Beevilie, Texas, October 2s.-Farmer W.
A. Clatks lecture at the opera house last
night on the art Of Making Good But
ter" was listened to by large and well
pleased audience. AS plain, practical
horse sense" farmer, PROT" Clark has
few equals and no superiors In Texas. He
has spent many years digging out what he
knows about farming, dairylng, gardening,
etc, and while he can not present the great
fund Of useful information he has ready az
hand In tho smooth, easy style OF Inc col
lego bred lecturer, he can present II In
way 10 interest and entertain his hearers.
He speaks with that assurance OF the cor
rectness OF his statements always manifest
ed by those who speak from knowledge
gained by experience.
Mr.. Clark has been engaged In succesEful
butter making for about twenty years, aud
his hutter has reputation second to no
other butter made by a single individual In
the State. He had samples Of his butter
ana cream with him last night, and also
samples OF butter secured from the local
groceries He showed the difference be-
tween thesp-that IS between good and bad
butter, and easily convinced both the butter.

/ He encouraged dalrylng IN an intelligent

| that over $4,000 worth OF butter and other
| stun used Ia its stead were shipped into
! the State every year ought 70 convince the
| farmers that there was a market for theiI
product right here at home. He said that

| the standard OF this century he must be

/ but IN the practical parts of farming and
| those things that are to be done on and

meuts, study aud the use Of brains.

Rose, and he was not captured. There
was not a single one surrendered. The
Texans numbered about eighty-slx or 100.
While the Mexlcans numbered G000; they

stole near the Texans camps and told
the Mexican officers what small number
of men the Texans had. They attacked
the Texans at sunrise on the morning Of
