GRANDvIEw, TEXAS, July Al
boarded the train about 81 p. m, Thurs
day, the 3rd of August, and reached
this place Saturday morning at 10 a. m.
This is where we made our home in
1896 and part of '97, and just here will
allow the Graphic, weekly paper
published at this place, to speak as to
the impression that was made:
"Eider f. G. Sowell, of Tennessee, ar.
rived here Saturday last and began a
protracted meeting at the Christian
Church. Mr.. Sowell was pastor of the
church here at one time, and is well
liked by our people. This meeting is
being largely attended, and bids fair to
accomplish much good in the COM
munity."
l have greatly enjoyed shaking
heartily the hands of our dear friends,
both in and out of church. | am visit
ing from house to house during the day
and at night preaching to large and at
tentive crowds. l am proud indeed to
say that everybody seems to have de
sire to hear. Next Sunday at 3 ?. m.
will have the honor of officiating and
making one in the holy bonds of matri-
mony, Nj. Frank Thompson and Miss
Dovie Elliott.
1t is very dry and hot here now, but
crops are tolerably good. The first bale

sold for $3.50.
have been informed since I have
been here that last year 1000 bales Of
cotton were sold in this little town
But as far as / have seen, Texas hasnt
as great an acreage of cotton this year
as it usually has. Grandyiew is now
having built quite handsome college
| building, which will cost about $4,000
Texas prides herself on good schools
yet she sends back to Tennessee &C
casionally. The old folks from Tennes
see here say if they had a good home
back there they would rather live there
SO it seems there is tie that is hard t.
sever. My Texas trip has been made
sad because of the sickness of one OF
our dear, sweet little twins. But trus
through the skillful treatment of some
of the doctors of Columbia, and the ten
der nursing of dear mother and kline

Against the sheriff.

Huron. S. D.--Judge Campbell has
rendered a decision in the case Of Bea-
die County VS.. ID. G.. Medbury, Sheriff,
I'm favor Of the county. The case in
volved the legality Of the sherlff's bill
for the delivery Of ballot boxes and
sending notices of election, amounting
to S635.5O. The sheriff. under the Aus
tralian law, is allowed 40 cents per
mile for the work named. He is sup
posed to make the delivery from HUI
ron, or his office, direct: but IL APP
pears that he would deliver the ballot
boxes and ballots, together with the
notices. to number Of townships
without returning to his office, but
charged as if returns We're made. The
case was on appeal OF the states attor-
ney. petition having been made by sew
en- taxpayers. The court held that the
sheriff was entitled to mileage only for
the actual number Of miles travelled In
the performance Of his duties, and the
bill was allowed at $325.5O. 1t Is prob
able that other counties will have
similar experience.

QUESTION THAT Is PUZzLING.
The Continuation Of the Cubans I'm
Arms.


Havana, JAN 4-The continuance OF
the Cubans in arms is the most puz-
cling question connected with the ad-
ministration of the island. The nego-
tiations for the payment Of the soldiers
are to be conducted from Washington.
so as to relieve Gen. Brooke OF this
difficulty. For the present the Cuban
commanders are holding their men
closely together and under discipline.
Gen. Davis, military governor OF the
department oFPinar del Rio. has gone
into the matter fully with Gen. Memo
cal and other Cuban commanders.
They say that they expect the United
States to pay them and that they will
not disband until they get an answer.
The majority of military observers
here seem to think that probably the
easiest way out Is to make the pay
ment taking mortgage on the reve-
nues Of Cuba in the form Of bonds.
There are probably $4,000 men able to
work, but now sponging on their coun-
try II paid off on condition that their
arms are surrendered they would have
no excuse for not working. The Unit
ed States military authorities do not
look with favor upon the notion of
FOrcibIe Disarmament.
Gen. Brooke has received the following
dispatch from Gen. Snyder, military
governor Of the department OF Santa
Clara: Certain Cuban forces in the
district of CasilGa, the port Of TRIM
dad, have surrendered their arms"
There are twelve vessels in Havana
unloading and the customs entries for
the first day figure out about $4,000,
the receipts in cash being $15,221.
This is at the rate OF $13,OO0,0O a
year, the best Spanish record having
been 100000. A general house clean
ing IN all public buildings is an imme-
date necessity. Gen. Brooke now
governs the island from one room in
a small hotel. Lieut.. Col. Maus, chief
surgeon, says that less than i per
cent of the Seventh army corps is on
the sick list. and there is not single
case of yellow fever among the Unit
ed States troops.
