Miss L.M. Haynes had a narrow escape from drowning last Saturday when she was fishing in the stream near Major K.M. Van Zandt's residence. She walked out on a log above the water, about 19 feet deep, and lost her balance. Master Kleba Van Zandt was near, and with presence of mind that would have done credit to one twice his age, rescued the young lady. W.W. Southworth left yesterday for St. Louis where he will be in business with his father. This is a rather sudden departure and he will be greatly missed by his many friends here.
Fort Worth can boast the best regulated dairy in the state.
Mr. Norwood says that for one hundred dollars, he can furnish more milk in any one day than any other milk vendor in Texas. Several accordions, violins, some fine paper, and a box of Miller's electioneering cards were taken. There is no clue as to who the thief may have been. We want the friends of Col. Roby to know that he has suddenly become very rich. We learn from reliable authority that large quantifies of genuine yellow gold have been discovered on his farm in Johnson County.
