Georgetown CTexaD Generalities.
Everything is now quite lovely in
Texas. The recent rains have made
plenty of grass and new spirit of enter
prise seems To exist. The prairies are
all covered over, with beautiful flowers
of almost every kind and color. Indeed,
we are very much reminded of what the
young lady said to the little millinery
clerk while he was wrapping up some
artificial flowers for her. 80, how lovely"
she meant the flowers of course.
The click of the cotton planter and
rattle of cultivators can now be heAd in
every direction. Farmers are the most
busily engaged ut present ! ever saw
them, in fact, every business occupant
saenls--to be full of new life and on the
road to prosperity.
Some few third partyites, who are
waiting for congress To enact laws that
will provide for them such things rs they
now stand in great need of, are doing
but little. It's right disgusting to hear
some women out here talk third partyism.
They seem rs If they would be greatly
gratitied if the third party was only
strong enough To make war upon the
government. Poor silly creatures. I'm
quite sure it would take but very little
war to do them. Let me say word
right here to all young ladies--if you
have been accustomed to talking politics,
never be guilty of the like again. You
are only making display of your own
ignorance, which intelligence will spurn
with contempt.
New counterfeit bank notes have been
discovered at Fort Worth recently. This
time il is the ten.dollar bill of the Fort
Worth national hank that has been coun-
terfeited. Among parties who received
these bills are the Texas brewing com
pany and the Crawford dry goods COM
pany. In both instances the bills were
sent in with collections and the bogus
money was readily detected and returned
10 the unsuspectng owners who had been
beat. These bills were all made from
the photographs of genuine bills from
which with the aid of acids was made
what is termed relief plate from the
photograph. The signatures of President
X. NJ. Nanzandt and Cashier y. Harding
we're forged on the bill with pen and
ink. A conviction exists in the minds

is a gass engaged in showing the queer
in these parts is evident. Matters have
come 10 such pass that every bill now
presented is closely scrutinized and in
many cases experts are appealed To before
il is accepted. No clew to the identity
If the showers of the money exists thus
far. Cashier T. G. Phillips, of the First
National bank of Bowie, was in Fort
Worth not long since looking after some
counterfeit bills that had been passed in

The Dever boys and Won Evans, the
accused would.be train robbers, have
decided not To have another examining
trial but To remain in Jail until the next
regular term of court and then try 10

give bond do not know, us they could
easily fill million dollar bond if they
wished to.
\ very interesting meeting is being
carried on ut this place by Rev. Nelson,
of the Methodist church. Quite mum
her of Georgetown's fairest flowers have
been in constant attendance and If there
was n Kentucky boy in town who did
not attend il was on account of heart

The corn that was repanted after the

will be some corn made yet.
