thought a week ago that the
bad weather had eliminated in
the norther of that day, but it
seems we were mistaken, for
no sooner did one norther cease
than another sprung up. Once
or twice during the past week
the sun shown out about mid
day and we said "we will have
a beautiful day tomorrow" but
every morning it was cloudy
and promised bad weather.
Last night we were having
what the sailors call ga dirty
norwester," and during the
night the rain turned to sleet,
and the today we have what is
a very rare thing for this coun-
ty, sleet on the ground ground and on
the trees. The norther is still
blowing furiously. We are con-
sofing ourselves, hoping that
the cold weather is a precursor
of a good crop this year. The
old settlers say that always
when there is q cold winter
there follows plenty of rain and
of course a good crop. So we
hope and want for the good
times to come when the drouth
is broken, as we all know that
our rich land, with plenty of
rain will make magnificent
crops with only the top of the
ground scratched as we do.

TEXAS FEVER LINES.

Washington, Feb. 10.-In
accordance with an act of con-
gress of May 90, 1894, the sec
rotary of agriculture has issued
to "managers and superintend-
ents of railroads and transpor-
tation companies of the United
States, stockmen and others"
the usual regulations concern
ing cattle transportation, to be
in force from the 18th day of
February to the 1st day of
December next. The difference
between the regulations and
those of last year lies in the
fact that the Texas fever line,
as it is called, has been extend
ed westward to the Pacific coast.
The line from the Pacific coast
to its junction with the old line,
which formerly did not extend
beyond western Texes, IS de-
scribed as rPdning from the ex-
treee western point of the coun-
ty of Contra Costa, eastward
along the northern boundaries
Of Contra Costa and San Joa-
quin to the western boundary
of Amador, then north along
the western boundary of ANA
dor to the southwest corner of
Eldorado, then southwest to the
boundary line of California,
thence southeasterly along the
eastern boundary of California
to the western border of Arizo-
ma, thence south along western
boundary of Arizona to south
western boundary of the terri
tory, along the southern boun-
daries Of Arizona and New Mex
leo and the Rio Grande, south
east along the Rio Grande to
the southwest to the corner of
the county of Foley of Texas
and northeast along that county
to the northwest corner of that
county to the western extremity
of the line.
The principal change in the
old Texas fever line affects the
territory of Oklahoma, a large
portion of the northwestern
part of that territory which was
formerly included in the line
being left outside. There are
also some slight changes in the
line in Missouri, Tennessee and
Virginia.
The bureau Of animal indus
try is preparing the map for
1895, showing the Texas fever
line in its entirety under the
regulations, and it will be print
ed and ready for distribution
as soon as possible.
The regulations imposed up
on the transportation compa-
mics, stockmen and others with
regard to the removal of cattle
from south of this line do not
differ from those in force last
year.

The Presidents address at the Cotton
States and International Exposition yes
terday was long enough to contain ali
that was necessary to be said on such an
occasion and had sufficient points in it to
give those who heard IL and those who
will read it something to think about.
While recognizing the fair as a southern
product, he took broad view of it. ana
spoke of it as indicating the immense re-
sources and indomitable will of the people
of the United States He attributed the
growth and prosperity OF the country to
the influences of free institutions and the
blessing of personal liberty guaranteed
by the constitution and protected by the
government. In his view a most import
ant lesson taught by the exposition is
the imperative necessity for adhering to
policies that tend to promote the general
welfare rather than those which tend to
advance selfish or sectional interests.
The address was such a one as might
have been expected from the President.
In his administration of the great office
which he holds he has aimed to so shape
the government as to serve the best in
terests of all the people That this is
true there is no doubt, and it is the source
of his popularity.

sition is all that any one could have
wished. He will not have occasion TO re-
