temperature of the air we breathe,
otwithstanding the opinion current
tith lovers of cold weather, a fire in the

Chapped Hill, Texas, May 0, 1879.
Mr. Editor —l am an ex-Dadeite. I
have received three copies of the Ga
zette; I like it very much, and if I
thought I could contribute anything in
the way of news that would bo likely to
interest any of its readers, i would most
assuredly be happy to do so.
lam living at Chdppel Hill, Wash
ington county, Texas, a very nice little
town of about 800 inhabitants. It is di
vided into three wards, namely: Chris
tian Ridge, Baptist Hill and Up In
Town. Jt has three handsome church
buildings: Methodist, Baptist and Pres
byterian, with regular pastors and Sab
bath schools; also two large and band
some college buildings, with flemishing
schools in each; the Soul University,
male; and Chappel Hill Female College,
The Austin branch of the Central
railroad runs throng this place, two or
three trains passing daily. There is
about twenty business houses doing bus
iness here. Merchandise of every de
sciipt ion can be purchased here at about
the same price as in older states.
The health of this vicinity is as good
as any portion of the southern country
where corn and cotton can be grown s ic
ccssfully. The land produces very well.
Farmers make from one-hall to one bale
of cotton, and from twenty to sixty bush
els of corn per acre, according to cultiva
tion and seasons, and the rain tails are
as regular as in most of the cotton grow
ing regions of the south.
1 think (to make a long story short)
this part of Texas is uiisurpas.se l as a
farming country; however there is too
much negro labor here. (Society is some
what impaired by the negroes—they are
too strong at the polls. We would be
better off if the negro was gone and in
their stead a class of sober, industrious
frugal white citizens, such as are not
afraid of labor and are anxious to im
prove their financial condition, and who
would sympathize tht white peo
ple’s interest at the ballot box, and aid
in securing such wholesome restraints
in the administration of county affairs,as
will secure the common good.
Crops are looking well —prospects
generally good.
Farmers are laying by corn, plowing
cotton Arc. Respectfully,
Bittle Till.
Mr. Editor. —Seeing a paper the oth
er day from your place to \Y. P. 11.
Tatum, I was gratified to learn that a
paper is published there, also to hear
from the boys and general news through
your paper. 1 left your place in 187f).
I am near the Brasses River in which
there is plenty offish, and game on its
banks.
Crops are flattering here.
AYe live with half the labor here that
they do in old states.
If you have room in your columns for
this you can publish it for the sake of
my friends there us they probably may
think I’m dead.

Ed. Gazette —ln ycur paper of May
Bth appeared a conf; iiunication under
the caption of and
signed “Starcye;” but “Starcyc” is a
misnomer. Depend upon it, some moon
eyed, cross-eyed individual wrote that
edifying article. Perhaps it was our
little would-be Wildwood Blue-stucking
—a second Madam de Stuel in our midst,
>f whose critical acumen we have such
convincing evidence. Ah, what a fine
tiling it is to be a critic! But Lady
Blue’s license has carried her beyond the
bounds of etiquette, and allowed her
privileges which, were 'she not a genius
, and a criti *, would he considered not on
ly egotistic, hut ungenerous, and ex
tremely impolite. Of course we are hum
bled to tin dust by her contempt and ho

bad the ill luck to belong to that fishing
party; hit wo would respectfully sug
gest for Lady Blue’s consideration the

1 daresay the “good people of Wild
l wood” feel doubly paid for the courte
ous invitation they extended to Lady
Blue; and as for the young men—“small
minnows”, 1 should have said—they
have resolved to show their high appre

will have a magnificent judge’s stand, or
rather a critic’s bench. This will he an
elevated seat, supported by gigantic pil
lars five feet high,and substantial enough

Ed. Gazette —About a week ago
Rev. Jacob Houts started a meeting on
Etna Mountain, which, from the inter
est shown and the evidont good pros
pects to bring souls into the fold of
God, was continued until the present
writing. The meeting resulted in four
persons being most happily converted,
several baptisms, and five accession* to
the church. Business compelled Bro.
Houts to bring the meeting to a close,
whereas several penitents were still re
maining at the altar. He contemplates,
as he says, “to try them again soon,”
and lie having secured the promise of
the penitents to hold out faithful, will
doubtless have another glorious revival
there. Bro. H. is ever aiivc- to the in
terest of the church, and ever untiring
for the advancement of the cause he so
creditably to himself arid church defends.
Very Respectfully, Marius.

Quarterly ’fedsaig.
This meeting began last Saturday by
an able, practical sermon by Rev. J. 11.
Keith, and in the evening there was a
long, interesting session of the quarterly
conference. We were saddened by t lie
meagre reports from the stewards. We
elicited the regretful information that
there had not been one-third of the as
scssmeiiLUtfi^^ML.half of the
conference year gone. /Brethren this will
never do; we must pay trie ministers of
Christ if we would prosper.
The interest of the meeting was great
ly enhanced by the presence of Uc\t J.
W. Robertson, who has been at the
Vanderbilt University at fc for
some time. We learned frondnTim that
he would go immediately to the Wash
ington circuit to Jill out the line/wired
year, caused by the illness of lireJßar
ett. Bro R, is a rising young man,
and vve wish him much success.
The meeting continued with a tolera*
hie degree of interest for several days.
Rev. J. ID Keith preached several
warm and glowing sermons during the
meeting.
The next quarterly meeting is to be
at Sulphur Springs, near Wildwood,

I know you loved me long ago,

When my cheeks with health did glow,

When I bad friends and lovers too,
And plenty love to share,
There was none so good and kind as vou,
An 1 “love me,” was your prayer.
My heart was happy llien, and free;
Ere long by some mysterious fate,
I found my heart had gone out to thee;
1 tried to stop it, but it was too late.
You knew it, 1 t‘ol i you about it,
And O, flow happy you did appear;
My love ! you Could not live without it,
And “love me always,” was your
prayer.
Now my frionds have all grown cold,
And few, if any, court my favor,
But the worst o f ali in this is told,
You, too,, have g own unclever.

But no regrets —if I’d a thousand hearts

They would all he thine as one.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVEIif.
An Article that Will Make the I’.nhl and
w the Lirajr Headed Rejoice.
Of all the compounds which the chemist’s
art has given to the world, for hundreds
of years, for the purpose of restoring the
hair to its natural giowth and color, not
one has been perfect. Many of the hair
dressings of the day are excellent, but the
great mass of the stuffs sold for promoting
the growth and bringing back the original
color are mere humbugs, while not a few
are positively pernicious in their efforts
upon the scalp and the structure of the
hair. All hair dyes are well known to
chemists as more or less poisonous, be
cause the change in color is artificial, and
does not depend upon a restoration of the
functions of tfie scalp to their natural
health and vigor. The falling out of the
hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and
the premature change in color, are all evi
dences of a diseased condition of the scalp
and the glands which nourish the hair. To
arrest these causes the article used must
po soss medical as well as chemical virtues.
hii 1 t lie change must begin ?m</cu the scalp
to he of permanent and lasting benefit
Such an article has been discovered, and
like many other wonderful discoveries it ig
found to consist of elements almost in their
natural state. oil is the article
which is made to work suc h extraordinary
results; but it is a'ter the best refined- arti
cle ley been chemically treated, and com
pletely deodorized, that it is in proper con
dition for the toilet, it was in far-off Rus
sia that the effects of petroleum upon the
hair were first observed; a Government
officer having notic-*d that a partially bald
headed servant of his, when trimming the
lamps, had a habit of wiping his od be
smeared hands in his scanty locks, and the
result was, in a few months, a much finer
head of black, glossy hair, than he ever
had he fore. The oil was. tried on horses
and cattle that had lost their hair from the
cattle plague, and the results were as rapid
as they were marvelous. The moms and
even the tails ef horses which had fallen
out were completely restored in a few weeks,
these experiments were heralded lo the
World, but the knowledge was practically
useless to the prematurely bald and gray,
as no one in civilized society could tol
erate the use of refined petroleum as a
dressing for the hair. But the skill of one
of our chemists has overcome theditlicully,
and, by a process known only to hi ins It',
Le has, after very elaborate and costly ex
periments, succeeded in deodorizing refined
petroleum, which renders it susceptible of
being handled as daintily as the famous
enn de coloyne. The experiments widi the
deodorized 1 quid on the human hair were
attended with the most astonishing results.
A few applications, where the hair was t hin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor
to the scalp and the hair, and the natural
color began to appear almost from the first
application. Every particle of dandruff
disappears on the fir-t or second dressing,
and the liquid, so seunrhiug in its nature,
seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and
set up a radical change from the start. It
is well known that the most beautiful col
ors are made from petroleum, and by some
mysterious oe atiou of nature the urn oi
this artieie gradually imparts a beautiful
light brown color to the hair, which, by
continued use, deepens to a black. The
color remains permanent for an indefinite
length of time, and the change is so grad
ual that the most intimate friends can
scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it
is the most wonderful discovery of the age,
and well calculated to make the prema
turely bald and gray rejoice. The imma
