Standard [Clarksville, TX], April 14, 1860
The weather is dry and sunshiny. Rain much needed—a great deal of corn planted, cannot come up without it. Everything will be late this year.
The River is nearly run out. We shall live in hope of more water. We want that railroad iron to get into Sulphur, and we want to see some Bacon and Flour brought up the stream, or both will be scarce here.
