aud private, in contemplation.

10 our city rs you have evidence in
tho number of JodrderS in your coun.

Tcsponsiblc-but up TO this time,
from somo cause or other, no con .
tract has been lot out. have seen
several very pretty drafts of tho
proposed building, by our moclan-
les horc, ono Of which, would DO not
only u commodious and safe one,
but an ornament: IL is TO DO hoped
that tho Court will Immediately en-
tor into contract.
Ono great necessity 10 our county,
and which hope soon To SEQ elliott,
ing tho attention of the Court, is the
bridging of such of our streams rs
cross tho main thorouglaros leading
'to tho adjoining counties. This is
amattcr of public necessity which
should not he overlooked by the au-
.1horitiHs. There is no telling what
sums this place has lost in past years
by n want of bridges over the
streams and particularly across the
Trinity river. In these days when
,dron Bird gcs can DO erected at such
"a comparatively trifling cost, there
rs no excuse for n lack of them. /,
for one, would. willingly SEQ the
county run in debt largely, to ac-
compIish this purpose, and would
.considcr't tho debt county blessing.
Our people aro beginning to talk
'"Rai'road" again. Much attention
has been recently attracted toward
the Southern Pacific or Marshall
Railroad, and efforts arc going to DO
made here, to induce tho moro rapid
construction Of this road to our city.
i presume you will hear something
of tho movement through the Her
aid. With tho Southern Pacific, and
tho Texas Central crossing at or
near this city, Dallas will begin to
realize its Importance as q place of
business.

hot weather, as, presume, is tho

impossible to "kccp COOL"
Crops have turned out good-cot-

farmers arc in very good humor
with themselves and tho ''rcst of
mankind" And to crown tho whole,
and to make somo amends for the
warm weather, We have been luxri-
ating on ali varieties of the finest
vegetables that could be grown any
