YEARS AGO
By DULCE MURRAY
January 20, 1877
W. F. Dorley, a gentleman of
means from San Francisco, Cali-
fornia, has returned from a tour
of' the state and has decided 10
locate his carriage factory in Den-
ison. Mr. Dorley has selected the
ground on which to erect his
shops,, which is on the southwest
corner of Skiddy street and Bur-
nett ave. He asks no bonus, on-
ly the usual exemption from city
taxes and a free deed to the land.
,£,This will, of course, be given him.
•The Town Company have made a
liberal deduction from the price
of the lots and private citizens
will pay the balance, three hun-
dred dollars. Mr. Dorley is here
to commence the erection of the
.buildings at once and as an earn-
est that he means business he
will deposit in one of our banks
one thousand dollars to be held
until the buildings are completed.
He will put up three buildings.
The one on the corner will be fif-
ty feet square, two stories, with
a ono story rear addition of thir-
ty-five feet; another building,
fifty feet front by seventy-five
deep, one story adjoining the
main structure on the west, while
on the west lot will be still an-
other building, about the same
depth, with a frontage of twenty-
five feet. Mr. Dorley's lowest cs-
! timate for the total cost of build-
iiiigs, machinery and stock suffi-
cient to commence work, is $20,-
000.

X wood hauler's team, left
standing on Rusk avenue, near
the big bill stand, took a notion
to. walk up the avenue this morn-
ing and turning short off as they
started overturned the wagon, |
which was without a load, break-
ing up the load woodrack consid-
erably and splintering the "roach"|
of the wagon. The owner of tha
outfit was standing close by when
the mishap occurred, talking
horse trade to some friends. He
did some pretty eloquent swear-1
ing when he discovered the ruin
|his plugs had wrought, but finally
consoled himself with the reflec-
ton that the damage might have
been greater and drove the wagon
off to a blacksmith shop to be
fixed.
The local page of the New Era
was made up this morning wrong
side to, or in other words, bo ;
that you had to follow the eol-
umns from right to left instead of
vice versa. Hirsch, of the "Texas;
Barrel House" must have sent I
around some of his 5c whiskey.
A Winchester, in the hands of
Civil Engineer Dean, was acci-
dently discharged this morning in
Munson Bros, office, the shatter- j
ing of a window light being the
known extent of the damage
done.
B. F. (Flem) Coleman, was
sworn in yesterday by Mayor
Tone as councilman of the fourth
ward.
January 20, 1904
The last effort of the antis in
this county to prevent local op-
tion going into effect was to send
Judges Moseley and Bliss to
Washington in hopes of securing
a writ of error from the United
Slates Supreme Court. The mat-
ter was submitted to Justice White
and his decision was adverse. Jus-
tice White said that the record
undoubtedly raised Federal ques-
tions, but he didn't consider them
of sufficent merit to justify the
writ. The decision was not known
in DeniMn until was read in the
Dallas News this morning. This
was the last hope of the antis and
the saloon men commenced work-
ing off their stocks at cost. They
all did a rushing business and
when the finger on the dial points
to midnight, the time when the
law decreed Grayson county must
go dry, they will have gotten rid
of most of their goods. The sa-
loons have been crowded and ev-
erybody appears anxious to lay
in a supply of booze for emer-
gencies.
It makes one sad to see men
compelled to sacrifice their pro-
perty and quit business, whom we
have known intimately for years,
men who were pioneers in the up-
building of our city, and whose
enterprise and money have done
so much to make Denison what it
is. Doctor Yeliiel, the Eppsteins,
Gerald Hughes and others who
have been indentified with busi-
ness interests of Denison since
1873. These men will be missed,
and who can take their place?
