Fulshear, Texas, July 2l.-My crop was
completely destroyed in the bottom and all
the crops as far as know. We are plant
ing now some June corn. millet. sorghum
and peas to make feed to make crop on
next year.
l have about 100 acres OF cotton and
corn on prairie on which / expect to make
between 20 and 80 bales OF cotton and 400
barrels corn.
Some land was improved very much by
a deposit of soil on same and some was
ruined on the river by deposit of quick
sand and gravel from two to four feet
deep. Our land was all improved. We
lost no houses and no stock. some places
lost one-half their houses. l expect TO
get into shape for farming next year.
There is very little cotton being planted
here, Farmers have all decided it is use
less. j. G. Mayes
The report about farmers not re7lanting
cotton is something Of surprise. 1t was
supposed that 20 per cent of the cotton
acreage was being replanted. Possibly the
estimate Is too high.

ISLAND CITY NEWSITEMS
Wreck 81 The City Of Waco Is to Be De-
stroyed at Last.
SUMNER TRAVEL TO the EAST BY SEA
Seasonal Visitor from New Or
leans Looking mt Port.

Galveston, Texas. July 22-Captain Chas.
6. Richie. corps of engineers in charge of
the harbor work here. has addressed a
OF tho Mallory line. asking II that company
has abandoned the wreck Of the steamship
City OF Waco, which lies Just off the en-
trance to the Galveston jetties. This Ia a
perfunctory proceeding which the govern
ment always takes with owners of strand
ed wrecks before they are destroyed, in or
der 10 head off any claim for damages
which might otherwise result The let
ter indicates that the government will
proceed to destroy the wreck, which has
long been an obstruction more or less
dangerous to strange ships making the
harbor In the night time. The wreck has
been marked by a buoy ever since 1t went
down. but in spite OF this several vessels
have souled 1t and It should have been re-
moved years ago.
This letter recalls the loss OF the Waco
which was one of the worst marine disas-
ters that ever happened near this port.
On the evening OF November 8, 1876 the
City OF Waco. in command of Captain
Greenman, was sighted by the bar pilots
making for the bar There were nearly
hundred sailing vessels at anchor off the
bar then, for that was before the magnih-
cent system OF jetties had done away with
the obstruction at the entrance to Calves
ton harbor. BY the time the Waco made
the bar the tide was at low ebb and there
was not enough water for her to cross, SO
she let go her anchor and lay TO it TO await
the serving of the tide In the morning.
That night a gale of wind blew up and
about II o'clock at night a terrific sea was
running. Suddenly n flash of light showed
from the Waco, and in few moments the
vessel was ailame from bowsprit 10 taft
rail In spite of the fact that she was in
hailing distance almost of hundred ships,
the sea was so terrific that not a boat
could be launched and the flames spread
with such ierceness that not soul from
the Inflated steamer escaped from her to
tell the story of how II happened.
There was another incident of the loss
of the ship which has been forgotten or is
not generally known II was Captain
Scrimgeour's turn to board her and pilot
her in, but Pilot Wolfe was a great friend
of Captain Greenman and requested Cap
tain Scrimgeour to exchange boards"
with him and bring In the little down
east schooner Kate Miller Captain Scrlm-
geour agreed and Captain Wolfe boarded
the waco. he never lett her awe ana
was lost with the vessel his body being
sfterward recovered by the crew OF a
German bark
With the destruction OF the wreck of
the Waco and the removal of the buoy
which has marked her grave for nearly
twenty-three years, the last physical yes
tige of this tragedy of the sea Will have
passed away
With the removal of the Waco wreck
the last danger spot on the coast near
Galveston will be gone. and this port will
be one of the safest In the world for ships
to approach from the sea.
