ferent parts OF the harness i'm exactly
the right position. The traces are al

fAustin Statesman. i


The GAZETTE is the fairest foe In the
state. 1T fights matters on their merits
and eschews personalities. 1t repre-
sents some sort Of a triumph to win
from such paper. The GAZETTE Is
able, fearless and alert. Its every de-
partment is we'll conducted. and alto
gether it takes very high rank as a
leading newspaper of the state, We
rejoice sincerely at every legitimate
success made in Legitimate journalism
in the state. The effort to place the
newspapers of Texas on an equality
with other western states, though long
continued and expensive, has resulted
in grand advance all along the line,
and the GAZETTE is one of the best
evidences Of this advance. Abundant
success to our favorite in all things
except in its gauzy third term OPPOSE
ton. That is the one weak point In
its opposition.

Thomson, who locked him up in the

been shot IN the arm about the same

was unable to find him. Farrer's
wife says that he was shot by some un.

Gould may be regarded as the greatest
financial success the world has ever
produced. 1t is only about thirty
years since he obtained his majority
and his fortune is to-day perhaps
greater than has ever been acquired
by any other man without inheritance
His specialities have been railroads

The spirit of enterprise shown by the
people Of Fort Worth is worthy of uni

drawing business to their city, and

race track and purses attract crowds,
who expend thousands of dollars.
Now she has projected q scheme for

Annual Report Of City Nilsson, 1883
and 1884.

The amount OF work done by the City
Mission during the past year has been very
great. The help given from the Mission
during the summer months Is very limited,
being confined strictly to the old and in
firm, and such as are in bed from sick
ness; this restriction Is necessity entliled
by want OF funds. The amount OF soup
issued at the Mission house during
the past year was 10000 quarts, with
10000 pones OF bread; 5000 sick-ra.
tions (each consisting OF sugar, rice, tea or
coffee, and crackers), 500 yards new red
flannel, 2j bed-comforts and blankets, 500
yards OF cotton and worsted goods "a dona-
tiOn), 1000 old garments, $50 pair Of shoes.
Three thousand visits have been made by
the district visitors. Six hundred tons OF
gas-coke Ia donation from the City Coun-
ciD have been distributed by tickets where
most needed. Donations OF coal and wood
have also been made to the Mission. House
rent, matron's wages, and repairs have all
been paid. The amount expended for this
work during the past year has been
81, ,2S2.3; the amount collected, Sl,329.S1.
This entire sum Except 900 contributed
by City CounciD was raised by voluntary
contributions from the citizens. The ladies
OF the Mission desire to express their
thanks to Captain Bigger for his efficient aid
in their charitable work. The balance OH

time by the payment to the City Treasurer
Of sum whereof the assessment il 10 per

shall furnish said owner a receipt, stating
that the assessment has been committed.
