AyGLEToN CROP REPORT.
strawberry Season sntfsfnctory-A
Henvy Shipment of Potatoes.

Angleton, Texas, May s.-Vegetables are
now commencing to move and prices are
most satisfactory so far About fifty cars
of potatoes and cabbage will be shipped
from Velasco and Kiber this year and a
large number from Angleton and vicinity.
The prospects are most excellent in this
county. and farmers are well up with their
work.
The straw berry season is nearly over
and all growers are we'll satisfied With the
results: none Of them report having made
leFs than 500 per acre for their crop,
which is most satisfactory considering the
unusually severe winter. which killed
many of the plants. Some of the growers
have retted more than 5000 per acre.

here, and much interest centers about his
probable successor So far as could be as
certained today the Galveston bar Will not
attempt to take an active part in suggest
ing to Governor sayers the proper man to
name. The applications for the position
are very numerous.
II was suggested this morning that mas
much as Galveston is not represented on
this bench a candidate here should be
placed in the list and supported by the
bar. But, as said before, there does not
seem to be any disposition among the al,
torneys to make recommendation, and
they will probably keep hands on. The
names OF Judge Wells OF Brownsville and
Presley X. Ewing OF Houston are very well
received here when mentioned in connec-

department during the last admins
tration, sold the city ITO tons of lead
