TnE TunSrrkE.--We take pleasure in saying
that arrangements are on foot 10 secure beyond
doubt the building Of the Turnpike from In.

been overcome, and we hope to see the next
crop Of Western Texas transported over At
least large portion Of the road. Thus The
only serious detri;nrnt 10 our trade will DO re.
moved, and our rising young city will win new
laurcls in her rapid march to wealth, prosper
ity, and ultimate greatness. Turnpikes ars
but the prciuds to railroads, and we may feel
assured, from the advantageous position Of
this place, that all the more extended means
of travel and transportation will follow tho pre-.
sent enterprise in due season. hut we prefer
awaiting for action to speak in the premises.
We may say, however, that the country, AZ
we are assured by letters from almost every
ncighborhood, is anxiously looking To the com.
plcton Of this road, az n time when hundreds,
indeed thousands who now trade elsewhere,
will do their shipping and heavy trading here.
lf we are true 10 ourselves, blessed as we arc
with the finest position on the hay as com.
mcrcal mart, nothing can prevent the rapid
concentration Of business here. We have nc.
complishcd much in building up large and
fourishing town from next 10 nothing within
four years; but with enterprise, union and per-
severance, we shall soon sec tho bright rcnlza.

Of city worthy Of the name, worthy Of Wcs-
torn Texas, and OF the South Indianola

Gentle Smiles.

The sweet young flower, OF early spring
Are beautiful 70 me, M 'ai'1 t71to7
And bright the many stars that shine
Upon the calm blue sea; si
But gentle Mnilcs and loving hearts,
Aud hands 20 clasp my own,
Are better than the brightest flowers,
Or stars that ever shone. n
Tho sun may warm the grass to life,
The dews the dropping flower.
And eyes grow brigh, aud watch the light
OF autumn's opening hour;
But gentle smiles Of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time, =
Aud brighter than the dew.
