Tcrrell. November s.--There were
,yalvn wagons in the city this morn
Inc with forty-five bales OF cotton from
within eight miles of Dallas city,
which sold at 9l5. Farmers every
where within reach approaching fair
denlinq have learned that Terreifs
businesa men know precisely how
10 treat their customers, They nave
not put forth liberality ana taiiy
tn secure n name and then fleeced their
customers by going for all that was III
sight. They understand business
principles and have established sys-
tenn of fair-dealing which has adVer-
tised the city far and near, ana now
those who are drawn mere py inns
character already established declare
that 1.-THE half has not been tod ana
the next season will bring them pacK
again.
The reporter noticed sometime ago
several of Terrell's youthful business
men wearing new fine hats OF the
most improved fall style, and one OF
them was proud to realize the fact
chat he was the owner Of a very fine
overcoat that was designed
IN nrotect him from the
chilly blasts of winters wind.
All ut once these fine hats and the line
overcoat disappeared and one oi the
owners could not fail TO exhibit red
eve. Being on the alert for items, we
''caught on" this morning. Monday
night the young men, who by the way
ali move an the highest plane in So
ciety, attended a party in n neighbour
ing village and nil made the trip on
horseback. During their stay, their
horses were all cut loose, ana by some
means or other the fine hats and
overcoats Were spirited away. Some
found their animals, especially the one
that rode the big" old mare. He had
to make Il pair of bride reins Of n bor
rowed handkerchief. Some did not
get back till next morning how is not
known, but one fellow declares that
he saw couple of fellows, just
like couple Of them, on
a bale of cotton on II farmers wagon
lust at the city's suburbs. The owner
OF the red eye declared that some dust
got in his eye, but Il companion sug-
gcsts that the young man should not
have exposed the precious organ to
the merciless rvages of the might
air.
Your Dallas reporter is little Off
this morning. BY reference to the
GAZETTE Of the day after the election
of j. II. Bond, mot 5. Nj. Bond from
the passenger train on the Texas d.
Pacihc railway, lie would find that
matter fully reported, except rs TO the
filing of the SUIT, but IL was not filed
on that evening, as he intimates, or on
the next, so Mr.. b. had opportunities
to seek his pillow several times ere the
suit was formally entered.n Leav-
ing this. he says: Considerable feel
Ing has been aroused ut Ter
reii, the site of the future
North Texas asylum, to cost
S2j0000, over the decision of the
asylum board, consisting OF the gov
ernor, comptroller and treasurer, in
refusing to allow change in the
original contract, whereby stone may
be substituted for brick in the founda-
tom He evidently got this impress
sion somewhere else than in Terrell.
Having circulated TO n considerable
extent among the business men, and
not heading anything ON this subject,
this reporter hunted up the president
of the board and consulted Kim
on the subject. He says
! in substance that the
change was suggested by DR.. Wallace,
the superintendent, and Mr.. McDon-
aid, the contractor; that it was discuss
ed before the local board and the
change recommended by them to the
state board; that the subject was sub
mitted to the state board and the arch
itect, and that the board disapproved
the change, with the additional cost
asked. There is no public feeling in
him on the subject, there IS none ON the
part of the loc i board, but everything
is moving along in perfect harmony.
While it is true that many believe that
II stone foundation would be cheaper
| at n considerable difference of cost, yet
we have to hear the first expression OF
| censure against the state board on ac-
count of said action. The president
says that they accept the action of the
state board as correct, and acquiesce
fully and freely.
