We do not believe the people of the south
have sufficient cause to apprehend much
suffering growing out of the possible pants
on Wall street, New York so long rs such
large sums are being expended in the south
by Gould, Huntington and other railroad
kings. AT all events the people of Texas
need not, a this time, suffer in the appre-
tension of suffering from an apprehended
crash IN the north.-l Denton Monitor.
Mr.. Carnes informs us that he has run a
tunnel iorty-fve feet into the hill at his
coal mine, N the northern part of the coun-
ty. The tunnel follows the vein of coal and
slate, and the quality and quantity of coal
improves rs they 20 in. The tunnel will be
pushed one hundred feet further into the
hill. Mr.. Carnes says his prospects for good
coal in paying quantities is very tlattering
and he feels confident of success. Several
expert miners and scientific men have ex-
amined the lead and one and all agree that

The president, Mr., Hal. Gosling, of the
Texas Press Association has called the con-
yenton to meet at Houston on the 18th of
next month. After the business of the con-
yention is over arrangements have been
perfected for an excursion to San Francisco
California, a special train having been
cursion is to be composed of q lot of
country newspaper men, includ-
ing about fifty or sixty patent outsiders
or "insidors, we would most respectfully
suggest that the purposed excursion be
postponed Indefinitely. Unless the leading
newspaper men in Texas take an interest in
the association it would be far better to re-
main at home. We believe it to be the
duty of the leading journals Of Texas to
either Join the association or ask that it be
abolished Eillsboro Mirror.
The purchase of over 100000 of state
bonds by Treasurer Lubbock at $l.40 has
caused considerable comment in business
circles. The state has, or had, $1,000, 900 in
than the property of the people, and the
amount could be proportionaby distributed
among the taxpayers without any injustice
being DONE Now, if the people had
this money in their hands, with
the privilege of investing it
at per cent. a month"; or using it in some
proportonably useful manner, would it
ever occur to them that they might take up
asecurity due twenty years hence by pay
ing $40 on 81? They could turn over the
money so as to make it yield much more
than 7.per cent. But yet the state insists
on defrauding tie people of tins right of
superior economy and of squandering the
difference between per cent and the max
imum.-[ Houston Post.
Colonel Goree, superintendent Of
penitentiary, Major Larmour, architect and
Mr., Darling. of st. Louis, were in town on
last Saturday. They came to examine the
prison grounds with view TO n speedy
erection OF a blasting furnace, Mr.. Darling
is a man OF large experience in the iron bus
mess, and makes speciality of erecting fur
naces. The capacity of the fur
mace is estimated at twenty-five tons
0fpig-ron per day, and he thinks there
is surface ore enough in close prox.
unity to the building to supply a furnace OF
this capacity for twelve years. He coin.
cdes with MIR. Kelly in his opinion of the
quality of the ore, ii being superior to the
ore now being used in many places. If the
nearer deposits OF ore be sufficient for this
length of time the vast amounts to
be found within radius Of six to eight
miles, together with the ore, on and neaI
the line of the Kansas q Gulf Short Line
railway, for II distance of twenty miles OF
more, give assurance of practically mex.
