Chico, Texas, September 24, 1879.
To the Editor of the Democrat,.
Weather still warm and dry.
Grasshoppers innumerable destroying
the late cotton, but they are leaving fast.
Cotton picking, hauling and ginning,
going on in our country at a hasty rate.
The good accommodations and fine
sample made at Youngblood's gin brings
the cotton from far and near. To-day his
gin was crowded with wagons that came
from one to twelve miles.
The people are preparing their cotton
tor the Fort Worth marke t, where we be
lieve they will get the highest market
price for their cotton, and buy their, sup-
plies at bed rock prices. Fort Worth can
pay as much for cotton as any other mar-
ket in northwest Texas.
The time for seeding will soon be here
and find the farmers unprepared; no
wheat in the country that is fit for seed*
unless Fort Worth has it, if so, we can
get it there.
Chico has been blessed for the past six
weeks with protracted meetings—only
five different pursuasions. All have or
ganized congregations, but not a church
house in our town. The meetings are all
closed now. Can we not build a church
house for winter? Come, stir up, good
people! We have one of the best school
houses almost completed in northwest
Texas, let us have some good churcli
house, but save two dollars for the Demo-
crat and quit borrowing your neighbor’s
The dry weather has caused some of
our farmers to sell their homes and go
back to their wife’s people expecting to
find lelief, but let ’em go if they think
there ain’t no hereafter.
Chico is filled with live energetic men
and so also is the country by which it is
surrounded. There are six business
houses in our town and all do a fair bus-
iness.
Dr. Blanton is building a new residence
which will add to the appearance of our
town.
The Democrat readers of Chico are all
anxious to see which of them will get
that new top buggy. Yours truly,
Billy Boy.

Sure and sate in its action, its great power

equaled by its harmless action on the body.
No disagreeable after effects from this

That your grocer gives you

Some grocers in this city
in order to increase their
vrofit will give you very
poor imitations of Wrisley’s
linen soup.
Examine the bars you re-
ceive, and see that each one
l ears the name of Wrisley’s
linen soup, or you may be
imposed upon, 7-6-tf
The Kell Punch.
The proprietors of twenty-eight saloons
in Dallas have signed the following agree-
ment, in anticipation of the enforcement
of the bell punch law:
We. the undersigned, saloon men of the
city of Dallas, wiil, from and alter 1st day
of October, 1879, pledge ourselves and our
word ot honor not to sell any spirituous
wines or fancy drinks less than fifteen
cents per drink, we being obliged to take
the above step in order to protect our-
selves from the heavy taxes imposed upon
us by the bell punch law.
In Galveston, Houston, San Antonio,
and other points in the southern portion
of the state, the saloonists are forming
themselves into an association for the pur-
pose of resisting the law by legal means,
and signify their determination to meas-
ure strength with the authorities before
they will permit the registers to be used
in their houses. In New Braunfels the
liquor dealers have resolved to buy the
bell punch and place it on their counters,
but will refuse to turn the crank, suggest-
ing that the governor or some of the men
who passed the law be delegated to per-
form that duty.
We have talked with some of our prom-
inent saloon keepers on this subject and
find that while, as a general thing, they
sympathize with the movement and are
of the opinion that some organized resis-
tance should be made, no step has yet
been taken on their part in that direction.
There seems to be a lack ot confidence on
the purt of some, who are distrustful that
all the freternity of saloonists would not
hold together, and that for pecuniary con-
siderations some one would fail to come
up to the “sticking point.” We arc not
prepared to say what would be the result
of a legal contest over this question, and
will await the decision of the courts belore
expressing an opinion.
Political Meeting.
As heretofore announced; in these col-
umns, a grand political discussion lias
been arranged lor in this city, at the court
house, next Tuesday night, when the
merits and demerits of the two promi-
nent political'orgaiiizatious in this state,
will be thoroughly sifted and ventilated
by prominent and able speakers. Hon.
Olin Wellborn, congressman from this
district, will represent the Democracy,
and Gen. Hauunan, late candidate for
governor on the Greenback ticket, will
defend that cause. It is supposed that
other prominent lights of both parties
will be present, and favor the public with
their views. Col. Wellborn and General
Hamman are both well versed in the po-
litical history of the country, and fine
speakers. Ali who take an interest in po-
litical matters, and desire to listen to an
interesting debate, should be in attendance
Tuesday night, and we venture to • say
the occasion will bring out the largest
audience that has ever congregated within
the halls of our temple of justice.
A BARTENDER TO HIS SWEETHEART.
I’m writing now, ray lovely Sue,
Beside a smoking toddy,
To say that 1 belong to you
In spirit and in body.
I yearn to praise your eyes so fair,
Those orbs as brown as sherry,
And tell you that your rippling hair
Hath hues like “ Tom and Jrrry.”
Your wit pops up like ginger beer,
’Tis varied as a tulip ;
And your delicious breath, my dear,
Is sweeter than a julep.
Your seraph voice is like the clink
Of forty silver zithers,
And it is just as sound, I think,
As Angostura bitters.
\ ou know I’ve sworn to loye you long,
But words we will not bandy :
I simply state that love is strong,
Yes, quite as strong as brandy.
Take pity on the fluttering heart
Your eyes have filled with gashes ;
I cannot stand sly Cupid’s dart
As I stand whiskey smashes.
Life unto me without thy face
Hath neither taste nor odor;
’Tis tame, and flat, and commonplace,
Like seltzer or plain soda.
Alas! 1 dream of you so much,
I think of you so madly,
That I begin to lose my touch,
And mix my cocktails badly !
I make my sangarees so weak
That they would vex a Quaker !
Last Right I let a beer-keg leak.
And lost my silver “ shaker! ”
I have forgotten all the laws,
~L’m always making blotches ;
lserve my cobblers with straws,
And nutmeg in my “ Scotches. ”
In fact, if by your proud disdain,
I’m lelt without a guider,
I soon will lose my mighty brain,
And serve “ stone ience ” for cider!
For grim despair each dismal night
Comes down upon me thicker,
And oh, sweet Sue, if you don’t write
I’ll have to take to liquor!

Font Play Suspected.
Mr. A. D. Rust, a well known farmer
and geologist living about seven miles
from this city, on the Granbury road, left
his home on the 13th of this month for
Belle Plaine and has not been seen nor
heard of since. His friends and relatives
are apprehensive that he lias met with
foul play on the route, as lie had consider-
able money on his person, thinking per-
haps to embark in the newspaper business
in some western town where the outlook
was most favorable. He has heretofore
been most punctual in his writing while
away from home, and remarked as lie lelt
his lamily on this trip that he would drop
them a line at every available opportunity,
and his protracted silence now, is unac-
countable and unexplanable.
Rust is a man of about forty years,
some live feet eight inches in height, light
complexioned, blue eyes and very gray
hair. He wears no beard. Any informa-
tion of him will be most graciously re-
ceived by his distressed family.
