DALLAS C0UNTY, Feb u, 1851
Terrell is . booming and elegant young
city on the Texas s. Pacific, with fine ant
stately brick-rows, and many neat and cosy
and some tasteful and elegant family resi-
dences. There is more capital in Terrell
than is usual in Tcxrs cities of its size; pow
arty or the absence Of wealth, since the desc.
ls.ion of grim .visaged war, being general in
our southern land. The people are largely
independent and original in their opinions
and manner Ct life. Each one has tho idea
that his way plesses himself, aud that is the
turning point in the matter.
Having business at the postoflice we made
the acquaintance of Mr. O. |. Terrell, and
were forcibly impressed with his patient, po-
lite, and interchangeable attention to official
duty.
During our stay we also made the &C
quaintance Of Captain A. T.Wilaon, the
popular and efficient sheriff of kaufman
county. Whist we saw of him WAS in keep
ing with his reputation for msgnsnimity and
business efficiency. Over Kindly beating
heart there is stern and severe look, and at
times speech, too, clling to mind the pro.
verb, "Rebuka wise man, and he will love
| thee"
We enjoyed the pleasure of many courte-
sizes on tho part of the Terrell Star editors
for wishing to sec the news, and to be up
with the progress of the day, we, according
to custom, visited their sanotum. They are
working men, and their "Star" has grown and
frightened "muchly" ia the Inst few years.
The Terrell Times also is fine Aourishing
journal, highly creditablo to the city, with
generous friendslamong the principal citizens.
Having known the Star for many years,
brings up another proverb: Chine own
friend and thy fathers friend, forslka not. -
Both these journals have the good sense TO
give gem-like occasional notices of tho Dial.

A COuDtrymnn's Impressions of
DaIlas.

Correspondence OF the Herald
MESQUITE, Feb. 10, 1881
AT the first there is strange impression
of surprise al the Dimensions, proportions
and actual magniaoence of the city, with its
business activity and energy; its fine and
abundant markets, thronged and crowded
thoroughiares; its dry goods and grocery
stores upon truly metropolitan scale, and
the smiling urbsnity of lis business men;
while free from sycophanoy oil lead csptive
tho stranger from the country or interior viii
lHge, and ct once fill his vision with the view
of great city in the futuTe--tho pride, not
only Of North Texas, but Of tho American
union.
Tho zeal and ability of the Dallas HER.
AID aud the genial courtesy of its editors ar
rest attention, and awaken pleasant reminis-
cencos after his return to his rural home.
It has been our good fortune to form the
acqu intance Of some of the noble
county officials, as Judge Burke, Of the coun.
ty court the county treasurer, etc. 1t is a
pleasure TO have dealings with men of their
stamp, A fact which should be mentioned
to the honor of Judge Burke is, that when a
teacher brings a tirs.-class certificate still in
force in another county, the Judge simply
endorses it, so rs to give it vitality in Dallas
county, without cost to the teacher. He is
among the generous few, not grabbing at th6
little income Of the poor teacher, nor dealing
in criticism or wiiticism at the expense of our
merltorious educators Of youth.
To be brief, the sense of isolation, or of
lonely and friendless desolation, soon wears
off in the genial atmosphere of Dallas, with
its big heart and cosmopolitan character. V.
