bohemian ad,udved Insane.

| Antoine Vvorak, a Bohemian. wa
! brought to Waxahachie yesterday
from the Ennis country and tried in
the county court on charge OF
lunacy. After hearing the evidence
the jury returned a verdict, adjudg-
ing the native of Bohemia to be of
unsound mind. His confinement in
one of the states insane asylums was
recommended.
The unfortunate man was accom-
panied to Waxahachie by four or five
relatives and friends. Bohemians
are said to be very affectionate to
each other, and this emotional char
acteristic was put to a test at the jail
after the trial OF Nyorak. When
Sheriff Minnick started with him to
a cell his relatives wept like children.
They begged the officer TO permit
Vvorak TO return home with them,
to bring him back to
WaXahachie Monday morning or de
liver him to the sheriff at Ennis to
be taken from there 10 the asylum
at Terrell Sheriff Minnick kindly
granted their request and they left
the Jail in an apparently happy frame
of mind

A Successful Farmer.


Mr. George Wilson, Of Castle Haven, who
recently purchased the Garden ui Eden
farm, near Trayers Wharf. has made the most
complete success Of farming on IA small scale
that We have ever heard OF IN this county or
any other. With only four or five acres OF
land on which to exercise his talents be has
managed to make his farm pay him i net
revenue not secured by some men farming two
hundred. Mr.. Wilson has made an especial
success of peach growing, his crop last year
having uetted him over thousand dollars
II is true that he has had an exceptionally
favorable location for his trees, bat we are
told that be was the first man in his section to
begin spraying his trees, so that much of his
success can be readily attributed TO his being
up.to.date in his methods and ready to learn
the latest and best ways Of doing things.
Mr.. Wilson has been a very hard working
man and when he has not been able to find
something to DO in one field of labor be has
sought another. By the sweat of his brow he
has earned the wherewithal to purchase the
splendid farm, named for that garden of old
from which man was driven to earn his living
by toll and labor. Few of us can toll so sue
cessfuliy as to atone SO fully for the mistakes
u our first ancestor.

Highest Priced Rooster.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Missouri hog which sold for s., 600 has
a rival now in a Missouri rooster, which sold
for $780, This is the highest price ever paid
for a rooster in the history of the State. Some
breeders of fine poultry-H. p. Mason, Of
Fayette; Chas. G. Miller, of Boonvile; Charles
Opel, of Jefferson City, aud R. P. Thompson,
of Sturgeon-have given high prices for fine
roosters. As high as $500 has been paid on
occasion, but it remained for William Miller,
of Crescent, to pay $500, the top price. The
rooster is of the White Plymouth Rock variety,
and in various State shows has distanced all
its competitors The poultry interests of Mis-
souri, are preparing to move on the next Gen
eral Assembly for legislation and appropria-
ton. The last session of the General Assem-
bly, made an appropriation for the purpose,
but Governor Folk vetoed it upon the ground
that the bill was unconstitutional. 1t is now
believed that bill can be drawn that will not
be unconstitutional, and that through the pouI =.
try association the interests of the Missouri
hen and rooster will be protected aud encour-
aged. AT the same time the poultrymen plan
to ask for course in poultry raising at the
Missouri Agricultural College.
