Mayor Rowland'* Appeal to the Firemen.
The late action of the city coun-
cil in regard to working of the Fire
companies' horses having caused
considerable feeling of one sided,
ness to the firemen and as the
companies have made prompt pro-
test—with rosolutions of disband-
ment—Mayor Rowland appeals to
them to act discreetly and pours
oil on the troubled waters as fol-
low :
Firemen:—My attention has
been called, through the papers
of our city, of a protest of the Red
Jackets, Hose, and Hook and Lad-
der companies, to "a resolution
adopted by the city council at its
last meeting instructing the driver
to work the truck horses on the
streets. As mayor I feel it my
duty, in the spirit of conciliation,
to answer the protest and grieve-
ances of said company, believing
that the company does not desire
to act hastily by doing anything
that will materially damage our
city or retard its prosperity. We
have the "honor of having as good
if not the best fiie depart-
ment in the state. Our people
know that it is thoroughly organ-
ized and composed of the best ele-
ment of our citizens. Men who
are proud of their companies, self-
sacraficing, and at all times ready
to promptly respond to the fire
alarms. Considering all these
facts and knowing our fire compan-
ies are the pride of our people, I
urge the Red Jaekets not to be
hasty in their action, but for
the good of the city to defer any
further action until the next regu-
lar meeting of the City Council,
when T hope such action will be
taken as will fully satisfy the fire
department. To call a special
meeting of the council will cause
an expense to our city that I wish
to avoid, I will also state that on
account of the condition of one of
the horses the resolution cannot
and will not be enforced until next
month, and not then until the
council has fully considered the
grievances complained of. I con-
sider that the question now con-
fronting our fire department
should have calm and deliberate
attention. That nothing should
be done hastily, but with moder-
ation and in a spirit of justice and
right to both the city and firemen.
Therefore I urge the fire depart-
ment to defer their action in ref-
erence to the resolution of
the council, trusting that at
the next) meeting of the board
of Aldermen all differences may
be settled to the full satisfaction
of each department.

said to a News reporter this morn-
ing: "Juse as soon as we can
make the necessary arrangements
all the rubbish will be cleared the
extra ground-room in tho convict
vuarters on the poor farm, and
the men unable to pay their fines
and those doing time under sen-
tence will be taken out and put
to work. The condition of the
roads is so bad that we can not use
them for this purpose, but it has
been decided to employ them at
wood chopping until the ground
gets in condition to justify road
work."—Dallas News.
The county commissioners of
Cooke county, who will meet here
next Monday, for the purpose of
holding their quarterly term of
court, might take similar steps)
and rid our jail of several convicts
who are new 'laying out' various
fines, at a big expense to the
county. Why not put these petty
crime committers to work on the
county roads, and make them pay
for their board at least. Most
certainly the roads need the
labor.
Appoint Energetic Road Overseers.
Bad roads are an unmistakable
evidence of neglect on the part of
path masters. Long as our com-
missioners fail to act discreet in
the matter of appointing road
overseers, the roads will ever re-
main the same. Hereafter when
the appointment of overseers is
made, it would be well for the
commissioners to first inquire into
the efficiency, willingness^" and
public spirits of the parties to be
designated to perform the arduous
duties of road overseer, and put
only good energetic and public en-
terprising men in control of the
road districts.

The
Valentine Masquerade Ball at

The committee on invitation for
the masquerade ball to be given

of which went to other cities. It
is expected that parties will be in
attendance from Dallas, Sherman,
Fort Worth, Denison and several
other cities of North Texas. Ef-
forts are being pushed forward to
make this the largest and grand-
est occasion of the kind ever
given in Gainesville.

A Forger Arrested.
Oscar Lamar, a young man of
Collin county, who has been in
the employ of A. O. Elithorpe,
who runs a lime kiln on Red
river in this county, came to
the city Wednesday, where he
drank quite freely and seemingly
was enjoying himself highly. Hia
kopecks run short, and as a means
of replenishing them, forged an
order on Mr. Elithorpe for $8,
which he sold Thursday morning
to Fred Johnson of this city.
Sheriff Ware war soon informed
of the crooked transaction, when
he proceeded to hunt the perpetra-
tor, whom he found, on Com-
merce street, and arrested. The
youthful scamp acknowledged the
deed, and now languishes in the
county jail.

There are sow twenty-one prison-

Work on the building to be occupied
by Neumegen, Zacharias k Co., is

Business and everything else is
rather dull to-day occasioned, no
doubt, by the norther.
Railroad talfcon the streets is big
bat feels in that regard are scarce, the
knowing ones and the officials keep-
ing it rather a secret. ' * '
California street is being nicely
graded and the work should be ex-
tended to the southwest corner of the
square, where it neads filling up
baoHy.
The blizzard struck us again full
in the face about 8 o'clock this morn-
ing. Up to this tiaie no more spring-
like weather could be asked and the
change was rery sudden.
A new confectionery store will be
opened up about next Monuay on the
west side of the square, adjoining H.
D. DeBerry's stand, under the firm
name of Motley & Keeling.
The stock of confectionery of Joe

It is not probable that the city coun-
cil will take any action in regard to
the protest made by the members of
the Hook and Ladder company last
nigbt. In conversation with Mayor
Rowland to-day be atated that be had
assured the members that oe horses
would not be used until they~lad
further considered the matter at the
next regular meeting and that it was
hardly necessary to call an extra ses-
sion . The members are not all de-
cided yet what action to take, and it
is likely nothing will be done until the
nsxt meeting of the city council.
Both hose companies have decided,
however, to Join the Red Jacketain

The Gainesville Riffles had a meet-
ing last night at the office ot their
commander, Capt. Moran Scott, and
resolved to particidate In the Inter-
state drill at Austin in May next. In
order to do this it will be necessary
for them to have new nmtonna, and
steps were taken to proeure them. A
subscription was started among the
member* present and something over
a hundred dollars was subscribed at
oneie. It Is expected that the patri-
otic citizens of Gainesville who US, or
ought to be, proud of onr ttS&UrT
opmpany, will aid in uniforming the
soldiers so that they ma? de1 credit to
