Serbin. Lee the continued showers for the last week-, farmers aro busy planting their crops.

There will ho an increase in acreage of cotton and corn in this section this year. For the last three years the raising- of hogs has been jursuetl here and found to be very profitable. Tobacco is also quite an Industry, some making as much off their hogs and tobacco as on their cotton. Gonzales, Gonzales of the heaviest rains of the season visited the vicinity of Gonzales Friday morning. Tho ground for farming purposes Is in the very best condition possible and farmers are making rapid headway In planting their grain.

A larse acreage of corn nas already been planted and everybody seems to be ahead with thw ppriiiK work. During the present year thousands of acres of new land will be put in cultivation for tho first timo. several hundred Immigrant families from the old states having recently settled in this county. "Moreycotton and less corn" is tho slogan year among farmers at tho ratio of. about 40 to GO in favor of tho cotton.

Shepherd. San Jacinto only topic of interest in this county at present is farming. The weather so far has bttn rather unfavorable, owing to too much rain, though the planters congratulate thi-mselves with tho idea that a wet winter Konnrally portends a dry sumnu-r, ond that is all this portion of the country requires to ensure a good crop, for when it rains he.re. it pours. Corn planting is progrpss- ing.

and some corn is up. though but little cotton land has lieen brokf-n yet. Farmers are getting desperate over the prospects of cotton, and many ore i their attention to sugur for i portion of Tiisas In rwilly better io irnno than it is to cotton, and though near tho limits of the- cane belt, owing to tho richness of the land and i i of tht; cllmalc-, c.otton goes too to wi-ed. Sugar cane, however, seems to i better than corn or cotton, and usually matures here to about feet, though it often attains to a greater length. The Trinity river lands produce as good cano ns the IJrazoH.

and in the counties of Chambers, Liberty, Polk, Kan Jacinto. Walker and Trinity, as nearly as The News correspondent can estimate, them are between rind 1000 square miles of sugar 'and which Is wiunl to any in Louisiana. The, only reason why cane IB not planted here to tho exclusion of cotton Is the of wator transportation, for though, lower Trinity Is navigable for steamers for at least six months in the year, still, since the railroads have pushed across the river the steamers have abandoned the trade and the distances between the. railroads (forty nnd fifty miles) makes the transport a i too expensive, on sueh henvy freights sugar miti syrup.

In the city new buildings, both, business and residence, of a substantial nature are daily building, and in the country many new acres are being put under fence and in cultivation, and a bet- it class of houses are also going up there.

The live farmer in this section has his ground all plowed, and many-shave corn up three to four Inches high, and some have cotton up. As for the corn we are an eyewitness. We were shown and convinced to- day what strawberries will do here. Plants brought from Alvin In January last, planted here, covering only a few feet of ground, have been bearing a magnificent berry for three weeks, and six quarts have already jeen gathered from tlie few feet of plants this season. This business alone promises a great future for this part of Texas.

Jt not'generally known this plant will thrive here, and as soon as it is there will acre alter ucre put In. The berry grown ere. is not the puny, small berry we get jy express from the different points making the raising of them a business, but 1 they are as large as can be grown anywhere. And yet there is no great rush to southern Texas, and consequently land is obtainable at mode-rate prices. Tho Aransas Harbor and Northern railroad surveying corps have surveyed 'die line into Cutro since our last writing, ami it is hoped and pretty generally thought that many more moons i not have passed before the line will be in equipage and ope.ra.tlun, as one of the and most productive portions of the statu is traversed by this new line of road.

WM. CHAS. BALL. Jackitou County. Edna, March careful survey of the general industrial condition of Jackson county will reveal many indications of gradual development and grooving prosperity among the people.

The various neighborhoods and communities are more, or.less marked with new houses and farm improvements. Many new farms have been opened and -many acres of the rich prairie lands will be cultivated for the first time this year. Many renters and actual settlers have moved into the county since last fall, and, generally speaking, they arc well supplied with tfood teams and farming-implements for testing the productiveness of our rich coast lands. Planting Is rapidly progressing, although work has been somewhat retarded by the late rains. (Jorn, of which a crop will be planted, is reported up.on many farms and will soon receive its first plowing.

Cotton planting will commence about the 20th or 23th of this month and it is safe to estimate an increased acreage of at least 25 per cent of that staple. The experience of the last two or three years has not been without wholesome lessons in warning the people of the mistaken policy of incurring debts for such iccessary supplies as can be raised at loine. To this end much attention is being given to the orchards and vegetable gar- lens, and also to poultry, pigs, milk, butter, for home use. By the rules of economy now being practiced by ail classes if would look like the business interest In all channels and departments is gradually adjusting Itself through prudence, to the prevailing monetary conditions of the country at large. Thus, if the money crops should fail to yield satisfactory returns, the county will have an abundance of food supplies, anil the masses of the people will not bo burdened with debts for their living expenses.

Aside from the discontent growing- out of the general financial depression and tho disturbed political condition of the country, there Is a feeling of assurance and confidence that next year will bring better times and a revival of trade and rc- Kfcwed prosperity to all. lOdna, the county continues to grow and prosper. New huildings are constantly going up and the city limits are gradually and permanently growing and spreading. While trading is being done i i sure and conservative bounds, the merchants apparently are doinx well. Tho schools all have enrollments of pupils and ample facilities for education arc offered to all within the scholastic ages.

Tho county has just received Its new brick jail, which is quite a.neat structure. Thfi J. C. Traylor two-story brick building Is rapidly approaching completion and is quite an ornament to a part-of the city. The Edna brickyard company complete Us building and have its machinery In full working order within ten days.

The manager, Mr. K. Rorhefort, claims that ho has lir.st-clans clay that the plant will i out bricks per day. J. W.
