be filled at the April election are
springing up on all sides, with plenty

Ervay, esq a gentleman who has
heretofore filed most acceptably the
Office OF Mayor, and would doubtless
make as strong a race for that office as
any Richmond that may contest the

a distinguished legislator, and an ole
citizen of Dallas, would make n recor
or that would be credit to the city
that acc0rds him that position. The
duties are light and need not interfere
with the time to be devoted TO journal
ism. Captain Oldham or Mnjor Burke
both well-known attorneys In Thu
city, would also make most capabl,
recorders. April is not here yet, ant
ample time IL left for active cleo
tioneerers.
