Editor Sum : We are feeling
so good from tbe receut bleasiog
received that we are compelled by
foroe of desire to write to you
aboat it. Wbile it may be a famil-
iar experience with tbe inhabitants
of otber sections of Texas, anil
even of Parker Co. to bave bounti-
ful rains, we of tbe vicinity of Ag-
nes bave jnst bad oar first big
tain of the year. On tbe afternoon
of tbe 3rd inst. there appeared a
' very small clond in the southwest
which rapidly spread and ap-
proached, giving ns a fine rain and
pretty strong wind, blowing down
some fencing, inclading corn, but
doing no serious damage. A belt
of coantry one mile from as, and
extending from sooth*est to
northeast, bad considerable bail,
which split the fodder of corn
into very narrow sbreds, beat tbe
the leaves oif tbe cotton, tender
vegetables &cM giving everything
a ragged appearance. Late plant-
ing tbat was just cleverly up, was
completely destroyed. Oue far-
mer reports having planted three
times for a stand, aud has lost
tbat by the bail. The bail stonés1
were not large, and probably did
oot damage oorn seriously by
braising the stalk aa is sometimes
tbe case. On the night of tbe 3rd
was tbe ieaviest fall of rain we
bave had far four years; and for
all there are some ngly gullies
found through farms, we feel quite
jabllant over the prospect. Friend
Barnard's, (tbe worthy founder of
Agnes,) uee is preceptibly con-
tracted, and on several occasions
to-day, the gentleman ventured a
broad smile. Dr. H—desisted
from accustomed' yawning and
sighing and engaged freely in dis-
cussing tbe prohibition amend-
ment/ Tbe discussion is rather
one-sided, as the Pro's are sadly
in the minority in this community.
Mr. O. T. Webb, the popular
projector of our ginning and mill-
ing enterprise, is tbe happy father
o| a daughter, and aa au exprés
•sioil of his feelings he inquired of
visiting friends if lie was not ax

How tw be Happy.
Tbe following advice wan given
by a noted physician to a young
man who complained of nervous-
ness, loss of vision, night sweats
and a poor appetite:
•Throw away your cigarettes
and eat a good bowl of mush and
milk for your breakfast," said the
learned doctor, "and you will not
need any medicine. Indian corn
is essentially au American insti-
tution. As the staple food ot
oar. daddies it can really be said
to have helped lay the foundation
of this great Republic. With its
product, the bog, it was in tbe not
very remote past almost the sole
food supply of tbe rural districts,
-and tbe dishes tbat can bo pre-
pared from its various forms are
of moch greater variety than cau
be prepared from wheat. Like
Baabo's rabbit, it is good to roast,
to bake or to boil, and can be
termented and turned into
whiaky, bat its stimulating quali-
ties are beat procured by making
it into a mush. It contains a
large amount of nitrogen, has
qualities anti-constipatiug aud is
* easily assimulated. Though orig-
inally the poor man's food, it
- baa come to be the rich man's
luxury. It is cheap and has great
nutritive properties. A course
of Indian meal iu the shape of
" Johnny-cake, hoe-cake, corn or
pone bread and mush, relieved
by copious and frequent draughts
of pure cow's milk, to which, if
iuclined to dyspepsia, a little lime
water may be added, will make a
life now a burden well worth tbe
living, and you need no other
treatment to correct yonr ner
vonaness, brighten your vision
And give yon sweet and peaceful
sleep."—N. Y. Mail and Express.
How to Improve Poultry.
For tbe purpose of grading up a
stnek of poultry, with a view of
obtaiaiag early maturity, good
size aud laying qualities all com
biued as much as possible, t)ie
Western Plowmau advises a cross
of Brahmas to give size, foliowe^l
by Plymouth Rocks to give com
pactness and early maturity. "We
would change cocks," says the
Plowman,"every season, crossing
with a Ply month Bock every oth
er year. Entirely uew blood from
different breeds will thus be in-
teoiaced annoaliy, invigorating
the flock and improving it in all
respects, but only pare bred males
ahould be used. They alone bave
the power in an intensified degree
to stamp tbelr good qualities upon
the flock."

Au army officer who has stayed
for many years in the Indian Ter-
ritory, and who, from experience
mid observation, is capable of
forming a correct conclusion, says
tbat he should think the Indians
would be better clothed and fed
and they would undoubtedly be
civilized much more qnickly by
permitting the « ni ranee of whites
in the Territory. It wonld de-
stroy the tribal relations, aud
there can never be any approach
to civilizing the aborigine as long
as be is allowed to hold his pow-
wow and sun dances. It would
be a vast benefit to the Indians
themselves to say notliing of the
