taken from the Comanche Chief.
They indicate that the Chief is a
live paper, in a live town and coun-
ty:
“Several wagon loads of wool
went from Camanche to Dallas this
week. Wool growing bids lair eto
become one of our principal sources
of revenue in a few years. Every
day we hear of new sheep ranches
being established in this and ad-
joining counties
Cotton continues to flow into
town daily, and our streets are
crowded with wagons loaded with
the staple, which finds a ready sale
in the seed. Mr. Vernon informs
us that not more than half of the
cotton crop'ol this county has been
sent to market yet.
The farmers of Comanche county
are putting in more wheat this fall
than ever before sown m any one
season. We are glad to sec this,
and also that they are taking more
pains in sowing. The supply of
blue stone has given out in town, the
demand being so great for that arti-
cle for the purpose of soaking grain
before sowing.

all women, including even the wives
of the white officers, who are neV(.r

San Antonio Express: Our latest
advices from the lower Rio Grande
show that the people of that section
are still excited and very unsettled.
The stationing of the frontier bat-
talion along the river in the neigh-
borhood of Rio Grande City is a
wise precaution, though the force is
so small that they could do little
more than give the alarm and act as
skirmish line in case of a movement
