Meeiing-0tller Current Topics.


Correspondence OF the Gazette.
Henrietta March Zone day last
week three men were arrested while
cutting a wire fence in the edge OF
Jack and Clay counties. The names
of the parties Gre Wilson, I[Rney and
Writ. hey were devastating aud
laying waa;e the property of Mr..
Shippey. The parties were placed in
iail IL JecksbGro. This fence-cutting
bu mess is all wrong. \ great mistake
was made 10y the stockmen when they
began buying up the land and fencing
it. Texas has had free grass and water
so long that it is bitter pill now to do
without the two greatest blessings in
an old Texas mind. Had the stock
raisers continued in the same way, all
would have gone on right.
One day last week the Henrietta
cornet band took in Wichita Falls. A
street parade in the afternoon and Il
ball at night. Many OF Henrietta's
fair lads and lasses availed themselves
of the opportunity, and paid the city
of the raging Wichita visit. The
ball was Il financial success.
\ revival meeting has been going on
for some time, and has been the means
Of adding many new members to the
visible church. 1t is impossible to tell
how much real good has been accom-.
plished by this demonstration, but
from a conversation overheard one
morning it must be immense. Little
girl to little boy: "Where is my glass
marble you promised me-" Answer:
"Oh, forgot to bring ii; hush, don't
say anything; | will bring it to NOR
, a .tnl
first little girl; "What did he promise
you glass marble for" ON, for
praying for him last night at the
mourners bench"
It's rumored that Mr.. G.. w. Ford,
county aud district clerk, will soon
lead 10 the hymeneal altar one of the
fair daughters OF Bowie. Then say, If
YOU can, that Henrietta and Bowie ale
not one. though twenty-eight miles OF
fine country lies between them.
The paymaster for the Western posts
has last passed up the road to Fort sill,
Auadarko and other points IN the res
ervation. He is undoubtedly the most
welcome visitor hat could go among
those forts, and is met with many a
smile, certain.
The much-dreaded fire alarm was
sounded this morning just after day

somewhat Of a lively scare.

reading of said trial as printed in the
GAZETTE has been the order oil the
day lately. ,u ,.,s T.,

losses by the late fires have been al d,
