Texas Letter

Editor Record. Through yo"~
valuable paper ] wish to make a
few remarks.
Twill say in the beginning ChatI
love the name Of old Arkansas,
and still more do l admire the
good people that reside in the
same. On my recent visit I met
e great many Of my old friends
and visited quite a number, and
a good number | did not meet at
all, and | have q high regard for
their future welfare, I am so
Glad that Arkansas has such a
good prospect for q bountiGpl
crop,
When we left Texas June 23rd
the drought seemed to hold her
in its iron grasp, but since we re-
turned found that the drought
had broken with a general rain
nearly all over the state. Texas
will in some parts make two
thirds of q nrOD while other U3rts
are not so good. Some parts Of
Texas, corn will be a fair crop,
while other parts nearly failure IS
the result. The cotton crop in
general will be thirds roi q
crop. While on the plains. the
corn and millet crop will be al
most a failure, other crops such
as Kaffair corn milo maze, and
sorghum will be a good crop if
the season continues favorable.
The prairie look like a wheat
field in the Spring of year grass
green and pretty, cattle fat and
sleek. Health is generally very
good, We have good water, level
country, rich soil, green grass,
lots Of fat cattle and a delightful
climate to live in. For fear that
this will find its way to the waste
basket, III close,
With best wishes to all and
success to the Record,
Jno, j. Simpson,
Plainyiew, Texas.

Suppress Him,

The Chicago Tribune is au-
thority for the statement that in
the northern part Of Illinois there
is an evangelist going about from
church to church on these terms;
Forty dollars a week and fifty
conversions guaranteed or money
refunded" ."
This is quite the reverse Of
creditable to the northern part Of
Illinois. Although possibly less
shameful than the sayagery
which has recently disgraced the
southern section Of that state,
commonly called Egypt, it evil
dences the existence Of conditions
that are quite incompatible with q
high degree Of Christian ciyiLiza-
ton.
One could easily understand
that a man with an Unbalanced
mind, & poor creature who ought
. to be in q sanitarium, might con-
. ceiye Of that plan for getting cash
and notoriety. There are weak
.lings, cranks and frauds in all
professions, the ministry being
mo more exempt than law, modi-
cine, literature or art. There
fore, it would not be in the least
surprising if in any welI-regulat-
cd community some hare Drained
