To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
On the 29th of October the people OF
Ennis, Ellis county, gave splendid
barbecue to celebrate the completion
of a first class Touring mill ut that
thriving and live place, on the Gen.
trail railroad. About three thousand
people were present. The old vet
eran, G. NJ. Winkler, of Coisi-
cana, a pioneer in this part of the
country, made the opening speech.
He surpassed his well earned reputa-
tiou as a man Of mind and brought
tears to many eyes by his contrast
of the past with the present
John Henry Brown, of Dallas, fol-
lowed the brave old patriot, but being
the writer of this, the fact can only be
mentioned.
Judge Miller, of Corsicana, made an
excellent speech, appropriate TO the
occasion. The principal owner of the
mill referred to is Joseph Mullhall, OF
st. Louis, Missouri, who has invested
twenty thousand dollars in it, and Mr.,
David Langton is the worthy superin'
tendent.

HENRY CLEws, the New York bank
er, whose suspension and assignment
was announced some ten days ago, has
been brought up i'm the courts at the
suit of parties who wished to have the
assignment set aside on the charge
that he was fraudulently putting away
and disposing of his estate for the pur-
pose of avoiding payment of his debts.
In reply he said that he had made the
assignment for the purpose Of giving
every creditor an equal shance. AT
the first suspension a year ago he was
sanguinc that the market would react
as rapidly as it had fallen; hence he
