for the better.
Race Chowning, who has been sick
with the fever for the past five weeks,
and whose life was despaired of for
over two weeks, Is able to sit up ut this
writing.
Our young friend Hollis Hudspeth,
book'keepcr for G. +. Doan Il Co.. has
been down with the fever, but is able
to sit up,
Our fellow towusman, Windsor Rob
inson, Is still absent.
Our people We're well represented In
the railroad meeting at Colorado City
on the 2nd ult., in the person of Mr.
Robinson. We know that he Is capablc
and will do all within his power for
| Vernon and Wilhargor county.
Messrs. w. NJ. Holmes, l.. a. Jones
and Mace Riddle were out hunting
last week and killed eight antelopes,
| lots of turkeys, ducks, etc.
Mr.. Isaac Dale met with serious
accident in town Tuesday. He was
getting into his wagon, stepped upon
the doublc-tree, his foot slipped and he
fell and broke his left arm below the
elbow. Drs. Johnson and Wood set the
arm, and though 1t is very painful, he
is doing well.
We are at this time without court
in the county. Judge Doan is of on n
sixty days leave of absence.
Saturday, one of Esq. Riddles
bondsmen withdrew from his bond,
and notice Was served on him Monday
morning early, IL being his regular
court day, and he could not legally
hold court, and us he is the only JUS
! tice in the county, we are without jul
dicial authority IN The county. There
seems 10 bua disposition in this part of
country that when AN officer does not
do things to suit his bondsmen, some
OF them will pull oil aud
force the officer TO make
new bond. We think that Esquire
Riddle has already made new bond,
! hut will have TO await the meeting of
} the commissioners court before he can
perform any of the functions of his Of
flee. We will take the liberty here to
say that there IL too much oin reckless
disposition in this county to help
make bonds and as recklessly wish Ia
withdraw from them, ii the officer
does not do just To suit the hondsmen,
! whether the officer does his duty on
not. or acts conscientiously or not.
We are sorry TO say that the old and re-
liable house of &. i. DOan u Co. have
been closed for about two weeks. rms
is not only misfortune to the mem
beers of the firm but TO our town,
county and II great portion of this
western country. We hope that then
embarrassment will be only temporary
and that they will soon adjust theiI
I 10 4, Ia. On ga ia
omen their doors. there is 10 d0uh
but that their assets far exceed theiI
} liabilities: hut unfortunately for then
they have done too Iuuch credit bust
ness, and ms the returns for cattle ar,
} four TO six weeks later this year thar
? last. they have not been able to collec
enough To meet their present linbill
ties. But this we think would no
have given them any embarrassment
if Il had not been for tho design o
some men 20 try and work their linan
cial ruin. The members of the firm
are now at Fort Worth, where the,
; will meet their creditors, and we hop
so arrange matters MS 10 enable lheli
to open their doors soon.
