RAvENNA, FANNIN COUNTY, TEX. June
10.-The great rise in Red river struck this
point on Saturday night, the 9TH. The
water is higher than it has been in twenty
five years. Ali of the low lands are under
water. The river is filled with driftwood,
bridges, boats, dead animals, and OCCASION
ally human being. The river at Sowel's
bluff is four miles wide. The oldest in
habitant cannot state higher rise. The
bottoms here are narrow, hence not much
damage. A small cyclone passed through
the place on Saturday evening. but did little
damage. The Methodist church and one
dwelling were moved on their foundations.

Special to the Gazette.
TEXARKANA, TEX, June 10.-Henry Scott.
colore6, was this afternoon arrested and
lodged in Jail ON suspicion of being the muir
derer of the unknown man who was
found partly devoured by hogs in
"a thicket near town on Monday
last, an account of which was given at the
time. Investigation by the coroner led to
the belief that the deceased was not a
white man, as at first supposed, but very
bright mulatto named Gus Young,
an associate of Scott. The last
seen of Young alive was on June 3, at which
time ne was in company with Scott. This
seems to be all the evidence so far against
the prisoner but tine case is being further
investigated.
J. D. Trigg. prominent Red river
planter, was to-day tried in the Miller cir
cult court and acquitted of the
charge of numbering one of
his colored tenants named Charlie
Paxton about year ago. The defendant

MADE THE RIFLE.
It is now known that Austin will back up
her committee in raising the necessary
funds to secure the permanent state en-
campment. Substantially, the amount de-
sired has been raised, after pretty hard
struggle. Gen Mabry said to-day that the
encampment for this year Will be held at
Hyde Park. near Austin, about July r.
The exact date depends on when the tents
necessary can be secured. The grounds
will be put in order and supplied with
everything necessary 10 make the boys stay
in Austin as pleasant as possible. He stated
also that it was his intention TO take the en-
campment this year TO Arkansas Pass, but
when down there some weeks ago he found
that it would not do. There is no surf bath
ing there, and the place is unable to furnish
the tableware ard cooking utensils neces-
sary, or to supply the camp with bread
enough even. The town or towns in the
neighborhood were together inadequate to
meet the requirements of the occasion For
that reason he changed his mind and de-
cided that it should come TO Austin.

Pioneers ar LainQsburr.

Friday, the 21St inst, was q charming
day, all the more so from having been
sandwiched between two dismal rainy ones.
when we reached Laingsburg we were
met by delegation of citizens, headed by
DIR. Ward and band. Our procession, as
it marched to the grove, was not a very
large one; it could have passed any given
point, no matter what point, in less than
six hours, but it was respectable, quiet,
even down to the small boy. The people
OF Laingsburg were thoughtful i'm selecting
beautiful spot for a park so that the vii
lage in its growth had surrounded it, and
made 1t easy of access.
The most ample provisions had been
made for our comfort. Two or three hours
were passed by the gathering crowd in So
clal reunion and the picnic dinner which
is always feature of these occasions. 1t
was noticeable, however, that the pioneer
element was not there in much force.
There is but remnant left. Small at
flrst, the half century that has elapsed
since they began the work of carving out
this great commonwealth has told upon
them, and large majority OF them live
only in the memory of those for whom
they endured the toll and prvation of first
settlers. May they rest in peace. 1t was
my privilege to know large majority of
them intimately as only pioneers know
each other, and L gladly testify to their
sterling qualities.
The exercises were held in the Baptist
church, which arrangement had been made
In view of the general panicky condition
OF the weather. Rev. Mcleod, a venerable
and much esteemed minister, who in early
days rendered efficient service in his pro-
fessiOn, welcomed us gracefully, heartily.
Prayer was offered by Rev. VanOmeran.
Then came the address by J. w. Turner.
His subject, 1.-The Pioneer" happily
chosen, was handled in the most charming
manner. No attempt at a review can do
it justice. 1t was just superb, portions of
it exquisitely beautiful
The ladies of Langsburg had prepared
number of rare, beautiful boquets, which,
together with the handsome vases which
contained them, were to he presented to the
Oldest people present. The ages of the six
or eight persons who received the prizes
ranged from 90 to so. This little episode
revealed the fact that large number of
very old people were present and speaks
well for the health of Laingsburg and vicn-
ity, as well as the skill of their doctors.
Your correspondent received a very large
fragrant one, presumably on account of his
youth and mOdesty, as well as his cast-irOn
in relating pioneer stories. ??!!! Ed.

Altogether the day was pleasant and the
meeting a success.
