Mr.. ]. T. Camp, a contractor and builder, was
in this city last night and was brim full of his
work, He has just submitted plans to the coun-
ty commissioners of Throckmorton county for
fine courthouse and school building. 1t was
understood previously that the majority opposed
the erection Of the buildings at this time, but
however that was, the plans submitted were &C.
copied four to one. The contract Will be sdver-
tised in The GAZETTE and in the Galveston pa
pers until July Z, when the bids will be closed,
The successful contractor will then immediately
commence work. The courthouse is to be
stone two-story with towers and to cost about
$50, 900. The schoolhouse will also be OF stone,
Two stories in height and costing not more
than 5000. Under the impulse Of this
coming improvement property in Throckmorton
took jump OF 100 per cent. and seems to be
there for good.
Mr. Camp is a genuine lover Of his country
and the prospects in Shackelford and Throek-
morton county justify his enthusiasm. He says
that the crops in those two counties are better
and there are more of them than there has been
for eight years. Some ofthe wheat was dam
sged and the yield will not be heavy, but the
msjOrity will pan out thirty bushels to the acre.
That gentleman also stated that business
improving greatly in Albany, and that more
wool would be handled there this year than
ever, and al better prices. He says that the
claim that Albany is the best wool mar
ket in the state is proved By the distance that
sellers come, some bringing wool from disss
lance of 800 miles. The amount handled at Che
end of the season will exceed $500, 900 worth.
The country in that section Of the state is fill
ing up very rapidly, and the camps Of the immi-
grants dot the prairies for miles. Haskell and
Jones counties are filling faster than ThrOck-
morton and Shackleford, although they lie fur
4her to the west. The reason of this is the large
Fenced holdings OF the stockmen il the latter
;eounties that keep the settler out. This con-
.tinues. although the land in the more westerly
counties is held st q highsE figure and at the
same time Is inferiaS in quatA.
