A TRIP THROUGH REFUGK
Edna Tex. July 5.—Your eorm
pondent recently made a trip t
Refugio county, and a few echoe
all along the line may not
amiss. For the past twelv
years I have made frequent trip
between Edna and St Mary’s an cl
taken as a whole, I never sav|r
better crop prospects, and tin
roads while going were excellent

the place where 12 years ago
I crossed Capt. Barc's ferry, 1
found substantial improvements
on its banks in Refugio county
in the shape of store, gin, grist
mill and residences, where notli-|
iug stood when I first entered
Refugio county.

river to the “Mission/' as the
It would have taken three good
reporters and \steen columns of
space to have gotten all of the
personals this week, therefore we
didn't attempt the task.
Andy Brown the black brute
who outraged and murdered a
young Polander woman near
Weser in Goliad county last Mon-
day morning, was riddled with
bullets and instantly killed by a
posse of officers and citizens in
an attempt to effect his capture
in the brush near Yoakum Fri-
day morning.
The disaster which has overtaken
the flooded communities east of
us is without paralel in ourcoun-
try. Many town have been de-
molished and thousands of acres
of the best farm lands in the state
on which was growing fine crops
was swept and the entire crop
destroyed. Nearly every work

St Mary's (the “s'’ being drop-

was once a flourishing seaport of
South Texas, but is now almost
a, “deserted villi age.” Here the
inhabitants live on good air,
salt water baths, and fresh fish
and oysters in the “r” months,
all of which is backed by a sub-

health. Capt. W. B. Diigat and
his son, Allen, are rustlers in the
stock business. I was in such
a hurry to get out of St Mary<s,
for fear of the threatening rain,
that I did not see my old friend
C. F. Leisering, who for about
twenty years has held the office
of county assessor, but I can as-
sure yon that his laugh and grip
would have been the same as of
old. There is no art in his elec-
tioneering miles it is all art. The
grip is the same after election as
the day before.
At the town of Refugio G. P.
Rogers flourishes the knife and
needle at the saddlery business
in tlie same successful manner as
he did the pen and eraser in the.
county clerk's office formely.
“Honest John,” as county Judge
Ryafs is called, gave the same
genial shake; County Treasurer
Rea, who was poring over a vol-
nmn of Blackstone, gave the sa-
lute of old, and I heard constable
Armstrong (one of the Rough
Riders), call court for an exami-
ning trial before Justice Autry.
Justice Autry not' only “regis-
ters” the news of the county, as
the former, paper did, but “Re-
views” the same for the benefit
of his neighbors. But time will
fail me to mention all. Many
substantial and elegant improve-
ments have been made at the
Mission, especially during-the last
three years. Happy Refugio!
Here the cattle graze on her
thousand “lulls,” undisturbed
by the shriek of the locomotive,
and peace and plenty are mani-
fested among all her inhabitants.
Only once before at this season
of the year have I seen the grass
better.
Probably more abstracts of
land titles of Refugio county
have been made than any county
in the const region. There are
four in existance that I can re-
call. Geo. Howard, of Victoria,
has one; James Me Donald, whom
] first met poring over the re-
cords of Bee county, has an other;
it is supposed that he became
rich from it and then bought the
Victoria Advocate. (Me. you need
not read this); G. P. Rogers, of
Refugio county, and your Edna
correspondent each have one.
