That AAAA flour at Clark and Tal-
lant’s takes the lead.
Denison is a lively town, and the livent
! thing about It is the Daily News. Mur*
ray always has his columns filled with
j interesting reading. He devotes a few
spare moments occasionally to the kindly
I but futile effort to instil into the mind of
j his diminutive cotemporary, of the Times,
the propriety of transmitting to posterity
i with his little scratchit, not stich ku-klux,
j blood-and-thunder tales as he concocts
to suit the Radical palate ot his northern
I friends, but plain matters of fact and ac-
tual occurrence, such, in fact, as he can
lay before ms readers without incurring
the suspicion of being utterly at logger-
heads with common truth and honesty. •*
Bonham News,
Its no use to try to instil into the mind
of the editor 01 the Times a decent regard
for truth. That remarkable intellectual
prodegy, who reflects the ideas of his
aged sire, has been well trained. When
the good of Texas is on one side of the
balance and the Denison postoffice on
the other, it does not require any sagacity
to predict the course of our neighbor.
These are very uncertain times for post-
masters and revenue collectors, and it
behooves incumbents to manitest an un-
usual oegree ot lovaltv and zeal in doing
the dirty work of the Radical party, if
they would retain their fat appointments.
Mr. Henry Waterman, of Fort Worth,
arrived this noon.

Avery, Rosecrants & Co. are getting
in a large stock of groceries, etc., to-day.
Prof. Meyerhoefer’s string Band draws
well. He has a season engagement.
Ten car loads of brick will be shipped
to McKinney, this evening.
Fresh fish from Red River, mostly buf-
falo, and nice large ones, sell on our
streets at ten cents a pound.
J. W. Jennings has- bidden farewell to
Denison for a season, to spend a few
weeks in the Island city.
W. B. Boss left for the south this morn-
ing, on business. When he leaves home,
its always on business.

Messrs. Scisfelds have made so much
money during the cotton season, they
have found it necessary to buy another
safe.
There will be a social of the Presbyte-
rian society to-night, at Mrs. Rue’s, on
Gandy street, between Austin and Bur-
net.

Mrs. V. P. Jordon, who has been spend-
ing the summer with kinfolks in Bloom-
field, Iowa, returned home Wednesday

Barrett, President of the Refrigerator
Company, and John Scullin, recently
elected President of the Arctic Ice Com-
pany, are both in the city.
Mr. W. H. Taylor was up at Spring-
town, Thursday, to obtain lumber with
which to enlarge the platform at the Com-
press.
Z. T. Anderson, the newly appointed
express messenger between Sedalia and
Denison, who takes the place of Mr.
Ryan, arrived in our city this morning,
it being his first trip.
The patrons of the old Accommodation
Market will luxuriate on choice mutton
now. Quinn purchased a dozen of the
finest sheep you ever set your eyes on
last evening.
Dr. J. H. Kern, who has been spend-
ing the summer at Houston and Galves-
ton, introducing his newly discovered
remedy tor the cure of fever, is in the
city, and will remain several days.
At the Alamo.
E. S. Mety, ol the firm of Wm. Storey

heiiner, representing a leading New York
hardware firm, and Henry Bissell, of
Davenport, Iowa,
The Presbyterian choir meets at the
church to-morrow night. Prof. W. R.
Arcv has tendered the choir the use ot
one of his fine New England organs,
which may be listened to Saturday night,
and next Sunday. Miss Andrews will
preside at the instrument.
We insert to-day the card of Julian C.
Field, M. D. Dr. Field was the first
physician who practiced in Denison.
He has made a reputation during these
two years which is a most flattering re-
commendation, rendering it entirely un-
necessary for us to speak in his praise.
His office is now in the Alamo Hotel.
Constable Cummins has seized upon a
desk, upon an execution against the c'ty,
in favor of Jacob Swindermanrt, which he
proposes to sell on the 16th of this month.
Inasmuch as the citv charter expressly
provides that all city property, whether
real or personal, shall be exempt from
*ale under execution, it behooves the city
guardians to look into the matter.
Musical Notice.
Prof. W. R. Arey, General Agent for
the State of Texas, for Guild, Church &
Co’s celebrated musical instruments,
wishes us to notify the public that he has
on exhibition one of their superior pian-
os, in the room east of Winn's gun shop,
also, the New England organ, and would
be pleased to have gentlemen or ladies
drop in any time during the day and try
them. The piano was brought from Bos-
ton, was transferred at St. Louis on
trucks, and on being put up in this city
required no tuning whatever. Probably
no other instrument in the world could be
transported so long a distance without
being thrown out of tune. Mr. Arey will
sell these instruments at Boston prices,
charging nothing for transportation.

Waterman, Well & Star.
For several weeks past we have observ-
ed dray load after dray load of goods be-
ing taken from the depot to the great dry
goods and clothing house ot Messrs.
Waterman, Weil& Starofthis city, and a
few days ago we called in and took a cur-
sory review of their stock. Although all
their goods have not arrived, yet we found
their stock in every department full and
complete. L’heir dress goods and gents
furnishing goods are especially superior
in quality, and almost endless in variety.
Their stock ot boots and shoes also is
very large and embraces every style.
They have ladies custom made shoes that
are made especially for them and bear
their stamps upon them. We can give
but a faint idea of the amount of their
stock. This is the oldest dry goods firm
in our city, and deservedly popular with
our people. Having two other houses,
one in Chetopa, Kansas, and the otuer in
Fort Worth Texas, and thus buying in
such large quantities, and having a resi-
dent buyer iu New York, give them ad-
vantages in the purchase of goods enjoyed
by few firms in the west.
Council Proceedings.
At the regular meeting of the Council
Tuesday night, there were present Coun-
cilmen Cook, Holford, Leonard. Acheson
and Tone.
Some fifteen accounts, mostly small
sums, were audited and allowed.
The Marshal presented a report for the
quarter ending October 31, showing re-
ceipts from Recorder’s Court and social
evil fines of $335 30.
The question arising how the interest
on the $15,000 school bond sold to get
money to buy school furniture, should be
paid, a committee of three, consisting of
Halford, Acheson and Tone, together
with the Mayor, was appointed to confer
with the First National Bank with a view
to devise means to meet the January in-
terest.
After discussion of school and other
matters not ot special interest, the Coun-
cil adjourned to meet next Thursday
evening.
Messrs. G. S. Giersa & Co., grocers on
Austin Avenue, have again introduced
into this market the celebrated XXXX
flour, manufactured at Schmook’s mills,
Springfield, Mo. A year ago more of
this flour was used in this citv than any
other brand, and it gave universal satis-
faction. We have given the flour nowon
sale at Messrs. Giersa & Co’s, a trial and
find it fully sustains its former reputa-
tion. It well deserves the title of family
favorite.
Burnett, ot the Bonham Enter-
prise, has experienced a change.
He has left the Methodist church
and become a Christian.
tiulck Work,
Our friend A. B>
arrived here
from Fort Sill on Monday. Tuesday he
called on some friends, and was there in-
troduced to one of cur handsomest young
ladies. Yesterday they were engaged,
and next Monday he will lead his fair
bride to the hymeneal altar. We saw
him yesterday trying on his wedding
suit. It is of the finest French broad-
cloth; Is a splendid fit, and does great
credit to Mr. A. Teah, at whose estab-
lishment it was bought.
The commanding operation of Dr.
Walker’s Vinegar Bitters in Chronic
Dyspepsia, Fevers, Nervous Disorders,
Constipation, deficiency of vital power,
and all maladies affecting the stomach,
the liver, the bowels, the pulmonary or-
gans, or the muscular system, is exciting
the wonder of scientifiic men and creating
such a sensation among the sick as was
ever before witnessed in any age. The
sales of this great vegetable remedy have
been quadrupled within a single year,

Medical Advice.
The best medical authorities are a unit
on the question of pure wines. The ben-
eficial effect 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 be had
in the market. We would call special
attention to his “Kelley Island" being
one of the purest wines in the country.
