One OF the matters that GOVERNOR Ire.
LAND mentions In his proclamation calling
u special session Of the legislature, to be
l6gislated on, should receive the earnest
attention Of our legislators, especially them
of north Texas, in the black.waxy couu.
ties. Wereier to the matter Of providing a
better system of public highways. The
question of roads In our black.waxy soil is
getting to he u serious one.
Bad roads are detriment
to all classes, especially 10 the farmer, who
is moro dependent on them than any other
class, on account of his having to haul
the products Of his farm to market. II is
frequently the case that corn, oats and
other products bring high price in our
market, but on account Of the impossible
condition OF the reads our farmers
are prevented from delivering their gralr,
and consequently su1,r serious losses.
Thee are facts well known to all. We are
torcibly reminded Of them every fall and
winter. II Is plain then that we need bet.
Ter roads TO benefit both the farmer and the
merchant. To build good roads Il is going
10 cost lots OF money; that is one
thing we had Just as well make up our
minds. TO submit too. There could be
nothing dono In our opinion that would
benefit all classes aud industries In the city
and county OF Dallas moro than the build.
ing OF say sixty miles Of turnpike In our
county; say two lines thirty miles long,
running from east to west and north
10 south, or in any other direct on
crossing each other at Dallas, We believe
that sixty miles OF good turnpike can be
built .or three hundred thousand dollars,
say 5000 per mile, perhaps less, We will
not ask the question whether sixty miles OF
good turnpike Is worth the sum we mention
to the Taxpayers Of our county, for surely
any one who will reflect over the matter
can not help but see the
great benefits that would aocru,
to all. We believe that these sixty miles Of
good turnpike would be worth as much to
the city Of Dallas as a half 3 dozen railroads
and TO the farmers OF this county as
much as "a dozen railroads would be,

ApropoS TO the question OF closing

bility, indeed the probability Of losing the
races at this point as consequence Of the
other move has been extensively discussed
We trust there Is no foundation Tor the
rumor that the Dallas Jockey club mana
gers contemplate transferring the entries

certainly the best aud best advertised place
In north Texas for a fall meeting of the

Their mother was widow (hsr husband hav-
