The Telephone Service.

The publications in THE GAZETTE regard
ing the inefficienciy of the telephone service
has resulted in a perfect storm of COM
plants from subscribers, and the course of
THE GAZETTE has been generally approved
by the people. One lady states that she
asked TO have her telephone adjusted, that
she could not use it at all, and received the
reply thai she was the only person who had
complained, and the fault was not with the
telephone but with the manner of using it.
Other reports similar to the above, are
heard on every hand. The telephone serv-
ice is poorer than that usually furnished
country villages. The claim is made that
the telephones are inspected twice week,
vet people say theirs have not been inspected
for months. The GAZETTE's telephone, if
inspected at all, must be inspected between
the hours of 8 and s a. m, as for the re-
naming hours of the day and night the
rooms are occupied, and none of the staff
remember to have seen an inspector for "a
month of Sundays This service must be
remedied or people must devise means of
communication in different manner.

with me that piece of timber or log or a
piece of iron six feet in length would be a
very weak anchorage for any suspension
bridge that is to be put up for the purpose
of the riding and walking public. This,
however, does not apply to the Eddy
bridge, or at least the model that was
shown to me does not show that such an
chorage is to be used.
And further think that the article in
The GAZETTE will prove a benefit to the
Eddy suspension bridge people who are in
terested in this state, from the fact that
they have been awakened by it, and put
their model before the public, which, when
once seen, will remove great many of the
bad opinions that have formerly been had
of it, as the model will speak more for itself
than all the articles that could be put on
paper The model which saw showed a
great improvement over the cut in the En-
gineering News, which shows that there is
always room for improvement on all inven-
tions. The lateral stays and trusses for
steadying the bridge against heavy winds is
a very unique and effective invention.
As have said before, if the Eddy people
had put their model before the public at
this place, in Chicago style, there would not
have been any criticising articles in print,
and told Mr. Anderson so.
You can give this letter to the public If
you so wish. Respectfully,

rheBranden Case.

A communication in yesterdays GAZETTE
over the signature Of NJ. A. Lowe, has
made number of people dubious concern
ing the worthintss of the Branded family,
in whose behalf The GAZETTE has made
several appeals to the public for aid. NJ
merous reports were circulated by some
parties to the effect that the family was in
digent and totally unworthy of the support
and sympathy which, prompted by THE
GAZETTE's solicitude, a generous public has
rendered. A GAZETTE reporter wishing to
Substantiate or refute these assertions,
and thus ascertain whether or not imposi-
ton has been practiced, called on several of
the neighbors of the Branded family, in
quired into their habits, and solicited their
opinion as to their worthiness. Without
exception they gave it as their unqualified
opinion that the assistance and sympathy
of the public mad not been misplaced. and
that no undeserving case had been foisted
upon the people.
The baby, which has been sick for some
weeks past, died and was buried yesterday.
Several gentlemen, among them some
carpenters, called upon THE GAZETTE yes
terday and were unsparing in their denun-
citation of the article mentioned and further
stated that Mr.. Branded was not only will
ing to work but was an unusually fine
workman. They further said that he de-
served all the aid and sympathy that could
be given him, and that no one who felt dis
posed to help should hesitate in the
least because Of an impression the family
were undeserving.

Oxerflow Tent Meetinp.

About thousand people gathered last
night at the Bethel tent. Rev. Bob Wear
delivered a very interesting sermon on the
power of sin. The want, the woe. the mis-
cry, the death and destruction in the world
was the result of sin. Men are naturally
prone to sin and evil in every tendency.
Peace, hope, rest, joy, heaven, is found
only in the heart cleansing through the
blood of Jesus, and being renewed in Christ
by simply accepting Him. DR. Lober led in
prayer. DR.. Tinnon conducted very en-
thusiastic aftermeeting. and some twelve
or fifteen arose for prayers and
twelve protested. A large number
of Christians of the various churches are at
tending the meetings, and have pledged to
pray for them, and to attend regularly and
work personally for souls. The Lord is
blessing this sort of faith and work. Work
ers' prayer meetings are held at 9 a. m. at
the Young Mems Christian association
rooms, and at p. IN. at the tent before
preaching; the conservation meetings at
p. m. at the tent. Dr.. Calnon and DR.. Tin

From an advance synopsis of the July
crop report, furnished by the statistician of
the United States agricultural department
Gen Clarke furnishes the following:
. The crops in Texas average as follows
600 being the normal yield of the area
planted: Corn, 50: cotton, So; oats, IS;
wheat, 90; potatoes, "a; barley, go: rye o.:
sorghum, IS; wool, "A pounds per fleece.
Texas crops are above the general average
of the states except in wool, the general
average OF which is 40 pounds per fleece,
due TO the heavier f1eeoes of the older
states, where fewer numbers, receiving
closer attention, raise the average of the
state. The cost of production is, however,
largely in favor of Texas sheep
The area of United States crops is close
to 7S,000,000 acres. The corn crop is
larger than that of 1882 The wheat win
teri crop is the largest reported since 1872
The general outlook is favorable for all IN
harvested crops
The French wheat crop is reported as
24l 600, 900 bushels, or 100,0e0, 600 short of
last year. A deficiency is reported in Aus
