According to the Free Press,

the proposed route of the Thur-
ber tap. Mr. Johnstone says the
railroad officials were greatly sur-
prised when they learned what a
good country the line intersected.
They had supposed it was all rocks
and scrub timber, and when
they saw it in its true light—as
one of the most fertile regious of!
the state—they were naturally
surprised. Mr. Hamilton will be
here on Sunday to ride over the
route with Mr. Johnstone and oth-
er members of the committee. The
two gentlemen say they feel much
encouraged over the matter.

The Journal job press has
been very busy all the past week,
turning out as pretty a lot of sta-
tionary as was ever printed in
Texas. We don’t profess to be
the “only first-class job printers
in the town,” but we let our work
speak for us. That has a voice
louder IbaiLgas and “blow.”

Seven straight cars of merchan-
dise were sidetracked here one
day last week, and will be sold
this spring to the wise buyers of
Erath and adjoining counties who
come here to trade. Stephenville
is raking theni in. Her territory
spreads and grows, and her mer-
chants wear smiles about two
yards in length.
Texas Home Corner, Mrs. Julia
Truitt Bishop’s weekly contribu-
tion to first-class literature, has
enlarged to 16 pages, and is just
what its name implies—a paper for
the homes of Texas. We are al-
ways glad to see our Texas ladies
succeed, and we congratulate the
fair proprietress of the Home Cor-
ner on this evidence of her pros-
perity. ______
Sidney, New South wales, will
exhibit at the fair a wonderful
•clock. It is 45 feet high and 25
feet square at the base, within it
is exhibited the motion of the sun,
Venus and the earth, Mercury and
some of the other planets. The
earth is shown revolving on its
axis around the sun, and the moon
around the earth. The sun is rep-
resented by an eleetric globe,
which illuminates the other plan-
ets.
Two years ago Dr. Hiller, of
Wilmington, died leaving his wid-
aw about five million dollars, one
million Of which she spent in
a magnificent mausoleum to re-
ceive his remains. From this ex-
travagant expenditure in honor of
the dead it would have been nat-
urally inferred that Mrs. Hiller
-mould remain inconsolable for a
good many years if not forever.
