LocKET. TEXAS, March 6. 1892
DEAR COURIER: The Texas farmers
have commenced planting corn, but the
spring is said to be the latest for many
years.
Mrs. T. c. Moore died at the home Of
her son-in-law, on January 22d. She had
recently moved to Texas from South
Carolina. She was the widow of Emory
Moore, of that State.
Married, at the residence of the brides
father, Mr.. W. T. Williams, Mr.. F. NJ.
Kennedy to Miss Emma Williams.
Miss Burtie Davis, formerly of Oconee
county, S. c., is on a visit to her brother
in jefferson City.
Mr.. Porter Davis and wife have recently
been to see his father, Mr.. N. L. Davis,
and family Porter is fine young man
and was well known in your couaty
before he removed to Texas. he is
clerking in jefferson City. In Western
parlance you bet he is ''hustler.
Farmers are going to plant very large
crop of cotton ont here. This is the
place to plant cotton and corn If you
want to reap large crop.
Oats are looking fine. think this is
the place for poor people as well as the
rich, for all who will work can make a
living here.
Your scribe went down to Jefferson
the other Sunday, and while looking
around he saw the great iron works, and
to his surprise the people were working
the same as if it had been Monday. On
the tram road they were hauling logs to
the great Empire Mills and working just
the same as though it were not 'ay OF
rest. What shall become of the people
who break the Sabbath, the day which
God gives and reckons holy? W. H. W.

INAUGURATION OF PRESI-
DENT CLEVELAND.
ENTHUSIASM OF THE
DEMOCRACY.
FEARFUL SNOW AND RAIN
STORM PREVAILS.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Grover cieve-
land. of New York, thrice nominated for
President of the United States and twice
elected, was to-day successfully inducted
into that high Office for his second term
with all appropriate ceremonies and the
gathering of a mighty m .t;tl.,.e and the
accompaniment of blindin, snow storm.
The last occasion was greater than Che
first. 1t was more imposing in the mill
tary and civic display Hat the atmos-
pheric conditions been anything like
favorable, instead of being as bad rs
they could possibly be, there would pro-
baby have been sixty thousand men and
number of ladies marching or riding in
the parade, as against twenty-five thou
sand in 1885. They were all here wait
ing to fall in line. but at the last moment
many OF the organizations were com
PEELED to desist from participation.
Nevertheless the occasion was made
memorable by the vast attendance. In
1885 there were at the outside not more
than twenty-five thousand men in line in
the inaugural parade. To-day the Gov
ernors of eleven great States-New York.
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachu-
setts in the North and East; Of Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland among the Middle
tates; of Georgia, North and South
rolina and Louisiana in the South, and
Wisconsin IL the far West-parti@l-
4 in the national ceremonies and
thereby emphasized the hecomplete restora-
ton Of national unity. More interesting
and significant e@ea than this, perhaps,
: m the eyes Of other nations and the his
torian. were the manifestations OF the
marvellous growth Of the country IN
population and power. and the fact that
this momentous and majestic change IN
the government of sixty-five millions Of
people was accomplished according to a

Cleveland turned around to the Chief
Justice, who was attired in the robes OF
his Office, to take the oath prescribed by
the constitution. Chief Justice Fuller
and the other persons near to the Presi-

heads listened to the taking of the oath
of Office, which was pronounced by Chief
Justice Fuller in a clear voice, Mr.. Cleve-
land asserting to it by bowling his head
and kissing the Bible.
The oath taken b. the President is
what is known as the constitutional oath
and reads as follows:
L do solemnly swear that l will faith

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE president
and Mrs Cleveland have moved out to
their country house. The Star says
that Il secret which has been whispered
around some time and about which.
naturally. members of the presidents
household do not care to talk, is now
no longer a secret. as it has been given
considerable publicity. The expected
event explains why the president and
Mrs. Cleveland have been somewhat
anxious to get into their own country

MINNEAPOLIS BANKS.

Run on Merchants aud Mechanics
Nearly Over-The State Bank.
MINNEAPOLIS, May II. - About 8
o'clock a. m. a little crowd began to
gather about the front of the Farmers
and Mechanics bank to watch the con-
tinuance of the run, if there was to be
one. Spaces were roped off on both
sides of the bank and only those ad-
mitted who. had actual business to
transact. This will add to the speed
with which the money can be paid out.
The fact that the bank is making things
SO easy for its depositors shows the
confidence of the bank officials
in their ability to meet all
demands. People have continued to
draw money all morning, but it is
growing perceptibly small in crowd
and confidence is clearly returning.
Many deposits were also made.
Will Resume Soon.
The directors of the Farmers and
Merchants State bank, the bank which
suspended Monday, held meeting and
decided to resume business as soon as
collateral can be realized on, which
will be in few days. The directors
say their money is now in sight and
that they will be in good condition
again very shortly.
