known as the Fisher variety in Alabama,
whore the seed were imported from. Mr.

TlUEltr. were no cervices at the chnrch on
lout Sunday. The reverend Mr. Harris had
a special engagement at another point,
where he preached the funeral of the lady
who was so brutally murdered on the Ban-
dice, iu Guu/alus county, about two months
ago, by u negro.
at Tnr election item is.il i um,..,
turuiinc whether a tax of one per cent,
should lie levied to create a fund for the
ptfrpose of organising a fire department for
the town of Schiileukurg, the question wae
determined In the negative, tkeie beiug
live votes for und forty-four against. So
that is the end of the matter until slier the
first fire, wliou the queetlon will come up
IT is really a pleasure to riils through
ibo eonutry around onr town and look at
the cro)si. There ia a apleudid stand of both
corn aud cotton, and tho presont warm
weather ia causing them to spring ont of
tha ground with wonderful rapidity. Aud
then they are so clean—no wsails nor grass.
Toeae farms resemble gardens on a large
scale. Nowhere is there to be found a
more boautifnl sight.
The attention of onr leaden ie directed
to tho advertieemeut ol the Reeedale nur-
eeriee, which appears in onr columns to-day.
This is one of the oldest nurseries in the
State, and has the reputation for propaga-
ting the finest ind best varieties of fruits of
all kinds. Trees, shrubs, etc., from this
nursery, have the advantage of being aocli
mated, and are wore thrifty than thoee
coming from th* North. Mr. Wilkins, agsnt
for Fayette county, is now visiting our cit-
izens and taking their order* foi tree* to be
delivered this coming fall. Those who have
homes should not fail to procure as many
tree* as their means will Justify.
Tint next issue of the Arou* will eontain
an elaborate aud detailed statement of th*
proceedings of the county commissioners
ronrt at it# late aeeaiou. We exerted our-
self to get it in time for thi* issue, but hav-
ing to rely upon other* we signally failed.
No condensed statement of tbcee proceed-
ings will meet the expectations of the tax-
payer. They pny taxes, and it is gratifying
to them to know how their money fa dis-
posed of; who goto, it and for what pur-
|kmo It ia oxpended. All reports of eounty
officials will ho publiabed by na aa matter
of newt. No paper can claim to be a coun-
ty paper tluit fsila to do so.
Tltt: party given last Wednesday evening
by the Kehnlcnluirg base ball clob was a
vary pleasant affair. The aUenrtance waa
not ua large aa antielpated, yet there were
ruuwgb L> make it a auccoae In every way.
'Ilia ladies were unusually brilliant, and
entered into the epirit of th* noeaaion with
great enthnsimmi. Among those present
were Mr*. Upton, Mr*. Winemaker. Mrs.
Phillips. Mrs. Steele, Misses Lou Anna aud
Fannie Mayes, Mias Dora Claytnu, Mis*
Overby, Miss Estallo Wilkins, Miaa Frankie
Card, Miss 1-aitra Boykin, Miss Kirk,
Mia* Lula Green, of Halletsvlll*. Tho danc-
ing waa prolonged until l o’clock, whan all
departed for their home* feeling, no doubt,
ifaa* a tnupeixic iudulgsoco la tho terps!
choroan art was not only one of onr great-
est pleasures la life, but conducive to both
mental and physical health. We rsgrottod
to note the entire nhoanoe of any of our |
licrnmn follow citizens; bnt the absence of
Americana, aa a rule, ia to he observed whan
they give pagtioa ; few, if say, attend. W*
would Uko to ere thi* changod. Thorn
should exist uo reason for each exeluaiva-
ncss by eithor party, and we stneeroly hop*
|t may bn ofherwjM.
From Mr. Charlnn A. Kaasler, one of our
county commissioners, wn learn that at its
lost session the oeurt mode an order for the
publieation of certain information regard-
ing election products, and further ordered
that sealed proposals be reoeived lor mak-
lag the publication. This was eminently
proper on the part of the court. The Alums
will boon hand. Here is an opportunity to
become the “official paper" of the county,
and w* do not intend it shall pass without
an effort on our part to grasp the precious
prise. 80 stand from under, brother Greg-
ory, the day for monopolies has passed. If
yon must survive, let it be upon merit aud
not upon “official pap.”
Whkn we were in tlsllettaville some
time ago, we left thorn under the Impres-
sion that we lind perfected arrangements
with a couple of our friends to forward ns
for publication the ‘frill proceedings of tho
vaiious courts of Lavaca county. Since
then there has bceu a term of the county
court, and we presume there has heeu held
a term of the county commissioners court,
and ns yet ws have not reoeived a word
from them. We trust that we will not be
forgotten in the future. Give us full min-
utes of the commiseioners court, and any
reports of oonnty officials, aud we will pub-
lish them with pleasure, aud without oest
to any one.
Wk have been shown by Mr. L. H.
Wostberby, a letter from "Brick” Pomeroy
to him. in which he acknowledge* the re-
ceipt of a letter from Mr. W-, and says:
“ I forward it (the letter) to Llttlo Rock
to-day, May 8, where it will reach Dr.
Brooks, my advance agont, who la now on
his way south to make arrangements for
my stopping at different places. He will
write you. 1 would like to stop at yonr
plaoe if I ran do so without incurring ex-
pense. which I am uot able to meet. I
would write a descriptive article of your
place, aud tell th* many readera of the Ikm-
«oral wbat kind of a town you have and
what kind of people yon are. I would I ike
to ask the Democrats there why it is they
are willing to bo doubly taxed each year
for the support of the bond-holders who
etolo themselves rloh during tho war, and
who are new paying nn taxes,” etc.
PKorxasou David M. Farr delivered a
lecture in this place on Tuesday evening ou
“Astronomy, illustrated by an entirely new
process.” In his prefatory remark* the lec-
turer made several statements calculated
to set the thinking mind abroach, quoting
ter Is from scripture in veriffoation. Many
of his ideas were aatirsiy new to na; novel,
yet not without seeming ground fur sup-
port. Tha "vast solar system with all its
appendages of planets and satellite* was
made to appear before th* admiring audi-
eues” in a manner very instructive and in-
teresting to the younger members of the
audieuce. Professor Farr is particularly
desirous of instructing tha children, hold-
ing that science is truth, and the truth
•hall make tlem free from snperstittiou
and doubt.

Tnc Anocs ia pleased and gratified to
know that the citiaena of Texas, and par-
ticularly Western Texas, are turning their
attention to the breeding of blooded stock.
We imagine, if what we hear he true, that
scarcely any other kind of stock is bred on
the Hue of the Galveaton, Harrisburg and
Sau Antonio railway. This railway has
bean subjected to divers aud sundry suits
for the alleged killing of slock, and up to
the preeent writing we have heard of noue
but Berkshire hogs, Durham cow*, and Mal-
tese jacks being killed. Tbcee reflection*
remind ns conversation we heard took
place between a freedmao wha hod recent-
ly recovered a judgment for twenty dollars
against the road for the killing of fivo"Berk-
shire” shoatr, aud another party. Said bo:
“Dey gilt dem slioats, sbo! an’ Ise got a fine
cow, au da’ll kill her In lesa’n tree weeks.”
Thk Amirs It the recipient of many com-
pliment* for iM general neatness and style,

both original and (elected, it nanally con-
tain*. The proprietor consldon it not only
n duty, but n pleasure, to say that not to
him alone are the readers of the Ahoitr In-
debted for whatever of pleasure they may
derive from reading it. He has been fortu-
nate iu having the services of Mr. C. J. Pil-
grim and Mr. Thomas A. Cook, two worthy
typoo, to whom he concede* a large share
of whatever of excellence may be attrib-
uted to it by ita readers. During our late
absence ou a trip to Gonzales the Arhus
maintained its usual standard, for whlob
we are indebted ts those gentleman—es-
pecially Mr. Pilgrim, who condensed the
stata and general news, and wrote many of
tha locals.
The Base Ball Game.
There wae a largo crowd of both ladioa
and gentlemen on the base hall gnmnda on
last Wednesday to witness the match game
lietween the Itehulenburg nine and th* L»-*
col Option, of Hallettaville. The gam* com-
menced at 9 o’clock p. M., and lasted until
5:90 o'clock. The Sohulenburgers were cou'
fldent of victory, while the Local Options
confeaaed that they expected to bo defeated,
which waa verified by tho result. There
war* some oiler* of wager*, bnt few wore
taken, and those great odda—two toon*
on tb* Bchulenkurgers. The playing at
the ooinmenoement waa largely in favor of
tha latter, but at the third inning there
ware some changes made iu the stationing
ol tha Scbelenburg bum, which resulted
unfavorably for thorn. After that ianing
waa played the member# resigned their
plaem. sad th* game proceeded without
marked event until It* close, with tho re-
sult as published elsewhere. The Local Op-
tions, though a young club, did some very
brilliant playing, aud with time and expe-
rience will make their mark. The Schuleu-
burgert have aooepted a challenge to play
them at HallettaviUe on Wednesday, the
thirteenth of J uno. By that time they will
have practiced considerably, and we look
forward to a very iutoreatiug as wall us ex-
citing game. Judging from wbst we have
heard, we should not be surprised if they
did not have the temerity to offer wagers un
the result. We do not approve of betting
ou anything as a rule, as it ie likelv to en-
gender strife, hut we lsuow that they will
have a splendid opportunity to corral ail
the loose property and stamps our boys oan
raise .if they can beat them on th* thir-
teenth of Jane.
[COMMUNICATED-J
Scui'LEXBUno, May 22,1877.
Editor Akous :
Doubtless yoa will readily perceive, in
perusing this article, that the writer is un-
accustomed to expressing his views upon
any subject through the columns of a news-
paper; but upou the question that uow so
greatly agitates Hchnlenhurg and her neigh-
boring towns, base hall, 1 can hsrdiy re-
frain from expressing myself briefly.
Our club is comparatively youug—scarce-
ly organized more than two months, aud
have bad but little piactioe except on Sun-
day evenings, meet of the member* being
meu of n business character, either profes-
sional or mercantile, consequently their
time from their business is limited; unlike
the “boye” of our neighboring town, Hal-
letsville, who have nothtug else to do—ow-
ing to the local option law—In the wav of
business but to play ball seven days out of
each week. We have been beaten twioe,
it is true, but by a club whose age is twice
or three ticies that of ours, aud experience
that double ours four times. The second
match game that our boy# played was so
hotly contested that their opponents were
glad iu the extreme to call the game, which
bad they not have done, the Scbnleuburg-
ers would undoubtedly Imre come off' victo-
rious. We are persevtring iu onr efforts to
become good players, sod I think in tbs
event of two or three month* we will stand
second best to none on the line of the Gal-
veston, Harrisburg and San Antonio rail-
road 1 am truly glad to tee so many of
th* old residenters of our town manifesting
so great an amount of interest iu our olub.
It encoursges the younger members and
gives them renewed strength.
I write this iu behalf of the elub, so poo-
pis outside may see and knew what we are
and how we stand. R.
Flatonia.
On lest Saturday we visited Flatonia, one
of the most flourishing towns ou tile line of
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
railway. The town it incorporated, aud
has au estimated population of one thou-
sand souls. It is situated iu tho midst of a
rich end prosperous portion of our county,
dear the north line of Lavaca aud Gonzales
counties, niuuy of whose inhabitants come
there to purchase their supplies.
The town has a larger number of business
houses tlmu ws had supposed from oboarvn-
tiou inode while passing through on the
Til rough the politeness of Mr. E.L. Shrop-
shire, we made the acquaintance of Hourly
all thoee doing business there. Our trip
beiug purely oue of husiuess, and 1 united to
oue day, we did not have au opportunity of
conversing as freely witli them as we desir-
ed. Here, as everywhere we have been,
wo fuuud business dull end the merchants
disposed to complain of "hard times.” How-
ever, all looking forwent to agqcdl VUrade
which, otvipg to the prepanl spuitmwl 'p.Vip*-
pcct of a goere uqt/Yeld, seems assured.
Flatonia bus, we should judge, abont
twenty stores, several saloons, two hotels
one livery stable, one bakery, and will soon
bave auotber, one inilliuery establishment,
two blacksmith shops, two drug stores, two
saddlery shops, one tin and stove establish-
ment, three shoemaker*, a Maiauio and
Odd Fellows* ball aud achoolhoute. We
cannot oouveoieutly mention the names of
all those engaged in business there, but will
simply say that all the stores teemed to
carry respectable stocks, particularly Har-
rison Sc Lane, Tuttle 4k Cockerell, Yaeger 4k
Bon, R. L. Simmons, Miers 4fc Fliiksnstsin,
Mi. Ford trail, and others whose name* we
eannot remember. We were shown through
the estubliebinont of Messrs. Tattle 4k Cock-
erel, and were surprised to ttud so large and
varied au assortment of general merchan-
dise in a place of the size of Flatonia. Their
building is large and commodious, and be-
nauth it ie an airy cellar, well lighted, in
which ia stored all their heavy goods. They
are making an addition to thoir building,
increasing its length, which, when coui-
uleted. will make It one of the most desira-
ble and moat oomfortahlo stores to be
found anywhere. These gentlemen are also
agents for tho oelebrated Milbnru wagon,
of which they have a large number on hand.
We pnt np at the Louisiana hotel, where
we found ever ything very clean aud neat,
and an excellent table. The 8t. Louis ho-
tel ts spoken of very favorably.
There was tome talk, about th* time the
Aaufls eras started, of purchasing a print-
ing press and material, and publishing a
newspaper. A public meeting waa called
and money subscribed, bnt w* .inhere the
matter ban been allowed to drop—a sens!
ble conclusion, at it take* money to start a
paper, anil after it is started it require*
both money and brain* to mn it. We hope
to make more freqnont visits to enr sister
town in future, aud become hotter acquaint-
ed with It* oitisena.
Wk are under obligation* to n friend at
Iodirsage for the following Items in regard
to the county commissioners oourt proceed
logs :
They granted soma new nails, appointed
a Jury of views to mark oat seme changes ,
i n old roads and to lay out some new ones,
and rejected one or two roads. They ex-
pended during the term the sain of 32515.52,

The Man from Boston.
This is tlie way she told her story
to tlit) chief of police, uh she aut ou
the edge of the chair aud wiped her
uoae twice every time she wiped her
eyes once. She hegHii:
“ I keep a boarding house on Front
afreet, east, and a week ago last
night,'air, a good looking man rung
the bell und aaid he liked the coay
look of my house, air. lie wauted
to kuoxv if 1 waa near sighted, and
when 1 auid yea, he aaid he would
take board for a week. He auid that
be whh looking up ari estate, air, aud
that he lived iu Bostou.”
“ Looking np an estate,” repeated
the chief na he wrote it down.
“ Well, air, I didn’t ask for any
money in advance, aa he was such a
gentleman, hut yesterday he handed
ine u twenty dollar bill. I gave him
back fourteen dollars. I went down
to tbe atote, and they said tbe bill
waa a counterfeit. I told tho man
so when I got borne, and be got mad
in a second. “Wbo impugns my
honor,” he cried, na he took the bill.
I will go down there and make the
sycophants grovel in the dust for
tiiial” That’s abont wbat be aaid,
air, as be got oil bis coat, air.”
“And be wentT” queried the chief.
“And be did, air, aud he hasn’t re-
turned, air; and the satchel went
with him, air; and tbe Rycopbant
before you, sir, inis been cheated ont
of fourteen dollars and a week’s
board. Doesn’t it look that way to
you, sir!”
Aud tbe chief confessed that it
did. _
A Cincinnati editor, himself the
father of eleven children, says: “It
ia noticeable that with the arrival of
the second baby there is not the
same confidence na on the arrival of
the first, that it lathe moat wonderful
thing in the United States, not ex-
cepting the constitution and the fif-
teenth amendment. By the time tho
family register ia cumbered with the
patronymic of the sixth or seventh,
babies become a matter of course,rid
fathers and mothers make the con-
vulsing discovery that the babies are
not such extraordinary events after
all, and that they have a remarkable
resemblance to each other while in
the cartilaginous stage.”
