Imnortant TO the Peonle.

We find the following paragraph in the
Texas Almanac Extra, of the Goth ult;
We are happy to say that the Military
BOARD has received large number of SUI
pcrior cotton cards, which they intend to
distribute to the several counties upon the
basis of the scholastic census. letter
has been addressed to the Chief Justice of
every county in the State, to the effect that
they will receive their pro rata by sending
for them and paying the price fixed, viz
$40 pr. pair, in currency. The Board re-
quests the County Courts to make the Dis
tribution in such way as will result in most
good to the public, cnjoining upon them
that the needy families of those in the SER
vice be first supplied, and that, in no case,
shall greater price be charged for the
cards than the cost to the county, including
transportation. Should any county. de-
cline the offer Of the Board, they are re-
queslcd to notify them at once.-The Board
are supplying these cards ut the third OF
The ruling market price, and in distribu-
ting the present invoice will save the people
from $4,000 to 100000.
The County Of Dallas win receive 200
pairs of cards under the above distribu-
ton. aud we learn that our Chief Justice
has notified the Military Board that he
will send for them as soon as arrangements
can be made for the transportation.
