THE PARTIES to the fight which oc-
Cured at White Rock mills on the
30th of September, had their trial be-
fore Judge KerfoCt yesterday. They
were fined from $25 90 down to
one cent. The young man who bore
the brunt of the battle seemed much
tickled at the way the scales
of justice tilted and after adjournment
of the court proposed "soda" colored
with "bitters."
THAT enterprising firm, Messrs.
Grove 4 Watt, of the Dallas machine,
shops, have employed Mr.. J. Il. Taft
to travel over the state to solicit Or
ders for work in their line such as
sash, doors, blinds, moulding, TRIM
ming, band saving, and general shop
work, as well as to induce the mill
owners to ship their lumber to the
above firm to be worked and transfer
red to the Central road We commend
Mr.. Taft to the favorable consideration
of the people whom he may visit, and
particularly do we recommend the
Dallas machine shops as being the
most extensive in the state, and capa-
BILE of doing work in their line at the
shortest notice and on the most rea-
sonable terms. They can and will
duplicate, at the same cost, all Chicago
and st. Louis bills.
