CITATION is unnecessary if the Justice
OF the Peace is on your side and will
give you Judgment or hold the defend
anu 10 answer without one; because,
whlle the Judgment is absolutely void
so obtained, yet the defendant has no
remedy except to appeal and then
he brings himself into court and
ms case is tried de novo, and
that is all you want, or if the fool lets
the time for appeal or certiorari pass, he
can then enjoin your void Judgment by
giving you valid one, which is Just
what you want. (See fully Texas CT.
App. civil cases, by White IL Wilson,

is with you, or in other words, if
you run, the court is to sue the
defendant out of his precinct and
he will not be so apt to put in his APP
pearance to beat you and when YOU
get your judgment by default, which of
course is void and worthless. If the
defendant kicks he will have to give
you valid judgment, if you are en-.
titled to it, which is called doing equity,
or returning good for evil. (See Tex.

gen. Mite for about two wears. The
General has been travelling about nine
years, and during that time he has Wis
tied all the courts of Europe and all the
large towns in England. The marriage
would, it is stated have taken place
sometime ago, but for the fact that the
parents are of different religions. The
Generals parents are Catholics, while
the parents of the young lady are Pres

the town, and will, undoubtedly, result
in the rapid settling up of the country
Immediately around it. The directory
have also arranged for the construction
OF a road from Midland to the Quaker
settlement in Crosby county, connectieg
there with the main cattle trail leading
10 Kansas and Colorado. On the line Of
this road wells will be dug from twelve
to fifteen miles apart. The building of
TINS road will be of incalculable benefit
10 the town, and open up for settlement
an attractive and fertile country. The
town has already in operation a
drug store, grocery and hardware
stores, and livery stable, and
the new hotel is rapidly approaching
completion. Mr.. Cain, the proprietor of
the hotel, is also building store, which
has already been rented in advance of
completion. Mr.. Cain is confident of
having the hotel completely finished and
furnished in time to accommodate the

measures already adopted by them

involve an expenditure of from $1,000
To $4,000 is sure indication that they
have proper appreciation of what is
necessary to be done and an earnest of

Texas directors, Messrs. Philips, of Abb

their active efforts in behalf of the town.
