4 LETTER FROM 6. B. JOHNSON

De-Leoa Texas. MT Editor of the Picayune and friends of old Nevada;
 will write you short letter, as 1 have never done such a thing before in my life.
 We are now having one of the worst blizzards of winter.
 Every thing covered with sleet and snow and the wind coming from the north at about 90 to nothing.
 I heard the other day that J. F. Shell of Emmet Ark. was out hear in this western country trying to sell those old walking drum cotton planters. There must be somthing wrong with Jim. Those things have been out of date in this country for fifty years Jim's friends out in old Arkansas had better watch him for awhile.
 Most of the farmers are done breaking land and corn planting will be in full force by the first of March, if favorable. Some few have already planted. It is generally supposed that the oat crop is materially damaged by the recent severe cold weather.
 Yours, Respectful.
 C. B. Johnson.

j. 1, STUART.

The above named gentleman is a candidate for cotton weigher of this county subject to the dem- ocratic primary to be held the 30; of March.
 Mr. Stewart is a native of this county and has always been an ardent worker for his party but has never asked for an office be- fore. He has had considerable experience in handling cotton, having run a gin in Boughton Township for six years. He is strictly honest and is in every way competent to fill this place.
 He will give the matter of weighing cotton his personal at tention and promises nothing but a square deal to every one inter- ested. You could not select a more suitable person for this position than Mr. Stewart.
 Give his claim due considera- tion when you go to vote in the coming primary.
