Onr Condition.
There never has been a time in the
history of the Abilene country when
the farmers were in better condition
than they are now. The feed crops
are enormous. Thousands of cattle
will be fed here and sent to market
rolling fat and the number ' of hogs
fatrelied 'his fall will be 100 per cent
greater than that of any previous year.
The cotton crop .will reach almost as
rrnny bales as last season and the in-
come from it in this market will
amount tp nearly a half million dollars
against hatf that amount last year.
The recent rains have put soaking
seasons in the ground and wheat wil
get the best start it has had since the
fall of 1890 which was followed in
1891 by the largest small grain crops
ever harvested in the Abilene country.
Besides these specially favorable con-
ditions the farmers and stockmen find
their pasture lands covered with the
finest mesquite grass they have had in
ten years and the cattle grazing be re
are now ready for the market get in as
good condition as range cattle ever do.
Summing the whole situation up
the outlook is cer'ainly very bright for
the people of this country. Prosperity
has once more taken the place of hard
times; where a year ago there was a
frown there is now a smile. "Betsy
and the childrrV Lave new frocks the
snu-ke hou r uili be filled with splen-
did home grwwu meats and the family
table bountifully supplied with whole-
some food nearly every bit of which
was grown on the farm. Fruits have
been preserved cane made into syrup
wheat and corn into fljur and meal.
The merchant is happy too for his
collections are good; the farmer is
happy because he is able to pay his
bills. The mechanic firids ready em-
plo)ment and the laborer is busy in the
cotton fields
Surely the Abilene country is at the
head of the procession once more.
Cotton.
The shipment to date amounts to
1300 bales and there is something like
1000 bales on hand. Since the heavy
rains the cotton does not come up to
the standard of the first that was
marketed but it is selling readily at

Frank Chamberlain Bead.
The many friends of Frank Cham
berlain in this and adjoining counties
will regret to learn Of his death which
occurred at Houston Texas after a
brief illness a few weeks since. Mr.
Chamberlain while living in Jones
county was interested in the cattle
business. He came here in 1884 a
short time after leaVing college and
though a way down east "tenderfoot"
he soon surrounded himself with a cir-
cle offriends among all classes He
was brave daring and generous and
could stick to a bucking Mustang as
closely as any old-time cow boy. The
boys took him into full fellowship and--would
ride as far .and work as hajd to-
recover one of Frank Chambeilam's-
steers as they would for a steer for any
other cow mari.
Here in Abilene Mr Chamberlain-
wa:
well and favorably known- He -
was a general favorite with the young
people all of whom join the Reporter
n expressions of the deepest sympa-
thy to his aged mother in her far dis-
tant eastern home.
The f jllowing is taken from a Bos-
ton paper:
