Thanks to our Representative, Captain

The Epizooty and Yankee weather is
somewhat retarding work on the Texas &
Pacific Railway.
Our "boys" all took Christmas and
seemed to have n "fat take" of II. Bull
lee. .-t
The fire ut Boston seems to have driven
the cold, incident to that delightful Sec
ton, into Texas. .-,.-
We we're shown last week by Major
Olcott, two magnificent specimens Of ma
tive coal found near the line Of the, Texas
&-Pacio Pailroad, West.
We devoured so much turkey on Christ
mas that our friends will not be surprised
five "strut' for few days. Don't think
us proud because our publisher has got a
new cloak; nothing Of the sort, it's simply
turkey. is t-.1l g.
The HERALD force are duly grateful to
the /" Merchants Exchange" for that
Christmas treat, Wine, Egg-Nogg, Cake,
etc., and assure the generous proprietor
that his health and happiness was fully
toasted.
This thing of dressing Christmas din
ners with "KRuG" wine is somewhat de-
moralizing, especially to impecunious
journalists, it makes one little shakey as
to his lot. We don't advise it as a prac-
tice.
Obligations mountains high to Mr.. T
J. Frank, for a sharp Christmas trick he
played our household; the cutlery is beau
tiful and destined to cut q figure under
our "vine and fg"-almost as useful in
its character as will the kind-hearted
donor in the affairs of the community, and
may he carrc magnificent results for him
self in the immediate future.
Our contemporary of the News hasbeen
made happy in the pos session of beauti-
fuloloak. We were in at the christening,
and held the Majors head while he ex-
pressed his gushing gratitude in GLOVER
case caps" FIVE beautiful tableaux 10 slow
music, etc. We congratulate the Major
as IL. came of much Coon and may much
good come of it, Selah |
The editor dined out on Christmas day,
where he was pleased to meet friend
from the COUNTRY, Col. Van Slyck. of
Mckinney. The Col. looks charming,
and, together with all around that fe stiye
board, made turkey and SIGH like goodies
seem very unhappy. Thanks to our
worthy host for feast alike Of reason
and of "grub, "a flow Of soul and "Krug,"
Our feasting and flowing was composed
chiefly of the grub and wine-while 9th
ers dined on reason, and invested in soul
flowing. Without pretending extrasrdina'
nv astuteness, this subscriber is serene |
upon the point that he did very we'll in
his choice. ~ jtg
Our publisher dined on Christmas at
the Crutchfeld House, and is an aspirant
for aldorm anic honors; having already at
tanned the reg ulation proportions, he
seems to think his chances pretty good.
We we're entertained at great length BY |
his glowing description of the Bill of
Fare, and were sorry to dampen his ardor |
with the assertion that he was simply re-
citing the "epery day" bill, as il it were
possible (poor deluded mani, for the
Crutchfeld to improve upon regular fare. |
Now ps are high toned, and being board.
err at the Crutch field can calmly discuss
wonderoust culinary achievements, because
as such boarder, we're used to It, don't
you see. E,lc ft..f-
