OUR MISSIONARIES


Rev. A. G. Strain is popular debater
and has frequent calls to hold discus
sions with those of religious faith. His
post office address is now at Grapeland,
where he will preach when not other
wise engaged. His family has recently
moved there from Hylton, their former
home. Bro. Dan Hylton will preach in
the latter place occasionally.
Rev. X. Strain continues to preach at
various points, making his headquarters
at Cisco.
Bros. Wright, Holt, Dunbar, Hawthorn
and Arnold are keeping up their meet
ings and gaining upon the side OF truth
and right religious belief.
EDUCATIONAL ADVANCE.
Texas is coming to the front in educa-
leges are advancing in line with many Of
those in older States. The present gen.
GRAFTON bids fair to rank among the best
educated in the land.
THE RAISING OF COTTON.
The cotton crop, 80 plentiful, has in
many instances impoverished the grower
from the early drop in prices. "Pickers'
have made more money than the Rails
ers." The present small rise in market
prices comes too late for most OF the
producers who could not afford to hold
their staple.
Too many have to mortgage crop be-
forehand, or, have running yearly &C.
counts with merchants that consume
nearly all their returns, so soon as crops
are sold. This is bad state of affairs,
and until farmers turn their attention
to the raising of more corn. pork and
wheat, with which to provision their
families and less cotton for their cash
crop, they must continue poor.
NEED OF MANUFACTURES.
There is no state in the Union that
needs cotton and wooden mills, and meat
packing houses more than Texae. 1t is
poor policy to raise material and ship
away, involving the necessity of buying
the same products manufactured and
returned to them at large profits to
others. The pork packery at Fort Worth
is doing large business. Such estab
lishments. multiplied, would soon open
an extensive business for the farmer,
and bring money in return, which is now
80 scarce with even those who own
thousand acre ranches.
Cattle and horses are down to min
imum in price. One may truthfully say
many in Texas are poor in stock; the
more they have the less their means of
support. We have known herd of
cattle sold at $500 per head. A ruinous
price!
THE WOOL GROWERS.
Sheep raisers have been tempted to
utter explosives, like the Methodist con-
vert, who drew the line of religion at
grasshoppers. in relinquishing swearing
This is in consequence of "Free-wool''
to the growers here. Nevertheless
hocks are many and large here in Texas.

standing his exertions and good in
tentions he made no impression upon
his audience. The spiritual ground
in that vicinity was not prepared for
that kind of ministration. So, like
the Arab of the desert, the two unap-
preciated missionaries in day or two
afterward quietly folded their tent
and stole away.
We may smile at their ignorance
and credulity, but ADLER men have
been known to try to distort Scrip
ture to suit their dogmas.

MR.. GILBERTs NEW OPERETTA.

IN America at the Broadway Theatre last night.
II is as anybody ought to know by this time the
last comic opera. operetta, for which Mr. Gill

been given 10 the public. That fact. in connection
with the other that the performance lasted until
after II O'Clock. ought to suffice explanation
Of the circumstance that the present notice

Excelency" is altogether too good a thing TO
dispose OF so hastily. and its performance
last night had many merits that II
would be unfair to the author composer. perform
ers and public to attempt TO tell about II at this
time. Let IL suffice that the operetta is a
work worthy of Mr. Gilbert. far the book is
concerned. and illustration that his influence
upon musical composition in England has not been
lost Or. Carr very to being worthy
successor of Sir Arthur Sullivan-hut of that
something may be said hereafter. The performance.

OF comic operetta has received notable lift
