give you a few notes from this beauti-
ftil young city.
Dallas, as many Of your readers
know, IL located on the North bank of
the Trinity river, In the center Of the
county OF the same name. II was set
tied about thirty years ago, first us a
trading post for the Indians. II i'm
proved VI ny slowly until about eigh-
teen months ago, when the Houston
and Texas Central Railroad was COM
Pleted to this city. Since then II has
male strides nearly unparalleled in the
South and West. The situation OF the
town Is not high and healthftll, as most
persons prefer, but, Notwithstanding
Dallas has a bright future. II number
ed two years ago about three thousand
souls, and now, from reliable authority.
] am informed there are about eight
thousand.

the public square to the depot one-half
