Weather Report.
Gulf States—Local rains and cooler,

PUBLIC SPEAKING
At the Court House, Monday Evening.
We take pleasure in announcing that
Co). ,J. F. Smith, candidate for mayor,
will address the people of the city to-
morrow evening in iroat of the court
house, and, in the event of inclement
weather, the speaking will take place in
the court house.
We are ot the opinion that Col. Smith’s
position on many of the questions of pub-
lic interest are not fully understood, and
we hope the voters of the city will turn
out to a man, Monday evening, and hear
him define his position, which we unhesi-
tatingly affirm will meet with a hearty
approval.

Dr. Hutchison, a druggist, of Arling-
ton, was in the city yesterday.

terday morning from El Paso after an ab-
sence of eight months. He says he scarce-
ly knew the town, the improvement has
been so rapid and extensive.
We had the pleasure yesterday of being
introduced to Maj. Wm. Steadman, senior
partner of the law firm of Steadman, Sen

ODDS AND ENDS.
The civil term of the county court com-
mences to-morrow.
A considerable amount of corn was
planted by the farmers of this county dur-
ing the past week.
The public square was crowded yester-
day, with wagons loaded with stove wood
and other country produce.
A great quantity of blankets, dishes, old
furniture, etc,, was sold at auction in the
court house yard yesterday.
Mrs. J. J. Miller was found guilty ot
lunacy by a jury impanelled by the coun-
ty court yesterday. She will be sent to
the asylum at Austin.
The new colored Baptist church is quite
a handsome building, and is a credit to
those who built if. " It cost the colored
brethren $3,553.04, exact figures, all of
which has been paid except $175 which
those in charge of the matter hope to raise
to-day.
A Bridge on Eire.
The railroad bridge across Sycamore
creek, about two and a half miles east of
the city, was found to be on fire early yes-
terday morning. It is supposed to have
caught from a passing engine. Only two
or three cross ties were consumed, when
the fire was discovered and extinguished.
The time required to repair it, however,
delayed the east bound passenger about
two hours.
Splendid Work.
The attention of a reporter was called
to a substantial set of harness, on one ot
the teams of the Texas Express Company
yesterday, and was informed that it was
from B. F. Tackabery’s harness house.
It was a splendid piece of work—as fine
and durable as could be made anywhere.

the erection of a two story brick, twenty-

Wildcat Advertising.
A representative of the Democrat-Ad-
vance was in the office of one of the lead-
ing business houses of the city yesterday
and heard an oily-tongued individual des-
canting upon the advantages of an adver-
tising scheme with which he was favoring
the people of our city. It consisted of a
large card on which was to be printed the
advertisements “ot none but first-class
houses.” One of these was to be put in
each of sixty-seven postoffices in the
country roundabout, and one in each of
forty ro >ms in the El Paso hotel. The
!-olicitor boasted of having received more
patronage than all the press ot the city
combined. This class of advertising is
the best known. We feel authorized in
saying so, because we have the informa-
tion direct from men who have been en-
gaged in getting them up. Quite a num-
ber of them have been printed in our job
department from time to time. A lot
were printed for a transient solicitor a
short time ago, to be put up in the El
Paso hotel. The man got his money, but
failed to put up the cards ; but that didn’t
matter. There is no advertising superior
to this for the trade. Men go for miles to
the postoffices ju-I to read them. They
have been known to stand for hours gaz-
ing in enrapt admiration upon one of these
cards, and admiring the inventive genius
ot the man that invented them. Were it
not for them, men would rarely go to the
postoffice, and tlieir mail would accumu-
late there in such quantities that it would
become a burden to the postmasters.
They are a good thing Lor the tran-
sient trade—the class of cus-
tomers who stop at hotels. The guests
will stand shivering in their night clothes
for hours perusing them. They read
them before they go t» bed. and again be-
fore they come down to breakfast, and
they hurriedly swallow their matutinal
mash anti rush off to the houses whose
names they find on the card, for fear the
wares advertised will be all gone before
they get there. Then the matter should
he viewed in another aspect. The men
who get up these cards are strangers and
non-residents, and take the money out ot
town to spend it, thus keeping it in cir-
culation. The local publishers uever get
out ot town, and consequently their
money don’t circulate. These solicitors,
too, spend money all their time, when
they are not talking up their cards in say-
ing good things for the town—and they
are "strictly impartial, they “blow” all
towns alike* which the local press does
not do ; their selfishness is so extreme
that they only blow for their own town.
These “card” men are always so clever
and accommodating. They insert, every
man’s “ad” at half-price, because they
don’t want the card to go out without the
name of that particular firm upon it.
They are periectly fair in this, too, treat-
ing every house alike. If any of our mer-
chants have failed to secure a card or a
line on the mar gin, they should hunt the
solicitor up befoie the chances are all
taken. Delays are dangerous.
A Trip to Denton.
As announced in Friday’s issue, quite a
number of gentlemen ot the city went to
Denton on Friday last, tor the purpose of
instituting a lodge of the order ot Knights
of Pythias. A representative of the
Democrat-Ad vance accompanied the
party lor the double purpose of giving
tone and dignity to the delegation and to
report such of their proceedings as it was
meet and proper to put in print. To show
the unostentatious simplicity ot the party,
they traveled on a freght train, which
made the tirp to Denton in four or five
hours without accident or adventure. The
train stopped in the suburbs ot the town,
to allow the party a little exercise by
walking up town, instead of riding in
carriages, as they would haye been com-
pelled to do, had the train gone on to the
depot. The delegation made its appear-
ance in Denton, and a charge en masse on
the dinner table of the hotel, at which
they stopped about one o’clock. The
afternoon was spent in looking at the
town, meeting and shaking hands with
old friends, and forming new acquain-
tances—all of which was pleasant and en-
tertaining.
Denton has grown amazingly since the
scribe was last there in the an^-railroad
days, Solid, substantial two story brick
business houses have supplanted the frame
structures, and the small cottage dwelling
houses have given way to imposing resi-
dences. The whole place has an air of
solidity and thrift that is gratifying to its
people and to its visitors. We don’t pro-
pose to tell all we heard while we were in
Denton, beeause we might want to go
there again sometime, and it would not
be prudent to divulge with too much
spontaniety. It was St. Patrick’s
day in Denton and the Dentonltes
did not permit it to pass unnoticed.
There was no unusual demonstration,
that we noticed. We saw seventeen ot the
leading citizens, headed by Judge Carroll,
and closely followed by “Geers” of the
Monitor, Mr. Finer and others “wearing
ot the green”—which consisted only of a
sprig of cedar in the button hold of their
coat. We were told that there was an
entertainment of some kind at the skat-
ing rink, and a party of gay maskers
over Craddock’s—but we did not partici-
pate. Denton has a great many good
men, and seme very mean ones. We
heard a good deal ot the personal history
ot some of them, which we shall not
print now, but will hold in reserve in case
any of them ever run for office. It they
should we have campaign material enough
on hand to make it warm tor them. We
were treated handsomely, and quite fre-
quently during our stay, and shall en-
deavor to renew the visit soon.
P. S.—We forgot to mention about the
lodge. It was organized, and from the
appearance ot the crowd that fiied down
the stair case from the hall after daylight,
we should say it was very well organized.
There were twenty-two charter members,
and it was christened “Prairie Lodge No.
32.” We would print the names, and
those ol the officers as well, but we ma le
no notes, and would be sure to get the
wrong man in the right place. The
party returned to Fort Worth about eleven
o’clock yesterday, and with the exception
of the Democrat-Advance man not one
of them have been seen since their arrival.
We hope Prairie Lodge will be prosper-
ous, and that its gallant kuights will honor
our chivalric boys with a visit at an early
diW. ™
Valuable Suggestion to Mothers.
Dear Mr. Editor:—Long experience in
care of children, and great success in
bringing them safely through sickness,
gives confidence to assure that croup,
whooping-cough, bronchitis, diptheria,
and all throat and chest affections will be
speedily relieved and cured by using Dr.
Acker’s English Remedy, which is ex-
ceedingly palatable, and may be safely
given to the youngest infant. Adults will
find it the best and most potent Known
specific for consumption, asthma, etc., and
a single trial will prove this true.

Cleburne News.
When all other subjects fail, and all
questions ot interest have ceased to inter-
est, Gov. Roberts always offers fresh
themes. Last night in front of the Cle-
burne House, about a dozen “commercial
travelers” were congregated, and it is an '
established fact, that outside the Texas
Siftings these gentlemen a e the best
abusers ot our governor. It is neverthe-
less true that “Texians” will give the
governor fits, but they wont let anybody
else do it, consequently, last night, com-
mercial men had to take back seats, par-
ticularly the Chicago man. To-day he
was out for Roberts, aud says he had no
idea that the historian governor was so
popular in Texas. He says his
little boy shall read the Governor’s
history as soon as he can spell.
R. B. Godley purchased to-day the
lumber yard and interest of Mr. Sell, of
this city. This makes a heavy Consoli-
dation in the lumber business. Mr. Sell,
will be found, in the future, with Mr.
Godley, where he will receive his old
friends and patrons in the future as in the
past.
The young man who was a guest at the
Cleburne House last night, and who the
civtk found on his hands and knees look-
ing under the bed, and who travels with
patent window lasteners, acknowledged
that he h id just finished reading “Billy,
Kid, ’ and that his kb-as of Texas had
been gathered from the lives ot Texas
desperadoes and the Globe-Democrat.”
He left this morning for a trip west as far
as Tebo. When he comes back he won’t
fasten windows nor look under beds ; nor
will he call for Apollinaris cock tails.
Straight whisky and black coffee will be
more to his taste^
The five new buildings on Henderson
street are being pushed to completion,
and I learn to day that they have all been
rented and will be at once occupied.
Ross was in town to-day looking over the
stocks of our grocery men and filling
them up. It is reported that while Ross
keeps J. H. Brown busy filling his orders
he looks as much to a pair of bright eyes
in Cleburne as he does to his business.
May he succeed, is the heartfelt wish of
his friends.
Capt. T. B. Archer proposes to take in
some of Texas this summei during the
dull season. He has almost gotten his
consent to take a round with Simms, the
linen-piece-goods man, of New York.
The Captain’s friends will hardly give
him up, if they do, linen-piece-goods will
be in demand, and will go up.
The most delighted man in Cleburne
to-day was Will Levi. He saw last night
tor the first time, the white gopher, now
on exhibition at the Pearl. In the interim
ot business he takes pleasure in describ-
ing it to his friends
The subject of the state convention is
being discussed, and to-day every copy of
the D.-A. went off before ten o’clock. It
is now our morning paper.
“The China Badger,” a ballad by the
coming poet of Cleburne, was being dis-
tributed this evening. For melody and
pathos it veils the memory ot Burns, By-
ron, and the older ones in oblivion. It
runs:
There is a great animal at the Pearl saloon,
Some call it a badger, some call it.a coon;
Now this animal looks so very queer,
When you look at him you will walk off
on you ear.
The rest is in the same strain.
W. C. X. u.
After the many kind words which have
been both spoken and written of us for
the past few days, we scarcely know how
to express our thanks to our many friends
for all their kindness.
We, firstly, return many and sincere
thanks to the many friends who graced
our reading room and supper hall on
Thursday evening. Our hearts were
cheered and made glad by their presence
and encouraging words. And, indeed, we
have much to be thankful for. Every one
seems to think our work a good oue—our
cause a ooble one We certainly think
so. and hope ere long to prove it so. Our
chief aim and object is to build up a per-
manent library for the citizens of our
enterprising city We truly need some
such innocent place of resort, and our old
and young can spend many pleasant and
profitable hours within the retreat we are
preparing for them.
Secondly, we ihank all those who so
kindly aided us in entertaining our friends
on Thursday evening. We tender a hearty
yote of thanks to one and all, and shall
never forget them—no, never!
And, thirdly, we wish to inform our
friends that the funds now on hand will
be devoted to furnishing library, as far as
possible.
Our friends are subscribing to our cause
every day, and once again we are forced
to repeat the old,—but in our case heart-
felt expression—“we thank you.”
We give below a list of the subscrip-
tions received since last Sabbath, and also
a list of our friends, who have made do-
nations ot books, etc., to the reading-
room.
We regret that on last Sabbath the name
of one of our prominent merchants was

The Duty of the Hour.
Editor Democrat-advance .
A grave and serious question shout!
engage the thoughtful consideration of
this portion ot the great star state, one
that should^involve the attention of eyery
individual directly interested or in any-
wise connected with the thrift, prosperity
and ultimate growth of our tair land. It
is the reapportionment, since the last cen-
sus, made by congress, thereby giving us
a larger representation in the councils of
the United States, the redistricting of the
state—the work of the next legislature—
aud the wise and judicious selection of
qualified personages for the fullfillment of
such eminent places ot tr"st. Therefore,
I deem it expedient as an humble follower
of the Democratic creed, to offer a few
suggestions relative to the situation. It
seems to be the cherished hope of a ma-
jority of our representative citizens tnat
Tarrant county be seperated from Dallas
and apportioned with the conjective coun-
ties southwest or north ol her. And owing
to its geographical survey and theantago-
nistical interest that in fivure nny spring
up between the two mommouth cities of
North Texas—Fort Worth and Dallas—do
I base the beliet of it being done. Dallas,
the now metropolis ot North Texas, and
Fort Worth the sine qua non of the great
promulgative railroad system, will never
work in harmonious action in any politi-
cal or commercial enterprise or hover
quietlyjand contentedly under the wing of
the same congressional district, and it be-
hoves these legislators, who cling with
fidelity to the Democratic faith and wishes
to forshadow any coming harm, who
can catc’i a flimipse of the differences
that may occur, will, in prudence, work
to that end, and place Dallas and Fort
Worth in separate districts. And now
that we are almost on the verge of another
state election, and the eyes of the popu-
lace are turning in many directions for the
fitest and most faithful servants to do
their trusty business, and to raise to
those lofty places of honor such men as
will best subserve their interest, I deem a
a few words just here appropo.
In casting about for individuals to take
the leadership in our grent and growing
party to stand out upon the watchtower
as virtuous sentinels to guard the liberty
of our nation, let us do away with politi-
cal demagogues and patent office seekers ;
those chronic clamorers for political pro-
motion whoever ready to fling themselves
as sacrificial offerings into the political
Gauges, and deem themselves necessary
to every political undertaking. Let us
dispense with such fossils, fogies and pub-
lic failures who have proven detrimental
and disastrous to the party, and hunt out
some modern Cineiunatus, who is seeking
no emoluments, but gifted to obtain it;
whose interest is identical with ours, and
whose every pulsation is but an anxious
trobbing for the welfare of his country ;
who is decided yet conservative in his
views, and revels in the consciousness of
doing right; a man with wide and exten-
sive capabilities to grapple, with cool
judgment and proper understanding, those
vital and important issues that may en-
gage his attention; one who looks to the
triumph ot gre t issues independent of
the means; who will look upon party
organizations as engines of corruption,
and the word party as synonymous with
civil discord and revolution; for no good
Democrat is given over to partisan exclu-
siveness and that mean bigotry ol opinion
In political matters that rules the councils
of at least one party organization on
American soil as to be ambitious for party
success at the expense of the national
weal. Give us a man as the recipient of
public favor who will bury all differences,
forget disseutions, and the causes ot dis-
sentions, and, as a true American citizen,
irrespective of nil party obligations,
march firmly forward at every r'sk,
and sacrifice against the common enemy
abating no jot nor title of his duty as a
patriot, yet, in behalf of his country, will
work for an amended tariff, a currency
free from those embarressments which in-
variablyattend p iper inflation, speedy and
continued reform of the civil service, ade-
quate frontier protection, payment of ;he
war debt at the expense of rigid retrench-
ment in all the departments of govern-
ment administration, a recommission and
reconstruction of the naval and war port-
folios ; open ports to France, Germany,
Great Britain and the other European
countries, and finally,by easy but definite,
stages the total expurgation ot Grantism
from the administrative, judicial and leg-
islative councils of the nation. We want
a man with honesty, ability and some po-
litical research, whose record proves him
true to his country and his friends, then
our interest will be in safe keeping our
rights recognized, and we a proud and
prosperous constituency.
