LETTER FROM TEXAS.

Editor The Journal:
 I will write asshort sketch from this part of Texas. Health mod erately good and the farmers are very busy planting corn and pre- pairing land for cotton. The planting is about three or four weeks later than is usually the case in this country. We had the hardest winter in many years, so old settlers say. The prospect for fruit and berries is very prom ising at present. Many of our farmers took the diyersihcation fever, and would not sell cotton at g to g cents last October, but would hold 1t and force buyers to give 10 cents. But for the past three weeks they have been pull ing their cotton to the town of Gill mer and selling it for ' and 74 cents. Last fall they could haul three bales to the wagon and now 1t takes a good team to pull two light bales, as there are no good roads in Upshur caunty. would very much like to see old Inde- pendence county, especplally the town of Newark, as it no doubt looks very different to what 1t did seven years ago. It has been that long since l saw the town.

 The many citizens of Newark who have learned to appreciate the excellent telephone service given them by Miss Oracle Hen derson as day operator at the cen tral office will regret to learn that she will resign the position on the first of the month.

 The Batesville Guard says that the records for the spring term of the Independence County Circuit Court which convenes Monday, April 3rd., have been made up and reflect more cases than for some time. The criminal docket shows 112 cases, with probably half dozen more yet to come in. The civil docket is not quite as large as that of the fall term, there being only 45 cases, with probab- ly five or six yet to be added. Several cases to be tried at the coming term will likely consume considerable time and the term of court will probably be longer than for several terms.
