From Dallas to Terrell, in Kaufman
county, is trip worth taking. Its
interest IL much enhanced If you can
but get an occasion, Us June Both ult.,
when stern men in quest of solid in
yostment, young men seeking relaXa-
ton and speculation, pretty girls with
1.-the hearts, matrons, happy to en-
brace the joy of others, all comming-
ling in II feast Of reason and Il flow of
soul"
With these The old Texan and the
new Texan, mixed in free and cordial
association, rs we wendell our way in
sweet hrce2cs, with bu0yant hearts to
"vicw the landscape Ger" to purchase
town lots to see old Texan friends, and
renew again the past in warm and So
cial greetings. There were present
fathers With lovely daughters--as Il
Captain s. with the lovely Belle
mothers, with young matronS and III
noccnt babcs-Qs Il Mrs. b., with her
daughter, Mrs b., and her sweet Char
lie; General G. and his lady, with
Judge h., without his lady; Colonel c.,
with wife and daughter, with host of
gay and festive youth and last, but
not least, the genial and honest Cap
tain A., the man whom our convcn-
ton should select as the Democratic
nominee for Governor, and who Cen
eral G. will support, rs well az all Of
Hoods brigade, and Iegious Of old and
new Texans North, South, East and
West
Through the courtesy and policy of
our Texas and Pacific Railway Com
pany, we were permitted TO enjoy this
occasion, and the word is not sufficient
Iy potent to express the idla 1, as it even
exceeded joy to the denizens of Dallas,
giving health and life to the weary and
cmeworn, and filing us with renewed
energy and bright hope for the future
of this great and beautiful land.
AS we sped 10y rail across the lovely
landscape, how many Il spot was
marked
~ prairie home from town and toll remote
Where love and lore may claim alternate
hours"
Many feeling, no b0uht, ~ did poor
Crusoc, had we selected en- route or
abiding place for or earthly abode:
~ am monarch of all | survey,
My right there is none to dispute;
have center'd all round to the sea,
And am lord OF the fowl and the brute
"VENI, vIpI vICI.'
The grand climax of the day was en-
bodied in our social communion with
those old heroes of Texan fame and
worth now resident in Kaufman coun-
ty, and to whom we would refer every
good man for all that Texas is worth
in its length, its breadth, and lis depth
| need but mention their names to old
Texans. To new Texans, must refer
them for all that is noble and worthy
in men, such aged pioneers as Judge
Irvine, Capt. Terrell and Capt. Murphy,
of Kaufman county, whose names are
enrolled high on the scroll Of Texan
history, whose mantlcs have never
been darkened through all time, and
whose names will 20 down to an hon
ored and glorious grave.
Such men are the beacon lights of our
present time, "To know them is to
love them.u We cannot omit to men
ton those urbane and noble gentle
men, TO whom we are indebted for
many courteses: Messrs Desliell and
Waters, of the town of Kaufman, aud
to whose care we shall always take
pride in addressing our friends.
May such pleasures and events often
occur as our great railways progress.
