10 the Editor of The Dallas Herald:
DEAR SIR-Messrs. Cree and Hall,
the EvangeIists who are travelling In
the interests Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, viii be IN DIAL
last about the LIST of April. They are
meeting with marked success among
the churches Of all our Southern cities
where they are visiting, and IL be-
hooves us in Dallas to extend to them
hearty welcome. They are men of
marked ability, and are especially
earnest and devoted Christians, whose
labors have been blessed wherever
they have gone. Surely no Christian
can view their near approach without
an earnest hope that they will cause
our Dallas churches to rouse them
selves to their proper work. Our
churches are langnishing, our Young
Mems Christian Association ~ almost
lifeless for want of means to carry out
its plans for the redemption of the
young men of this city; and unless
some powerful and spiritual influence
be brought to bear on us, Dallas will
continue to be what II is nova city
whose God is the almighty dollar, and
which has no time or money or dev0-
ton for any other object. Dallas may
have money and railroads and trade,
and mighty material prosperity, and
yet be goddess, wicked and debased
city. Shall ii be so? Unless our Chris
tian people, whether members of
churches or not, unite to stay the flood
vice and help to support all and every
means of good influence, we shall
surely come to moral and spiritual
grave, and our young men will con-
tinue to crowd our saloons and brothels
and gam bling dens, where they lose
all the sweetness and purity Of youth,
and become the debauched ald loath-
some old young men we meet at every
corner. What do our mothers aud
sisters and daughters say to this pros
pect? Is 1t from this crowd they eX-
pect family honor and peace and puri-
ty to issue! Let US all join hand-in-
hand to stein this torrent of sin. Give.
freely to the support of our Young
Men'sj Christian Association, which
wishes to fit up suitable hall. Give
a rousing welcome to the noble men
who have left distant homesto come
to our rescue, and let il be said OF our
young city, that it is rs emulous of
every virtue as it ia of becoming the
future great city of our great State. I

The farmers of Clay county have
written to Governor Throckmorton
and secured tobacco seed for u trial
crop in that county. We feel quite
sangulne that the happiest results will
flow from their efforts, and that
North Texas will be practically dem

growing in Importance, and the COLI

Kentucky is, or was few years ago,
