MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
A Parker County Contractor Is Lost 10
tho Sight Of Anxious Friends.

A man named j. j., Davis, of our
nelghb0rlng town Of WoalhcrlOrd,
Parker county, mystorlously disap-
peOred Thursday evening since which
time dllIgent search has failed to dis
cover any clew to his whereabouts,
Davis " n carpenter and contractor,
and short time since was awarded II
contract to build new court house In
the town Of Wentherlord, and filed n
bond, signed by some Of the leading
citizens of the county, for the faithful
compliance of his contract. On Mon
day last In company with two or three
friends, each driving II wagon, he left
Weatherl0rd, and arrived In this city
Wednesday evening, for the purpose of
purchasing lumber and other necessa-
ries for the erection of the court house.
Davis had with him draft on the
City bank for twelve hundred dollars,
the amount being advanced to him by
citizens on his contract. The party
stopped ut the Pacific wagon yard, and
during Thursday scattered over the
city to make their purchases and see
the sights. Davis rejoined his friends
IN the evening, and at about 7 o'clock
excused himself, saying that he had
accepted an invitation from Mr.. Me-
Gown to take supper and remain over
uight with him. Not appearing yes
lerday morning, his friends visited Mr.
McCown, who informed them that
Davis had called the evening previous
and excused himself from his engage
ment, saying that he had unexpectedly |
met his brother. Further inquiry
showed that he had not neglected to
visit the City bank and draw the
twelve hundred dollars, and still fur
her inquiry showed that he left no
race behind by which his course of
light might be detected. He leaves
wife, most estimable lady, in Wealth
'rford, who is doubtless ignorant of his
'ascality.

How Like You the Picture (,

"A very well executed crayon portrait

Wood was asleep In his bed, when the

To the Editor OF tho Dallas Herald
History teaches us that in all ages of

and swindled by class of men, or
rather, personages who wear the hui

qualities that have the force of recon-
mendation to the honest majority.

questionable deeds, in order to advance
their pecuniary interests. Many of the
workings of these people bear the i'm
press of honesty among those " no are

lations. In all our principal cities the
name OF this class is LEGION" and
they ply their avocations with an in
dustry and perseverance worthy of a

be the contumeiy and abuse heaped
upon them for their shortcomings by
others out of their pale, they pass the
same by without heed or notice. These
people go by the name of STRIKERS
and our city at present has Igoodly
proportion of those keen and appre-
ciative gentlemen, and their walk
and talk is generally recognized
at once by those who have
been made to bleed through

acting business. They do paying

FOSTERS TEXAS DRAWING.
A Farm 10 Every Ticket Holder II The
Drawing Fails 10 Take Place June 30,

The unlimited confidence and liberal
patronage bestowed ON the Texas Real
Estate and Gold Distribution, of which
| am the manager, is subject of gene
raj remark. The postolllcc records of
this city show that we have received
twenty-five times rs many postolice
orders and registered letters with
money than n similar enterprise of
this city OF larger prctensions. The
management take great pleasure in ne
knowledging their gratitude to the
public, with the assurance that the
drawing will positively take place on
the 3Oth of June, 1875. Our October
drawing took place with but one post
ponement, and so would this, but for
circumstances (see advertisements and
circulars) utterly unavoidable. Our
success Is such that we can safely
promise to refund every cent of money
and present every ticket holder with a
Texas farm, If the drawing does not
take place on the 30th of June, 1875.
We also offer plan (see advertise
ment) whereby those buy ing tickets
can keep their money in u home bank
till the drawing takes place.
