The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1875-09-17

prairie hay followed each other yester-
day evening up Elm street with the
regularity and dignity of funeral pro
cession. The load was soon disposed
of at two prominent livery stables.
Rain and muddy weather will
soon furnish sufficient cause to justify
the amount Of grumbling necessary to
keep the average citizen in u good
humor.
Yesterday was the dullest of all
dull days from repotorial stand point.
The Mayors court only boasted of two
mild cases of intoxication, and other
items were proportionately scarce.
Cutters and raised crossings would
not cause any one much unhappiness
this winter, and we think the ladies
would be especially grateful to the
City Fathers for the latter convent
ence.
--Jchenck u Co. are doing thriving
business in the tin roofing line. Their
last job on the new stable opposite the
Lamar hotel Is model Of mechanical
skill and workmanship. See their
card in another column.
THE HERALD received large in
voice, yesterday evening, of stock and
job material. This was perhaps the
largest invoice of material In this line
ever delivered at printing Office in
Dallas. Under the present press Of bll-
siness, however, twill soon "pass Of"
The people of this city were in
tensely gratifed yesterday evening by
receiving u natural cooling oil. The
streets had been suilocatingly hot and
dusty all day, and when the grateful
rain fell, more than one sigh of relief
was given. This morning in place of
dust we have sloppy crossing, but it
Is welcomed because it is u change, If
for no other reason.
This afternoon Hicks " Kriel will |
open n market on the Buckhorn cor
ner and will keep constantly on hand
Il large and fresh supply of all the
meats that the general market affords.
They solicit share of public patron
nge and guarantee satisfaction to all
parties.
Attention Is called to the adver-
tisement of Mrs. Nowlen's boarding
house. She has large, well furnished
rooms with excellent board Mt reason
able rates, and last, but not least, she
boasts OF cistern of unsurpassed els
tern water. Her residence is just In
the rear CT the postoflice.
On Main street beyond the Market
house, on both sides of the railroad
Track, and especially on the right hand
side going out, there is deep hollow
ying several feet below the track,
1t very rough for vehicles, and
letting them down so suddenly that
there Is great injury done them. The
City Engineer should grade the streets.
The ladies of the north and east
are commencing to wear their dresses
80 high In front that one can rs easily
ell the color of their stockings rs the
'olor of their eyes. This style has not
NJ yet reached Dallas, but its coming
s inevitable, so ladies be prepared in
line.
Ladies' dresses this fall will be
wonderful to behold strange beasts,
birds, curious hieroglyphics and fam
lastic characters Of all descriptions
viii be stamped on all varieties of
iress goods, and judging from some
descriptions we have already seen,
ady will more resemble an escaped
emale convict than fashonably at
ired person of the gentler sex.
--Dallas can boast of more hotels.
restaurants, boarding houses and lunch
counters than any other city of its size
n the country. Every class of people
md every variety of appetite can be
'nited here. The gentleman of means
nm crafty his cultivated taste with Ill
most any known luxury, and the poor
nan can satisfy his hunger by sub
tantial meal at a reasonable price.
"A fight occurred yesterday even
ng, on the banks of the Trinity, near
he toll bridge, between two negroes,
which resulted in a ducking for one
If them. The rain had made the
Hope of the river bank very slippery.
The party who was so suddenly bap-
lied, struck his antagonist fairly in
he face, but, Keeling from the force of
MS own blow he slid into the water,
'he rain which had just fallen proving
his most dangerous antagonist. On
emerging he was perfectly willing to
lrop the matter.
We would call the attention of our
leaders to the card of ]. II. Crowell 4
o., dealers in hides, skins, wool, furs,
'tc., los Jefferson street, near THE
iERALD office. We take pleasure in
recommending Mr.. Crowell, who is the .
