The Democrat.
Papers and Things.
“1 wish to get a copy of the Daily
Democrat of the loth, if you please.”
“Certainly, sir and we handed the
gentleman the copy desired. He started
toward the door, when we said, “Five
cents, if you please, sir.”
He was somewhat surprised; laid the
paper down on the counter ; then a bright
thought struck him, and lie said, “I take
the paper every day.” We told him to
go—it was all right.
Now, suppose we should go into a
clothing store, buy a coat, and, when
asked for the money, should say, “Oh,
we bought a suit of clothes of you last-
week—in fact, we buy a suit c es of
you every season.” Does any one sup-
pose that would be taken as pay enough
for the coat by the clothing man? Not
much.
Suppose we should go into a grocery
house, buy a dollars’ worth of sugar, and
should say, when asked for the money,
“Oh, we bought some' sugar here last
week—iii tact, we buy sugar of you every
week.” Does any one suppose that
would be taken by the knight of the scales
and scoop as compensation.for his sugar?
Not much.
And j’et the cases are parallel. The
goods of the merchant are his stock in
trade ; by the profit on their sale lie lives,
'l'he stock in trade of a newspaper, at
least, in part, is the copies it prints, and if
it gives these copies away it will as surely
come to bankruptcy as would the mer-
chant who bought and paid tor his goods
and then distributed them gratis among
the people. It is just as fair, and there is
just as much sense in asking a merchant
to give you what you want out ot his
stock as it is to ask the publisher to give
you a paper or to insert an advertisement
lor nothing. Rothschild couldn’t afford
to buy paper, pay printers for printing it,
and then give it away. Neither can we.
There is a mistaken notion in this mat-
ter abroad in the land, and men who
would scorn to ask a nickel cigar ol a to-
bacconist, will beg a newspaper, that
costs more money than the cigar, without
a qualm ot conscience or the slightest
tinge of a blush.
There 5s a card hanging in this office
which reads, “We sell the Democrat—do
not give it away and we trust all who
want copies of the paper hereafter will
read it before making their wants known.
NORTH TEXAS NOTES.
And now comes Sherman agitating an
artesian well for its public square.
Giaharn Leader : Encouraging reports
of the wheat crop are coming in. Har-
vest.will be early this year.
James AltolF, a carpenter, for years a
lesident of Sherman, suddenly disap-
peared about twro weeks since, and noth-
ing has been heard^of or from him.
Tom Ed. Bomar has sold his entire in-
terest in the McKinney Advocate, to Mr.
John W. Baines, but remains in charge of
the mechanical department of the paper.
Sherman Courier : A crazy man is talk-
ing of making Brussels carpet and all
manner of cotton goods, rubber belting,
etc., ten miles south of Bonham. Cotton
factories in the South are just what we
need, but this man is evidently insane, if
the News reports him correctly.
Waco Telephone: The necessary ar
rangements tor the fast through mail, be-
tween Waco and Comanche, are being
perfected as rapidly as practicable, and
we hope to see the first departure on the
first of May, proximo. The schedule
time between the two points is twenty
hours, which will bring Waco and Com-
manche much nearer to one and another,
figuratively speaking, than ever before.
Denison Herald : The yield of straw-
berries in this section will be unusually
large this season. Messrs. Bush & Tone
expect to ship 15,000 quarts. Others have
large areas in berries, and the total yield,
including shipments and the local supply
will aggregate no less than 100,000 quarts
—ft it rains soon. It the weather con-
tinues dry there will be a considerable
falling off from this estimate.
Gainesville Hesperian : The railroad
prospects of Gainesville will "soon be set-
tled. We will either have a road within
six months in our town or off to one side
near.enough to make Gainesville good
garden spots or cotton fields. The sub-
scription is not up yet. There has been
too much indifference exhibited by several
parties largely interested, that came near
bursting up the harmony of the work and
eausing ‘a forfeiture of several large
amounts that have already been sub-
scribed.
A qucslion of Right.
At the last meeting of the city council
the matter of electing a fire engineer was
brought before the council. Mr. G. W.
Hill’s term having expired, nominations
were in order, and Mr. Hill’s name was
presented and put in nomination. The
vote stood as follows:
For Hill. Against.
Morten, Jackson,
Hatcher, Terry,
Aston, Holmes.
As will be seen the result ol the vote
was a tie. Mayor Beckham contributed
his vote which settled Mr. Hill’s chances.
He gave some very good and acceptable
reasons for voting as he d:d, but neverthe-
less, from the following section of the
general laws oj 1875. by which this city is
governed, we question the right ot his
honor to vote in the premises. The sec-
tion reads :
Section 25. The mayor and aldermen
shall constitute the city council of the city.
The city council shall meet at such times
and places as they shall by resolution
direct. The mayor when present shall
preside and shall have in all cases, a east-
idg vote except in elections. * * *
Joy to the Afflicted.
One of our most eminent American
Chemists has discovered a process where-
by he obtains, in a palatable form, all the
active medicinal properties of the East
India Cinchonia bark, without disturbing
the irritant and inert matter. In this pre-
paration the alkaloids are in their native
combinations, and the same proportions-
of the ingredients are maintained as exist
in the celebrated bark from the Neilgherry
hills. This preparation is called Clif-
ford's Fkbrifugk, and is fast taking the
place of Quinine and the so-called Ague
Cures, etc., in the market. .1. C. Rich-

A genuine, refreshing- shower, fell on
Monday night last, and may prove ot in-
finite value to the suffering crops. Pros-
pects of more rain soon.
A red hot horse-liunter would certainly
make it profitable in this section now, for
since the rise of grass, every second man
you meet on the highway, is in search of
lost stock.
Captain Swain and Mr. Mark Cabot,
made a flying trip to Weatherford last
week, and from the tenor of their report
hurriedly made to your correspondent, 1
imagined they were surprised and delight-
ed. Mr. Cabot thinks the new court
house a perfect little gem, in that line of
architecture, .and they say business is
somewhat dull, now, is in a very fair way
to improve very soon.
Apropos, of the future terminus, Capt.
Hall’s camp is in the vicinity ot our Clear
Fork valley now, and from a recent visit
paid tiie works in the rear of Parson Ma-
derias’ farm, your correspondent is satis-
fied that they all mean business; and if
the road is not a success this time, there
is something terribly “rotten in Den-
mark” sure.
Visitors to Thorp’s Springs, are becom-
ing more numerous, now that the bright,
sunshiny rays of spring are upon us, and
from the number of fancy “rigs” daily
passing along our thoroughfare, I opine
hotel keepers there, are doing a good
business. Hope the sprightly little Brazos
Valley Guide, will get some ot the bene-
fits too.
Jack Sterritt’s arrest, caused considera-
ble talk in oua little hamlet, as Jack used
to “fling” the curry-comb and brush for
Johnson, when he had the contract on
this line, and boarding at Mrs. Leonard’s
became very well acquainted with tiie
citizens generally. No one says anything
positive of Jack’s good qualities while so-
journing in this section, nor do I hear
anything exactly detrimental to Jack’s
character. He claimed to be of excellent
family, I believe, satisfied Mr. Johnson in
his capacity of hostler, and was gendrally
considered “a pretty good drinking man.”
However all these things don’t make poor
Jack a road-agent, and if guiltless, we all
trust he will prove his innocence. If
guilty, let him suffer.
In this progressive age of railroad ex
tensions, and Internal improvements, why
doesn’t the “Queen of the Prairies” unite
with Granbury and build tiie much-talked
of narrow guage road? The capitalists
and business men of Fort Worth are not
niggardly lam sure, neither, have they
ever been accused of short-sightedness,
then what has “come over tiie spirit of
their dreams?” Why this apathy, this
indifference in tiie matter of securing tiie
vast amount ot trade from the great west ?
Come, gentlemen, shake off your lethargy,
unite with spunky little Granbury, and
complete a work that will surely bring in
money to your tills, and cause continual
improvements in the City of Heights.

Tbe Dorcas Society.
Quite a number of the ladies of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, met
Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr.
Groves, and organized a society under
tiie above name, The object of the so-
ciety is for the benefit of the poor and in-
digent of the city. These ladies deserve
the unbounded credit and praise not only
of their Individual church, but of the en-
tire community. We are reliably inform-
ed that it was through their zeal and un-
tiring energy, that the handsome church
building, vvnich this people can boast, is
now about finished. It lias been truth-
fully said that woman was the most
precious gilt God gave to man, and we
find it demonstrated almost everj’ day,
for they are the instrumentality and the
propelling power of almost every charita-
ble object. Success to 3rou ladies.
