as any ever imported from abroad, and they,
he says, are sample of his entire crop.
Attention is directed TO communication
in this mornings issue, in the matter Of our

than will be made by the enumerators, is
good and deserves to be considered.

zens' finance committee, informed Il HERALD
reporter yesterday that the committee was
getting along finely collecting funds Tor the

pie, who are now beginning to understand the
matter, will contribute literally. The COM
mittee meets at Mr.. Gibbs office, Monday, ut

Attention is called to the notice of the
census enumerators, notifying that they will
be at the court house on the 2Sth and the
Goth insts., for the purpose Of rectifying
their rolls, placing on names heretofore
omitted, or correcting any errors. Now, let
it be the imperative duty Of every we'll

his name is registered. Let US have an ex-
hibit of rs large population rs we are en-
titled to. Too many privileges and benefits are

apiece, all contributions to the fund to be
sent to Adams Il Leonard. bankers, Dallas,

Texas, subject to the draft of the executive
committee of the state. In nv humble
Judgment it will add many thousand votes
to the ticket in those states and attract the
attention of the people of those great states
more than ever to Texas. Our public men
have but little means, but equal those of any
other state in talent. They hsvn't the AS

office holders to back them up, so let us be
liberal in contributing to the greatest strug.

If the press and members of the county
