last issue # the TINES was timely nnd aug
ges'ive. had expressed about the same
idea bef' re the TIMES reached us, having
seen the announcement In the daily papers
here that the people of Jonesville were pre-
pairing TO build cotton factory.
III those people will subscribe one hal the
amount they propose 10 put into the factory
at that point, in my opinion the other half
will be easily gotten, by letting capitalists
know what they are doing aud what they
propose to do.
The c.uny of Union, as You know. is
unsurpassed in her natural advantages for A
cotton factory district, and am glad 10 note
tho fact that the county is being advertised
10 cater extent than ever before.
The young gentlemen who are at the head
OF tho news bureau" Mt Union, are in
position, rs well as the EIitor of tho TIMES.
to keep the county and her resources and
splendii advantages before the word. To
say am glad, does not express my great
satisfaction at the prospect of my native
county oeiog an important manufacturing
center.

OF the story, il i, said, is both beautiful and

the Ex-Governor in Bonham few days ago

brother was. Hc replied: "He is at home
now. He Is n member of Congress" and he

only few years ago, the two brothers, Bob

Tennessee from one end of the State to the
other with their "hidles and their bsw.."

There are two negroes to be Hanged at

rape upon white women: one committed in
Grayson county, the other in Lamar, and
both had change of venue in the trials.
hanging Is something rather uuusual here.
aud, of course, the sight Of such proceeding
naturally excies the curious, and there are
many curious people in this part of Texos,
judging from the number of pcop'e going to
tho hanging While l an writing there are
hundreds of men on their way tp Bonham,
TO be present at the execution, tomorrow.
Many ladies will be in attendance ON the
occasion. People from Lamar, Hunt, Collin
and Grayson counties will be there by the
wagon loads. When the negro Hcnry Smith
was burned at Paris some time ago, the
PEOPLE had only one days notice to collect
there but fifteen to twenty thousand pc ,p!e
Witnessed bis horrible dsath. Now that all
have had time to decide whether they wish
to see men hanged or not, it is safe TO say
that at least 10000 people will visit the
scene Of tho executi.n Of the two negroes to-
morrow.

properties in the State. His residence here
will likely be only temporary.

You will doubtless be surprised when tell
you that Goyernor Hogg recently finished
appointing them, an the number is eight
thousand two hundred.
The Drop prospect is, at this time, very
gloomy. Corn, however, is looking very
well. The cotton acreage will be increased
this year in this State, and il the seasons
are favorable for Gotten you may look for
another 5000, 900 or 5000, 600 bale crop
this year. is. C.
