Forney

FORNEY, June 13 - Forney is now very quiet as far as business is concerned. We are having some little excitement to-day, as to-morrow will tell us who shall be our city officers. We have quite a number of aspirants for aldermanic honors, and in fact the race will be very interesting through the entire ticket.

Our hay men are now taking advantage of the sunshine. They are bringing it in at the rate of ten car loads per day and are crowded with orders. This is regarded as the hay centre of north Texas, at least our producers say they are patronized from every section of the state.

Dr. Sewell has just completed the school census of this precinct. It numbers 100, the second school precinct of the county [sic]. We would like to have a first class teacher to come among us and build up a permanent school.

Farmers are quite busy and will in a few days have their crops in good condition. We will yet make an average crop, everything being favorable from this time.
