^Next to Denison, Gainesville is
one of the handsomest and most
flourishing cities in Northwestern
Texas. It is delightfully situated in
the heart of a fine country for agri-
cultural purposes. It is our purpose
in this article to speak of Gaines-
ville in brief.
Nearly half the merchants were for-
merly engaged 111 business in this city.
With the completion of the rail-
road to that point, people commenc-
ed flocking there from all sections of
Northern Texas. Denison contribut-
ing more than her quota. One meets
so many familiar faces in Gaines-
ville that the visitor from Denison
cotton wh'ch has found its way to
the Sherman market in the past,
must in the nature of things, go to
Gainesville.
Louie Goldsoll is doing business

were employed to wait on custom-

to more commodious quarters.

The Chronicle denies the state-
ment of the Courier that it is the
organ of countv-attomey Turner.
This is news, as the impression was
quite general that Turner owned
stock in the Chronicle, and thereby
controlled its patronage to a certain
extent.
The Rev, Heuring, of Gaines-
ville, conducted the morning and
evening services at the M.E. church
Sunday. He was Noftsingev's spir-
itual advisor, and briefly alluded to
(lie sad fate of that young man. The
Reverend gentleman is en route to
attend the world M. E. conference
at Cincinnati.
Dr. W- J. Gibson, of Ark., writes:
"For many years my wife was a sufferer
from a terrible 4ema|e complaint that
baffled the skill of all physicians aryund
me. There seemed no hope for her. I
was made acquainted with Dr. Drom-
goof's English Female Bitters, and know-
ing them to be good, I procured several
botticc and placed her upon its use They
cared her sound and well, and I do not
•♦ite to say, they saved her life."

<onwood Springs, Colorado, "You
are just right when you say Denison
is a pretty good town, after all.

mountains for a few weeks he begins
to think Texas is a paradise. I
have met at least 500 Texans and
they all want to go home after they
have struck it rich. I am afraid

New time tables will go into ef-
fect on the M., K. & T. and H. &
T. C. -next Sunday. The day ex-
press going north will, probably
leave Denison about 1130 p. m. in-
stead of is noon, as at present. The
passenger train from the north will
arrive about 1 140 p. m., fifty min-
utes earlier than now. The night
express trains will also leave and ar-
rive somewhat earlier.
The banns of matrimony between
Peter Smit, engineer M., K. & T.,
and Miss Josephine Lane, were pro-
claimed at St. Patrick's church last
Sunday. The ceremony will take
place in the church next Sunday and
Reverend Father Derue will tie the
knot.; _
In our article on Gainesville, we
inadvertently forgot to mention Yei-
del. Yeidel is a permanent institu-
tion of Gainesville, and cannot be
ignored. You will find him on East
California street. He has the coolest
drinks in the city.
A Correction.
We are requested to correct the
impression that <Dr. Chappie con
templates a professional visit to Den-
ison, and that he was "President ot
the Georgia Medical Institute;"
both statements appearing in the
Denison News a day or two ago.
Tilt Doctor finds his position here
satisfactorily remunerative, and
does not contemplate moving • any-
where. As to the latter statement,
he was president of the "Georgia
State Dental Society, and not of the
Medical institute ot that Mite,—
Sherman Qonrier.
when the Gainesville correspondent
of the News, John W. Seiler, took
us under his protecting care, insist-
ing that during our stay in the city
we should be his guest; under the
circumstances, complience was a
matter of courtesy as well as pleas-
ure, and subsequent events proved
how fortunate we were. Mr. Seiler
is conducting the real estate business
of A. R. Collins & Co. The office
is situated on east California street,
one of the principal business thor-
oughfares of the city. A. R. Col-
lins & Co. are the agents of large
tracts of railroad lands adjacent te
the city ; they are also the agents of
the Rockwell property, a beautiful
addition in the northwest part of the
cit£. This valuable property will
eventually become the most desirable
in the city for suburban residences.
Mr. Seiler placed a horse and buggy
at the disposal of the News man
who drove to the Rockwell addition.
The view is beautiful indeed; the
land, situated as it is, on a high
rolling prairie, commanding a view
of the entire city and a vast extent
of country which spreads out before
the enchantcd vision like a pano
rama. Standing on the crest of a
grassy knoll, and looking eastward,
westward, northward and southward
for miles and miles, one immediate-
ly realizes what a rich, magnificent
farming country is tributary to
Gainesville. It has been said that
no city can attain to any great degree
of prosperity without manufactures;
this we do not believe ; Gainesville,
surrounded as she is 011 all sides
with a vast area of rich farming
country and a soil capable of pro-
ducing almost everything that grows,
is destined to become a great and
populous city.
Some prophesy that when the
railroad is built further west, that
the business prosperity of Gainesville
will-depart. We think such fears
are unfounded. It is not very likely
that a rival town of any importance
will spring up that will injure her
business prospects. Gainesville has
got the "boom," and it will %stay
with her.
Leaving the Rockwell addition,
we drove through the principal
streets of the city, and saw many
magnificent private residences. In
that respect neither Denison ©r
Sherman can compete with Gaines-
ville, and even in public buildings
she is not a whit behind her neigh-
bors. New and handsome dwel-
lings can be seen on every hand.
The ne\V hotel, which is just receiv-
ing the finishing touches, is a three-
story brick, one of the most elegant
structures in this section of the state.
A large number of brick business
houses have been erected during the
past six month , and many more are
contemplated. Samuel Star & Co.
have the largest and best appointed
dry goods establishment in the city.
The building is two stories high, one
hundred feet deep, with a frontage
of fifty feet. The interior of the
establishment is a marvel of taste.
Thousands of dollars worth of goods
are displayed to the best of advan-
tage. Max Grundstein and Lee
Kone are the gentlemen at the helm.
On hangman day the Star store was
literally jammed with customers,
and it required a small army ot
clerks to wait on them. Mr. Grund-
stein reports business good, with
better prospects ahead. It is antici-
pated that in the coming season,
Gainesville will enjoy an era of un-
paralleled prosperity. Much of tl.a
and says that he is doing more busi-
ness than the Denison branch.
Mr. George Buckey and Mr.
Ed. Coopland, both Denison
boys, are engaged in the restaurant
business, and when you visit Gaines-
ville and want a "square meal,"
don't forget to call 011 them.
Waterman & Meyers are engaged
in the wholesale and retail liquors
business. Their liquors have become
famous throughout all.thai section of
country, and they enjoy s monopoly.
They have a tastefully fitted up sam-
ple room.
Bachaman, the famous compound-
er of mixed drinks, is witn Tom
Grigsby, at the Parlor saloon.
Mr. Slutzky,% of this city, has
opened a branch jewelry house in
Gainesville, in Louie Goldsoffs dry
goods emporium. Like every one
we saw, he repor'.ed business good.
Mr. Slutzky is a liberal, whole-soul-
ed gentleman, and we wish him
well.
S. G. Eddy is engaged inthecom-
mission business, tn the building ad
joining A. R. Collins & Co.'s real-
estate office. He is doing a success-
ful business.
J. W. Hoffman, ("Snips,") does
all the insurance business in Gaines-
rilloi 1I« 1«<\q A. 9
Collins & Co. "Snipe" is popular
with the business men and careful
to see that they are insured.
Gainesville has two newspapers.
The Daily and Weekly Hesperian
and Weekly Register. The Daily
Hesperian has a large circulation,
and is a credit to the city. Colonel
Spears conducts the editorial depart-
ment, while Mr. Roberts looks after
the local. We are iudebted to both
gentlemen for many courtesies which
will be reciprocated, should they
ever visit Denison.
We saw Jack Martin in prison
and then on the gallows. It must
not be inferred from the above
that Mr. Martin is a criminal; he is
the editor oi one of the largest and
best weekly newspapers published
in the state. The Register is .cer-
tainly ft credit to our section ot the
state, and we hope that the people of
Cooke and adjoining counties will
give it a liberal support. The Reg-
ister 011 the day of the execution,
performed a feat of journalism well
worthy of the indomitable editor.
An extra was issued containing the
dying statement of Noftsinger.
Hardly had the trap fallen, before
the grounds were swarming with
boys shouting, "Here is the Register,
containing the dying statement of
Noftsinger." We understand that
Mr. Martin sold over one thousand
copies at ten cents a copy. It was a
master stroke on the part of the edit-
or of the Register.
The Hesperian issued in the even-
ing and sold an immense edition.
With such enterprising newspapers
as the Hesperian and the Register,
Gainesville is bound to go ahead.
People of Gainesville and Cooke
county, support your newspapers,
.they will do more to add to your
prosperity than any thing else.
I11 closing, we wish to express our
thonks to kin dfriends, and especial-
ly to John W. Seiler, who did
everything possible to make our visit
pleasant. On son.e future occasion
we expect to visit Gainesville again,
wfien we shall have more time to
fctay, and become better acquainted
with her citizens.
London Ghost,
This SensVtiorAand Theatrical
Combination, gives an entertainment
at Dunn's Hall to-night. The New
Orleans Times of Feb. 8th, notices
this exhibition and says it continues
to be the wonder of large audiences,
and should be seen by everybody.
As an exhibition it is of the most en-
tertaining ever biought to this city,
and by way of illustrating the vari-
ous effects, several interesting plays- -
are chosen for representation, such
as Dicken's "Haunted Man," Go-
ethe's"Storm of Thoughts," "Faust,"
and a musical farce entitled, *An
Hour among the Ghosts." with
which they introduce some startling
and marvelous effects. It is a first
[class exhibition, ai:d one we can ad-
vise all lovers of amusement to at-
tend.
We admit that we joinfed the heav-
ing mass of humanity as it surged
like a wave of the sea around the
scaffold, but we didn't rnn a step,
being hemmed in by the living wall
around us. Burson tried to run but
llie couldn't. He was so badly scar-
ed that his legs refused to perform
their office. His knees knocked vio.-
lently against each other. His face
grew pallid as death and his teeth
[chattered, and his eyes protruded.
His hair bristled over his forehead
and great drops of agony fell from
his brow, splaihing upon the boards
beneath. Eve.i if we had run we
should have been obeying the old
maxim which says;
■^•H^ha^j*wa^
May live to write another day.
Strawberry and Ico Cream Festi-
val.
Tho ladies of the Episcopal church
have a strawberry and ice cream fes-
tival this evening in the building on
Main street, recently occupied by
Swartz Bros. It is hardly necessary
to say that those who attend will
spend a delightful evening, for the
ladies of the Episcopal church are
proverbial for making people feel af
home at all their entertainment!
The ice cream will be delicious and
the strawberries ditto. In connec-
tion with the festival there will be
vocal and instrumental music.
/yWe see by an exchange that Judge
Bledsoe has recently rendered the
decision that marriages peformed in
the Indian Nation are not legal,
there being no law for such contracts,
and that children resulting from such
unions have no legal right to hold
property, or, in other words, are ille-
gitimate. If the Judge's opinion is
correct, there are some parties
around here that had better get mar-
ried over again.
The only place to get Stephanie
patent cigarettes, is at Congress
Hall. 3 r#
REOPENED!
Now, Neat and Nice.
Man cannot live by bread alone.
The good book says so, and it gen-
erally means business. Accepting
this command in its practical appli-
cation, Mr. Collett has re-opened his
meat market at the corner of Rusk
avenue and Woodard street, to fur-
nish his old friends and as many
new ones as may wish to call on
him, with the best meat to be found
in the county. He will handle-noth-
ing but the best and choicest meats.
Mr. Collett has been in the business
all his life, and what he don't know
about beef, mutton and pork, ain't
worth learning. His shop has just
been renovated and is as sweet as a
rose bathed in the morning dew.
Mr. Coliett always had the repu-
tation of selling the best meat in the
city, and he proposes to maintain
his well-earned popularity. 5 a iw
