modate them? They will do their share.
They seem to prefer Fort Worth as their
market to any of the competing points.
The recent rains are doing cottton a
“power of good,” and as Texas soil has
many recuperative qualities, the crop will
be more than has been expected of it, and
many a bale of Brown county' cotton will
be sold in Fort Worth this season.
The people here, in town and country,
all seem to have something to do, and a
disposition to do it, All are busy and
necessarilly prosperous. Brown has a
wide reputation and is worthy of all she
enjoys.
I have much more to say, but the length
of this article admonishes me that I must
desist for a season.

Brownwood, August 14, 1879.
Were I to attempt to write of all l have
seen since my last epistle, it would con-
sume more space than could well be spared
on such an unimportant subject. To tell
of the game I have bagged, the finny
tribe I have angled for, and the antelope
I have not killed, to say nothing of the
country I have traversed, the magnificent
scenery I have viewed, and the warm-
hearted frontiersmen I have met, and
whose kindness I have enjoyed, would
fill a volume ; hence, I will deter it until a
more auspicious occasion—defer it lor fu-
ture articles—and confine this epistle to
BROWNWOOD,
which the readers of the Democrat know
is the centre of the vast gold and silver
mining region, of which much has been
said and written during the last few
months.
I have not come into possession of much
of the silver, except such as is embellished
with the American eagle and the goddess
of liberty ; but that is no reason that it
does not exist. Some of the people here
have faith in its existence, and are employ-
ing tfieir capital and energies in “going
for it.” The shaft is being sunk, and will
be of great benefit, inasmuch as it will
provide a good well,it it does not develop
a mine. But I must leave this topic for
those more conversant with its merits.
Brownwood is the
BEST TOWN IN THE WEST,
so far as my observation and ability of
judging goes, and grows continually and
steadily as the country settles and devel-
ops, and seems in no hurry to outstrip the
surrounding, which accounts for its solid
ity and substantial character.
The business men all seem contented
and prosperous, and n© vacant houses are
placarded “for sale,” or “rent,” which, ol
itself is a healthy indication. Of the
LEADING BUSINESS HOUSES,
I may mention those of Smith & Steffens,
Gilbert & Knight, the McMinns and Crum
& Gaither, all of whom are live, enterpris-
ing business men. In the drug line, West
& Bradshaw make the best appearance.
There is a tine bar here and the lawyers
are all resting from their labors after the
close of an arduous term of the
DISTRICT COURT,
which adjourned yesterday.
I may remark parenthetically, that I ar-
rived “just in time to be too late” to hike
part in the interesting proceedings of this
tribunal. The “oh, yes ! oh,yes! the hon-
orable district court is now adjourned un-
til court in course,” had hardly ceased to
reverberate through the temple of justice,
and the portly form of the judge was still
visible in the eastern limits of the town,
when I drove in. 1 was;sorry, too, tor a
dozen or more of the good men ot Fort
Worth had signed an instrument of writ
ing,saying I would be here sooner. It was
called an “appearance bond,” I believe,
and 1 regretted to disappoint them and
put them to the trouble of answering a
scire facias—whatever that may be The
cause of all is a
LIBEL SUIT.
Without which no reasonably good news-
paper can hope to prosper, or even to
exist. The Democrat has a double-barrel-
led one—one on the criminal docket, where-
in the “peace and dignity of the state ot
Texas” has suffered irraparable injury,
and the other on the civil docket, in which
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
seems the only “safe, sure and reliable
specific” for the injuries Sustained by the
good name, fame and reputation of one
Smith, the person aggrieved. I had only
taken about four thousand and seven hun-
dred subscribers to the Democrat on my
trip, and after paying for the fish-hooks
and gun powder consumed, had but about
nine thousand dollars about my person,
and knew it would be useless to approacli
an individual, who rejoiced in the eupho-
nious appellation of Smith, and who pos-
sessed ten thousand dollars’ worth of
injured character and reputation, with so
insignificant a sum. I desisted out of
deference to his melancholy situation;
for it is sad to see a man’s reputation in
jured, his prospects blighted, and a gloom
cast over his future by the “power of the
press”—I mean the “power press.”
have been garnished in an informal ex-op
cio manner, by thirty-seven men who want
some ot the money that I am going
pay Smith.
That, name Smith has caused a heap of
trouble in this country. I remember read
ingin the geogrophy about one John
Smith creating some disturbance in Vir-
ginia in the early settlement of the state,
and it seems to have descended to the
Smith family from generation to genera-
tion until the present day. Somehow ox-
other it follows the name like
“The fight for freedom once begun.
Descends from bleeding sire to son.”
But I mustn’t write more ot this as it
may be used against me The lawyers
will call it “matter of aggravation,” but
I am not much aggravated about it—not
as much as Smith seems to be.
Brother Martin, of
THE BANNER,
is off on his annual junketing tour. He
takes as many trips a year as President
Hayes. He must be a railroad inspector,
or a post office examiner, or a national
bank officer, or something of that kind,
else he could not afford to spend so much
money in travel. He left the Banner in
charge ot Mr. Mickel, who will look to
his interest during the absence of “Old
Bill.”

Tlie Democrat, as Usual, will Appear
September 1st, Greatly Enlarged
Containing- a Condensed Re-
view of the East Year.
As has been the custom heretofore with
the Democrat, we will on the first of
September next issue a tremendous edl
tion.
The labor necessary in the publication
of the paper, such as is contemplated and
planned, has been already commenced. It
is proposed to make it invaluable to all
business men and citizens interested in
the growth and prosperity of Fort Worth.
ten thousand copies
of this extraordinary edition will be
printed, and our pations and the public
at home and abroad are notified that only
such advertisements as are specially order-
ed will be inserted. The lowest possible
rates will be made to those who may
want to bring their business and calling
before the people at home and abroad ; no
more appropriate or better opportunity
will ever be afforded than that ot this
our
YEARLY REVIEW.
It is intended to reflect in compact form
the general business of the city for 1878
and 1879, embracing every line of business
and will further exhibit the facilities that
our city enjoys for transacting the trade of
the country contiguous to Fort Worth,
j [In this enterprise, which will be attend-
ed with the outlay of considerable labor
and expense, we look to the co-operation
of every business man, as the publication
will certainly result beneficially to the
interests identified with the growth and
hopes of the Young Giant. Orders for
space and extra copies must be handed in
early, not later than the twenty-tilth, to in-
sure good locations for “ads.”
