Fine Crops--Church and Personal Notes.

Special to the Times-Herald.

    MESQUITE, July 28.--Having heard so many complaints about a short cotton crop in the last few weeks and not having any room for doubt, the TIMES-HERALD reporter drove out in the country Sunday to see for himself and was agreeably surprised to find crops looking fine, especially cotton. In our opinion, this will be one of the largest cotton crops Texas ever had. The only kick coming to the farmer will be the low price.
    Miss Bonny Coats of Long creek and Mr. O'Neal of Vernon were married at the bride's residence Sunday evening, Rev. Adair officiating. They left for Vernon Monday morning. As the reporter was not present, we can't say how numerous and handsome the presents were.
    Rev. J. T. Pinson of Forney, assisted by Rev. Mr. Kay of Garland, are protracting a meeting at the Baptist Church.
    Miss Lena Knox of Dallas is in the city this week visiting relatives.
    Master Dennis Collins, a bright lad of Dallas, is out spending the week with Mr. and Mrs. John Duff.
    J. B. Wilson of Dallas was out Monday looking after affairs on his ranch.
    A "scrap" took place on Marshall's ranch, west of Mesquite the other day. A knife and a club were the weapons used. No serious result.
    Mr. Tom Motley, who lives north of this place, is suffering with a broken jaw. Been playing base ball.
    Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chapman have returned home after an extended visit at Denver, Col.
