t'tittutauqua Meetlup.
A well attended meeting of our cltlton
was held at the court bouse on yesterday,
to take aotlon as to the future of our Chau
tauqua. 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.

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.

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

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
