Between the proposed extension of the
Santa Fe and the steps taken by the peo-
pie of Henrietta to get railroad to this
place, Gainesville surely ought to get one

any city in North Texas.
The Hesperian Times contains this
morning communication from Leon, l.
T., which says that the attendance fees ON
the United States court at Fort Smith,
Ark, OF the witnesses in the Meredith
Crow case amounted to S2Gi0. This large
outlay for the attendance of witnesses is
but another reason why congress should
establish 4 federal court in the Northern
part of this state with jurisdiction over
the Indian Territory. such court
would be great benefit to the people of
the Territory, to the people of this por-
ton of the state, and would undoubtedly
be saving of expense to the United
States government.
