At Toulon, France, On last Sun-
day twenty deaths occurred from
Asiatic cholera, the news of
which created a panic in Paris.
Commercial circle3 were again
disturbed last Friday, when the
failure of C. K. Garrison, of New
York, for about five million, was
inced.
The New York Democratic con-
vention endorsed Gov. Cleveland,
find it is understood that the dele-
gation to Chicago will be thirty to
one for Cleveland.
The Texas delegation will start
Chicago on the 4th ult., in
sgtaod style, with a full train of
priaee cars. It is understood they
i*nU be for Cleveland since Tilden
te declined.
•John Kelly does not have much
confidence in the Gov. Cleveland
oom. John says that the Cleve-
land boom was simply a mask con-
cealing a boom for Senator-elect
Payne, or Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio.
From that excellent little paper,
the Western, we learn that Jones
county is agitating the question of
building a court house. A good
move. Nothing that this county
I'ver did advertised it so much as
our court house—if it is a "white
elephant.?
At a Blaine and Logan ratifica-
tion meeting, held in Washington
City one night last week, Judge
Sftellabarger, of Ohio, presided
Senator Hawley and John Sher-
man were the principal speakers,
and they not only ratified the
nominations of Blaine and Lo-
gan, but actually accused Blaine
of being "a good man."
Ex-Senator McDonald, of In-
diana, was closeted with Gov.
Palmer, of Illinois, one day last
week. The discussion was in re-
lation to the former's claim to the
presidential nomination. Since
the action of the New York con-
tention, at Saratoga, Governor
Palmer is free and outspoken in
Lis choice for Cleveland.

that' Graham is
fully ten mites south of the geo-
graphical center of the county,
which is about two and a half
miles east of old Fort Belknap.
From Graham the course to
Crystal Falls would be almost di-
rectly southwest, and the same
•course on to Albany. On the en-
tire line the only obstacle of any
importance to overcome would be
bridging the Brazos between Gra-
ham and Crystal Falls. It is a
notorious fact that many seasons
—the dry ones—the Brazos river
at the point named is barely run-
ning for several months at a time,
so there would be plenty of time
to erect necessary piers, &c. This
line was first spoken ol when the
Texas Central was- completed to
Albany and has not been agitated
much recently. Citizens of Alba-
ny, Gainsville, in fact citizens of
the entire route, has not the time
come to stir up the matter? There
is no argument needed to show
the great benefits to*be derived
from such a road. The coal that
would find a quick and easy mar-
ket alone would furnish freight to
insure receipts sufficient to make
it pay from the start. Albany, or
Crystal Falls might then talk of
establishing manufactories. We
were reminded of this subject by
reading an account of a railroad
mee'ing at Cisco on the I4th inst.
which appeared in the Cisdo Tele-
graph of last Saturday.

As the time draws near, Cleve-

talk of nominating Carlisle. Ex-

The above clipping from the St.
Louis Globc-dcmocrat, shows that
Texas is again to the front with
the first new wheat of the season.
This early sale, however, is not
the most noticeable feature of the
transaction. On the market re-
port page of the same paper of
the same date, northern wheat is
quoted at prices ranging from
93 to 98 cents per bushel, while
this Texas wheat brought one dol-
lar and twenty one cents per bushel
The yield this season is expected
to surpass that of all former
years—some farmers calculating
on as high as fifty bushels to the
acre. And yet there are some so.

/DrTW. R. Robinson of Colora
do City, candidate for State Sena-
tor from this the 29th district,
opened the campaign here last
night by a speech at Shields
Opera House. There was a fair
audience who listened to the Doc-
tor's speech with marked atten-
ion. The land lease law received
isevere criticism at the hands of
he speaker. The actions of the
jand Board were condemed in
strong terms, and their construc-
tion of the law which created
them denounced in plain language.
The speaker laid down his plat-
form to be Free Grass, Repeal of
the Lease Law, Abolition of the
Land Board and that all land
watered and unwatered shall be
open to actual settlers. Dr. Rob-
inson is a fluent speaker, used
good language, aud has a fine per-
sonal appearance.
The Fort Worth Daily Gazette
had , a complimentary card pre-
sented to each of the delegates to
the Democratic State convention,
which convened at the Fort on the
11th last, to select delegates to the
convention to be held in Chicago.
The card contains the tabulated
statement of the vote for presi-
dent in 1880, arranged alphabeti-
cally, and the probable vote for
president this year, under the in-
creased apportionment by the cen
sus of 1880, provided the states
should vote in 1884 as each state
voted in 1880. The following is
the compared vote as given by the
Gazette:
- 155 votes in 1880
. 214 " " "
- 173 " " 1884
- 218 " " "
It will be seen there is an in
crease in the electoral college,
making in all 401 votes, and ne-
cessary for a choice 201, if the
majority rule is to prevail in the
National convention.
To Col. J. A. Poage, delegate
from Shackelford county, we are
indebted for the card referred to
above./jw,

THE ALBANY HOTEL COMPANY
Organized this week with a
pital stock of ten thousand dol-
lars. The following are the
stock-holdcrs. J. . R. Fleming,
R. E. McAnulty, W. R. Moore,
Thomas Maloney, T. H. Barre
and S. F. Stinson. This company
is composed of live, go-ahead men,
as evidenced by their actions inside
of 48 hours after organizing. It
purchased the Barnes Hotel, which
includes lots 5,6, 7 and 8 in block
number 2 for $6,000 cash, and a
lot 100 ft.xIOO ft in the rear of
the hotel for $250. The latter is
the lot Mr. Barre has had in use
as a peach orchard, and is a de-
sirable addition to the hotel
grounds. R. E. McAnulty, S. F.
Stinson and W. R. Moore, were
chosen directors. Yesterday ap-
plication was made to the De-
partment of state at Austin for a
charter for the new company.
The new company proposes to
build an extension to the hotel at
an early day, and fit it up second
to no hotel in the state. Score
one more for Albany.
O FRUIT PRODUCING COUNTRY.
Last Tuesday Mr. J. S. Chris
tinn, living on the line of Shack-
elford and Stephens county, thro'
the courtesy of Mr. J. Gregg,
placed on our desk a sample of as
nice peaches as it has been our
good fortune to taste this season
The trees upon which these peach-
es grew are but three years old,
having been planted in 1881. We
have seen other specimens of
peaches grown in Albany, which
surpass in size and flavor any yet
offered for sale by the fruit deal-
ers of this place, who have their
peaches shipped from Comanche
and other counties south of us.
The writer remembers how he
was scouted at seven or eight
years ago when he suggested that
Shackelford county was wel!
adapted for fruit-growing. But
as we live we learn.

June 21, Bessie, only child of
A. Josie Qucbedeaux.
She is gone; her laughing blue
eyes have closed to open no more
in this world. Her suffering,
which was so great, is over for-
ever. Her little form lies under
the sod on which beautiful flowers
may bloom, but they cannot rival
in beauty and purity the little in-
nocent that sleeps beneath. It
may seem hard to the heart-broken
parents that God should take their
only darling, but remember that
God has given and the Master has
the right to claim his own. Re-
member, too, that your little dar-
ling is not dead, but only sleep-
ing. The beautiful little flower is
only transplanted from a world of
sin and death to a world of im-
mortality, where it will forever
bloom in beauty in the Eden of
God. A Friend.
Embaraued and Embaratsed.
Snoops was a young man who
has been married a year, and he
was telling a friend how different
he was when single.
"Were you much embarrassed
when yeu'popped the question?' "
asked the sriend.
"Embarrassed? Well I should
say I was. I owed $1,200 for
board and clothes and one thing
or other, and I didn't have a
darned cent to pay it with.—Mer-
chant Traveler.
