sumptuous revelry until the hour oil our

larger than has ever been seen on similar
occasion in this state, and the concerts

BOOMING DALLAs.
Dallas as well as Abilene, has been en-
loving a boom. A good number OF very
handsome brick business buildings have
been put up there in this past two months,

erection now. Lots in the business parts OF
Elm and Main streets have increased IN
value rs per cent. the last three months;
and in proportion to the advance IN real
estate and the rapid construction OF good
business buildings, the trade of the town
has grown and the facilities for doing a
Wholesale business also rapidly improved.

and friendship OF the press OF the state by
her unbounded hospitality extenueu W
them during the annual convention. ana
IL was lone the less complimentary on the
part of her citizens to insist, urge and con-
tend for the association to hold its next an

them, which we think would be hard TO DO
under the existing circumstances during
