Many visitors expressed astonish
ment at seeing such immense pump
kins, ripe and perfect in every way,
as those shown from A. F. Ackley's
farm, and such squashes as those ex-
hibited by E. B. Fowler, of Shaw is

matoes shown also occasioned much
surprise and favorable comment,
many people having thought that
tomatoes would not ripen thoroughly
in this section, except under glass.
Visitors also beheld with wonder the
immense stalks of corn, over ten feet
in height, raised by Weston Rhone,
near Friday Harbor.

BIENNIAL. REPORTS.
All Heads of Departments are At
Work ON Papers.

Austin, Sept, lS.--All OF the heads
OF the departments and the various
state institutions are at work on their
biennial reports, which will soon be
in the hands of the public printer.
The law requires that they be in the
hands of the governor not later than
November /, so that he may know
just what to incorporate in his mes
sage to the legislature, touching the
various branches of the government.
The printing of the reports will no
doubt be somewhat delayed this fall,
owing to the asking for new print
ing bids on the part of the state print
ing board, but it will not be any more
| delayed than in times gone by, as
many of the printed reports are usu-
\ ally from two to six weeks overdue
Many of the reports give promis

N HISTORIC Si'bT
AlNarado hinistr breaches Where
First Church Was built by
His Father.

Corsicana. Sept IS Rev W. T..
Richardson Of Alvarado. who Is q
minister of the Christian church
preached near Corsicana Sunday. Mr.
Richardson's father built the first
house in what is now the thriving lit
Tie city of Corsicana This was in
the fall of 1Si5, siXty-one years ago.
The elder Richardson had travelled
from one of the older states 10 Texas
and one day halted at a small spring
in a grove of small trees on what Is
now West Second avenue and there
built a rude log cabin in which he
lived three or four years The door
of this house was dry buffalo hide.
the animal from which II was taken
having been killed nearby for food
while the work of constructing the
cabin was in progress. Mr Richard
son said that the family had three
pests to contend with during the days
of their residence here-mustang
horses, rattlesnakes and wolves The
mustang or wild horses would corral
their domesticated ones and drive
them Off and often they had great
difficulty in getting them back; the
rattlesnakes were so plentiful that
the family had to watch for them at
every step wherever they went, and
the wolves would kill their cows and
calves right at their door.
The grove of small trees in which
the elder Richardson built his cabin
has been transformed by the lapse of
years into a beautiful grove of state
ly trees covering several acres, and
just in its southern edge and near
the spring from which these early set
Tiers drank, now stands the stately
and substantial, but plain two-story
home Of Hon. Roger c. Mills, and it
is here he has resided for many years.
Here, where the Richardson's killed
buffalo, deer and wild turkey, one
of the states grandest and best men
is spending the declining years of his
eventful life surrounded by all the
comforts of modern civilization
Great changes have been wrought in
these siXty-one years
