A HOLIDAY
FittsburS and PearcevilIe to Attend the Circus of CD a Nisit-I he Mines
 SlIuc Water.

Word come from F ltsnurg and Pearceyiile that both village will de- clare tomorrow legal holiday and all hands wil attend the ciIcus at Wi.cCX an that day iu body.
 The towns are closely allied, each being a suburb oi the other, and when matters of importance arise the may ors of each hold an especial session of the council 10 consider to their mutual benefit; therefore, when the arrival of A circus within thirty miles was an- nOunced and heralded through the camps excitement Tan high and an ing was held with the result that by virtue of the power vested in them through their respective charters, a holiday was declared on the 5th and resolution adopted to attend he circus in body-And as il was family affair the expenses would be paid from the general fund. This order will be car ricd out to the letter, and for one day at least it is supposed that both camps and their suburbs will Do deserted and all hands can be found on circus grounds looking at the ele- plant, feeding peanuts 10 the mon keys, or buying circus lemonade.
 Mr.John Pearce, one of the owners Of the bonanza, leaves Wilcox on Sunday for San Francisco on visit for several weeks. His going is isregaraed as having some bearing on the probable nego- liat.ons for the sale of the big mines that is now generally supposed 10 be on the tapis. However, nothing is known of the exac, nature of his trip.
 Mr.Pearce's mother also leaves Will cox on Sunday for an extended trip, going to England on visit to her aged mother and relatives, Mrs. Pearce has not seen her mother for many years, not since leaving her home, and the surprise she has in store for the old folks by her yisi, is looked forward to with plessurable anticipation. She expects 10 be ab- sent three or four months, returning 10 her family in January or February
 The mine continues to look better as work on the cross-cut Is being pushed, and the extent Of the immense ore body shows practically hmltless, while its richness continues.
 Other mines ID the district are being worked with encouraging prospects and hopeful results. The shalt on the Fry mine is down 60 feet and horse power hoist has been erected. At the Fitts mine some rich samples are to be seen, and at the other pros poets the delving into the earth con tinues, and a satisfied air seems to per wade. At the claim which was re- gently sold for $50 a rich lead has been struck, and renc wed efforts are being pn. forward, and another good paying property will soon go 10 the credit of the new gold district.
 At the well al about 3i5 feet a good flow oi water was struck, raising in the well over 40 feet. The owners, however, started in for artesian water, and while they are greatly encouraged by the flow they have they are no: at all satisfied and are pushing the well to a greater depth, feeling confden, that ariesian water can be had by going reasonably deep after it.

The organization Of a Farmers Con-
grcss here ON the 18th and the making
of the organization permanent was a
most Important matter in the advance
ment OF Texas agriculture.
Agricultural societies have always
been in favor with the people OF the
United States. The second one ever
formed was at Boston in 1892 and 1t
exists today. The third one was at
Philadelphia In 1895, and 1t also Is In
fun operation. The first one was in
England and to II we are indebted for
short horn cattle and Berkshire swine.
The agricultural society proceeds upon
the plan that the knowledge Of agricul-
ture is out among the people. This was
bound to be popular with the people
OF this country. Having full confidence
In the wisdom and intelligence Of the
masses they met together and swapped
ideas on Industrial matters. Agricul-
tural societies and boards of agriculture
have made the American farmer the
most patriotic and Intelligent OF all
those who live rural life, France has
proceeded upon the idea that knowledge
upon all subjects belonged 10 the state
and should be controlled by the state.
The French farmer looks to professors,
commissioners and similar personages
for opinions. In the consular reports
for Jan. 1895, Mr. Henry p. du Belief,
American consul at Reims, makes the
following timely remarks bearing on
this subject:
our farmer has not only the tenac-
lily OF the French peasant but sur
passes him In education and intelli-
gence; he is better prepared for the
struggles Of life; his spirit Of bound
less initiative and enterprise helps him
TO overthrow obstacles which most gem
orally discourage and stop his tmid
European brother, accustomed to look
and walt for the impulse or suggestion
emanating from the officially consti-
tuted authorities American energy is
known to increase In direct ratio TO the
difficulties confronting IT, and while It
makes the envy OF the Old World It
Will lead our people to gradually master
the secrets Of vine growing and wine
making until special grape districts
shall be found in the United States to
equal those OF France"
rms completes a fun list of Texas
state agricultural societies. The state
is now fully organized and equipped 10
give all agricultural subjects intel
ligent considerations The eject on the
state cannot be overestlmated. In
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and other states
these societies have doubled the an
nual yield per acre OF cultivated lands.
III similar results are reached in tblq
state lOOOO0,00O annually will be added
To the wealth Of the state by this means
alone. The amount Is large. but IL an
agricultural board is created, farm in
stitutes held, and proper support given
by the people to these societies IL win
be realized IN less than ten years.

anything like such percentage Of
