Our venerable friend, Paul Watson,
left an open cotton boli at the News of-
fice Thursday morning. Mr. Watson
says he could have sent one in at least
ten days ago. lie had not heard of the
cash premium offered by our merchants
for the first bale, until he took his copy
of the News out of the postofliee, but the
way he huseled around and did his little
trading, we judged he was in a hurry to
get home and go to picking.
Tin* RtiMd DMaliM A|*bt. [/
The New* received a call Thursday
evening from Mr. Proctor, of Savoy, who
came to Denison to arrange, if possible,
for the meeting ol a committee from his
section, with a like committee of Denison
business men, to see if some plan cannot
be devised to improve the road leading
from Savoy to tins city. Mr. Proctor as-
sure* us that the people in his neighbor-
hood are all anxious to dispose of their
products in Denison,- and purchase their
supplies of our merchants, but they can-
not 'each us now with heavy loads. The
greatest obstacle is the crossing of Mill
creek, about eight miles from here. He
suggests that a bridge be built at Caney
crossing. The cost would not exceed
$300. and he is of the opinion it could be
built with less money. The farmers are
willing to contribute their share towards
its construction, and want to know if the
citizens of Denison will meet them halt
way. -
This matter of making good roads is of
vital importance to on' city, and the
News has repeatedly called the attention
of our business men to the subject.
Mr. Proctor’s visit should not be al-
lowed to pass by unheeded. Would it
not be well to call a meeting and appo'nt
a committee to confei with the citizens of
Savoy and vicinity ?
New Religious Monthly.
The Temperance Watchman, published
at Honey Grove, compliments the News
with the initial number of the Texas
Christian Monthly, published at the
Watchman office. It is a neat publica-
tion of thirty-two pages, stitched in cov-
ers, devoted to “The Rible, the Church
and the Family.” Terms, 5S1 a year. J.
R. Wilmeth, editor, assisted by C. M
Wilmeth. There are also several co-edi-
tors. It will rank among the first reli-
gious publications in the State.

aug Dj-.tf.
The workmen commenced putting on
the roofing on D. W. C. Davis’two-story
brick Thursdav. This article of roofing
is something new in this state, and said
to he very durable, superior to tin or any
other article yet used for the purpose. It
is iron, in continuous sheets, extending
the whole length of the building. The
Mr. W. H. Draper met with * teViTble
accident about 2 o’clock Thursday even*
ing. He was cutting wood south of town,
when his ax caught in n grape vine and
the blow fell on hi* leg, cutting the bone
entirely intwo between the knee and an-
kle. His cries attracted the attention of
Mr. Freemen who went to his assistance,
and took him in his wagon to Mr Ford’s
who lives in the southwestern portion of
the city. Drs. Wood and Williams were
summoned, who dressed the wound and
rendered such other assistance as lay in
their power. The bone is badly shattered,
and it, is quite likely Mr. Draper will lost
his leg.
Gray.ou County Property.
The Sherman Register published a few
days since, under the above head, a state-
ment purporting to show the assessed
valuation of Grayson county property,
and which was copied in these columns.
The Register of Thursday morning says
that report was grossly incorrect, and
publishes the following as being accurate:
No. of acres, 449,554; value.... $2,275 44°
Town lots, value............. 930 710
Personal property............. 1,832 805
Total...............'........85.038 955
Number of polls in the county, 5005;
No. in Sherman, 1970; in Denison, 1002.
Amount of property in precinct No. 1.
82.444 355;|in precinct No. 5, $1,011,190.
Amount of lands situated in other coun-
ties and owned by persons in Grayson—
number of acres, 134,607; value, $184,250.
Mr. Tune Rises to Explain.
Mr. Tone called upon 11s yesterday to
say that we were somewhat in error in
our statement regarding the schools and
school fund. He represents the case as
follows:
When the July interest became due Mr.
Perry (who represents the parties holding
a majority of the bonds) propo-ed to the
tax collector to use the coupons which tie
held in payment ol taxes.
Thcco’lector consulted with members
of the council and it was agreed lo with
the understanding that the school fund
so applied should be returned out of the
first moneys collected. With these cou-
pons Mr. Perry paid the taxes of the M.,
K. & T. railroad, the bank, and other par-
ties whom he represents >0 the amount ol
about $3000, of which about $:00c pro-
Dr. Field* is building an addition to his
residence.
Steps are boing taken to repair the
Whitesboro road. Cannot our Justice of
the Peace get this avenue declared a first
clase road, and ekpend some county funds
on it?
The Wilcox & Gibbs is the lightest
running, fastest sewing machine made.

The Truth.
In the whole United States there is not
a baking powder or flavoring extract that
Is so valuable, so positive, so effectual in
producing the most elegant and healthful
bread and biscuits, the most delicious,
desirable and delicate flavored cakes, pas-
try, ice cream, et.\, as Dr. Price’s justly
celebrated Cream Baking Powder and
true flavoring extracts, almond, lemon,
and aromatic flavors. Try them and you
will be delighted with their true qualities,
and find that they are far superior to any-
thing in their line.

DUUntfuiKlwd Arrivals.
The following distinguished citizens of
Denison arrived from Kansas City Thurs-
day evening. Win. Hughes, real estate
agent; Jo. Cottreaux, confectioner and
fruit dealer; Jo. Lintz, jeweler. They re-
port business exceedingly dull in Kansas.
A great many inquiries were made regard-
ing Texas, and especially Denison.
The News was favored with a call
Thursday from Mr. H. C. Stone, brother
of I). W. Stone, of the firm of Stone &
Guy, this city. Mr. II. C. Stone, is of the
firm of Skinner and Stone, cotton factors,
Galveston, and is making the tour of
North Texas to arrange lor securing a
share of the cotton crop this season. He
thinks their house can make it to the ad-
vantage of our dealers to ship to his
house.
The News received a call from Capt.
Seaman Field, Thursday morning, a San
Antonio acquaintance of war days. The
Captain is on his way to Boston, having
closed an engagement with the large
wholesale drygoods and notions house ol
Perry, Cook it Tower. The Captain isonc
of the best accountants in Texas, and a su-
perior salesman His extensive acquain-
tance with business men ot this State will
prove of great value to his house, and
they are very fortunate in securing ids
services
An awning went up iu front of Sam’s
saloon yesterday.
A lady said to be subject to mental est-
rangement at times is confined in the
calaboose. The appeals of this woman to
be liberated from the filthy place is
heartrending. It is a disgrace to the city
to permit her to be locked up like a de-
praved criminal, in *uch a place, and
some steps should be taken to remove
her. If it is not proper to give her her
liberty, and her friends are too poor to
take care of her, then let money be raised
by subscription to send her to the lunatic
asylum.
Pure drugs at Acheson’s.
dition to this a few other persons who
have the welfare of the city at heart paid
their taxes in order to make up as nearly
as possible the whole amount of interest
due. This is virtually al! the tax that
has been paid, and if the remainder of our
citizens will show the same readiness in
paying their taxes, our school fund will be
in no danger whatever.
Mr. Hanna did not ask of the council
the sdicol monies so used, but in common
with the other trustees, did ask that the
school fund be kept as a separate deposit
subject to the order of the trustees, in or-
der that they might know what amount
they had to draw upon for the payment of
teachers.

, A Family Jar. 1 v ^
Thursday night about 9 o’clock a man
who live* on Austin avenue, two doors
from Uhlig’s, concluded to try the exper-
iment of giving his wife a good round
cursing, but she being a plucky woman,
gave it back to him as good as he sent.
Seeing lie had no advantage with his
tongue, this lord of creation com-
menced to throw stovewood, which
raised the woman’* dander, and
she went for him in earnest. Grab-
bing a stick of wood she ran him up the
avanue and finally gave him a welt with
it across the sconce which stretched the
gentleman on the side walk. Policemen
Mitchell and Farmer prevented further
i amages by marching them both oil to
the lockup.
We publish in another column assess
or Tone’s explanation regarding the em-
ployment of a portion of the school money
for other purposes. The News has no
doubt the intention is, as he says, to re-
place this money very soon ; but a certain
place is said to be paved with good in
tentions. Good intentions do not make
wrong right. The News mu-t insist that
money collected from the people for a
specific purpose cannot, with justice to
the tax payers, be diverted to other uses.

those ot any other class of merchandise.
Hence the liquoi dealer who sells on
