Correspondence OF the Herald
SHERMAN, TEXAS, June |, lSS2.-A few
weeks ago w. ii. Landlord, our present
very efficient district clerk, was presented
with lengthy petition asking him to sub
NIT his name to the people of Grayson for
reelection. TO this Mr.. Landlord contrary
to all latter-day political habits, replied
gracefully that, as he had held the office for
several terms, il was due 10 other compe-
tent aspirants in The county that he retire,
and refused to submit his name. II seems,
however, the people are of opinion that
when so important an office Is so well filled
they do not desire change, and now they
are gong to overwhelm him with petitions
asking him to recall his refusal and submit
his name, which he will probably be COM
PEELED to do. This is certainly an instance
of the Office hunting tho man.
Some slightly TOO previous" correspon-
dent of the Denison Herald-News has put
In circulation the gossip that Judge
Bledsoe is to retire from the
district bench on account OF i'll
health, and assume the presidency OF
the Merchants and Planters bank of this
city, one of the solid institutions of Texas.
That there are strong reasons for believing
that the Judge will retire from the bench,
and that the young and brilliant legal gen.
tleman ii. o. Head will probably be his
successor, is not to bo denied; but the cor
respondent is "oil'' on the NJ. and I. bank
presidency. These are some well grounded
rumors ahoat however, that Judge Bledsoe
will succeed Mr.. J. Ii. Fairchild as presi.
dent of the City bank of Sherman during
September next.
Our market is fairly glutted with fruit.
Such peach crop has never before been
seen In hiscountry. Express companies are
doing lively business in the shipment OF
fruit and vegetables, north and west. Our
fruit men are shipping as far west rs III
Paso, and we notice shipments to Kansas
City, st. Louis, Chicago, Dubuque, Omaha,
Louisville, Cincinnati and many other
points north. North Texas, and especially
Sherman and Dcnison, will be well adver-
tised for most excellent fruit-producing
qualities this year.
District court has adjourned until Sep.
TENDER next.
Collectors assert that collections are
