- aEAT DAMAGE
~ IN MADISON COUNTY.
What the MadisOnyille Meteor
Says About the Big Rain.

In Madison county the damage
done is nothing as compared with
that sustained by other sections,
and our farmers who are bemoan-
ing the loss Of a few acres Of cotton
or corn that happened to be plant
ed too near the creek, should feel
thankful, and no doubt will when
they learn that the damage to the
cotton crop alone along the Brazos
and tributaries is convervatiyely
estimated at 100000 bales-nearly
one-eighth Of the entire cotton crop
of Texas Many people believe
that our county has been bentitted
that is the conditions at present
are better than before the rain,
while others hold contrary views.
Be that as it may, the fact remains
that lands were considerably wash
cd and many small farms on the
creeks overilowed and the crops
were damaged. The greatest fear
was for cotton, many believing that
il would "scald," but the cool,
cloudy weather aud moderate winds
have about knocked this bugaboo
out and at present indications are
most favorable for a big yield of
cotton this fall. Corn, the county
over, has not been damaged. Old
corn may have been damaged to a
certain extent but young corn has
been greatly benefited and will
make a good yield. We still con-
tend that Madison county will
have all the corn necessary 10 run
the county and that the prospects
for a good crop Of cotton is promis-
ing.

A statement in the Galveston

the effect that about $1,000 had
been received for the flood sufferers
and was amply sufficient, attracted
attention of Brazos bottom planters
who reside here and have farms in
Burleson counoy. Messrs. Milton
Paker and VIM. Hoppe were seen
by the reporter and they estimate
that 5000 acres Of the Brazos
bottom in Burleson county, from
Moseley's Ferry to the Yegua
river was under water; 80 per cent
of the crops Of all kinds have been
destroyed, and there are 1000 peo.
pie IN the territory mentioned
destituieand without employment.
They say that when the facts are
known that il will be found that
Burleson county is one Of the
heaviest losers from the late flood.

Houston Heard. June 81.

Houston Hearld, June 2l.
Evangelist John l.. Andrews Of
the Christian church preached one
of the strongest sermons he has
yet preached last night, his subject
beidg the death Of Abner, from the
text, 2nd Sam, 1888. "Died
Abner as u Fool Dieth.n lie
first pictured Eden in all Of its
beauty and our fore.parents in all
their happiness. The scene was
then changed and he pictured the
world as it is today, engulfed in
sin. He showed that sin was the
cause of all pain and misery; that
the aims houses, house Of refuge,
recue homes, orphanagos, jails,
penitentiaries, drug stores and
cemeteries were the fruit of sin,
and that man by one step of dis.
obedience fell so far that it was
twenty-five hundred years before
he could receive a law, and that
the Mosaic law was an imperfect
law, which was only a schoolmaster
to bring us TO Christ. He then
showed the foolishness of Abner in
stepping outside of one ofthe cities
Of refuge, Hebron, with his most
mortal emmy, Joad, and compared
foolishness TO those Of this time
who step aside from. the paths Of
virtue and truth into the byways of
sin with their worst emmy, Satan.
At the close Of the service. when
the invitation was entended, four
came forward and made the con.
fession and will be baptized next
Sunday night. The interest is
snch that the time for closing the
meeting can not be stated, but il
will probably last several weeks
yet. No evangelist who has ever
visited the city has more complete.
ly captured his audience than has

We Won't Trade.

The two highwaymen that four Port
land detectives failed to capture, when
the miscreants were corraled ina room
were captured on road in an open
country, without help, by one Wasco
county deputy sheriff named Howell.
It is improbable that Wasco county
would entertain q proposition to trade
off Mr.. Howell for job lot of detec-
tives.-Portland Telegram.
The people of Wasco are not
anxious to trade Mr. Howell for a job
lot of Portland detectives. 1t would
take whole carral full of them to be
worth as much as Howell. When he
goes after man he gets him, and that
cannot be said of the Portland detec-
tiyes. 1t would be good investment.
however, for Portland to turn off
about half its police force and hire Mr.
Howell to fill the places they now
hold. He would answer for a hal
dozen city police.
