TO the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
While the matter Of emigration to
Texas is fresh in my mind, / will sub
nit thought or two to the readers of
THE HERALD, thoughts suggested by
the remarks Of substantial men visit
ing our state. II is that our country is
not advertised abroad, Nearly every
man visiting my Office expresses HIM
self about this. Why don't your peo-
pie send lecturers north and east, and
talk up and write up your state? In
live years II population would pour
into your country that would cause
you to feel proud and huild you up
surprising any state in the union.
They say the disturbances in our
neighboring states are regarded AS gem
eral in the south, and all the northern
people want to know is that we have
a good, quiet government, and a true
statement of our excellent climate,
and the vast resources of our agricul-
tural and mineral wealth. These
things properly canvassed, north, will
result in great wealth to us.
Now, sir, | suggest that we employ
Just such man and put him in the
field and keep him there for one year.
The cost will be but u triie. Let the
people of Dallas send that man to pre-
sent the resources of north Texas,
taking with him a large map and
specimens of our minerals and nv
word for 1t it will pay Dallas one
thousand per cent in two years. have
asked the people of Dallas to aid me

uted to hundreds and thousands abroad

Church, SOnth.
10 the Editor OF tho DnlH Herald:
Az the request of the Ladies' Aid so.
riely ofthe Methodist Episcopal church,
south, we address "A few lines 10 the
readers o! your paper, hoping you viii
give us a small space In yonr columns
for that purpose. iinUag the past
year almost every church ~ Dallas
has givea AN entertainment OF some
kind, and expended the proceeds of
such for the benefit of their respective
denominations, while the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, has been the
exception TO this, Our church has felt
the want OF pecuniary aid; so, ut the
beginning of the present year, there
has been organized in the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, of our city, a
ladies' aid society, for the purpose of
relieving the needyaud suffering men,
bers of our church, and giving any
financial assistance within our power
to our church, aud this society is being
patronized and sustained by some of
the most influential ladies of our
church.
The ladies hope to accomplish much
good by our society, but, of course, we
can do but little without money, that
all-important appendage, cash, which
has been termed 1.-THE root of all evil"
but which our aid socicty-had we a
certain amount at our command would
rather compare to the olive branch, II
symbol of peace and returning pros
perity to all persons in distress.
Our aid society having been organ
lied 40 recently, We, 0fcoursc, have hut
u small amount Of money in our treas
ury; therefore, after some deliheration
and discussion among ourselves, we
have decided to give an entertainment
on the nights of the 18th aud 18th Of
This month at Fields theater. This
entertainment is to consist of an ele-
gnnt supper on Wednesday and thurs
day nights and n lunch at all hours
during the day ON the intervening
Thursday, to which we, ladies of the
Methodist Episcopal Aid society, do
cordially ana earnestly invite all who
wish us to succeed in our benevolent
enterprise.
We will eudeavor to make every
thing as agreeable and attractive as
possible at our entertainment; will
have our hall nicely decorated with
garlands and festoons of evergreen !;
will endeavor to have q band of musi-
clans, whose strains of music will
greet the ears of our guests while par
taking of the delicious viands which
we will provide Tor all those who will
visit us on that occasion. Our rates of
entrance to the entertainment will be
announced In due time, and we hope
all cur friends OF every denomination
will patronize our entertainment, and
thereby give US the pecuniary assist
ance we so much need in our beuevo-
lent enterprise.

About the Chnriiy Bali.

10 the Editur Vt the Dallas Herald:
Allow me to Insert II few lines in
your paper Ia regard TO the last charity
ball, The reporter of the paper was
probably 0.aware (when he said they
have all been enjoying themsclves)
that certain ladies have been grossly
mslIlled 10y certain other young ladies,
and they gave them to UNDERSTANDING
they were not good enough TO dance in
the same set where those young ladies'
were, The reason why they We're not
good enough is open for many sugges-
lions Was II because they were
foreigners? Was IL because they claim
different religion, or was it because
they were not dressed rs well? But of
one thing | can assure the public, they
We're perfect ladies.
Is ii really true, Mr.. Editor, that we
have certain class of PERSONS in our
city who think themselves above any
foreigner, and who would insult any
respectable but poor person whenever
they get Il chance?
If such people are allowed to consti-
tute the best society in this place, then
it is time for foreigners to shun any and
every ball which will hereafter be
given. But it is earnestly expected
that we have better class of people in
our city, n class who can respect the
feelings of respectable persons may
they be rich or poor.
