fbdtly after Ihe time pet for convening
After devotional exerciaen the progrimme
Mas followed by ;taking up the Duty of fes-
ters to Our Bnudtt}-school Mission Work.
Dr. Lane, of Kmbu, opened the discuuioa.
He suggested that the pastors could be greatly
helped to help the Huuday-school «ork if thay
weie kept informed of the condition of the
voik. Quarterly statements, if made, would
cot cost much, and would prove greatly help
ful. The pastors could lay the information
before their people.
Dr. Bpauldice, of Galveston, suggested that
but little was b. iog doue. as statist! s showed,
and that a systematic division of labjr, thit
all might be reached, was needed.
Rev. Dr. Kit Williams said that so ne pis-
tora w«re built en o very little plan, and that
be heard yesterday that some gave the Sun-
d&y-eihools tbe cold shoulder. Another cla9s
sie jealous, and do not like any on their fields
lett it should take money from tbem Putors
are absent sometimes from the meetings when
wcik is to be done, and one did this nod then
undid afterwaid what the missionary had
dene, and broke up a Sunday-school organ-
ized. It was ntcespary to bring some powor
to I ear on these pastors. But the pastors wore
generally coming up nobly and in increased
cumbers.
Brother Chandler, of Independence, fclljwed
in appropriate suggestions.
Brother Carr. of Calvert, took a pa^uliar
lice Bnd exposed tome methods by following
the side from which they are looked at from
the standpoint of opposes.
1 he committee of conference on consolii.v
tlcn made its report.
After discussion it vraa recommitted with in-
ductions, and when a^ain presented was
adopted unanimously. Tne main poiuts of the
report were that the consolidation of the two
conventions was desirable and practicable
1. That each convtntiou appoint for this
jcaraniqual Lumber of the board of man-
agers.
li The joint board to appoint a general su-'
pirirt«Ddent of Buuday-school work for the
whole State.

6. The consolidated board shall take the cob
stitutions of the two bodies, and suggest such
a revision as will enable us to carry out the

Exercise* at the 8iiiimier Kormnt School
iBPKciAi. to Tn* N*ws.
Brenham, July 11 —The exercises at the
summer normal school fco-day consisted main-
ly of discussions of methods of school disci-
pline and some science work. The discussion
of methods of teaching spelling was animated
and interesting, and while many excellent
suggestions were offered and methods pre-
sented, the opinion seemed to prevail that the
spelling-book, judiciously used, is an impor
tant auxiliary in teaching spelling and Bhould
be commenced in the third primary grade.
1 he discussion of the school law was resumed
and certain amendments suggested.
County Judge Kirk's views relative to trus-
tees of school communities were well received
by the teachers present. The teachers appear
to be quite serious in their discussions, and ex-
pms their convictions freely. Strict parlia-
mentary proceedings are observed, and it poay
teem strange that such formal proceedings do
not embarrass the fair sex, who rise and take
an active part in them.
The principal appointed a committee of six
to propose amendments to the Bchool law for
consideration next week. Also, a committee
of three to confer with boards of trustees de-
siring to employ teachers, and to recommend
worthy applicants. The committee is to act as
n;tc acbeis agency, and its work will be entirely
free and in the interest of the profession.
Thirty minutes were devoted to experi
mental chemistry. Some of the experiment;
were -very interesting, especially those of the
compound blow pipe. Important programmes
have been arranged for next, week's sessions.
One excellent feature of the session's work will
be tbe collection of data for the publication of
a work on the civil government of Texas.
Teachers throughout the district,and all others
w ho can do fo, should co operate with their
professional brethren in the work of the sum
mer normal.

of tbe State, to demand changes aud
pu^geet new laws until money shall ba
bccomeassafe and abundant aa in New Eng-
land, and the water powers of Texas shall be
utilized by manufacturers. For these and
many other reasons the bankers of Texas will
take counsel together from the 23J to the 25th
of July. Banquets, balls, and various other
entertainments will be tendered, and, with the
natural facilities Lampasas has, the bankers
can not help having a delightful time.

RcckpOBT, .July ll—The acreage of crops
iu this vicinity is small at best. This year, as
ccmpareU with last, tbe acreage is about the
tame, but crops of every description are much
inferior as compared with one year ago,owing
to exciss of rain at first, and extreme drouth
when raiu was moat needed.
fanmn county.
Honey Grove, July !l —The condition ot all
croj s Is splendid. The cotton is suffering from
too much rain, but a few days of sunshine will
biing It out all right. Some talk of worm*,
but nothing serious as yet. The acreage of
cotton is 15 per cent more than last year, with
prospects of a better yield.
Corn has an increased acreage of 5 p»r cent,
and prcppects of a yield of from 50 to 75
bushels per acre.
Oats are very fine, and will average from 50
to til) butbels per acre. Oats were damaged
sou e by rain after being cut.
Win fit is splendid; acreage decreased 15 p=r
' ent. '1 he average yield will be from 15 to 20
bushels per acre.
l'OPi>, July 11 —The continued rains have
stopped, and fanners nre bufty saying the
wheat and oats not di-stroyed by the bat
weather. It isei-timated that half of the wheat
and two tbiidsot ihe oats are lost on account
i f the wet went her. It Is reported that th*
w oi dip have made the second appearance, and
i oiug much damage to tbe cocton. Corn Is
extra gocd and promises an abundant yield.
*hill county.
aquii.i.a July 11.—Cotton is at least ten
c'ajs later ibis season than last. Up to ten or
twelve daj s ago the cotton plant was not near
as thrifty as last season, which was caused by
tiring luins resembling water spouts, from
which cause, and the ravages of the carele's
woini, tbe crop lias been damaged about 15
j er cent Tbe increased area planted this
t| ling over last will aggregate, perhaps, 8 per
e i tit. There is ample season in the ground for
coin's peifeet maturity, which insures an
abundant supply for home coutu nption. The
area of increase of tbe present Beasoa exceeds
thatef last by at least 10 per cent. The de-
cretSFd acreage In wheat Is very marked, aul
will not fall far short of 70 per cent., while
that of oats bos been increased about 75 per
cent., will] at least 3 per cent, increase in the
yield of whebt aud a decrease of 12 per cent,
iu the yield of oats Fruits and melons are
very inferior in both quantity and quality, and
are falling far thort of last year's yield.
kinney county.
Dll. Iito, July 11,—Good rains are reported
from eveiy direction, but we have had none in
I'el Rio for some time. However, we are not
dependent upon rains for making crops here,
as we have a fine system of irrtgatiou.
There about (iOOt) acres susceptible of culti-
vation, but only about 200(1 cultivated. The
ciops, composed of corn, oats and hay, are in
excellent condition, aud have beon cut and
turned cut well,
leon county.
Buffalo, July 11 —In the issue of The
SFWScf I be 8th, tbe crop report from this
place tBjs the crop of cotton In our section is
not. so fiocd ss last year. Iu juttice to our
fiction tributary to Buffalo, we will say the
lepcrt in iSKue of 8th is not correct, an i we
vcuch for that all our crops, corn, cotton and
oats are better 50 per cent, than they were
last year; if worms will stay off till the 10th of
nixt month more cotton will be made then
11 ey cBn gather. Tbejreports from Jewettaud
Onkwoods are correct, and Buffalo is between
tbe two places.
most ague county.
Montague. July 11.—The acreage of crops
iu this vicinity is about oub-tlfth greater than
lett year. The crop is in excellent condition,
ami au enormous j ield ii anticipated Tue
titall grain crop about four weeks since give
promiteofan exceedingly fine yiell, but the
inceiBar.t rain has cut it' short about 25 per
cent Tbe cotton crop has suffered to about
the time extent from the worm.
tarrant county.
Crowley. July II —In the crop report from
here 6 few days Hgo it was meant that 30 per
cent, of tne oat crop was damaged so badly by
tbe continued rains it could not be saved by
tbe ben vesters, and not that it was damaged
in the tbock to this extent. Threshers are run-
ning now, and the wheat crop saved will
avtrage twenty bushels per acre. Tnisis bat-
ter then last year. The corn crop, now se
cure d, is very gord. The small acreage n jw
left in cotton, with the return of the worms,
n ales it useless to speculate about this crop
now.
taylor county.
Abilene, July 11.—Increased acreage of
ci ops over lest year in this county is from 250
to SCO per Cf lit. All crops, including cotton,
are fiist class.
wilbarger county.
Vernon, July 11.—The acreage, as com-
pared with last year, is about 150 cent, more
in this county. The yield in small grain crops
will be at leaBt 100 percent, better. I have
never seen better corn and oats anywhere in
Texas. The harvesting has been retarded
sc mew bat by tbe numerous rains in June. Mr.
D. A Turner, an intelligent and progressive
farmer, living near Harrold, says that he
greatly preferB to farm the rich s#ndy soil in
this couuty than the black lands farther east;
that the yield in all small grains is equally as
great. Cotton-planting in this county has
been only experimental as yet; but it is be-
lieved by old cotton-planters that the fleecy
Btaple can be raised with profit. Vegetables
grow to the utmost perfection In all parts of
tbe county ; and ooe can safely say that Wil-
barger has tbe elements that go to make up a
thrifty, energetic, industrious and prosperous
people.
youno county.
Graham, July 11 —Young county continues
to thrive, and tbe rains come with a great de-
gree of regularity. The small grain has near-
ly all been harvested; the acreage and yield
are both greater than last year. Wheat will
make from 15 to 30 bushels per acre, while
oats range from 80 to 120 bushels per acre.
Tbe corn crop is now an assured fact, and
many predict that it will not sell for more
than 25 cents per bushel. But little cotton is
planted in this county on account of tbe want
of transportation.
van zandt county.
Wills Point, July 11 —Crops of all kinds
in Van Zandt county are generally in an un-
usually fine crnditfon. A large crop of corn is
insured in all portions of the county where it
has received proper attention. The small
grain crop is much better than the average,
though it is feared that tbe heavy raias of
June and July have injured it to some extent.
The prospects for the cotton crop are very
flattering. Tbe acreage of crops of all kiuds
is fully 25 per cent, greater than last year.
