Sftvinc nothing of the cram mar of the above, we believe we do know why a rival Ohautauqna is proposed at Georgetown, vis.: to Rive a chance to certain soreheads to figure as leaders, whioh they failed to find here. We believe the old adage that "the darkest hotx Is just before day," is applica ble at this time. With the vantage ground gained the past season, with the almost certain prospect of even a better season, there must, we think, be a steady revival in business daring the earning spring and sum mer.

We met Representative Ellison on Mon day and he promised to have sent ns from Austin, occasional letters giving the true inwardness" of legislative proceedings. That is something, we know, whicn onr ..i.t will itnnreciate. as well as the shrewd and kind consideration of "Uncle Jnke," as the young folfes style nun.

After some discussion a committee of three consisting of Gid Jobuson, A. A, Thomas aud Fred Urowu was appointed to oolleot means to the aniouut ot $700 to se cure a programme for this year's session, and another oommittee consisting of Mayor Hardy, Ed, J. L, Green aud Thos. John son to solioit subscriptions of stock in the Real Estate Association as auxilllsry to the Chautauqua. Some two thousand dollars was subscribed on tho spot, and we learn the other committee have collected about half of the requirod $700. We learn that Mr. DuBoso baa promised positively to lend his invalu blo aid, and the probabilities now are that we shall have the most successful session of the Obau tuu qua this year that wo have ever had. Flowers in 51 Id winter. West Texas thus far tho preseut season, has fairly rivalod Southern California in oliniato. Peach and pear troe leaves are still greou on the trees, while roses and even more dolicato flowers are not rare. We woro forcibly reminded of theso facts this week by tho presentation by our friend, Mrs. Gid Johnson, of a large and elegant bouquot of choloe tea rosea of soveral dif ferent yaricitlos. Although in mid winter, It would graoe the spring time any day. The grounds about tho bouse of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, although in cultivation ouly a couple of years, are already famed for a profusion of choice flowers, as they will soon be for fruits also. Nor is this oaso ex ceptional in Texas, for the same blessed morning in came Master Danlol MurchtBon, son of our friend M. II. Murohison, with another bouquet of roses and other flowers, also of fine varieties while diversified in color, Mr. M, not only has grounds ad mirably "sot off" with flowers but is ouo of our most successful growers of grapes and other fruits. We wonder what our friendH at tho north will think of our winter gardens horo in Texas. Church Matters. The Methodists of this plaoe, who sineo conference have not had regular ministerial services, were quite overjoyed at the arrival of their regular pastor In charge, Rev. Mr. Scott. He held his first services on Sun day mornng last, when ho preached to a large aud nppreoiativo audience. High hopes are entertained of a period oi sua- dessful minis-torial labor. Elder Wilkins. the Christian minister mentioned in our last, held several meetings in spite of the rain and mud. He proaohed on Sunday a very good sermon on man. principally in his religious relations. The preacher is a fine singer as well. We learn that arrangements Tare sought to tie maao to secure his services for this place and Lockhort jointly. This ought to be prac tical now that the distance between these points is almost annihilated. It seems to us the Presbyterians also might be abld to make a Bimilar arrangement.

I ditioontlv in tho future than In tho past Vory gool, so long as those resolutions aro put in practico. But how many resolve and re resolvo aud never stun to aseoud In thescaloof moral worth? Vorily, many seem to think resolutions will suffice, still plod along the paths of mediocrity. Many of us who till the soil for a liveli hood bemoan our condition and tliiuk thiugs are nuoqually divided, yet by a cloie diag nosis of tho disoaso and sin that so hinder in tho road to suooess and prosperity, tho fault may bo found lylug at our own door. Wo do beliovo wo litter a truth when wo say that no individual can truly succeed whoso thought nro not well directed, whoso aims are not noble, whoso aetious are not such as bocomo a num. This, we think, cau bo made applicable from a moral or financial standpoint. As to the finances of tlio agricultural peo ple wo aro boyoud a doubt too extravagant. Many times wo make extravagant storo bills, thoreby jeopardizing our fiuanoiiU Btonding, This, no doubt, oovors ono of our greatest failings. By avoiding this one extrayagnno, and keeping tho corners up around our farms, wo way yet outride the storm notwithstanding tho combination of syndicates. This has truly boon a wot wlntor, and judging the futuro by tho pant, we will have a dry spring for a crop. One eitremo follows another. No plowing of any con seqneneo has born done, and from preio-.t prospects cannot fairly begin to operate be fore February and tho soil will vory likoly be quite cloudy. Now Mr. Editor, we do not wish to weary you or trespass upon your readers, so we will make our bow, wishing you and tho oouutry at large, a happy now year. J. T. D. Tell. The quiet and peaceful hamlet designat ed by the above name, is probably un known to most people evon iu the couuty, who reside ten miles or more from the site of its looation. It takes iU name from the Rey. Mordecai Tell, who I believe has the honor of being first on the list in the State In his holy calling, as he also was tho first itinerant preacher known to the State of protestant persuasion, which dtes back to the days of the Ropublio of Texas, or fifty years ago. Tell is situated about midway between Kyle and Blanoo City, and one short year or two asro, it seemed to promise to become a place of some importanoe as it boasted a steam mill aud gin, a large new store and two blacksmith shops. But alas for hu man hopes I all is now changed; the mill aud ffin have been removed to New Mar- tlndale and the storo went with thorn while tho the two blacksmiths have both 3 At.-:- .!.UI. ntn.A Innnndaoa I cone and thoir smithies stand tonantless Amongst the folks who loft to try fl Alo fortune on the prairies three years ago Mr. Dyas with his family have returned. At any rate ho won a wife while he was away, and as for the rest, I think it is ohiefly ex perience. Another neighbor, Mr. John R. Ross, was made happy on New Tear's eve by Miss Annie Quick bestowing npon him her hand and hoart, and we join In con gratulating tho happy quartette. Now another old citizen and long rest- dent, Mr. Tom J. Staples, has determined on relinquishing farming end trying car pentoring in Austin. We all wish him evory success, Other changes have occur, ed amonst them Old Mr. Starr and family have loft for somo plaoe west of San An tonio. Owing to the contlnuod rains no attempt has been made to clear or break the land, and wo are free to confess we find it vory hard to in everything give thanks, and the best we can do is to try and koop an even keel. We had the ploasnro of a visit from Mr. and Mrs' Robert Harold aud family from Blanco City, a fow days ago. Mr. H. is one of tho Union soldiers in the Mexican campaign and much respected by all who know him. Well, Mr. Editor, this is the season for good resolutions, but we have bo lamentably failed in that line that we can't make you any promises for the fu ture or our conscience might have occasion to accuse ns and we already got many a prick, but wo do wish you a very happy and prosperous Now Tear, Ah Old Tbiend.
