Editor Gazette: "Facts are chiels that winna ding and dinna bo disputed." Robert Uurns, tne poet, Baid so and probably he know for ho had several hard facts to contend with in his short but eventful yot withal merry life. It is a fact that Murphy, osier & vo. killed a largo loafer wolf in this immediato vicinity last week but Stonewall has taken the Shine (r) out of Dilworth in recording tha tight, so for the nonce our side of the story will bo kept "sub thum bo." If that is not good Latin let Stonewall beat it as the Institute here is not yet flourishing although the school master is abroad. Mrs. Hammond, whose husband died Very suddenly about a yoar ago, has with her charming lamily gone to Austin to reside Dancing and merry parties are taking placo around hero almost every evening so that notwith standing tho very changeable weathsr there are many enjoyablo gatherings among both white folks anu colored. One fact, or rather what ought to bo a fact, is that tho Gazette should have many more subscrib ers in this district. Your corres pondent's oyo iB upon a few of tho most-likely-to-bo and it is quito possible that within a few days the mail bag may bo a little heavier than tor somo timo past. Dr. Minton is proparing his home here previous to his final settle ment with us. He has bought the store for some time occupied by Undo Ben Geary and the lumber is laid down for a culinary and dormitory addition to the premises. Probably next weok will Bee the doctor's shingle hung to the breezo. Uncle Ben is going to establish his grocery storo at the cross-roads be tween hero and Gonzales with a view to share tho trado with the "village" of Gonzales and tho "'city" of Dilworth. Uncle Ben, success to you and don't forget to sub scribe to tho Gazette. A very serious firo occurred about three miles from town on Thursday between noon and 1 p. m. Mr. Gertsche, a renter of Mr. II. K. Jones', had his corn crib, shacks of fodder and 250 bushelB of corn burnt. How the fire origi nated is a mystery. A strong dry norther was blowing and it seems tho pasture grass caught firo first by some raeans,at present unknown and beforo it could be put out the fodder and corn crib caught and were destroyed. Mr. Jones had iust built a new dwelling house and crib and Mr. Gretsche had just moved his effects and corn from Fitzgerald's land to tho new pre mises. Fortunately tho dwelling houso was saved but it was a nar row escape and the loss of so much to any poor farmer is a very heavy one. It is rumored there is a movement on foot by his neighbors and friends to help Mr. GretscUo in his dire necessity. Frank says the pecan eater tm last week's Gazette is not him. There might be a doubt about it but in the somnal movements mo boy keeps repeating; '-This is tlis last one," just the same as Frank dots when he is asked to divide. Mrs. Watts of Victoria, who has been on a visit to her brother, Mr. John Bell at Stonewall, took tha train for Gonzales to visit other relatives. MrB. Bartsch, senior, from Shi ner has been visiting her Bona hero the last week. Mrs. Mary Foster at Mrs. Bra dies' had her little daughter, n ho is in school at Lulinp, on a visit for a day or two. She left again on Saturday to resume her studiex. The wife of Mr. Frank Bartsch presented him on Monday morn ing a fine daughter. Mother and child aro doing well. Mrs. Anna Jones Kennard hao returned irom Rockport and Cor nua Christl and tho salt soa breeze and inhalation of old ocean's ozone seem to have given her more health and sprighHiness. Mr. J. B?Ken nard did not return with her but came back on Sunday. Dilworth, (I
