News from Texas,

WINNsDoRo, WOOD Co., TEXAS.
October p, 1891.
Editors lnteNigeneer Being somewhat en-.
conraged by my first missing the waste
basket, pick up my pen to write again.
We are having fine weather for gathering
crops, and the farmers are making good
time. Cotton Is turning out about one
fourth better than the farmers thought it
would when they commenced picking.
Corn Is good enough, and is worth about
forty cents per bushel. Every thing is
plentiful and cheap and money is scarce
Cotton is so low it does not bring much,
and the sub treasury has not gone into
effect to make money plentiful. @ But per
haps had better let politics alone, as I am
a Democrat and against the third party and
sub-treasury. 1t is simmeripg down to
nothing in Texas, so let it go. You know
We Dem over here in Texas only have
about one hundred and afty thousand ma.
jority.
Messrs. Editors, I will now tell you
about our quiet little town, Winnsboro.
We have about 500 population, and have
one school, with over 100 pupils in regular
ATTENDANCE. We have three churches
Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist: All

fine climate and as generous a people aS
anybody would want to live with, so We

The Kind of Farming that Pays.

A type of the prosperous farmer in the
South is William l.. Kennedy, of Falling
Creek, Lenoir County, North Carolina,
who began life with nothing and now en-
ioys an income of $1,000. His experience
might be studied with profit by those far
mers Of the North aud West who are de-
ploring their lot and complaining of the
times in which they live. At the close of
the war Kennedy vas Is years old. He
had carried musket for two years, and
returned home to find the family fortunes
broken. Unoomplainingly hp went to
work as a day laborer on his fathers
plantation. After what might be termed
an apprenticeship of four years he became
ambitious to farm on his own account. A
3OO-acre farm was in the market, and, as
payment could be made by installments,
young Kennedy bought the property.
The price was to be $50 all acre. BY dint
of hard work this was paid for in few
years, and Mr.. Kennedy now owns two
plantations of about 1000 acres each. He
puts in all kind OF crops and sells every
thing that can be produced on Southern
farm. He plants 200 acres Of cotton and
obtains q 560-pound bale to the ere. One
hundred and sixty acres are given to
corn, 40 to wheat, Is to oats and % to ma
tive grasses, Peas and sweet potatoes are
extensively cultivated, the peas being
sowed on wheat and oat stnbhle. He has
herd of 100 cattle, and milks % Jersey
COWS. Every year he sells 5000 worth OF
butter. His pigs. of which he feeds
about 125, bring him in snug sum OF
money. With turkeys Mr.. Kennedy has
great success, many of the gobblers
Weighing forty pounds when they arc
killed, He feeds them on wheat bran
and clabber, Twenty men and their
wives and children are employed on the
home plantation, the other being leased
on shares. Each man has house and
garden free and is paid Is cents 4 day.
The women and children receive from 90
to 40 conts day. It is unnecessary to
cay that Mr.. Kennedy does not meddle
with politics. York Epe1ing Post.
- \ curious story comes from Salt
Lake City,, Utah, which is attracting much
attention from the friends and acquain-
tauces Of Policeman Charles +. Wanless,
shot and killed by Joseph A. Barnes, on

discussion. Barnes, it will be romember-
ed, was having quarrel with his wife,
Which the officer attempted to stop.
Barnes fired, and tho bullet passed
through Wanless's heart leaving Jag
ged hole in the breast, A married sistor
Of tue dead officer was telegraphed and

The wooden industry seems TO stand

In the East there are no new mills in
