COL. R. D. ALLISON,
Of McKinney.
GEORGE R REEVES.
An Example of How he Represent-
ed Denison in the Legislature.
“ While at Austin, I learned that
a bill had passed the Senate, and
was presented in the House, to in-
corporate the Caddo, Paris & Jef-
ferson branch of the M., K. <C- T.
railroad. COL. REE VES DE-
TECTED that its line was not
defined, and IT MIGHT RUN
TO DENISON or elsewhere. BI
HIS ATTENTION, with the
friends of the T. & P. railway
company, thiswas COMPELLED
to designate its crossing on Red
River, in Lamar county.”
Extract from a letter from Thos. J. Brown to J.
M. Martin, editor of the Sherman Register, dated
May 4, 1874.
Texas Scholarship in the Normal
College at Nashville—A Rare
Chance,
The great want of the South to-
day is thorough-trained professional
teachers, male and female. To sup-
ply this want the Peabody Trustees
have established in connection with
the State of Tennessee a great Nor-
mal College at Nashville. Dr.
Sears, agent of the Peabody Fund,
offers six scholarships, worth annu-
ally $300 each, and tuition to Texas
students. The conditions are that
they must, after graduating, teach
two years in Texas ; must have good
moral characters and an aptness to
teach, and must pass a satisfactory
examination in all elementary
branches before Prof. O. N. Hol-
lingsworth, at Austin, or before me
at Waco, or someone we may ap-
point.
We have already the requisite num-
ber of applicants, but all from Cen-
tral and Eastern Texas.
The College opens the first Mon-
day in October next.

vDr. Salisbury is making positive

more have agreed to furnish ice
sufficient to preserve the goods until
disposed of. This is a new enter-
prise for this State, and one which
will prove a great convenience to
the public, and we hope profitable to
those engaged in it.

omebody caused considerable un-
easiness in the city Friday morning,
by circulating the report that there
was a case of yellow fever at Ter
rell, based on the contents of a pos-
tal card from a methodist clergyman
in Terrell. *
The following taken from tile
Dallas Herald of Friday morning,
shows that the report had no founda
tion in fact :
Tames T. D. Wilson, mayor of
Houston, telegraphed our mayor as
follows; “Is the report true that
there is yellow fever in Terrell.”
Mayor Irving answered that there
was none, nor had there ever been
any here.

Net a solitary case was tried in
the mayor’s court Friday, but abun-
ant work provided for this morning.
The marshal has sworn out com-
plaints against ten of our most prom-
inent business men, charging them
with violating section 2 of a certain
ordinance, which prohibits the sweep,
ing of trash, litter, etc., into the
streets. The cases will be tried this
morning.)The trial of Mr. J. H.
Slater, Idfe president of the Drovers
and Planters bank, was commenced
Friday morning at 9 a. m. The ex-
amination of witnesses having been
concluded the day previous, the de-
fence was opened with an able
speech by G. G. Randall, esq. He
was followed by Mr. Fletcher, of
the law firm of Robertson & Fletch-
er, of this city, for the state, who
acquitted himself well. Then Capt.
Mills for the defence, and the argu-
ments were concluded by Major
Woods for the state. Judge Kirk
bound defendant over for his appear-
ance before the district court in the
sum of $1,000.

^fhere is a pig pen on Skiddy
street, south of the school house, that
is so offensive that those residing in
the neighborhood are compelled to
keep the doors shut on that side of
the house to keep out the stench.
The stink is pronounced simply
horrible. Offal from the butcher
shop is fed to the hogs, and we
suppose in time the same hogs will
be served up as meat for our citizens.
We suggest that as our marshal has
a horse he take a ride around town
occasionaly, and see if he can’t smell
out a few nuisances of this kind.

A Right Lively Corpse—Slight Dif-

Duel That Never Oooured—All’s
Well that Ends Well, and this
Story Does.
Some weeks ago the Democrat
contained an account of the death of
John J. Gallivan, under a railroad
platform somewhere in Texas. The
report was founded on a letter re-
ceived by a lady in this city whose
husband was in Texas, and whd
knew Gallivan well. The Demo-
crat’s article was followed in a week
or two by one in the Denison Her-
ald, giving full particulars in relation
to Gallivan’s tragic end stating that
he was killed in a duel with a lover
of a gill whom Gallivan had the rep
utation of having seduced, and by
whom he had a child. As Gallivan
was well know in this city, together
with the facts concerning his liason
with the git 1, the Democrat publish-
ed the article from the Herald togeth-
er with remarks of its own.
It now transpires that the man who
was found dead tinder a platform in
Texas was named J. H. Gallivan,
and the story about the duel so graph-
ically described by the Herald, was
made out of whole cloth, while J. J.
Gallivan, telegraph operator, late
of Sedalia, was living in peace and
happiness with the woman whom
all the trouble was about, in the city
ot Chicago. Gallivan has friends in
this city who knew of his where-
abouts, and who sent him copies of
the Democrat containing the articles
relating to him, but took good
care to withhold any information
they had until after the last article
referred to had been published.
The Democrat makes pretensions
to being a newspaper, and makes
every effort possible to give the cur-
rent news of the day. Any paper
which does this is liable to be im-
posed upon now and then even
though its reporters exercise due dil-
igence to get bottom facts, as was
the case in this instance. As will be
seen there was some foundation for
the report, that Gallivan was found
dead as at first stated by the Demo-
crat, for a man almost exactly of the
same name was found as described.
As for the moonlight duel in Texas,
in which Gallivan was said to have
fallen, that article was taken from the
Herald and due credit given.
It may be possible, too, that some
of the statements made in regard to
Gallivan’s connection with the girl
were also wrong, as his friends claim
the following to be the facts :
That John Gallivan first met the
young Canadian lady in St. Louis,
and when his mother found they had
“loved not wisely, but too well,” she
did not oppose their marriage, but
encouraged it in every way she
could. When the girl returned from
her visit to St. Louis, Gallivan’s
mother again urged him to marry
her, and John signified his willing-
ness to do so in the presence of
Father Graham, but he refused to
perform the ceremony. With re-
gard to the frequent trips made by
Organisation Board of Trade.
Pursuant to call a number of our
business men met at Montgomery’s
office last night, for the purpose of
organizing a Board of trade. Mr.
Seisfeld was called to the chair and
Mr. Keuhn chosen temporary sec-
retary. On motion of Mr. Rock-
well the by laws of the old Board of
Trade, of 1S73, (which bad been
read by the secretary), were adopt-
ed. A motion was then made to
proceed to the election of President,
Vice President, Secretary and Treas-
urer. Mr. Star was choSch Presi-
dent; Mr. Siesfeld, Vice President;
Mr. A. R. Collii s, Secretary, and
Mr. J. J. Collins, Treasurer. On
motion of Mr. Rockwell, the elec-
tion of a hoard of directors and
board of arbitration, was postponed
until t lie regular meeting next
Wednesday night.
Adjourned.
It is to be hoped till our business
men will unite with this organiza-
tion. If entered into with earnest-
ness it can accomplish much good
this fall and the coming winter.
The initiation fee is $5 ; monthly
dues, one dollar.
Next Wednesday night is the first
regular meeting and there should be
a general attendance, as there is bus-
iness of public interest to attend to.

were not called for and were return- j
ed to the writer through the dead j

mind to seek a new home where the j
scandal would never reach him, and j
j he did so. This done, he took |
| measures to have the girl taken to J
him, when he nrarried her and has

any work until recently, when I urged
him to try your Hart’s Antibilious Dis-

once began to improve, and the use of
two bottles of it entirely restored him to
heaith, and ha« enabled him lo attend to
and make a lull crop this season. He
says that before using the discovery he
had no appetite and that no food tasted
good to him, but as soon as he commen-
ced the use of it Ins appetite returned
and now he relishes his food as well as
he ever did. Hart’s Antibilious Discov-
