Ellis Simpson and Emanuel Helms, t)f New Salem township had a watery experience which they will not soon iorgot. They started to cross Richardson's creek, which was 1 t swollen by the rains, a few days ago, and their wagon and team of mules went down stream in stead of cross it. Messrs. Simp 8 >n and Helms left their wagon ( and got ashore. 1 he mules were cut loose some distance below the ford and the wagon wcut a mile ? a or more down stream. A hog, which was in a largo box in the ? ( wagon, floated out and went down t the stream about a mile and a half u and was found two days later ' floating in the box in which it s was fastened, alive and squealing % for something to eat. ?

Austin, Tex./ Dec. 7.?Three portions of boundary lines of the State of Texas are in dispute, the latest being the eastern lino north of Red river. Thore has just been tiled in the State Land OHice a report of work under the act of Congress, of 1901, requiring the Secretary of the Interior to establish the one hundredth uiciidian, which forms the eastern boundary of Texas, from lied river, in Childress county, north, to and including Lipscom county. It was tirst understood that the now line would give Texas a strip of eight miles of the Indian Territory, hut the report makes the startling calculation and fixes the meridian so that Texas loses h strip of land three-fourths of a mile wide, taking off that much of the eastern edge of Lipscomb, Hemphill, Wheeler, Collingsworth and Childress counties, a total loss of 112 half-sections, or 72,000 acres, which has always been regarded as part of Texas. If this corner, as lately marked is made permanent, the people who own the property now on the west, formeily on tho ea->t side of the line, will tic without title and lose the land as a deed from Texas will l?e worthless. This late locution will stand un less tho State of Texas can prevail on Congress to authorizo a joint survey and a now line to he marked. To Care: A C< Id in One Day.

Friend^ of | Crura are much crestfallen over the announcement, as the fact that the president was considering until today and with such care the programme placed before him last week had encouraged them to believe the negro stood a good chance to land in the internal collcctorship. The negro still remains south in the cold and the president is still undecided what, to do about the marshal ship and the electorship of the port of Charleston.
