. Jacksou Dispatch: Oa Monday,
nbout 3 o'clock, a meteoric stone fell
from the hea7ens in a corn field about
0 miles north of this city. Tliere was
no cloud visible at the time of this won
derful occurrence.but the heavens were
clear and cloudless, while this phenoni
cun went hizzing through the air with
A uoise like the roar of distant cannon
n a battle field, causing no little ex
j ifement and conjecture by those who.
saw and heard it. Its course was from
south west to north east, and has been
a subject ofj conversation on our
streets since it gained credence. The
facts are Touched for by the most reli'
able citizens of the county. - The stone,
as found in Mr. Amis' field, has been
placed before the faculty of the 8. W.
B. University for scientific investiga
tion. Alamo Sentinel: We learn that a
terrible etorm passed through the
county between this place and Browns
ville last Monday night, doing a con
siderable amount of damage. On Mr.
Frank Smith's place, seven miles from
Brownsville, the houses were torn all
to pieces and two negroes were killed.
Tajlor's mill, seven miles north of
Brownsville was badly damaged. It
then came on end blew the roof off of
D. P. Williams' house, thrcwdownthe
fences, damaged his mill considerably
and also killed a negro in that neigh
borhood. The storm then ranged out
in the direction, and near Maury City.
We have not learned the extent of
damage done by the wind, but it must
be considerable, judging from what it
did in the section through which k
passed near us.
Somerville Falcon: Mr. Wm,
Boyd, son of the late Whitfield Boyd,
was killed last Saturday by a negro
named Richard Crawford. His skull
was fractured in three places by blows
dealt with a fence rail. There were no
witnesses to thL foul murder find all
that is known is what has been told by
the murderer himself. A Mr. Thomp
son saw the two men together and also
saw the negro come up out of the gully
in which he found Mr. Boyd a few
minutes afterward with life almost ex
tinct. The" negro has blade' several
statements in regard to the deed. At
one time he stated that Mr. Boyd was
trying to shoot him and that he push
ed him into the guily and when he ffll
he struck his head on a rail, and with
such force as to cause his death, but no
weapons were found on the person of
Mr. Boyd and it is evident that he had
none. We learn that the negro now
says that be struck him with the rail
and killed him to save his own life.
These are the facts as near a; we can
gather them. Crawford was brought
to town Sunday and lodged in jail.
LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Vanmckle's P. O., Hunt Co., )
Texas, April 20, 1878.
Jylito' Efbangf I
The weather is fine, with plenty of
rain to make it seasonable. Farmers
are plowing their corn over the sec
ond time. The first planting of cot
ton is up and looks very pretty. A
part of the wheat crop looks promis-
! war. while another part lias oeeu
choked out by the rapid growth of
weeds. The finest prospect for all
kinds of fruit ever known in this prai
rie country.
Grceubackers seem to be the order
of the day. The money question is
producing considerable excitement
among the laboring classes. Clubs
j have been organized in nearly every
j precinct, and some able speeches de
i livered in behalf of the laboi iug man's
j interest. At our recent county coun
! ty convention delegates were elected
to the state convention, which meets
in Audio on the 15th of May, for the
purpose of promoting the progress of
the movement at large.
Though the Murphy movement
hasii't reached us yet, the cause of
temperance is receiving considerable
attention. Hon W. B. Young, the
uoted stale temperance lecturer, and
loved by the people of Texas, paid us
a pleasant visit last week. His ad
dresses were earnest, eloquent and ef
fectuali . Many of the greatest ine
briates of our country were induced to
take the pledge. Local option, a law
prohibiting the use of iutoaicants of
any kind, except in cases of extreme
necessity, prevailed in this county till
about two months ago, when a re
election was ordered, and the law was
defeated by the voters for prohibition
staying at home on the day of the
election. When will the advocates
of temperance rise and assert their
power? The law would have been
sustained had its advocates bten on the
election ground. Tho people will
never be redeemed from this curse
till they wake up to their duty. We
consider the cause of temperance as
the true sister of religion and the pro
moter of intelligence, morality and all
the virtues that tend to raise man
kind from sin and its associate miser
ies, and to lead to prosperity and hap
piness in this world and eternal bliss
to come. Then itbehoovesus as lov
ers of liberty, as lovers of happiness
aud prosperity in this world and the
eternal glory of the next, to exert all
of our power to stop the ravages of
intemperance, which are becoming
alarming in this lair land of ours. ..
With great surprise and sorrow we
read a notice of the death of Dr. Pur
ley. We knew him long, as a good
neighbor, kind and Christian gentle
man, and an excellent physician. He
was a promising man, just in the
prime of life, and he leaves many
friends, even on the. grassy plains of
Texas. But the Master hath need
of him. Oiir Iups is his gain. ; While
the church, Sundayvschoo! an3 neigh
borhood mourn his death, he has gone
to shake hands with the redeemed
on the hills of sweet deliverance and
peace. Farewell, Doctor.- We will
meet you again with other ties we
loved and cherished here. May the
blessings of God ret upon his bereav
ed family, and may they, with us all
meet again to part no more.

A I -DEBT C. Moore,
Oar .et Congressman.
From the Dyernbort Gaxette.
With this issue of the State Gazette,
it is our pleasure to announce Hon.
Wm. W. Vaughn, of Hay wood comi
ty, as a candidate to represent this Dis
trict in the 40th Congress of the Uni
ted States. PerscflaHy, we have no
feeling in this matter. To subserve tire
best interest of the people should be
and is our highest ambition. We know
of no object more worthy there cer
tainly is none more dignified or neces
sary jf accomplishment than to relieve
them of their burdens And if you
will present any other man in our di.
trict that is better calculated to produce
this result, name him and we w ill glad
ly support him. Weknow Col. Vaughn
as a self-made man; and there are those
in or county who knew him ) ears ago
iu Wilson county, naming him only to
praise. He is the sou of & Curnderland
Presbyterian minister. Raised up" oil
the farm, by dint of honest industry
and an energy that triumphed over
every obstacle, his own exertion has
made hira what he is. He is honest,
faithful, competent and experienced.
He is a man of practical results. It was
remarked to us the other day that
through and by his public and private
labors, over one thousand teen, worneh
aud children ha7e been fed, clothed
aud cared for through the two oppres
siveyearspast and gone. (Jol. Vaughn
was the author of the Memphis Custom
House, now bcifig erected, which will
bring fre?n the United States Treasury
notices than one half million ofdollarsi
While representing the Memphis dis
trict with splendid ability in the 42d
Congress, he relieved judgments and
collected claims fcr his constituents to
the amount of ?70,000. We sent froin
this town a petition to him, through
the Chamber of Commerce at Mem-,
phis, to see if something could not b&
done for the Forked-Deer river from
Dyersburg to the Mississippi river, and
although it was but a few days before
Congress adjourned, he succeeded in
getting an appropriation of five thou
sand dollars, with which, onr readers
will remember, the river was surveyed.
It elected to this Congress, as he surely
will be, he will succeed in having the
Forked-Deer clecmnl out from Dyers
burg to the mouth. Our Dyer county
people will see from the above that
they have already found an old friend
in Col. Vaughn. His bill, making it
a p nal offence for Marshals or their
deputies to go out of their own counties
and make arrests, but forces all pre
liminary trials for violations of the rev
enue laws to come before a countv
commissioner and if guilty then to be
bound over to the Federal co'irt, is
greatly needed. But wc haven't time
now to even sketch all the good he has
done. We can safely say there is no
taint of high taxes nor sympathy with
the bondholder alwut him. As the
field now stands, Col. Vaughn is the
decided choice of the great majority yf
the people of Dyer county. I lis feal
ty to the people is unim peached. His
ability to fill the place of Congressman
from the 9th District has bven anply
exemplified during one term in Con
gress. He now r.sks this district to re
turn him to the place he has qualified
himself to fill. Ills record is spotless.
He is a brave and fearless gentleman,
a ready debater and a finished orator
and will always bo at his place in Con
gress to fight for the best interests of
his home people.
Attention, Assessors!
The Assessors recently elected by
the county court would do well to per
use carefully the following section of
an act passed by the Legislature atiu
last session, touching the assessment
of property :
Be it further ena ted, That the As
sessors hall complete their assessment
on or before the first Monday in J une
of each year, and on that day shall
meet at the court-house of their re
spective counties, and shall orgauize
as a Board of Equalization, and when
organized shall make such examinas
lions, comparisons, corrections, aud al
terations as may be necessary to pro
duce a fair and just equalization of
the assessments in the several districts
and wards in said county.
