Gle from the HERALD and adds that the
people OF Dallas seem to be awakening

railroad connections to the northwest.
"And a. the HERALD thinks, the road to
the northwest is the most important OF
all, and the sooner the road is built the
sooner will the pernsnent prosperity OF
that city be assured. The people OF the
section OF country to the northwest of
Dallas are more than anxious to aid
Dallas in this enterprise, and want 10

touching this question: II further
Edds that whilst Decatur has not pre-
pared 10 put up a penny, "she is only
waiting for Dallas to put the move in

the basis OF and in proportion TO tho as
sessed value Of the property within her
corporate umits. She will cover every
dollar the great city Of Dallas puts
down.

THE NORTHWEST oE TEXAS,

The HERALD is constantly in receipt
of the wide-awake journals Of the
northwestern section of the state, and
not in single Issue of any of them does
it find failure to speak in eulogistic
terms of Dallas, and an expression OF a
paramount desire to become directly
connected by railway lines with this
city. The Decatur Post goes so far as to
say that for "every dollar put down by
the great city of Dallas, Decatur will
put down another one.' And this Ia the
sentiment of them all.
But few people in this city realize the
extent and possibilities of this north
western section OF Texas. Going to the
northwest from Dallas for distance of
200 miles, some 50 or 90 counties are
reached, each with an area of some 900
or more miles, comprising district of
from 5000 to $1,000 square miles--larger
than the states of New York or Penn
sylvania or Ohio, or all of New Eng
land. And this section is populous and
prosperous, and growing with a ra-
pidity possibly nowhere equalled in the
entire west. And yet this great realm
of wealth Is almost shut Off from
wholesale center like Dalla5
and this city has heretofore failed tc
appreciate the Importance of rendering
this section tributary by direct lines.
What has made New York great, Oh
Cincinnati or indianapolis or Boston

dayP Simply the fact that these cities
have run lines of railway through sec
ton no larger than this northwest o
Texas and have made the section Will,

"AcLosE call" Is reported by the Hes
psrian-Times. It seems Mr.. SPENCER
and MRS. WICK went to Whitesboro
last fall, and, after remaining some
time, spencer went away to get em-
ployment. In his absence the citizens
had to supply his supposed wife and
children with the necessarles Of life. He
returned lately, and found it had leaked
out that he and MRS. VIcK were not
married. The parties took French
leave, and two officers followed them to
Gainesville, whore they were arrested,
But they had been married only that
very morning, and the officers had to re-
lease them. The Times dubs this a
close call, aud &c was.

centralizing plan, and gives excellent
reasons therefor.

THE laWless acts OF the anarchists in

whole country. That society, social

on tho streets, abuse and beat men and

prehensible. If such outrageous acts
were committed here in Texas, or in

traitors would meet the condine punish
