The Waco Telephone feels genuine
rnpsthy for Mrs. Garfield, as the following
snshow:
The Houston Post of yesterday morning
p,ip,s wnat is said TO BIZ picture OF Mrs.
fairfield wife OF the president. Poor lady,
h seems her troubles are not near over.
The Post short time since also published
alleged likeness cuts of Guitesu and secretary

.,,ice to the governor:

The Greenville Independent, in an article
upipp that effort be made 10 secure the
t,de Of the surrounding country for Green

Among other inducements all the public

This advice is just as appropriate for
Dallas as tor Greenville. With good country
roads, free bridge over the Trinity ard
good bridges on all other streams in the
county, the trade of this city would be very
materially increased.
The Terrell Star deprecates the practice
too much in vogue every where, of carrying
concealed weapons, and thinks strenuc US
efforts should be made to stop it. 1t says:
The ease and freedom with which pistols
and other deadly weapons may be purchased
and carried 10 Am4rlc+, should receive the
Attention of the authorities. Tho right TO
bar arms isa part Of the cltiz an's privileges.
