CLEBURNE NOTES.
Cleburne, Texas, Nov. 28,1879
Wednesday evening our sheriff arrested
Thomas H. Martin and Melton, for hav-
ing on their persons concealed weapons.
They claimed to be U. S. officers and
were after one Rogers, charged with rob-
bing the mail. The writ however expired
last August, and the parties arrested,
were beyond the limits of that district,
therefore, they were bound over to the
county court which meets next Monday.
The bond was fixed at $100 each, which
they gave by turning over to the bonds-
men their horses, saddles and three splen-
did revolvers. Last night they put up at
the Burney house, but this morning they
were missing and their beds not slept on.
The last seen ot them was between here
and Fort Worth. It is generally believed
that both the warrants and commission
as deputy marshal, are bogus and that
they are noted characters. The warrant
wras signed and filled out in a yery poor
hand write, which is nothing singular for
a clerk of the U. S. court, but the commis-
sion was signed “Stilwell H. Russel, U.
S. Marshal,” in a good business hand.
The D. & C. depot question was settled
last Monday night.
Among the visitors to our city, regis-
tered at the La Clede Hotel, are the fol-
lowing persons: B. II. Williams, Hills-
boro; Hon. T. H. McCulloch, Ya.; J. H.
Mathews. Fort Worth ; G. W. Allen, J.
Briggs and lady, Col. Geo. Mellerch and
J. C, Middleton, Dallas; W. Davis, Gal-
veston; S. H. Armstrong, Columbia,
Tenn.; J. P. Covington, Covington, Tex.;
and A. J. Stevens, Meridian.
Railroad prospects and the many ad-
vantages of our county are bringing many
strangers to our city, among them is Sena-
tor T. J. McCulloch who thinks of mak-
ing this his future home.

NORTH TEXAS NOTES.
Paris is to have a cotton compress.
Pecans are now the staple in Brown-
wood.
The Gainesville Hesperian-Gazette will
hereafter publish a daily edition.
Coleman county farmers go all the way
to Stephenville to have their wheat
ground.
Jefferson is doing a better business this
season than it has done any season during
the last seven years.
The long and continued drouth did but
yery little damage to young orchards in
Comanche county, and the Chief thinks
that in a few years fruit will be plentiful.
Jefferson has already received, this sea-
son, between eighteen and twenty thou-
sand bales of cotton by the East Line,
and over thirty thousand bales, in all, are
confidently anticipated before the season
closes.
The Corsicana Index says the Crisp-
Hogg difficulty was not the beginning of
the difficulty in the Bryan faculty. Gath-
right, late president of the institution, was
recommended for that position by Jeffer-
son Davis.
Stephenville Empire : There is a great
and growing demand for homes in this
section and especially in Erath county.
The near approach of the railroad, and
the fact of its passing through the center
of the county, may in some manner ac-
count for it.
r‘ To Be or Not to Be.”
It is a question of importance to all
afflicted creatures, whether they will be
cured of disease by remedies which leave
a long train of bad after-effects, or by
a medicine that strikes at the cause of the
malady and eradicates it, without doing
any more harm than that much of water?
Clifford’s Ferbifuge, for the cure of all
diseases caused by malaria, is a palpable,
powerful Antiperiodie and Tonic, and yet
never produces headache, noise in the
ears, deafness, or any of the evils conse-
quent on the use of Quinine, Arsenic, ete.

If the readers of the Democrat want to
know what genuine exhilarating exercise
is, let them follow the example of the writer
and get out of bed at five o’clock and take
a seat by the driver of one of Chidester’s
Fort Worth and Fort Yuma stage coaches,
and ride over the prairies westward. The
views are unsurpassed, and the cool, brac-
ing air gives one an appetite for the
“snack” he finds waiting for him at Bear
Creek.
Jim Davis, who handled the “ribbons”
the day 1 came out, has traveled a great
deal, and knows many an interesting yarn
of coach days in the west to enliven the
way.
The teams are in fine condition, and
seven miles are left behind with each hour
with apparent ease to the equineisid com
fort of the biped. If the trip is in con-
templation don’t procrastinate for the
STAGING DAYS
of Fort Worth are well nigh spent. With
the extension of the railroad, the four
horse stage coach will pass into history
so far as Fort Worth is concerned.
The coach rolled up to the
MILLIKEN HOUSE
at Thorp Springs in time for dinner, and
it is needless to add that the writer was
ready, as was also the dinner. Mks. Mil-
liken always has the best meal to be found
in the west, and having once partaken of
the hospitality of this house, the traveler
is never known to miss an apportunity of
renewing the acquaintance of ihe gallant
and genial captain, who greets the arrival
of his friends with a hospitable welcome.
From Thorp’s place to this point the
time is not so rapid, as the heavy sand
beds impede progress materially, but we
made schedule tlme,_ and landed at the
Texas Hotel at 10 o’clock,
Mine host, Uncle John McGonegal,
welcomed us warmly, and a cheei ful fire
glowing on the hearth in the reception
room, was too strong a temptation, and
by the time the coach rolled up to the
door, my mind was made up to remain all
night, and I bid the driver good speed and
liad over till to-night, when I will renew
my journey westward.
STEPHENVILLE
is already well know to the readeis of the
Democrat as a solid, substantial and
thriving place. It has forwarded hundreds
of bales of cotton to Fort Worth this
year, and Baldwin’s gin is yet turning
out twelve and fifteen bales a day. I
found the Scott boys at the
EMPIRE OFFICE
hard at work. They are doing well, and
building up a good paper, a credit alike to
the town and to their energy. They are
prime favorites here.
Mercantile business is good.
GEORGE & 'WHITESIDES,
dealers in groceries and drugs, do a fine
business, and ship lots of cotton to Mr.
Bondies, the active" cotton factor of Fort
Worth.
J. A. FREY
deals in general merchandise,and everthing
looks busy around his store. He is among
the leading men here.
The town is well supplied with M. Ds.,
and they rank high. I mot Dr. Buck, the
president of the North Texas Medical As-
sociation, and also, Drs. Crow, Harris and
Mays, all good men and true.
There is always life and bustle about the
house of
J. II. CAGE,
who deals in groceries, drugs and dry
goods. The grocery department is pre-
sided over by J. E. Finch, who enjoys the
confidence of the public and his employ-
ers to an unusual degree.
Of other merchants we may notice, E.
P. Davis,, dry goods and groceries ; R. N.
Chanceller, groceries; W. L. George,
drugs and groceries ; T. R. Jordan & Co.,
geseral merchandise; M. L. Keith, book-
store ; White & Holcomb, furniture deal-
ers; Hugh Corrigan,harness and saddles;
Donovan & Frank, W. B. Davis, W. II.
Gentry, J. A. Shelton & Son and Mr. Man-
nahan, all doing a fine business, as is, in
fact, every one in the city.
QUINN & BASSEL
have a fine flouring mill which supplies
the local demand tor good flour, which
they invariably make. Among the ele-
ments which are in demand here, is that
of
WATER
conspicuous only on account ot its ab-
sence. The “oldest inhabitant,” a man
by the name of King, who is ‘ rheumatic
and infirm,” has been consulted, and he
says it was never known to rain in Ste-
phenville. But King cannot always be
relied upon. Another gentleman entitled
to credit (a newspaper man) says it
should have rained here last July. Wells
have been sunk in the bed ot the Brazos,
which furnish good and pure water. The
scarcity of water is compensated for, and
the Chrysopolis, (get your dictionary)
saloon is increasing the revenue, by fre-
quent evolutions of the bell punch. This
saloon which has the dictionary name is
aided by the Euruka. They “have classic
names for their saloons, as the reader
will discover. Theie is a young doctor
here, a very interesting young man, who
wants to marry, but his admiration for
the fair sex forbids him from proposing.
He thinks too much of the girls to ask
any of them to marry a doctor. His con-
sideration for them is equalled by his
many other good qualities. The oft-
repeated advice to your correspondents to
be brief, and the numerous letters that
have been consigned to the waste basket
on account of their length admonishes
me to close. I would 1 ke to write two
or three columns about Stephenville 'and
its people, but I must forbear, and leave
it to the local correspondent here, who
will give the Democrat the news from
this point in future. But hold ! I haven’t
said a word about the
RAILROAD PROSPECTS
of the place. The Empire would never
forgive me if I should fail in this, and I
would rather incur the displeasure of the
Democrat than offend your sprightly
contemporary, the Empire. A few -.days
ago t he engineers of the Waco extension,
tailing to get a satisfactory line through
the southern portion of the county, went
back to Morgan City and have started a
line through Skipper’s Gap, which points
in this direction, and is said to be a more
feasible route. % With all my heart I hope
they will not give Stephenville the “go-
by.” It deserves better fortune than
this. The energy and enterprise display-
ed in building up this beautiful town
should not be discouraged in this way.
THANKS.
I desire to express my thanks to S. G.
Berry, the youthful but efficient post-
master, VY. A. George, and others for ap-
preciated favors received, and will close
with my benediction on them all.

Western Merchants, Bead This !
For Facts Will Tell.
It takes sixteen ounces of candy to make
one pound. At my house no candies put
up in boxes labeled 25 or 30 pounds, with
heavy thick paper on every package, and
from 1J to 2 pounds short weight, but all
boxes labeled 30 pounds, I will warrant to
be 30 pounds or 480 ounces net candy. I
have the largest stock and the best selec-
tion of fancy and plain candies in the city,
also Christmas candies, Christmas toys,
sweetmeats, Green & Clark’s Missouri
cider, all of which I am selling to the wes-
tern trade at rock bottom prices. All
western merchants and others will do well
by calling on me and compare facts before
purchasing elsewhere. Geo. H. Want,
