THE
HERALD
FOR
/ 8 8 1 !!
The Great and Leading
Journal Of Texas.

Another cycle of twelve months has rolled
around and we present again our annual
claims 10 the public for a contnuanceof the
generous and increasing patronage hereto
fore extended to the HERALD.
The last year has been one fraught with
deep interest to Texas, Snd more particu-
larly to the northern portion of the state.
New lines of railroads have been projected
and now undor construction, while the older
companies have been extending their mains
and pushing branches in every direc-
tion. immigration has been pouring in
from nearly every state in the union and
the deraely populated countries of Europe.
These immigrants, MS Il class, are far superior
in Intelligence aud enterprise to those usu-
ally falling to the lot of now countries As
general thing they possess means sufficient
to erect comfortable dwellings, improve
farms, and 10 this way add to our general
prosperity. 10 the face of these facts the
management Of the HERALD has endeayored
to keep pace with the advancement of the
state, and the paper has been enlarged from
lwon'y-four columns a few months sgo TO d
for'y-cisFt column journal, and is now the
Largest Daily In Texas.
With correspondents ia all the principal
CITIES aud towns in tho state, and in the
great metropolitan cities Of the country. Il
is the only paper in north Texas giving

and stands unexcelled in Texas for the full
ness and correctness of It's reports both at
home and abroad. Tho HERALD in the FL.
tlre will occupy the same high conservative
ground which has always characterized i,
under its present management, showing
isvors to none, nor failing to point out errors
or endeavoring to eradicate them even in
tho most exalted positions, state or national.
The HERALD in politics is IN independent
journal, progressive in its ideas, and advocat.
ing those true, sound democratic pri7ciples
and measures that should alone prevail in a
true democratic country, and to those who
may differ from it in its views and ideas, and
In the discussion of great measures and
principles which may present themselves to
the public, it will be courteous, and treat
with consideration the dissenting opinions Of
It's opponents, but in cool and deliberate
manner will battle for what it deems RIGHT
and for the great good Of Texas and the
country at large.
The HERALD now occupies the high posi.
ton of being the representative and
Leading Paper of Texas
AND soaring above any petty jealousies or
rivslries, it will lend its influence to any
measure that will bonoa. any town, CITY or
section in our great and growing common
wealth.
The management promise that their efforts
snail not be relaxed in adding to the interest
and usefulness Of the HERALD, and that each
month there shall be some improvement to
be seen over the preceding one.
Thc Weekly Herald
Is published every Thursday, and is filed
with the most interesting aud useful articles
which appear from day to day in the daily
HERALD and therefore is generally esteemed
'as most valuable journal in the state to
those living of the line of railroads and No,
having daily postal communications with Tho
r''t of the world. In view of these facts !, :,
confidently hoped that its patronage vii, in
crease commensurate with its worth.

EDITOR RECORD: After long delay, l
will drop you few lines from jackson
township. Health is tolerably good, for
the time of year. John P. Yates family
have nearly all been down sick. He had
the misfortune to lose his wife on Saturday,
the sixth inst. She was good, pious and
affectionate woman, and will be greatly
missed, not only by the family, but by all
who had the good fortune of her acquain
tance.
Bro. F. R. Noe, circuit preacher in
charge of Ash Flat circuit, closed very
successful meeting in this neighborhood
Oh the 5fd inst. Only one conversion, but
the church was greatly revived, and great
good was accomplished generally, many
being able to testify that it was good to be
there. Ewing Hall is teaching a five
months free school in this neighborhood,
Has a fourishing school of fifty students
All are we'll pleased with the school,
Prof. j. W. Mclean, of Ash Flat is teach
ing singing school in our midst. Has
thirty scholars. He teaches ten days, and
gives general satisfaction, which is moth
ing more than he is capable of DOING He
is the best singer we have ever heard.
Any neighborhood wanting music teach
er would do well to get him.
We suffer for rain. Crops will be very
short. Corn will not average more than
a half crop. Probably cotton will make
two thirds of a crop. think the farmers
in this section will SOW good deal of
wheat this fall. We have good wheat land,
and I think it will pay US better to raise
wheat than to starve ourselves raising cot
ton.
My item of news is getting rather
lengthy. If you think it worth publish
ing, will try to give you the news of this
neighborhood occasionally, if nobody
else will. Local items are the life of a
county paper. l would not do without
your paper for three times its cost.
Respectfully, GRANGER.
