A. mass meeting of the citizens of Coryllc county was held in the court house, at the town of Gatesville, on Saturday, the 2d day of October, 1875, for the purpose of devising means, if possible, to prevent the comission of crime, and to bring the guilty to pun-ishinent. J. F. Brickhouse was appointed chairman, and W. O. Campbell, Secre-tary. A committee, consisting of J.C. Hcarne, W. IT. Belcher, S. Fields, B. Hood. F. M. Monk, A. S. Jarnigan, J. W. Friend, J. H. Chrisman and H. A. Walker, was appointed to dralt resolutions, 'the commitree reported the following preamble and resolu-lions: WiiRKKAs, Many good citizens of our county have recently fallen ^by the hand of the cowardly Assassin, and-to such'an extent have bad men con-spired and contrived against, the good, law-abiding men of our com-munity that none feel secure in his life, and Whereas, It is the duty of all good cit.zensto aid in maintaining and ex-editing the law and in bringing to justice the perpetrators and abettors of said crimes, therefore Resolved, That, we, the citizen of Cory idle county, 'look wiili Sorrow and indignation Upon the spirit qf lawless-ness at present, existing in our count}’, and Id ruby pledge oniwlvia by our sa-cred honor Ilia! wv v. iil -co-op© rale with and aid, assist and sustain by all the means in our power the constituted au-thorities in ferreting out and punish-ing according to law the instigators, abettors and perpetrators of all offenses again.si the lives of our citizens. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding citizens, will use our host endeavors to brine’ about a reconciliation of . the feud now existing in our midst, and suggest that a comniiitcc of six be appointed to wait upon both parties, and try, as far as in their power to rec-oncile them. The following named gentlemen were ■ appointed a committee, according to the suggestion of the last resolution: J. C. Ilearne, W. II. Belcher, S. Fields, J. Iv. Saunders, JR. J. Perry and L B. Hardy. ^ The Secretary was instructed to pre-pare a copy of the resolutions and pro ceedings for publication in the Exam-iuer and Patron. California Honey. The Los Angelos Herald says: ‘ ‘Bee culture is spreading rapidly. At the present rate of increase it is estimated that there will be in four years one million stands of bees in this and the two adjoining counties, which will produce annually 100,000,000 pounds of honey, worth $20,000,000, which is more than the value of the sugar and molasses crop of Louisiana, Texas and Florida combined.” Tli©..Canvass of 18*76. According to the New York World, the issues for the canvass of 1876 are as follows: 1. The finances, in opposition lo the legal tender financiers of ti e Republi can party. 2. The tariff as between free trade and prolection, (meaning a revenue tariff against prole.;! i n.) 3. Bribery and corruption against the fifteen years’ wrongs j>f the Repub-lican parly. A Cruel Disappointment. From the Detroit Free Press. On the Lake Shore road the other day, an old lady, seated opposite a sharp-looking gentleman, kept her eyes on him a long time, and finally she re marked:. “Mister, are you a pick-pocket?” ‘‘Why, no, madam—I’m a business man of Cleveland,” lie answered. “Is that so?” she sighed. “Well, I am awfully disappointed; I wanted to try and see if 1 couldn't reform you.” Fit'll ting' Joe Hooker’s idea. Gen. Hooker talks like a statesman and a» patriot when he says: “Il seems to me that our people should have learned long since that prosperity can not return to us so long as the bad feeling and dissension created by the war of the rebellion continue to divide us. I firmly believe that, the true and honest soldiers of the Republic have never lent their influence to the ene.our-agement and continuance of the bad blood engendered by the war, and that t hey never will.” The Grove, Coryell Co., Tex., ( October 4, 1875. ) Ed. Examiner: Knowing that your take a lively interest in the material progress of our count} I drop yon.a few locals. The Grove is steadily improving. Mr. Ben Worley is now erect ing a first-class steam mill here; his saw and grist mills are now running; in a few days bis gin will he running, ■and by the last of this month his flouring mill will be in operation. Iiis engine is thirty horse .power, all his machinery is first-class, and 11is buildings 30x40 feet are being put up in the most substantial man-ner. lie will be able to compete with the best mills of the South, he having secured the services of Mr. Homan, an experienced and scienti-fie miller, to superintend the flour ing department. There will be at-tached a.turning lathe to the mill, where chairs, wheels, Ac., will be turned out in the neatest style. We have now two full stores, two doe-tors, blacksmith and wood shop, shoe and boot shop, and a saddler and harness maker; also, a stone cutter who makes beautiful tomb-stones and other ornamental work out of the native roc-k. We need now a tanner; we have the best site in the count y for one, abundant ma-terial to tan with, near. We have a live, wide-awake Grange and .Ma sonic Lodge in ourfinenew hall, the best.edifice of the kind in the conn-ty. Our school is now in charge of Mr. Kannaman, from the University of Georgia, a thorough scholar and disciplinarian, which gives an earn-est, of present, and future usefulness to our neighborhood. The footprints of the Grange are. visible in all departments, infusing industry and economy among all classes. Farmers are now busy gathering cotton, which will yield a half bale per acre on an average. They gathered 25 bushels of corn to the acre, which is now selling at Ifoni 50 to 75 cents per bushel. The wheat yield was about fifteen bush-els, now selling at one dollar per bushel. Provisions are abundant forborne consumption, and some to spare the immigrant, whose cam}) fires are beginning to be seen over tlm country. There will be nearly a thousand acres of new land put in cultivation this fall. Peace and harmony prevail. Yours, M. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. | Special **.«> t.ne Waco Examiner.] FICOW AUSTIN.

Associated Cress Dispatches Small Packages. 6(>n. Wilson oil Micrniaii. Corner of Fremont and Mechanic Street, jy—w4m GALVESTON, TEXAS. Geu Sherman’s Meinoirs stirred up a great buzz among military .men, but bis brother officers have hitherto been chary of committing themselves to formal replies. Geu. 4. II. Wilson of cavalry fame has at last, however, thrown down the gauntlet. Two arti-cles in recent numbers of one of the magazines (the Galaxy) are from his pen. They review Sherman candidly, but not kindly, -declare of him that he cannot be assigned the highest rank among the great captains of the world, or even of opr own country; that neith-er liis judgment nor his courage is of the. highest order, ami that they arc not in harmonious equilibrium. Gen. Wilson further contends that Sherman is not the equal of Grant in judgment or courage, though he excels him in brilliauoy; that he is inferior to Thom-as in steadiness and resolution, far sur passed by Sheridan in courage, and ex-celled by Upton as a tactician and gen-end student of the military art. Fin-ally, the critic concludes that the Me-inoirs will cause their author to be as-signed a lower place than might other-wise have fallen to his lot.

A man who has been working for a new Ganiaan fanner,putting in from thirteen to sixteen hours a day, quit on Saturday. “What’s the matter, don’t you. like the place?” asked the farm i. “O, yes, 1 like the place well enough,” explained the ‘hand," “but the nights are getting so long Uni afraid I can't do a full day’s work” The farmer smiled like an invalid. —Danbury News. i?liMlressa nd Maul. “Mary, did you shoo t hem chick eus out of the tummatusses.” “Yes, ma’am, they have been shod;” and there was in Mary’s voice a tinge of contempt for the improper speech of her mist ress, and in her bearing a something which betokened a consciousness of ocen- 1’ying a position sadly oiit of keep-ing with her at tainments.— Urunn-wie/ iY.e IV la o’1 Take Delano’s Place.

TIi© Farmer’s Friend. “Wliat’s this man doing to keep otd of the worktts?” inquired his Honor, as George Dyers drifted up to tlie mark. “Sell mowing machines and forty tooth harrows,” growled the pris-oner; “and if I did leave signs on the sidewalk, I loft ’em there as a warning to farmers not to buy else-where without examining goods and prices.” “Young man,” said his Honor, “I love you. You are the friend of the fanner, the noble tiller of the alluvial. You may go.”—Sherman Register. The Laclede st ill maintains its strong hold upon tlie traveling public as the favorite ho-- tel in St. Louis. Mr. .Matin, the proprietor, is a prince of a “Mine Host,” and his clerks not of the “stuck-up” sort. Guests are treated with the utmost civility, and are made to feel that the Laclede, for the time, is their home. Of course, under such a management, the table and also the rooms and beds are of the very best. selTd&wt.f IT'AGLK COTTON GIN 1J AND MACHINERY DEPOT, ---- OF — W. L.

MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS.
COKRECT ACTION.
A. mass meeting of the citizens of
Coryllc county was held in the court
house, at the town of Gatesville, on
Saturday, the 2d day of October, 1875,
for the purpose of devising means, if
possible, to prevent the comission of
crime, and to bring the guilty to pun-ishinent.
J. F. Brickhouse was appointed
chairman, and W. O. Campbell, Secre-tary.
A committee, consisting of J.C.
Hcarne, W. IT. Belcher, S. Fields, B.
Hood. F. M. Monk, A. S. Jarnigan,
J. W. Friend, J. H. Chrisman and H.
A. Walker, was appointed to dralt
resolutions, 'the commitree reported
the following preamble and resolu-lions:
WiiRKKAs, Many good citizens of our
county have recently fallen ^by the
hand of the cowardly Assassin, and-to
such'an extent have bad men con-spired
and contrived against, the
good, law-abiding men of our com-munity
that none feel secure in his
life, and
Whereas, It is the duty of all good
cit.zensto aid in maintaining and ex-editing
the law and in bringing to
justice the perpetrators and abettors
of said crimes, therefore
Resolved, That, we, the citizen of
Cory idle county, 'look wiili Sorrow and
indignation Upon the spirit qf lawless-ness
at present, existing in our count}’,
and Id ruby pledge oniwlvia by our sa-cred
honor Ilia! wv v. iil -co-op© rale with
and aid, assist and sustain by all the
means in our power the constituted au-thorities
in ferreting out and punish-ing
according to law the instigators,
abettors and perpetrators of all offenses
again.si the lives of our citizens.
Resolved, That we, as law-abiding
citizens, will use our host endeavors to
brine’ about a reconciliation of . the
feud now existing in our midst, and
suggest that a comniiitcc of six be
appointed to wait upon both parties,
and try, as far as in their power to rec-oncile
them.
The following named gentlemen were ■
appointed a committee, according to
the suggestion of the last resolution:
J. C. Ilearne, W. II. Belcher, S. Fields,
J. Iv. Saunders, JR. J. Perry and L B.
Hardy. ^
The Secretary was instructed to pre-pare
a copy of the resolutions and pro
ceedings for publication in the Exam-iuer
and Patron.
California Honey.
The Los Angelos Herald says: ‘ ‘Bee
culture is spreading rapidly. At the
present rate of increase it is estimated
that there will be in four years one
million stands of bees in this and the
two adjoining counties, which will
produce annually 100,000,000 pounds
of honey, worth $20,000,000, which is
more than the value of the sugar and
molasses crop of Louisiana, Texas and
Florida combined.”
Tli©..Canvass of 18*76.
According to the New York World,
the issues for the canvass of 1876 are
as follows:
1. The finances, in opposition lo the
legal tender financiers of ti e Republi
can party.
2. The tariff as between free trade
and prolection, (meaning a revenue
tariff against prole.;! i n.)
3. Bribery and corruption against
the fifteen years’ wrongs j>f the Repub-lican
parly.
A Cruel Disappointment.
From the Detroit Free Press.
On the Lake Shore road the other
day, an old lady, seated opposite a
sharp-looking gentleman, kept her eyes
on him a long time, and finally she re
marked:.
“Mister, are you a pick-pocket?”
‘‘Why, no, madam—I’m a business
man of Cleveland,” lie answered.
“Is that so?” she sighed. “Well, I
am awfully disappointed; I wanted to
try and see if 1 couldn't reform you.”
Fit'll ting' Joe Hooker’s idea.
Gen. Hooker talks like a statesman
and a» patriot when he says: “Il seems
to me that our people should have
learned long since that prosperity can
not return to us so long as the bad
feeling and dissension created by the
war of the rebellion continue to divide
us. I firmly believe that, the true and
honest soldiers of the Republic have
never lent their influence to the ene.our-agement
and continuance of the bad
blood engendered by the war, and that
t hey never will.”
The Grove, Coryell Co., Tex., (
October 4, 1875. )
Ed. Examiner:
Knowing that your take a lively
interest in the material progress of
our count} I drop yon.a few locals.
The Grove is steadily improving.
Mr. Ben Worley is now erect ing a
first-class steam mill here; his saw
and grist mills are now running; in
a few days bis gin will he running,
■and by the last of this month his
flouring mill will be in operation.
Iiis engine is thirty horse .power,
all his machinery is first-class, and
11is buildings 30x40 feet are being
put up in the most substantial man-ner.
lie will be able to compete
with the best mills of the South, he
having secured the services of Mr.
Homan, an experienced and scienti-fie
miller, to superintend the flour
ing department. There will be at-tached
a.turning lathe to the mill,
where chairs, wheels, Ac., will be
turned out in the neatest style. We
have now two full stores, two doe-tors,
blacksmith and wood shop,
shoe and boot shop, and a saddler
and harness maker; also, a stone
cutter who makes beautiful tomb-stones
and other ornamental work
out of the native roc-k. We need
now a tanner; we have the best site
in the count y for one, abundant ma-terial
to tan with, near. We have a
live, wide-awake Grange and .Ma
sonic Lodge in ourfinenew hall, the
best.edifice of the kind in the conn-ty.
Our school is now in charge of
Mr. Kannaman, from the University
of Georgia, a thorough scholar and
disciplinarian, which gives an earn-est,
of present, and future usefulness
to our neighborhood.
The footprints of the Grange are.
visible in all departments, infusing
industry and economy among all
classes.
Farmers are now busy gathering
cotton, which will yield a half bale
per acre on an average. They
gathered 25 bushels of corn to the
acre, which is now selling at Ifoni
50 to 75 cents per bushel. The
wheat yield was about fifteen bush-els,
now selling at one dollar per
bushel. Provisions are abundant
forborne consumption, and some to
spare the immigrant, whose cam})
fires are beginning to be seen over
tlm country. There will be nearly a
thousand acres of new land put in
cultivation this fall. Peace and
harmony prevail. Yours, M.

Geu Sherman’s Meinoirs stirred up a
great buzz among military .men, but
bis brother officers have hitherto been
chary of committing themselves to
formal replies. Geu. 4. II. Wilson of
cavalry fame has at last, however,
thrown down the gauntlet. Two arti-cles
in recent numbers of one of the
magazines (the Galaxy) are from his
pen. They review Sherman candidly,
but not kindly, -declare of him that he
cannot be assigned the highest rank
among the great captains of the world,
or even of opr own country; that neith-er
liis judgment nor his courage is of
the. highest order, ami that they arc
not in harmonious equilibrium. Gen.
Wilson further contends that Sherman
is not the equal of Grant in judgment
or courage, though he excels him in
brilliauoy; that he is inferior to Thom-as
in steadiness and resolution, far sur
passed by Sheridan in courage, and ex-celled
by Upton as a tactician and gen-end
student of the military art. Fin-ally,
the critic concludes that the Me-inoirs
will cause their author to be as-signed
a lower place than might other-wise
have fallen to his lot.
