CoMANcHE, May 2.-Thinlsing few
lines at this time from this section
would be acceptable, / would like to
use your columns to let the outside
world know something of the thrift of
our town and the general outlook of
the surrounding country, which is so
beautiful, so well adapted to all agri-
cultural and stockraising purposes
and which has for such q long time
been almost unobserved. This is a
large county, well watered, album
dainty timbered and also containing a
vast amount of beautiful and fertile
prairie land.
we have the Texas Central railroad
passing through the extreme northern
portion of the county, with one thrifty
little town, DeLeon, within its Dor
ders, which is our nearest and most
accessible point for mail, freight and
other purposes. 1t is only sixteen
miles from our town, which enables

bound trains, besides two other daily
mack lines which are necessary to con-
vey the great number of commercial
travellers, prOspectors and visitors to

That the many live capitalists of your
city VIII yet extend the lopg-talked-of
railroad to our town. In fact we SO
FIRMLY believe that 1t is coming that
property has advanced at lea t one
hundred per cent. and the town Is on a
continual boom. Dallas is trying to
make us believe that she is going to
build us the first railroad, but / don't
believe 1t, for she will never have the

adopt vigorous policy of EXTENDING
and developing the line. He is now

reached here late last night of the
killing of Price Green by Jim Smith,
both colored, at Allen farm. The
difficulty arose through too much
drink, and while they were scuffling,
Smith struck Green over the head
with bottle, from the effects of which
he died in short time. Smith is still
at large. A coroner's jury was at once
summoned, but as yet have not
rendered verdict.
