HEMPsTEAD, TEX, April 20.-Discourag-
ing news has just been brought to town
from the Brazos bottom farms. The con-
tinued rains of the last ten days
have Swelled the river so that
it is very probable that we
might have TO face another overflow
No corn was made in the bottoms last year
on account Of the overflow, and 1t took Il
good deal of money to buy seed corn at the
rate of - cents bushel. Should another
overflow cone this year it would gseatly
discourage the negro hands, yEnd II
would take but little time for theg TO leave
the bottoms. At this time thekriver is
almost full and still rising. The SoustQA
and Texas Central may nave some OF Tie
experience they had last year when the
river went over the banks.
