"Dcdr Ptpn-I can only drop you n

The publisher of THE HERALD re-
turns thanks to Mr. J. n. Russell, of
the Dallas broom factory, for house
broom and whisk, made at his factory.
These are not fancily trimmed of as
were those which were sent to the
state fair and took the premium, and
were subsequently, presented to Hon.
Jefferson Davis at this place, but are
the ordinary broom made for common
use. They are the most substantial
made article of the kind we have ever
seen, and the Dallas broom factory
should receive abundance of patronage.
AS compared with the ilimsy imported
brooms, made TO sell, and seen in all
our stores, Mr.. Russell's brooms are far
SUPERIOR in make, i'm finish and in
durability.

Obenchain, a nephew of Colonel A. T..
Obenchain, recently elected alderman,
had been shot and dangerously
wounded by a young man calling him
self John Stone. As may be remem-

Stone was recently involved in an

young man named Brewer.
The particulars of the shooting Of
young Obenchain are given as follows,
by an eye witness:

The following paragraph is clipped
from the Paris Press. It's unnecessary
to say that every fair-minded man,
who has ever visited Dallas, will cheer
fully corroborate what the Press says:
We do admire the public spirit, pluck
and lberality of the Dallasites. -Four
years ago Dallas wds village inferior
to Paris in population and wealth, but
to-day it is the most prosperous city in
the state, Galveston and Houston not
excepted. Dallas possesses that ele--
ment in her population that would
build up town on barren rock were
they to attempt it. Enterprise and city
pride on the part of her citizens is
what has made Dallas, in few years,
the most prominent city in Texas.

TIE HERALD's reporter evidently
got his notes slightly mixed, on the
occasion of the recent reception to
Hon. Jefferson Davis, and transferred
portion of the remarks of Colonel
Frank b. Sexton, of Marshall, TO Gov
ernor James w. Throckmorton. 1t
was Colonel Sexton who made the
happy allusion to Mr.. Davis connec-
ton with the Texas and Pacific railway,
and in order to "render. unto Caesar"
that which belongs to him this expla-
nation is cheermIly given.
