THE FRONTIER BATTALION.

The report of Major John b. Jones,
commander OF the frontier battalion OF
Texas State Troops, Is u creditable one
to that gentleman, and evidences that
he has performed the duties assigned
him with an unexampled bravery and
promptitude. As Governor Coke was
pleased to say ,of him in his Dallas
speech, che has lived like Salaman-
der in line of fire.
He has had in all, nineteen engage
ments with the Indians, in one fight
killing all but three, In another all but
two. He has pursued forty bands that
he was unable to overtake. He has
killed twenty-seven Indians and
wounded fourteen that he Is certain OF,
besides many more that he has reason
TO believe were killed or wounded. His
losses have been two men killed and
ak wuunded, with thirteen horses kill
ed and nine wounded. He has recov-
cred from the Indians one hundred
horses and two hundred head of
cattle, and from white thieves
from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars worth of cattle and horses ana
returned them to their proper owners.
He has rendered assistance to the civil
authorities IN maintaining law and
suppressing crime, having broken up
several organizations of outlaws and
fugitives from justice, In doing which
he was forced into nix fights. He has
arrested and turned over to the civil
authorities one hundred and ten fugi-
tives from justice, and above all re-
duced the expenses Of his command
from $500 to $1,000 per month per
company. In consequence of this very
effective defense of the frontier in the
last two years, eleven new counties
have been organized and settled by a
vigorous and industrious people, and Il
general feeling of peace and security
prevails. Major Jones deserves credit
and The HERALD accords It.

DALLAS. TEXAS.
n,,lA.AND DAL,.As COUNTY.

We have but TO drive out over the
rich and beautiful country surround
Ing Dallas, and o,strye the lovely
wide sweeping, gently undnatlng
grain fields, the rich warm acres
stretching away on NIL slues awaiting
the planting Of corn aud cotton, the
hew fences and farms, pastures aud or
chards, TO feel that tho business OF The
city Of Dallas Is well supported, ana II
far from being ovord0ne. Making me
most liberal allowance for the uncultl'
vatable land within It's borders, Dallas
county has 475,0O0 acres of fertile land
every acre OF which will produce
from twenty TO thirty bushels Of wheat
and from one-haf TO three.fourths Of
II bale of cotton. II Is only question
OF time to make this county one solid
farm, and In that event putting the
yield of wheat as low as twenty BUSH
els per acre we would harvest 9, 800, 600
bushels, and placing the yield OF cot
ton mt one-half u bale per acre, and this
Is a most moderate estimate, we have
1880 bales of cotton worth Sl4,-
100000.
Under improved culture every tllla'
BILE acre Of land In Dallas county can
be made TO average one bale of cotton
for each and every year, and not less
than thirty bushelsofiwheat When we
consider that Dallas Is surrounded by
counties nearly ~ rich as she II, and
filling rapidly with the most intelli-
gent and enterprising class of farmers,
and that all this fertile section IL trib'
utary to this city, must bring It's pro-
produce and buy its supplies here, W,
can well feel satisfied that we are moi
out growing the country, nor over
doing business. So absorbed are far
mers in their avocations, and 80 wei
does IL pay them, that we fear that
they fail to appreciate the vital neces'

only of wooden and cotton goods, but
of those agricultural implements
for the purchase OF which
they annually send out of the State
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
Farming is manilestly asuccess, but to
keep 1t 50 the building of manufncto
ries is imperiously demanded. We
have the wool from our western Goun
ties, yearly increasing in volume ant
rapidly assuming higher grades; We
have wealth Of hides for leather, AnC
unnumbered bales of cotton for the
loom, u portion at least of which
should be utilized ut home. Our reap
ers, threshers, cultivators, pl0ws, hnr
rows, etc, should be made at home
where the bois d arc, white oak ant
hickory is so plentiful. Until this b'
done we fail to possess the grandes
elements of permanent prosperity ant
consequent power.

THE title of 'Enpress of India' Is
far from being satisfactory TO the con-
servative and staid Briton. The
Thunderer of the 3lst instant, In an
editorial, expresses the hope that the
Ministry may yet be better advised
than to PERSIST in recommending to the
Queen the assumption of the title OF
Empress of India. 1t declares 1t has
been unfeignedly alarmed by the rapid
decline IN the authority and rcputa-
ton of the Government since the be-
ginning OF the session. II does not
pretend TO any special affection for the
ministry, but IL cannot help seeing
that opposition Is thoroughly disor-
gnnized-that the energies of its older
members are exhausted, while young
or men are chiefly remarkable for inn
maturity of mind which threatens
never to ripen, and an attempt to form
n government out of such materials
would threaten mischief to the coun-
try. Even those who think its fears
fnnciful and over.strained must hesi-
tate TO press this new title forward
when they understand il does in fact
provoke discomfort.

OLD RELICs-DALLAs COUNTY TO
THE FRONT.

This being the Centennial year Of
the Independence OF the United States,
IL IL fashionable, not TO say praisewor-
thy, TO bring forth all the ancient doe
uments possible. This feeling Ia pre-
dominant In the old Colonial States,
but no one expects new States like
Texas to put In my claims 10 the pos
session Of such ancient memenl0Gs Of
the olden times.
But AZ Dallas county stands forth IN
the front rank In 10 many OF the ha'
billments Of modern developments,
she Is encouraged, through her citizens
to spruce up little on the ancient line
also.
TO prove this, our honored and es'
teemed lellow.clti2ep, Colonel Is. NJ.
Bradford, has submitted to us for IN
spectlon the following muniments OF
title TO his ancestors In old Virginia.
We summarize rs follows;
Flrst--A deed signed by Thomas
Lee, M agent Of the right honorable
CatharIne Lady Fairfax, sole proprie
tor of the Northern Neck Of Virginia
to James Warren, to n certain tract o
land. The deed commences-"To al
to whom this writing shall come, greet
Ing In our Lord God Everlasting" an'
concludes -"Dated the twentieth day
of May, In the first year Of the reign o
our sovereign Lord George, Of Groa
Britain, ETC., King Defender, ETC. An
no Domini, l7l5."
Then came half n dozen deeds .
similar style, running from a. ID. l73
TO 1865, and afterwards several patent
dated IN 1888 and 1889 TO members o
the Bradford family, signed by led
mupd Randolph, the Governor OF Viz
ginia.
Some OF the papers are badly worn
but the patents from Governor Ran
dolph are perfectly preserved.
All the lands referred TO belonged I
the Bradford family in the county q
King William.
In this connection we may also mer
ton that there is in u family in Dalla
a genealogical table showing II direC
ancestry Of ten generations back to tn
year Il. ID. 1865 three hundred year
ago, or forty-twc years before the hrs
permanent English settlement i
America.

A woRKINaMENs' cooperative build
ing society would be the cheapest and
best means OF getting homes in the
city OF Dallas. Beyond this, the
stock of such an association, II It's af-
fairs were judiciously managed, would
speedily command premium and
would be better investment than de-
posting In savings banks. There is a
wide field here for the successful or
ganization Of such society, and we
feel persuaded II would rebound in
good results.

THERE is forty per cent more of
wheat planted in Dallas county than
was sowed last year, and the prospect
for heavy yield was never more flat
tering. The area in cotton has also
been considerably increased, and as
the farmers are blowing deeper and
better, u much larger yield of the sta
pie may also be anticipated. Farming
in Dallas county is certainly paying
business, and there is no good reason
why our Changers may not sport In s.
few years boast, the most plethoric oil
pocket books.
