who waited without that aH was over;.
Hev hastened ti the telegraph office
but the reporters were before him and
before he reached it the news of the
general's death was spreading far and
wide throughout the country. Shortly
after Secretary Barrett reached the
L' t telegraph office and sent messages an

Blaine Secretary of War Proctor Mr.
Rusk and many others.
He could not restrain his tears. "He
died like u babe falling asleep" he
said "There was no suffering no pain.
After to o'clock he lay motionless
and but the very sliuhtest respiration
showed that life still existed. Dr
Alexander was by his bcdsiae witn tne
members of the family. Before nqon
all had agreed- that death was only a

is. the garden spot of the world. Just

Capt. Maltby sent from hereto Grover
Cleveland for his Thanksgiving dinner
in i888f They were so large that the
co*k did pot know what they were and
sent them to agricultural department
which in turn wrote the captain to find
out and informing him that they had
made plaster casts and sent them to the
Paris Exposition. What do you thuik
of water meltons that frequently weigh
100 and as high as no pounds? They
are so plentiful we think that if we
have to pay two bits (25c.) for one as
large as we can lift it is too much
money. In this section fine farming
lands can be bought for from two to
fifteen dollars pe acre according to
improvements nearness to market etc.
Here malarial fevers are unknown for
we are 1800 feet above sea level.
There is plenty of wood for fuel and
fence posts and water game and fish
is abundance. We have fruits such'
as peaches plumbs apricots necta-
rines; soft shell almonds pecans
apples and pears; grapes grow as fine
and with better flavor than those of
California. The flowers are in bloom
nearly all. the year.

countless thousands pf flowers from

an enthusiast in regard to this section
and seem to hear you say if that is
such a fine country why is it that land is
so cheap; etc I will try and tell you.
It is only ten years since the advent ol
the Texas and Pacific railway prior to
which this was the home of the Indian
and buffalo. After the railroad came
the cattle kings did all in their power
to keep the settlers out saying that
nothing could be raised that there was
bo water and in fact they did every
thing they could to keep the man with
the hoe from coming in A few
bought frOTh the state a section or so of
land and tried farming on a small scale.
Their success was such that odiers
tried it ahd now Where countless
thousands of cattle grazed over the
prairies you see prosperous farmers on
every side and men and women from
every state in the Union north south

who gives tip Texas for their native
state. There room herd in Tex-

Hie noted sire of trotters Reno De-
fiance by Louis Napoleon dam by
Fisk's Mambrino Chief has an adver-
tisem*nt in to-day's paper. He is the
sire of Reno's baby whose Wonderful
performances are familiar to every
reader of this column. He is also the
sire of Prospect who trotted all over
the track at Dallas lasi year and hud
his head VpuJled off' to let the bay
stallion V.:M. C. Hill win the stallion
trot and has to his credit the best lot
of colts out of ordinary mares ever
kgot by any trotting bred stallion.
Read his advertisem*nt.
Lewis Sharp places an advertisem*nt
for his horse Clipper in die Reporter
this week. This horse is well .known
to the breeders of this country as a
sire of all purpose horses Mr. Sharp
also advertises a thoro'ugh bred Hoi-
stein -Fricsicn bull which he has just
received to make the season at Ins
barn
The custom of standing horses and
making the service money due at time
of service is dhe that shouldbr adopt--
ed by all .owners and breeders. It is
the most satisfactory to the man who
invests large sums of money in good
sires and to the reliable- man who- has
mares to breed it makes little difference
whether he pays his money at the time
of service or later. If paid with the
usual return privilege'.tlie breeder gets
the use of the sire by paying a riasop-
able price for his service and does not
have to contribute his pro. rata part to
make good losses incurred by the own-
er because of the unreliability of those
who neVer pay.
The. passage of a law compelling the
owners of stallions to pay a. license for
the privilege of standing their horses
for pay would have a heathy influence
on the improvement ol horses in this
country. Better sires would be used if
a jaw of this kind existed and of
course belter colts would be raised.
