The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1876-10-08

The DALLAS HERALD is now one of our
best exchanges. We devoted most of
our time last Sabbath to pcrusing the
columns of that able and we'll edited
paper Dallas should be proud of TuE
HERALD-and we wish her all the sue.
cess imaginable, = WIS Point Observer.
Thanks, Our earnest endcavors have
been, and are still, directed to the build
ing up of paper of which all North
Texas may well be proud In its twenty
seven years OF labor for Texas, TIM
HERALD feels persuaded that it has been
largely instrumental in introducing into
this State at least twenty-five thousand
people, Could we publish the letters
we receive from every State in the
Union, and from Europe, and our an,
swers, written or printed, inviting i'm
migrants to make their homes among
us, the issues of the London Times itself
would scarcely be adequate to the task
of printing them.
