downward tendency of the Northern
markets.-Ft. Worth Register.

Abilene Thursday, but these partial
rains will do but little good. What is
needed is general rain.-Anson
Guide.
The merchants complain that the
chicken market is getting short. Inc
chickens do not come in fast enough to
supply the demand, and as result, the
price of fowls has gone up.-Den1son
Herald.
The kind of mutton that is required
fer the export demand and that brings
the best prices is that which has
plenty of lean meat. 1t is the most
palatable and stands shipment without
dsmage.-Stock and Farm Journal.
Several wagon loads of hogs were
marketed here today. The farmers
fifty miles north of Denison, seeing the
item in the Herald that hogs were in
demand down this way, brought in five
wagon loads and sold them out at Ia
satisfactory figure.-HeIald.
Five cent cotton is not the only pro-
duct the coast country can put on the
market. There is yet time to plant
largely both of onions and cabbage,
and the farmer who does this Will have
a little money to jingle a long in April
and May next.-Ganado Gazette.
Cotton picking is beginning in good
earnest in all parts of Roby county, and

wonderful cotton crops all over Fisher
county.-Roby correspondence.

The Fort Worth school census has
been nearly completed and it is believ-
ed that the report will be ready to be
made in a day or two. 1t is understood

Last night before the rain came up
the elements seemed to be full of plo-
yer. Thousands of them flew abont
over the city, doubtless attracted by
the lights, whistling and circling
about. Sometimes they flew low and
examined the electric lights with ap-
parent curiosity Herald.
Col. Ike Pryor, the San Antonio cat
tie king, regards the outlook for the
cattle business on the island of Cuba
as extremely hattering. He estimates
that the demand for the next year will
be fully LOCO, 900 head, and that twice
that mum Der will be imported before
the supply assumes its normal status,
taking into consideration the consump-
tion in the meantime.-San Antonio
Light.
The batsleship Texas put more holes
into Cervera's fleet than any OF her
competitors. The lied Cross steamer
State of Texas was the first vessel TO
enter the harbor of Santiago after the
surrender of the city. Lieut.. Hall of
Texas was the first member of our ar
my of invasion to land on Cuban soil,
and Lieut.. Clark of Texas was one of
the crew that sank the Merrimac. No
wonder the United States are glad that
Texas annexed them.-EEchange.
