Thomas sheppard,

Thomas sheppard, for many years
m attnche Of THE HERALD, died yes
lerday morning at one o'clock, OF con-
sumption, IN the thirty-hrst year Of
his nge,
IIe had been pllllcted with pulmOna-
ny disease for the pnst two yrNrs or
more, but he performed his duties In
the office untl nb1ut tho first Of last
October, since when he has been con-
liued 10 hIs he'd The greater portion Of
the timc. He had suffered much, but
bore II with the true forIitude Of II
Christian aud believer In glorious
hereafter,
The deceased was native OF llar-
demNn county, Tennessee, but with
his father James Sheppard, ESD, Inn
migrated to Texas Ia 1868, settling In
Dallas county. AT The early age Of
sixteen he was mustered into the SER
vice of the Confederate cause, enlist
Ing IN Captain W, w, Peaks company
az, Colonel Hawpe's regiment Of Tex
NJ cavalry, on the 18th day Of March,
1862 lie remained with his regiment
until May, 1868, when he was honor
ably mustered out, having remained
true 10 his colors until the last.
The remains, followed 10y large

ing Dallas Typographical Union In II
body, were taken TO the Christian

livered an eloquent and impressive
sermon, after which the funeral pro.
cessiol took up it, line OF march to the

poor Tom sheppard was lowered to its
final resting place in the narrow bed OF
clay, u feeling of sadness and regret
perVaded those who knew him best,
for the earth closed over n true com.
rade, gallant soldier and devoted
friend. May he rest In peace.

An amusing incident happened yes

horse TO ride across the river, ordered
the porter 10 81 TO the stable for him,
and TO hitch him In the rear OF the
building when he returned. A few
minutes afterward, Mr., Is, stepped tn
where he had ordered the porter to
hitch the horse, aud, as he expected,

proved useless, and II recourse was had
TO the Sherllf's office, to see II that

with three or four deputies, visited the
place from where the horse was taken,
but nothing satisfactory was obtained

chase, and the trio set out to catch the

The Austin Statesman was among
the first journals of the State to give
publicity to the unfounded rumor re.
garding smallpox in our city, but, like
the high toned, honorable journalist
he is, Colonel DuPre promptly cor
reefs the error, though in doing so, he
writes down words possibly as caustic
and bitter as pen can indite. The fol-
lowing is the Statesman's amende:
We were misled by Corsicana or
crockett exchange. There Is no epi-
uemic smallpox In Dallas, and the
disease was not ditiused, as this ex-
change stated, by the Dallas Carnival.

DALLAS.
Her Material Progress la tE" Past and
Assured Prosperity Ia the Ruture.

There are old fogies and croakers in
our midst, as in every other city. Men
are frequently met who are predicting
this and that evil to the future of
Dallas; they can see nothing beyond
the end Of their nose, and having moth
ing to invest, desire to deter those from
investing who have something. To
prove their ignorance and belle their
assertions almost ere they are made,
one has but to glance at the substantial
progress of our city for the past four
years, and the many enterprises and
improvements now under way.
In addition to the capacious elevator
aud improved cotton compress now In
course of construction; the contem-
plated mammoth steam ilonring
mill at the foot of Main street; the
magnificent three-story stone front
business houses; the costly and mag
nilicent church ediflces in addition
to all these, we say, one can scarcely
turn without observing handsome resi-
dences, from the cosy cottage of the
laboring man to the. palatial mansion
of the opulent banker and capitalist
Everywhere they spring up to meet
the gaze of the passer-by, monuments,
as 1t were, of the prosperity, energy
and progressiveness of the giant young
city, whose growth for the past four
years has been more than magical.
Taking the two past months rs critic
rion, it is no exaggeration to say that,
with all her progress in the past, the
year 1876 will be marked with more
substantial improvements than any
year In the existence of Dallas.
In addition to these immediate home
improvements, there are other enter
prises of equally great Importance to
be remembered, and which will add so
materially to our prosperity-the Dali
las and Wichita railway and the Dali
las and Cleburne railway, both essen
TALLY home enterprises. On the for
mer, work is progressing most satisfac-
torily, and it will be but short time,
aided by the progressive and liberal
citizens of johnson county, before
work will be commenced on the latter,
and when once commenced, it will be
pushed forward to rapid completion.

ruin, refused to fulfil his promise of
marriage. A few days since she sud
