no longer plough the same fields,
for Simon Brown is in the coun-

“laud where good niggers go.”

The great lumber yards have been
transferred to Fort Worth, and this
place is doing the lumber trade lor the
west.
—The Texas and Pacific has
been constructed and the law
complied witn, and yet the
Statesman will not be appeased.
Another tiling ‘wanted’ for ns
to-day, is good schools. We
have no buildings whatever for
such purposes. In this we are
sadly behind other town, which
like Weatherford, Mansfield etc.
having no prospects whatever
for railroads, yet have erected
fine and noble buildings for edu-
cational purposes. We can not
expect that good and accomp-
lished teachers will settle here,
that our children will learn, be
healthy and strong unless we
have fit and proper buildings
with all the. conveniences and
apparatus which this age de-
mands.
1 do uot know a finer chance
than here for a good boarding
school. We have a most healthy
location, vastly oupe.iior to Dal-
las or, which are the seat of nu-
merous places of learning. A
good boarding school here would
to-day be a great addition to
the prosperity of our town, to
say nothing about the refine-
ment and culture which it would
spread among all classes.
These are various other things
needed to-day, such as a library
and reading room, hospital for
the sick, refuge for the poor and
destitute, au orphanage for chil-
dren. Of these charitable works
more another time.
One thing certain, we are
striving to take our position in
the world as a great commercial
centre, but we shall only suc-
ceed when we have proper huiid-
- ings for the worship of God,
The wonderful progress of this with their doors never closed;

their course of action, and arc
urging them to adopt some
means or measures to save the
trade. The Herald has latterly
published several earnest arti-
cles, and in its issue of the 7th,
the Mail, the most zealous advo
cate of Dallas, and which pro-
fesses the most utter contempt
tempt for the city ot' Fort Worth
or its pretensions to trade of the
Northwest, published the follow-
ing:
“Mr. D. R. Long, one of the
principal merchants of Mon-
tague, arrived in the city last
evening. He says that very few
bales of cotton will be hauled to
Dallas this season from Denton
and the country farther west.
The roads to Dallas are so bad
that freighters will not haul cot-
ton or merchandise over them at
living rates. Thereby, Sherman
and Fort Wofth, hailing the ad-
vantage of good roads, will han-
dle the crop and do the business
this season that Dallas has here-
tofore done. He is obliged to
ship his merchandise from Sher-
man, because he caunot afford
to pay the freight charged from
Dallas.”
This is honest truth, solid
fact. In an article of the same
issue, the Mall says :
“Even now, as the Mail knows
by stubborn tacts, the trade of
the West and Northwest, for-
merly enjoyed by Dallas, is be-
ing diverted to Sherman and
Fort Worth.”
The Democrat rejoices to
witness this conversion, and in
dulges the hope that the people
of Dallas may realize and appre-
ciate these truths before it is too
late to save tnemselves from the
impending fate that awaits the
city of mighty expectations and
small realizations.
