Porter and myself chartered a vehicle,
and leisurely proceeded to the battle
field. Before leaving Denison we met
the genial Capt. Tot* Cashion. “What

“Not so bad; up to noon lost four acres;
think the rain has dawned them out.”
On our coming si* miles from Denison
we met with Dr. Frazier. “How are the
prospects, Doctor?" “Not as bad as re-
ported; have lost me-half of my crop;
but "will goto work IK re-plant; as long as
there is life there t* hope. A good
moral lesson to iMjners—never spend
voar ininij MilpMpthf wait tMt you
have made it. Wilt nave plenty oi cotton
to bring to Denison.” We bid the Doc-
tor adieu, and felt somewhat encouraged.
Not proceeding very far, we saw in the
distance a living mass moving to and fro.
We felt that the destroying reptile was
moving toward us. I made a motion to
strike camp, but friend Porter, who
knows no tear, said, “ V'eitigia nulla re-
tro r sum" (no footstep backward), so we
proceeded slowly towards the enemy, and
behold, it Was the nevertiring Col. Lock-
miller in charge of an army of road-
workers, all of them hard at work with
scrapers, plows and axes, and all of them
feeling cheerful. Among them we found
quite a number of prominent farmers
and elicited the desired information.
“Capt. Lockmiller, how are the pros-
pects ?” “Very poor, yet not discourag-
ed; all of my neighbors have suffered
more or less, but will not despair; all
will re-plant if cotton seed can be had.”
“Mr. A. G. Noble, what are the pros-
pects, and how do you feel?” “Quite
gloomy, I thank you. They gave me fits,
vet the country is safe. I have bought
my seed, and will re-plant at once.’’
Tom Gutchell—“Not as bad as report-
ed ; will proceed to re-plant. It is not all
gold that glitters, judging from the bright
prospects last week compared with to-
day, yet plenty of time to re-plant.”
Ms. Kennedy thinks it is a good joke on
the merchant^as well as on the grocers
Lost five acres, but will re-plant at once
if seed can be had.
Messrs. Dismukes—Prospects not dis-
couraging. The worm paid their farm a
flying visit, and have, as yet, only held a
preliminary meeting. Don’t believe in
crying before you are hurt. Some of
our neighbors suffered some loss, but all
will re-plant.
Fred Wilson, the genial, jovial Fred—
Not much hurt; commenced chopping
out right in the face of the enemy, and
as fast as he chopped the worm would eat.
Knowing the weakness of the worm never
to molest any cotton where there is grass
and weeds, he laid down the hoe and
sang, “Good bye, my cotton, good bye.”
Frank Thompson—Not much hurt; in
good spirits; a strong believer In the three
E’s, Energy, Enterprise and Elbow-
grease, will accomplish anything.
Mr. Richie—Lost some, but will re-
plant; in good spirits; not to be dis-
couraged.
Williams—Prospect fair; no immedi-
ate cause for alarm; stand good for a
three-quarter crop.
Last, but not least, we halted in front
of the Porter Mansion. A pleasjmt smile
greeted us from Mrs. Porter. We were
ushered through the hall to the front
porch, and felt at home, and how could
we feel otherwise. A romantic home and
fireside, justly deserving the name of
“Garden spot of Eden.” Having re-
freshed our inner fountain with some
native wine (In Vino Veritas), we pro-
ceeded with our inquest.
“Judge Porter, we came to see you and
get your candid opinion of the cotton
worm.”
Judge Porter—“Gentlemen, the worm
is here; no use to deny existing facts.
From reports in this vicinity fully fifty
per cent, of the crop is destroyed, yet
there is no great cause for being alarmed
or discouraged. Where there is a will,
there is a way.The majority of my neigh-
bors are in good spirits, and willing to
re-plant. I have plenty of seed left, and
feel confident that if properly managed,
cotton planted up to June 10 will come
up all right. Am firm believer in the
Deity, and knows that God helps those
who "help themselves. As yet I have suf-
fered but very little, but if "they give me a
call I will do as my neighbors, re-plant
and be happy.”
Opinion 0? Mrs. Porter—“We are not
so much alarmed at the cotton prospect,
as we are on the road question. For fifty
years we have lived here, and enjoyed a
quiet, comfortable home, and never saw
the time but what we cjuld travel unob-
structed to any point within a circuit of
twenty-five miles all around us. Those
were the good old times when we used
bear grease in place of lard, hunted up a
bee tree in place of sugar, hunted deer
and buffalo to take the place of turkeys
and chickens, and still were happv. We
only ask fair play and hope that Denison
wilf sustain us by seeing justice done,
and not allow us to be fenced out by any
one individual for self-motive.”
We assured Mrs. P. that the Board of
Trade had taken the matter in hand, and
shall have our prompt attention.
I must not forget to mention that Dr.
Marshall, one of our enterprising citi-
zens, donated $50 to the road overseer
for repairing the road to the White House.
The Doctor has an elegant ranch nine
miles trom Denison, and was highly
complimented by Judge Porter tor his
liberality. The com, oats and wheat are
very fine.
Before leaving Mrs. Porter presented us
with some apples from last year, which
for beauty and fragrancy excel the blush
of a sweet maid; also an abundant sup-
ply of June apples

Tableau—Representation of the three

The young ladies doing the beautiful
in the tableau were Miss Kitty Young,
Painting; • Miss Lottie Hughes, Music,
and Miss Anna Shannon, Sculpture.
They were placed upon a revolving pe-
destal, which gave the scene a beautiful
effect.
Prot. J. C. F. Kyger was to have de-
livered the address to the class, but for
some unknown reason failed to make'his
appearance. The address of Eld. Bodkin
was an impromptu one, but was very ap-
propriate nevertheless.
It is difficult saying what the essays
were, as they were read in a tone too low
to be heard at any great distance. That
they were lengthy, all were aware—too
much so tor the weather.
The music was ail furnished by outside
parties, and taking into consideration the
difficulties under which they labored, was
very good. It would have been difficult
however, to have convinced the audience
that the sentiment expressed in the
sleighing song was but an empty bauble—
a delusion of the mind.
The small boy in the gallery was pres-
ent as usual, to keep up an uncalled for
amount of noise.
The heat was intense, almost unbear-
able. Notwithstanding this, the exer-
cises were enjoyed by the larger part of
those present, as was shown by the ap-
plause and the shower of bouquets that
were thrown to the honored ones.
Cholera Spreading in 8pain.
Madrid, June ti.—Cholera in
Spain is rapidly spreading, and the
increase in the number of cases now
daily reported is causing great alarm
among the people in Valencia.
There have been forty-five new cases
reported since the last previous re-
turns of yesterday. Castile an-
nounces eighteen deaths. In the
province of Murcia there are sixty
cases resembling cholera. This
number includes twenty-eight cases
in the city of Murcia.
A Good Selection.
Washington, June 11.—James A.
George of Denison, Texas, was ap-
pointed special agent of the land
office on fraudulent land entries at a
salary of $1600 and expenses paid,
lie was indorsed by most of the
Texas delegation, except Senator
Maxey. He was also indorsed by
Holman of Indiana and VanWyck
of Nebraska.
Our friend and fellow-citizen, Dan
Groman, as will be seen by the following
items takens from the Sherman papers,
has taken unto himself a helpmeet. The
Gazetteer heartily endorses the compli-
ments paid the bride by the Journal, and
will add that Dan is a first rate fellow,
just the kind ot a citizen a newspaper
man loves to get acquainted with:

Mitchell and Dan Groman, all of Deni-
son. They were accompanied by Miss
Mollie Newlin, ot Hudsonville, Illinois,
and Mr. E. H. and Clift N. Mitchell of
Denison.
This happy couple is well known to the
local editor ot the Journal, and he can
testify to the true womanly character of
Mrs. M., and we believe Dan has secured
a prize.
We are also well acquainted with Mr.
Groman and have never heard ought
against him. We join with the many
triends of Mr. and Mrs. Gorman in wish-
ing them a long and

Shorthanders ought to be proud of this
magazine. It is a long way ahead of any
periodical devoted to their art ever- seen
in this country before. It is not a mere
exhibit of shorthand examples, but a vi-
vaciousj sprightly, original and exceed-
ingly entertaining magazine. The June
number gives the portrait of Mr. Elias
Longley, of Cincinnati, a name familiar
to all phoneticians and phonographers
Two pages of Mr. J. E. Munson’s court
notes, being a perfect reproduction of
his shorthand, is presented under the
head of “Curiosities of Shorthand.”

The North Texas Horticultural One
Society held their monthly meeting
tor June at the Board of Trade
rooms, on Saturday liiat.
The usual routine business was
transacted and several new member*
admitted. Among the visiting
friends was Mr. Kerr of Sherman,
who ik extensively engaged in fruit
growing.
Tne matter of the annual fair was
put in the hands of the executive
committee of the society. This fair
will he held somewhere from the
20th to the 25th of July.
The display of fruits, vegetables
and flowers, though not large was
exceedingly fine. Premiums were
awarded, in cash for best display of
the different exhibits. Mr. Hancock
took the premium for best peaches
and string beans; J. J. Fairbanks,
for best potatoes, second best peach-
es and blackberries; T. V. Munson,
best plums; Z. P. Stoneman, best
blackberries. A special premium
of fifty cents was awarded to Willie
Vfunson, a lad of eleven years, for
his display of cabbage.
Our reporter did learn what ladies
received premiums for cut flowers,
but he does know that it was a very
difficult matter for the committee to
decide which of the many were en-
titled to the blue ribbon. Mr. Nimon
exibited a plate of fine tomatoes,
part of which were npe—these of
course secured the premium. Our
informant did not have a full list of
premiums awarded, so he may have
omitted to mention some who were
entitled to notice.
Mr. Kerr of Sherman, exhibited
stalk of the Houghton gooseberry
loaded with fruit, which he says he
is cultivating successfully in his gar-
den. Mr. Munson stated that he
had not met with success in raising
the berry in his nusery and garden in
this cit
Mr. Z. P. Stoneman exhibited a
few blueberries, known by many
as high bush huckleberry, which he
grew in his garden ju-t south of the
stock pond. He states that the
plants were brought from Iowa and
were set out last season, and stood
the drouth of last summer splen-
didly.
Mr. Munson says be has a short
row of the bushes in his garden
which have been growing for severa
years without any care, and that the
patch” is a mat of bushes, and
they were loaded with fruit this
summer.
Mr. Stoneman is so well pleaset
with them that he will plant out a
large number this fall.
This berry is very popular in the
northwest where it is extensively
grown for market. In quality and
popularity it ranks equal to the
blackberry, and is a better shipper
and keeper, and if it can be success-
fully grown here will prove a valua-
ble crop for our fruit growers. It
seems that k would be worth a trial
any way. 8*8

-Hi
of our most
popular married ladies thought to
surprise her husband. He had'been
complaining considerably on account
of the poor food they had to eat;
also at the enormous grocery bill he
had to meet ai the end of each
month. This the good woman
could see no way to avoid, until the
happy thought struck her that prob-
ably if she could change her trading
place her great trouble would be at
an end. She pondered upon the
subject for several days and finally
came to the conclusion that she
would straightway try Burgower.
Having noted his reduced prices in
all the papers, she rightly concluded
there would be quite a saving in the
grocery bill, and that the goods
would be of better quality. She
started a monthly account with Bor-
rower without the knowledge or
consent of her husband, taking the
risk of his displeasure, upon the
guarantee of Burgower that the
goods would prove superior to any
her house before,
and that the bill would at least be
20 per cent, less than they had paid
to any grocer in the city. Now, kind
reader, note the result of this true
domestic tale. As we said before,
she gave her order to Burgower* die.
goods were promptly delivered,
cooked and served at is o’clock.
Everything was done to a turn and
in place of the husband turning ujp
his nose and complaining as was his
custom, a smile gradually broke over
his face and he praised his wife for
her splendid cooking. This happy
state of affairs lasted for several
weeks until finally the first of the
month came, and with it the bill of
Burgower. (By the way this part
of the performance ia never omit-
ted.) The husband, not being aware
of the change in their trading place,
thought surely there had been a mis-
take, and to prove it, he told the col-
lector his bills had always been from
thirty to forty per cent- more than
that. The collector finally persuad-
ed him to take the bill ana show it
to his wife, and see if that was not
correct. The next morning before
going to his office he stopped at
Burgower’s, paid the bill and had
enough surplus grocery money left
to buy suits and shoes for the boys
and dresses for the girls. iWrgOWer
now sells groceries to that whole
neighborhood and for miles around.
This particular family are now hap-
py ar.d contented; many more have
followed their excellent example,
and all, with one accord, praise the
name of Burgower.
