A negro boy was arrested a few

The “obstrusei” correspondent
* * * of the News is not satisfied
with writing a column of n’onesonse,
striving to gainsay the teachings of
science, but, also calls attention to it
in another article, attributing to us
the authorship of the communica-
tions that appear in our paper.
That is “obstruser” than any thing.
Look out for Bennett k Co’s.,

We don’t know who the contract-
ing parties will be, but tho predic-
tion cannot possibly fail, because
there are too many sweet, pretty,
(somebody head us off) entrancing

nut of a lull in matrimonial matters.
If this were a Mormon community
we know of three that would be

The re-liar-able vice-helmsman of
the bummer's organ givos us tbe
credit for a poetical description of a
rainbow which we published Iasi
Sunday. Tbe communication was
from the pen of one of tho most ac-
complished gentlemen in this part
oi the country nnj we envy his lan-
guage and admire his sentiment.
The communication that appeared
on the same subject in the bummor’s
organ this morning shows tho ear-
marks ol a well known clergyman
of this city and displays his spleen
because the errors of some of his
teachings are mado manifest. The
communication displays dense igno-
rance on the part of * * *. He
tries vainly to laugh down solid
facts booause they do not harmonizo
with his interpretation of tho Bible.
Admirable tactics for a pot-house
politician, but rather undignified on
the part of a clergyman.
Tbe average Denisonian is thor-
oughly aroused to the imporlance
of oiecting an energetic faithful
citizen to the office ol county com-
missioner. There is nothing “in it’’
from a financial standpoint, nod the
glory is limited indeed. Therefore
there will be none eager for tbe
place The names that have been
used in connection with the office
are of men who have no willingness
or burning desire to serve the coun-
ty in that capacity, and nono of
them could be induced to take tbe
place unloss the poople insist upon
it; in the lattor case any of those men-
tioned will, we should think sacra-
fice their time and work for the
benefit of the city. It is necessary
that we concentrate upon some one
man in order that we may not, by
a division, lose an opportunity to
be well represented. We have
been too long in subjection to Sher-
man and it is necessary that we
make a etrong pall to assert out
independence. Our citizens should
not lose sight of the fact that it
will be a condescension on tho part
of any of the gentlemen named to
accept the position. The placo is
not sought, and does not present
any ol those particularly inviting
features which usually ennse a
-wamble. Who shall it b* ?

OUT ON BAIL.
Matt Woodlief, a notorious gam-
bler, who created a little stir hero
by provoking a difficulty with Brad
Harrison, and who has been in jail
at Houston for some time has final-
ly succeeded in giving bail. Wood-
leit’s crimo is an attempt to murder
an officer of Houston. Tho Tela-
grant says:
Yesterday morning Matt Wood-
liol was released from the county
jail, upon giving u bond of $1,000 to
the sheriff for his appearance at the
October term of the criminal court.
Mr. J. C. Woodlief, a brother of
the defendent, and Mr. Autry, oi
tho Crystal Palaeo saloon, are tho
nameB on the bond.
Many of Woodlief’s friends con-
gratulated him yesterday oo suc-
ceeding in giving bond and again
being at liberty. He has lain in tbe
jail since his arrest nt Fort Smith,
Ark., and to a man of his tempera-
ment incarceration was doubly vox-
acious and annoying. Still be docs
not appear to have suffered from im-
prisonment. His friends say that he
will not attempt to again avoid a tri-
al,but will “stand the racket,” which-
ever way it may turn, at tho noxt
term of the court.

Our citizens are almost all in fa-
vor of tho street working ordinance
going into effect at an early day,be-
fore the business season opens.
Since it is understood that no man
will be required to work outside of
his own ward much of the objection
has become silenced.
The Herald’s correspondent at
Fort Worth kept sober all the time
and tho latest news came piling in.
Our renders can always depend on
getting the very latest news in the
great and good Herald.
Pni:.t«i'« -wppliosnl Anhosoii's.
fare and growth pi Doniaon are now
engaged in discussing the virions
drawbacks that Denison encounter-
ed during last season and the prop-
er method oi overcoming them this
year. Our commercial reporter
mado the grand rounds this morn-
ing, among our principal business
men, and found them fully
aroused to counteract the causes
that worked against us last
year. They all condemn the drum-
ming system as being calculated to
injure tho good name of tbe city. It
is said that many farmers were driv-
en from this market by the impor-
tunate persistence of the drum-
mers for some of our business hous-
es. They all acknowledge tho ne-
cessity of electing a good county
commissioner that will have an eye
to our roads, and that will jealously
guard aguinst tho shamoful discrim-
ination that has heretofore been
made in ihe interests of Sherman.
Another drawback is also mention-
ed and it is a very serious one. It
is tbe discrimination made last year
by the H. AT. C. railroad against
Denison cotton. The rate from
Denison was $2.50 per balo to Gal-
veston, while from Sherman it was
never more than $1.75. This had
the effect of driving buyers from
this market. If that lino of
railway proposes to follow up the
same policy this year it wonkl be
well for merchants to inform them-
selves of it at onco before making
their shipping contracts. The I). k
S. E. also gives an outlet to Galves-
ton, and wo nro not so much nt the
mercy of the Coutral road as we
were. We are told that a shipper
last yoar paid tho local rate from
Denison to Sherman and shipped
his cotton thenco to Galveston,saving
fifty cents per balo by roshipping.
The first gentleman met by our
commercial young man was
TOBIAS PORTER
of the Dollar Store who expressed
himself as very firmly opposed to
the drumming system. He had dis-
charged his drummers and hoped
that the action of other merchants
would not mako it nccossary for him
to.rc-engago others. Hoped n good
man would bo elected as county
commissioner. Believed that tho
drumming system, the bad roads,
and high freights lust year had lost
this city but little short of a half
million dollars of trado. Thought
that theso three drawbacks could be
and should be overcome. Was wil-
ling to entor into compact with his
brother merchants to discontinue
drumming.
The next porson visited was
WILL BENNETT,
of the firm of Bennett & Co. He
thinks our trado has been injured
by drumming and hopes that the
merchants will discontinue it. It is
tho cause of much dissatisfaction,
gives rise to villification of business
houses by drummers from other
houses, that their employers would
not stoop to bo parly to. Ho find
been spoken to about becoming a
andidate for tlio position ot county
commissioner but thought that tliero
were olher men who could do more
for tbe city in that office. Looked
for a heavy prosperous trade this
fall, unless our merchants pursued
tho suicidal policy of driving awn}
trado by allowing the tanners and
others to be annoyed by importunate
drumming.
J. J. OWENS,
ol the firm of Hanna, Owens k Co.,
expressed himself against tlio drum-
ming nuisnneo. .Said that no mer-
chant should bo allowed to solicit
trade either in person or by agent,
except immediately in front of tlieir
own premises.
M. SINOER
was willing to do just as the other
merchants in his line. If others
persisted in drumming ho would do
the same, if they relinquished the
system lie would do likewise.
H. CASPER
of the Flag Store coincided with the
opinion as given above and hoped
that it would be possible to do with-
out drummers. Considered it derog-
atory to tbe trade of the city to
permit it.
Messrs. Star, Mandlebamn, Col-
lins, Goldsoll and ether merchants
were called on, but were oot in
their respective stores at the time
our financial man visited them.
It is plain that our business men
are alive to thoir interests and we
would suggest that the matter be
fully discussed at tbe meeting to-
night, as most of our merchants will
be in attendance.
