest home print and all for Mans
field. ''Slade' is bracing the paper up
in great shape and says that the gener-
Gus patronage is to blame for it. But he
don't complain and one may be assured
the people will not.
A new aspirant for daily honors and
its weary drudgery is the Wichita Even
ing Journal, 1.-the only daily between
Fort Worth, Colorado and New Mexico. -
This is entirely a new venture, with ].
w. Brooks as manager, and has the best
wishes of TIE GAZETTE, the Panhandle's
best friend. The compliments Of the
season are now in order and THE GA
ZETTE sends some large, well developed
ones.

TEXAS IN TYPE.
TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

Daingerfeld' 5 present cotton receipts
are largely In excess Of her entire chip
ment of last season.
Our farmers, says the Ka-ues County
News, are all about through picking
cotton and very soon preparations for
the next crop will begin. 1t is very dry
now and unless there is rain soon, the
crops may be somewhat affected next
year.
Carbon, in Eastland county, has
shipped TO date over double the quantity
of cotton that was marketed there last
season.
Eight cars of pecans have been shipped
from San Angelo, aud it Is thought the
number will reach ten before the close of
the season. This will be 250 200 pounds
and brings into the country sum equal
to the value Of 500 bales of cotton.
Kendall county realizes about 25 per
cent less cotton than last season.
FoRNEY, Dec. 23.-Cotton crops are
being closed out quite rapidly, and soon
there will be no more TO gather in all
the land. Crops have been good aud
collections likewise. Another year of
prosperity like this will leave US in first
class financial condition.
WAXAHACHIE, Dec. 22.-Waxahachie
Is still receiving considerable cotton and
in consequence business is brisk.
