The HERALD has at great expense
printed u sixteen column supplement
for distribution all over the world.
That supplement contains the fullest
and most accurate description Of the
soil, climate, productions and advan-
tages of Texas and especially OF Dallas
county. The brain work, as well rs
the physical labor expended upon
these matters are not furnished gratis
to The HERALD, nor do we have our
paper, ink, machinery and types be-
slowed upon us as u free offering, and
consequently when friend steps In
and asks us to put down the price OF
three papers and accompanying sup
plements to one dime, we scarce
ly know whether to smile at
him, or to become indignant at his
non-appreciation of the work that we
are doing for this country. We put
these very interesting supplements
and the accompanying papers almost
at actual cost, and if parties are una
BILE to pay the infintesimal sum we ask
for them, we will evince our further
liberality by sending free Of charge
to any party who may be una
BILE to pay for them, as many supple
ments as he may choose TO receive at
our hands. AS for The HERALD, 1t IL
determined that this country, and Its
matchless advantages, shall be known
in all lands. -l .Hn

CUTLER, of the Dallas Commercial,
has been badly taken in. For years
past during his career AS, n newspaper
man, he has never known what it was
to want for u free pass over the rail
roads, but the Centennial year is now
well advanced, and as yet he has been
unable to procure free pass TO Phila-
delphia. In the melancholy and crav-
ing state Of mind brought about by
this unfortunate and unprecedented
state of affairs, he came across notice
in the Kansas City Times, which made
him wild with happiness. The follow
ing from the New York Sun, explains
everything. The strangest feature OF
the whole thing is that Cutler once
lived in Kansas and got away from
there without being devoured by grass
hoppers.
The Sherman Register then proceeds
to quote the article from the New York
SIN which we have already published,
in which Dana informs Cutler that he
is not running the dead head depart.

The fact that various parties in Dali

thousand special copies of the 'little

article in question is highly appre-

to the extent of $4,000 copies, and are
yet working off more. We have de-
