nicely, acknowledging receipt of
S7.(MI from the church at Mason.

—Judge J. I>. Alexander, of

nounces for re-election to the
office of Justice of the Fence of
Precinct 3, a position he bus
creditably held for many years.
An energetic, active, efficient
officer, knowing neither friend or
foe, in the discharge of duty, he
has proven fair and impartial and
one of the best justice's of the
county. Mr. Alexander has given
the people fair and impartial ser-
vice, and he is likely to hold the
position until to him "Time shall
be no more."

would give the affairs of the office
careful service.
— Prof. W. B. Dawson, we
learn, has secured the Watterson
school, and the trustees and
patrons are to be congratulated

dicts rapid advancement of the
pupils under his tutorship.

Jenkins as a candidate for the
office of Constable Precinct 1,—
Bastrop. Hill's Prairie and Good-
man, appears in the Ai vi KTisr.i:
of to-day. Mr. Jenkins is an old
hand at the business, efficient,
energetic, and il elected would
make an active, less and im-
partial peace officer.
—The murky clouds, hanging
over this section for (lit* p.'i-t
several days, betoken falling
weather. A good rain fall would
be beneficial to pastorage, and
effect a powerful sight of good
laving the dust, which is terrific.

POLAND CHINA HOGS.
Tom L. LeSueur visited the
i>allus Fair, and while there
bought from Stugner A" Hammack,
from their Ridge Ho; Ranches in
Bolivar and Pondar counties,
Texas, one of the finest brood
Poland China Sows that ever
struck Bastrop county. She is a
beauty. This h« rd is conceded
to be the finest in the state, hav-
ing won more premiums at the
I teuton (bounty Fair,than all other
c< mpeditors. In the fall of '01
they had seven head (of their
own breeding) on exhibition at
the Dallas Fair, competing with
the finest breeds from the best
ranches in the state, taking four
first and two second premiums.
This sow will prove quite tin ad-
dition to Mr. LeSueur's already
fine herd and will give him the
finest bred Poland China Hogs to
be found throughout this section.
These hogs can be made to pull
down the scales at 1,000 and
more pounds. Tom says he will
have none but the best thorough-
breds to be found in the country,
and will continually add to his
Ranche until it becomes equal to
the very best in the State.
