His brother, David Langton, living at

have had to remain inside during lecess

aware tne city authorities are

not cost mueli, and we hope the Council
will discuss the matter at their next meet-
ing and see if some means cannot be de-
vised to secure these much needed im-
provements.
One by one the old landmark* are dis-
appearing. The temporary structures
erected the Hrat few months of our city’s
existence are rapidly giving way for more
substantial buildings. Last Tuesday the
old Town Company’s office, near the
corner of Owings street and Rusk avenue,
was removed by Captain Southerland to
tne north side of the city.
This rough house consisting of one
room barely ten by twelve feet in size
was one of the very first “buildings” put
up in what was then called “Red River
City.” It was erected in August, 1872,
betore the city had been surveyed or a
street located. It was at one time the
land office, postoffice and railroad ticket
office, and general business headquarters.
Notwithstanding it was a small affair with
a rough exterior, it played an important
part in the early history of Denison, and
thousands of dollars changed hands there-
in. Though far from ornamental we re-
gretted lo see it taken away. We think
the town company might have donated it
to the city to be preserved in the Park as
an interesting relic of the eventful days
ot ’72.

Thoroughbred Short Horns,
There might have been seen this morn-
ing a lot of superior short horn calves at
Day’s stable. They belonged to Mr. VV.
P. Lockhart, an old Texan, and of Mason
county, win arrived with them on the
morning train from Kansas City. Mr.
Lockhart has a large stock ranch in Ma-
son county, and has purchased these
calves for the sol • purpose of improving
his own stock. The K.rasas f. i y Journal
of Commerce, has this to say 01 Mr. Lock-
hart’s purchase:
Mr W. P. Lockhart, ot Mason county,
Texas, has become the owner of the very
superior lot of thoroughbred short-horn
calves brought out recently by Jas. C.
and Geo Hamilton, ot Mt. Sterling, Kv.
Thes- calves will be started to the Lone
Star State at once, and we doubt not will
be worth many thousand dollars to the
cattle interest of Mason county. Nine-
teen of these twenty-one calves are splen-
did in form, beautilul in color, and thor-
oughly pure in blood.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Medical Advice.
The best medical authorities are aunit
on the question ot pure wines. The ben-
eficial eli'ect of the pure juice of the grape
on the system is undoubted. Mr. Louis
Lebrecht has received a shipment of the
best native and imported wines to he nad
in the market. We would call special
attention to his “Kelly Island” being one
of the purest wines in the country.
