The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1881-09-01
Errata and Addenda,

In an edition the size of this one, .rl got
ten up with the haste that has necessarily
attended its issue, it would be almost n mir
acle to escape mistakes and we Congratu-
late ourselves that in this respect we have
been so fortunate as TO have made so few cr-
rors These have been errors Of commits
sion and omission, and under the above
heading we propose to correct the most clar-
Ing of the former and to supply the most
important of the latter In our description
OF counties, We make Jefferson and Mar
shall appear in Marion county, when in
fact only jefferson is in Marion,
while Marshall is the county site Of Har.
rison county. The advertisement of r.
Coin, of Dallas, was by mistake put
among the Galveston advertisements,
making II appear that he was doing bust
ness in that city instead ofhcre. Inanother
place whore the name of A. j. Smope oc-
ours II should be A. J, Soap, and on t'c 3rd
page in the advertisement of - sect; ms of
land for sale 1t should be by Y. w. Anbey
instead of byT W. Aney as il reads In
our review of the business done nv Dallas
during the past year we were made ~ sew
we sold / 800 900 tons of bran when it should
have been 10000 bushels. In our re-
marks as to the Importance of Dallas and
its claims as n city and its advantages gem
orally, we omitted to say that we
had Board of Trade composed of
the principal merchants of The city,
which board in an able and
most satisfactory way performs all the func-
lions usually incumbent upon such an or
ganization. We have an opera house, not
such an one as to size architectural arrange
ment and general fitness II is true, rs q city
made to answer the purpose and every
dramatic season our city Is visited by the
very best companies that travel throughout
tho country. For the season soon to open
forty companies are booked for this city,
with Others making dates, none giving
less than two performances and from
that up to four, These companies are
not only the very best that will DO
on the road, but they embrace all
tho lincs-opera, opera boullo, tragedy,
comedy, melodrama, variety, negro min
strcls etc, etc, and all the stars who arc
making tours of the cities will visit us. In
addition, we will have the most popular Of
the lecturers, so that in so far as amuse.
ments and entertainments for citizens and
the stranger within our gates are concerned,
our city will be in the van, In the matter
OF civic organizations the city has all OF the
customary orders nywhere-Masons, Bule
lodge, Chapter and Knights Tcmplar Odd
Follows lodges and encampments; Knights
ofPythins knights ofHonor; Legion Dillon
or United Worklngmen; temperance or.
dors, etc, etc, and several lodges OF
each. The city has good, improved
streets, excellent sidewalks its sanitary
arrangements are good; II has city hospi:
tai where the indigont sick are cared for and
In public conveyancos, for tho accommoda-
ton OF those In need, either for business or
pleasure Il has no lack, There are pretty
parks In the city with ornate and tasty
grounds, and there Is no need, even for the
yeriest stranger to be onnuyed for mo-
ment. Livingis as cheap here on the whole
as in any city in the. state and our markets
are always filed with choicest fresh meats,
splendid vegetables and all the fruits IN
season and many of them out Of season.
