Our Fourth of July celebration is begin
ming to loom up with considerable magnih-
cence. At the meeting Of our citizens some
days ago, Major VIM. Levy was appointed
President and Messrs. Crooks and Peters
Nice-Presdents of committee of thirty
leading citizens, who were to be chosen by
them. Yesterday these gentlemen met and
selected the committee, and to-day call Is
issued for the meeting of the committee on
Monday evening at o'clock With Major
Levy at the head and as much enthusiasm ms
was manifested among all our citizens, there
Can be but little doubt but that our coming
celebration will be Il time long to be Iemem-
bered by all who are fortunate enoughto par
ticipate in it.-A most elegant and eniOya-
BILE affair was tee hop at the Binkly house, in
which our society people participated, last
night. 1t was given i'll compliment 10 Miss
Orowdus, charming young lady from
Dallas, who has beea visiting
Sherman friends for some time About
twenty couples from our best society were in
attendance and nothing occurred to mar tue
pleasure of the occasion. The night was
beautiful, the music fine, and the supper
(served by Cohh) WAS superb.-The Myers

houses of our city.--Jinks is back. He is
oil here, and that most unanimously. When
we saw him coming up in the distance this
morning, we were in doubt as to whether he
was bogus angel or pelican arrayed in az
empty bed-tck but glance at the old
time pedal extremities assured us that our
friend had snatched himself away from the
designations and allurements Of the'Houston
Volks-fest and was with US once again.
Times are better with him. a new
hat rests jauntly upon his mas
sive brow and holds it down.
A new pair of lavender trousers
drspe his shapely limbs, and the most
gigantic sort of an ulster envelopes his viii
Lowry form and sweeps the street. There is
more gorgeousness about Jinks to-day than
ever aud more wealth, too, for we actually
caught him trying to buy cheap pony. 1t
is his intention to stump the county i'll the
interest of the Chronicle. de is going to use
the pockets OF his duster as vaiise and
medicine chest, the collar as Il handkerchief,
while the skirts he proposes to fold up un-
der the saddle MS blanket as well rs to hold
him on. What he is going to do with the
rest of it is more than we can divine. Seri-
ously, though, we are glad to see him back.
