something left for pocket money. Our

II Is not the purpose of your memo

Their object Is simply to make known
their wishes, and pledge their hearty
cooperation, material or otherwise, In
the support of any steps you may take
leading to It's contamination.
In event of the cession, they stand
ready and are willing, that the parishes
of Caddo and DeSoto shall assume and
pay their proportion Of the existing
state debt Of Louisiana. They do not
ask in their own behalf, that our state
shall lose, nor that the other he bur

THE late war formed many and pecu-
liar friendships. We rarely go into a
large assemblage without being re-
minded of this fact nOld Mortality
is great on friendships--never goes
back OH a friend--and holds friendship
in the abstract as sacred.
The assemblage, in this city, of the
state medical association, has brought
to Dallas medical gentlemen from all
parts of the state. With many we are
not acquainted, but with Others we
have ties that are dear. Besides those
mentioned yesterday, we have had u
happy meeting with DR.. William e.
Daily, of Fannin county, who was a
youthful doctor at General Ben Nc
Culloch's headquarters in 1851 and 1862.
and who placed the bleeding remains
of that heroic chief in the ambulance
that bore them from the field. After
wards he was in the defence OF fort
Hudson in the long and bloody siege
preceding its surrender. We passed
through dark and stormy times with
him, and found him always and under
all circumstances, noble, brave and
true.
DIR. Sayers, of Waco, is another Of
those old army friends who endeared
himselfto thousands during the war,
and since, rs before, stands high
among his follow-citizens.
DIR. Hudspeth has furnished us some
sketches of his army experience which
will be of rare interest.
