TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

The visible supply Of wheat is much less
than it was 1T this same period last year,
says the Vernon Guard. The visible
prospect in Nilbarger county Is 80 per cent
better for good yield than il was at this
time last year The estimates place the
acreage in wheat alone in the county at
100000 acres. The chances are that It VIII
average twenty bushels per acre; but II II
is only fifteen. that is 100000 bushels for
this county alone, while nearly that much
viii be received from Greer.
In Bastrop county the corn acreage will
be considerably greater than last year.
The farmers OF Montague county are pre-
pairing TO plant large acreage in cotton.
The acreage now devoted TO wheat, corn,
oats, etc, is greater than last year.
Corn is doing nicely in Tom Green county
and oats have an excellent stand. a great
deal of cotton will be planted.
Farming in LaSalle county is preceptibly
on the increase, says the Cotulla Times.
The late rains have done incalCulable good
in this direction. Our neighbor, Mr.. Lake,
has planted 100 acres in cotton, which is
doing finely.
The Coleman county fruit which was re-
ported destroyed by the cold spell is all
safe. Only the very forward blooms were
injured, aud not enough to hurt the crop.
WICHITA FALLS, March 3l.-The outlook
for an abundant crop in this county was
never better than at this time.

ing: Second Baptist-Pursuant to notice
there was 4 business meeting at the Second
Baptist church yesterday afternoon, at
which it was decided to make an improve
ment in the place of worship in this city.
A number were in favor of making an addi-
ton to The present frame building, but
others We're in favor of building new
brick edifice that would be Il credit to the

executive committee. One thing is certain;
some improvement of q creditable nature
will be made at once. St. Mary'S Catholic
The present church building is entirely too
small to accommodate the congregations

the improvement will cost about $1,000.

Meeting Mr.. y. c. Brown, manager of
the Melch company of Vernon. WnGt-Not
asked him what he thought of the mercan-
tile corporation bill. In reply he said
"Speakiug Of hat bill, l am like the farmer
who was blowing some corn that was al
most hidden from view by the weeds He
was using an old blind mare without reins,
ana every now and then he would stop his
mare, 20 in front Of her and blaze out way
By knocking Tho weeds down with a club.
Finally he came 10 i place where the weeds
absolutely covered the corn, and he began
an industrious search for the green sprigs,
stopping down to peer through the weeds
and tIamping some distance along the row
Failing to find any evidence OF the corn, he
returned to the plow, whacled the mare
over the baci; and said: Get upl It's gee a
sisits4s. 4s1htnk' Now, this is an age Of pro-
-fession. We want mercantile corporations
To develop our state; but, on the other hand,
there may be chance for shrewd men TO
3windle the public when they are not liable
10 the full Indebtedness of the mercantile
establishment. Besides, they place mer-
chants who operate under q firm name and
are responsible 10 the complete indebted
ness of the firm At great disadvantage
and will drive some men who are not pre-
pared for close competition and who have
large sums Of money out in the country to
the wall. But / admit that they will do
some good, and can only whack the legisla-
tors over the back and say, Get up! Gee q
little, think"

WEST VIRGINIA SAFE.

Mr.. c. E. Gwinn is a prominent citizen
OF Huntington, w Va, and is an interest
ing and well-informed conversationalist.
In reply TO What-Not's questions ne said
POLITICALLY, our state is now quiet. a year
or TWO ago we had quite an Interesting
contest between Goff, Republican, and
Fleming. Democrat, for the gubernatorial
chair But Governor Wilson held the Office
three months over his term. and the
courts decided in favor Of Fleming. We
also had u congressional contest, in which
Il Republican congress seated jackson, a
Republican, by giving him a majority of
two votes. Since that time Fleming has
been reelected, and the Fifth congress
sional district defeated Jackson by POO
votes. Thus, you see, West Virginia has
returned to the straight and narrow road
and we expect to keep the grand old state
straight or break suspeuder"
What-Not-"What about the Democratic
nominee in lS92l''
Mr. Gwinn-"Well, l think West Vir-
GINA will send a Cleveland delegation
While our people are against his views on
silver we think that he is Democrat, and,
if instructed by Democratic platform, will
recommend the passage OF q free coinage
bill rs party measure. II is true that he
is opposed to such bill; but we feel that
he will bow to the will of his constituents
and assist his party in every legitimate
and honorable way. In other words, We
do not think that Cleveland will stand in
the way of his party"

parents OF course, our public schools are
for the benefit of the poor and they should
be operated in such a manner as to place
them within reach of this class. Thus
while few school teachers, who think
they are the embodiment of wisdom and
learning attempting to manipulate lesis-

Of the public and give the poor people a

The Texas school fund is not in condition

that in no manner facilitate education, and
the only way that the children can secure
an education is by application and study.
It is matter of little consequence what
