UP To THE LEGISLATURE.

President H. II. Harrington o,
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College has issued the preliminary
report OF The board Of directors GOV.
ering the fiscal years I9o5-Ioo6,
and setting forth the amount need
ed for new buildings, improvements
and maintenance for another two
years. A careful reading of this
report discloses two significant facts
to the credit OF the administration
under Doctor Harrington-frst.
that the appropriations made by
the last legislature have been ex-
pended with the greatest care aud
economy for the best interests of
the institution and its students; Sc
condly, that the amounts asked OF
the present legislature are so reas-
enable and the urgent need of
every sum SO clearly set forth tina
there should be no hesitancy in ap.
propriating all or even more than is
asked. The entire showing of the
work for the past two years bears
the stamp Of fidelity to this great
trust and ability and superior judy
ment IN its execution. There is
no shadow of extravaganza, loose
ness or corruption, every character
of Improvement for which money
was expended is clearly set forth,
the progress, increase in attendance,
widening field Of activities, new
buildings and new departments
needed, are all dealt with in that
clear, concise and convincing way
which carries conviction that 4 gem
uine love OF the great trust COM
mitted to them actuates the men in
charge of this institution. Some of
the amounts asked for may appear
at first glance large, but when con-
sidered in connection with the fast
increasing demand for the technical
training OF young men-much
greater than ever before and far in
excess of existing room aud equip
ment to meet it-they will look
really small, If Texas is to keep
abreast of progress and have
great chronological training school
in which the people can take Just
pride. The facts aud figures in the
preliminary report submitted by
President Harrington aud the board
Of directors are explained more in
detail in the separate reports of the
departments of the Agri-
and, Mechanical College.

THE WEST END

Benton Township, April lst '0T.
Dear Editor--I have just about
completed the circle Of Benton
township and expect all FOOLS day
will conclude. On Wednesday
morning | left on route two, as the
carrier goes | went down Queen
creek until | reached Salt creek,
and crossing went up as far as
Blue creek to the residence of E
Z Kennedy, where | reversed and
came back TO Salt creek, following
it down until | rea ached Purity run
road. Following up the stream
until reached Slagels where
turned to the left and followed up
small tributary until reached
Turner's store, thence | took over
the hills and along The ridges un-
til | reached the end of the route.
The damage done by the recent
food along Salt creek was some
thing fierce and | undertake to
give the damages in dllsrs and
cents, just as they occurred along
the route. The creek was higher
by 6 feet, some places it was high
as feet, higher than eyer known
before. The roads were almost
entirely obiterated, large trees
were uprooted and carried down
tire stream The bottoms almost
entirely ruined, stables, corn cribs
chicken coops, pig pens, hay
stacks, corn fodder and fences
were carried down the stream
ties, telephone polls and timber,
Of immense value were flooded off
Horses, cows, pigs, chickens, geese
were drowned. Potatoes, grain |
ana feed in houses and barns
We're Hooded and ruined. !

There are four general stores in
the town, Chilcote Bros, Hender'

II very satisfactory business.
Two physicians, Drs. MeleheI

care of all the sick in the neigh
borhood. They both enjoy very
satisfactory patronage.
Geo. w. Dennis, tae tonsorial
artist, has just about az much as
he can do. He limits his time to
two days, Wednesdays and Satur-
days, He shaves you while you
wait.
S. r. Mattocks, blacksmith and
wagon-maker, though sometimes
taxed beyond his capacity, is just
about able to transact all the busi-
ness in this line in the neighbor-
hood.
The millers, Stevens d Waltons,
have an extraordinary hattering
AID lucrative trade, They are
both jolly, genial gentlemen and
have the respect and confidence of
the entire community.

structed of "something, " the cask-
ct was an -todate, steel burglar

piece was engraved "loof lirpa"-
as interpreted by Benjamin Set
ties, member Of Co. T.. 65th o.
V. l., and the hero of many bat
ties, "April Fool!" Then again,
his description Of man and dog
were incorrect. The man was Z
feet and inches tall, and of
course could not have occupied a
6x4 casket. Besides, the dog, as
large as a yearling calf, laid
across the bottom, over his feet.
Now, how could they both occupy
a 6x4 box? Then again, it was
not gun that lay by his side, but
sabre, on the handle was en-
graved "Jeff Davis-l86l." So
you see your G.. c., scribe was
completely off. Had he been an
astute and careful correspondent
he would have discovered inscrip-
tions on all four sides of the man,
thusly-on his front side was in
scribed "Absolom Hart, nth o.
v -, on his right side was in
scribed civilian Anderson, S0th
o. Y. IL, On Lis left side,
George Reed, 14th O. V. l." and
ON the back was engraved a copy
of one of the thousand dollar
Hooking county pike bonds. Had
ii not been for the latter inscrip-
tlon, it might have been intended
for soldiers monument, but as it
il, what does it indicator We be
lieye in giving honor to whom
honor is due, and il there is any
thing due to South Bloomingville,
South Bloomingyllle should have
the credit. The dog being already
very dead, we consider il very un-
wise to disturb him. Let him rest
n peace.
But putting all this aside,
Bloomingyille is one OF the most
active little towns in the county.
Il has 250 active inhabitants, has
! good market and there is plenty
If work. II has one church,
