week.
A fine rain fell In Tom Green county last
Thursday.
Lots of peaches are being brought in at

Corn in Taylor county will make heavy
crop with but little more rain.
Wild plu ms are plentiful in Hall county.
The rain Sunday night was of great ben
fit to the crops of Grayson county. Dat
harvest has commenced. Cotton is. grow
ing fast
All kinds of crops are good in Wheeler
county this year. Wheat has been har-
vested and the corn crop will be large.
The rains in Marion county the last week
have been very partial. While nice rains
have fallen in some spots, others are badly
needing rain.
Several good rains fell at Corrigan, Polk
county, last week, and crops are good.
Watermelons are becoming quite plenti-
full at Luling Caldwell county, but the
price is still high.
PUTNAM, CALLAHAN COUNTY, June o.
A splendid rain fell here last night and
good crop of corn is now assured. Thresh-
ing is progressing nicely oand wheat is
turning out ulucu DelUef Uudn was eX-
pected. Our crop made thirty-seven and
one-third bushels per acre and the average
yield of all the wheat that has been
threshed to date is something over TWEEN
ty-siX bushels per acre. The first carload
of the new crop was shipped to-day. The
oat crop is not so good as the wheat, but
will make an average of forty or fifty BUSH
els per acre. The condition of the cotton
crop is better than was ever before known
at this season. The acreage is more than
twice as large as last year.
IREDELL, BosQUE COUNTY, June 22.-This
morning our section was visited by a
glorious rain, which continued for nearly
three hours. The ground is thoroughly
wet, about two and half inches of water
having fallen. This insures fair corn
crop and almost guarantees the maturity of
the early cotton, which is now blooming.
Springtown, Parker county-Most of the
corn is laid by.
Cisco, EAsTLAND COUNTY, June 23.-The
corn crop that has been so promising until
within few days past, is just being
blighted by the excessive hot weather.
Gardens are parched, and unmatured vege-
tables destroyed. Wheat harvest is over,
and the quality of the grain is excellent.
The trouble is, that in this section very lit
tie wheat was planted.

Some Fine Fruit--A Lodge of

A Shooting ARRAY.

Yesterday afternoon telephone message
called Sheriff Richardson and Deputies
Witcher and Gunnels to the North Side, the
message saying woman had been shot in
the face. Investigation showed that, as
far as could be learned, a tramp had APP
preached a lady residing northeast of the
packing house and made an insulting propo-
sition The lady resisted and the tramp
left. The woman's husband came home
about twenty minutes afterward and, upon
being informed of the occurrence, took
his shotgun and started after the tramp.
He found him about mile away and
called to the fellow to stop, as he wanted
10 see him. The tramp's answer was q
shot from his revolver. The angry hus-
band then drew his shotgun down on his
,rampship and fired, one or two of the shots
striking him in the face and rendering him
very bloody. The fellow then struck into
s cornfeld and was seen mile or two
away, where he entered farm yard and
washed the blood from his face. He then
resumed his journey toward Fort Worth.
At late hour last night the officers had
failed TO locate the man, though it is sup
posed he is somewhere in the city or vi

Injured by a Runaway.

Last evening about o'clock serious ac-
Cident occurred on the corner of First and
Elm streets which might have proved fatal.
The city's steam roller was left standing
IN the middle of the street with no warning
light The electric lights were not burning
and the streets were buried in semi-dark-
ness. About the hour named Charles Will
Jams and friend were driving along the
streets in an open buggy, when the horse
became frightened and ran away, dashing
lie buggy against the machine and smash
Ing the buggy into slnithereens. The occu-
pants were thrown out and pretty seriously
bruised. Fortunately. their injuries were
not of serious character, though the city
t"ill probably be asked to invest in a shat-
:ered buggy.

her four-year-old son slipped out, imbued

John W. Wilkinson, the painter who
yesterday fell from swinging scaffold at
serious nature, died this morning at $50
O'Clock at his home on the South SIDE. His
death was not surprise as his injuries

WILL CHILTON.
The Handsome Charlestonian Causes
Commotion In Local Political Circles.

COmmotlOn In Local ROllIlchl ClrcleS.
Capt. Will Chiffon, the handsome Demo
cratic hustler from Charleston, and law
partner of Senator Kenna, has been at the
Windsor Hotel for several days back, and
rumor has it that VIII is in the city On po-
litical business.
viii is not only popular but is known all
over the big KanaWha Valley as 3 con-
spicuOus figure about county and State
Conventions in which he has any interest,
near or remote. He has a reputation for
great political astuteness, and the candi-
date VINO enjoys his confidence and can get
b m o DO some work at or near Convention
Tune is very lucky.
Since the Captain set his handsome fig
ure in town, the political gossips have been
6uzzing until they have turned gentle
zephyr into a good sized gale, which, IN
effect, is that he wants the next State Con-
vention at Charleston, and is as busy as
the busiest bee working for that end.
OF course when the gossips get to this
conclusion they inquire what actuateS the
Captain to interest himself so earnestly in
that connection. And thereby hangs
tale. BE it known, that w. A. McCorkle,
of Charleston, a prominent lawyer and an
excellent Democrat, is a strong candidate
for Gubernatorial honors.
If the convention were held at
Charleston it would be for obvious
reasons, satisfactory TO Mr.. McCorkle.
Now the question arises whom, if any,
of the several candidates in this end Of the
State is the Captain calling upon, or is tue
story all a canardl We have first, for
gubernatorial honors w. G. Handlan, Esq,
and Hon. Robert White; for Auditor,
Hon Dave Garden and Thomas S. Darrah,
Esq; for Attorney General, Chairman
II - Riev All Democrats of the unrest
water and each capable and worthy OF
honorably filling the position to which he
aspires.
Has Capt Will Chiffon called on each
and every one of these gentlemen to ascer-
tain how the land lays, or has he just been
feeling around TO see which, if any, can lay
greater claim TO the stalwart Democracy
of Ohio county than the other fellows Time
will tell, but be that as it may, Will Chilt-
on's arrival in the city has kicked up quite
commotion in certain quarters.

We do not understand how you can

every hour in our Dress Goods Depart

large quantities and always for cash.
Whenever a house Is wanting money
badly they always hunt house that
can pay spot cash, no matter how large
the quantity. In that way we can 0uy
aud sell our customers Dress Goods at
less prices than smaller houses pay for
same goods. Our "a cent Silk Warp

AN INNOVATION.
A Notable Addition to an Already Hand
some Place OF Business.

Early in the coming week ground will
be broken in the rear of the jewelry
store of Wheat & Hancher for an add
tion to their already large and beautiful
store room, which, when completed,
will be little ahead OF anything in the
retail line in this or almost any other
city. The new addition will be 2Sy17
feet in ground dimensions by about
twenty feet to the center OF the ceiling,
and will be used as al art room for the
display of the choice line of goods car
ried by the firm in that department.
The plans show very novel, striking,
and beautiful design, and as the archi-
tect and builders were given carte
blanche as to expenditures, they are nat
urally doing their level best to combine
novel and beautiful designs and effects.
In this ambition they have apparently
succeeded beyond reasonable eXpecta-
ton, and the apartment will attract
wide attention when thrown open to
the public.
