George F. Wharton has announced as a candidate for sheriff of Jackson county. Bishop Johnson preached at the Episcopal church in this city last Friday evening. Pete Miller, who is well known in this county, was killed in the northern portion of this state, last week, by a man named Martin. The coming campaign promises to be a very lively one in this county, and from what we can hear every candidate will have opposition. Andy McClary, who was for a long time superintendent of the county farm, but now lives in Ashby, Matagorda county, was in this city several days this week.

Several large deals are on the table now, between local stockmen. Of all the plans suggested to prevent the overflow of the town that occurs after each heavy rain the one to cut a ditch from Dry creek to the Lavaca river seems most feasible.

Edna, May 9.--Some of the future governors, congressmen, and perhaps a future president of the United States (not of the Hannacrat type, however) comprised a crowd of youngsters and babies that were treated to a royal reception at the hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Malsch, on Tuesday, the 8th instant, the occasion being the fourth birthday dinner of their little son Zygo. Nearly every child in Edna under 4 years of age was present--having attended in response to the following unique invitation: "I want you to come and play with me on Tuesday, May 8, 1900. Others are coming, why not you? I will be 4 years old then. Zygo Malsh" Besides the mothers and fathers, many of Edna's envying old bachelors were present and not infrequently were seen caressing some of the little ones, speaking words of advice--bespeaking the folly of their own single blessedness. In one of the children's contests Master Lafayette Ward, Jr., age 2 years, carried off the first prize. Master Zygo was the recipient of many presents that will remind him in hoary old age of his fourth birthday. The occasion was a gathering of little children that will make history for our county, State and Nation.

Mr. J. C. Dobbs, one of Edna's most promising young students, has retired from the drug business, having sold his entire interest to his partner, Mr. E. L. Faires. Mr. Dobbs will leave this week for Memphis, Tenn., where he will finish his graduation course in a medical college and enter the field as a practicing physician. In parting from Edna he carries with him the best wishes of a host of warm friends and admirers. Dr. P. K. Miller, the old established physician of Morales, accompanied by Mr. Geo. Anderson, was down Monday laying in a supply of drugs. Dr. Miller informed us that there has been a great amount of sickness in his neighborhood this season, principally malignant bowel trouble, but at present he says the condition of health is much improved. The Bloomer social given by the Aid Society of the Methodist Church at the D. O. Carraway residence last Friday night was a decided success, yielding $75.00 cash--more than sixty persons being on hand and every one dressed in a la mode of Bloomerville, excepting alone two members of the Society, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Lesesne, who were toll gate keepers. The bloomers together with cake, etc., were furnished by the society for twenty-five cents each. Think of it--a score or more of church people walking around in bloomer costume! The costume consisted in the usual dress with flowers (blooms) pinned here, there and everywhere; if they were not bloomers, what were they? George Wharton, candidate for sheriff, spent several days in Edna the past week. Mr. R. A. Drake has discontinued his confectionery business in Edna and has accepted a position a position in the dry goods store of P. H. Kurtz. Mr. Joe Whitley of the Navidad section will leave for Galveston Sunday as a juror in Federal Court. Bob Griffith of Inez was over Saturday and made a shipment of two carload of beeves to New Orleans. Since the dry hot weather has prevailed the hay maker is getting in good time, but very few shipments have been made due to the scarcity of cars. Messrs Harwood, Ward and others have been losing a number of spring calves, which are supposed to have died from black leg. Mr. Wm. Bergbrede will leave next Sunday for Galveston where he has been summoned as a petit juror in Federal court. Mrs. A. Webb of the Navidad section, accompanied by her sister, Miss Ora Haynes came down Sunday and left for a short sojourn in Houston. A great amount of corn raised in Jackson county has been and is still being offered at 30c and 40c per bushel. Col. Allen, principal of the Edna High School, delivered an able sermon at the Methodist Church Sunday morning which was attentively listened to by a large congregation. Mrs. Maxwell, who has been in Edna for the past week as the guest of Mrs. Winnifred Young, departed for her home at Beeville Sunday, accompanied by her brother, Wiley Joiner. A few mornings ago V. T. Blalek went up on the Sandies and slayed a couple of nice young deer. The Progress is under obligations to him for a goodly supply of venison. Messrs. York and N. Strauss have five hundred head of beeves on feed in Goliad County. Mr. Tom Menefee, one of the ranchmen from near Ganado, delivered last week a carload of corn-fed hogs to N. P. Mauritz and Sons, which were shipped to Houston. This was perhaps the best lot of fat, improved hogs that has ever been sold in the county. On Thursday, Mr. H. J. Louchausen, well known and reliable Morales ginner, brought down 23 bales of extra cotton of his own raising, which he sold to J. W. Brickel. This makes 43 bales he has picked and ginned from his own farm, and expects to 15 or 20 more. A specimen of Jackson county raised rice was exhibited on our street a few days ago, which was of very fine quality, and several parties, well up on rice culture, who saw it were convinced that this section of the coast country is thoroughly adapted to the culture of this staple product. Mr. L. Ward, one of our lending ranchmen, returned last Thursday from the Indian Territory, where he had been for some time looking after a large herd of seven or eight hundred head of beeves he has pasturing.

Edna, Texas, January 15.--Another large shipment of cabbage will be made from here today and orders are on file for several thousand pounds to be shipped tomorrow. Truck growers are reaping a harvest this year, as they are getting good prices for their products, and finding ready market for same. The acreage will probably be increased considerably, as quite a number have expressed themselves as intending to put in several acres in cabbage and other vegetables, which will be in time for the spring trade. Prospects in this county were never brighter than now for good crops, and no doubt will be made, and land is cheap and rent reasonable.

The programme was arranged and managed by Mesdames Lafayette Ward and A. J. Compton and to the ladies is largely due the success of the evening. The entertainment was opened by a violin solo by Mr. Alfred P. Ward, accompanied by Mrs. L. Ward, which was rendered in a masterly manner and drew a liberal applause from the audience. Miss Norma Egg followed with a recitation which was also well received by those present. The balance of the programme was as follows: Mrs. L.

Malsch were selected as judges , and, being unable to decide which couple were entitled to the cake, decided the best way to settle the matter would be for the court to keep the cake. Something in the neighborhood of $75 was made clear of expenses.

Last Thursday afternoon Will St. John came as near passing over the Great Divide as a man well could and yet remain safely on this side. As far as chances between life and death were concerned the latter held the whole deck and then some, but was beaten. He was unloading a wagon of corn at the large barn of C. Branch in Edna when the second floor with about thirty tons of baled hay came crashing down upon him. People on Main Street heard the crash and were immediately upon the scene. Groans from the unfortunate man could be plainly heard at first, but before the large quantity of hay could be removed everything had become quiet, and the earnest rescuers expected to take from the debris a corpse instead of a living man. Perhaps ten minutes were consumed in getting him out, and he soon regained consciousness, none the worse from the terrible experience with the exception of a few painful bruises and the effects of the horrible shock. He fell between two 12-inch sleepers which protected him from the falling hay. In no other place under the fallen floor could he have been saved. The wagon he was standing in at the time of the accident was crushed into splinters, every spoke in the rear wheels being broken in several pieces, and it seems miraculous that the young man escaped with his life.--Edna Herald

That is the kind of sidewalks Charles Eason, manager of the Victoria Concrete Company, is putting down for several Edna people.
