The Evil Fruits of weak Digestion

There Is no pathological fact more clearly

Its train of Cireful consequences, proceeds
more frequently from weakness OF the stom-

soon cease to palliate its symptoms. The

DALLAS AND GnAYsoN.

The Register Is inclined to challenge
the claim, OF. Dallas as the, banner
Democratic county of Northern Texas,
and intimates that Grayson is entitled
to that honor nv MA. s.El58-
1t IL true that Ave years ago Dallas
footed up, according to the census, on
ly s,4lS people, while Grayson'p pop
ulation was 1887. But the Register
must remember that since 1870 two
great railway lines have crossed at
Dallas, aud have been since their ar
rival here--and are now--pouring into
this city immigrants by thousands.
Daily aud nightly Is the city crowded
with mass OF moving humanity
from all parts Of the world, seeking
homes In Dallas and the surrounding
counties. So great has been the impe-
tus given this city alOne--not taking
into consideration the county Of Dal-
las--that its population now foots up
$4,000 people, more than that OF the
entire county In 1870, while the lowest
estimate places the population of Dali
las county at $4,000 people. For the
Registers information we give accu-
rately the vote Of the respective coun-
ties for Coke:
Grayson county Coke, l77oi Davis,
1876. Total, 2266. 84 @H## A
Dallas county-Coke, 1892; Davis

Coke over Dallas.
Dallas did not, cast an exhaustive
vote by any means for Coke, for, the

Registcr must admit, however, that
the vote of Dallas then, will not be the
vote Of Dallas to-day, by many thous-
sands, and that with our superior
facilities we must perforce have out
stripped our prosperous neighbor in
the race for population. We, there

larger vote than Grayson at the next
election, and as an evidence Of our
