he is q formidable man With the people
As al present advised, there Is no man

Judge Il. Il. Gains OF Paris left for
home this morning, after spending a
pleasant day among the citizens whom he
served in former years on the district
court bench.
Capt j, G, Edmonds and Lieut.. Frank
A. Ryan of the Grayson Rides received
their commissions last evening from GOV.
Ireland, and by orderof Acknowledgement
King the company has been assigned TO
the Fourth regiment OF Texas Volunteer
Guards, commanded by Col. Is. L. Smith,
with his headquarters at Cleburne. The
company numbers about forty men, well
armed, uniformed and eXcellcntly well
drilled for the short time since their or
ganizatlon, and we expect good account
of them whenever called upon in COM
petitiye drill or required TO face our
counuy's foes. The Grayson Rifles
are made up Of the very best
young men of the city and they have too
much pride Individually and collectively
to stop short OF the highest excellence AT
tainable.
James Hunt, Bruce Farris and j. Miller
were arraigncd before Commissioner
Ricketts, coFtyesterday on the charge of
theft of household goods from Mrs. T.. A.
johnson at Anadarko, in the Indian Ter.
ritory. The investigation Is still going
on.
The county court was engaged to-day
in the trial OF Il damage case OF b. H. Ray
s Son OF Memphis, Tenn, against the
firm Of Pittman 4 Harrison on the sale of
oats. II has been tried twice before but
no verdict was had.
Justice Hinkle was engaged in hearing
the case Of the state of Texas against
William Dwight and William Parker to-
day, charged with burglary OF the house
of 6 :. Mcbride of Whitesboro about
one year ago. Constable Wright caught
the defendants in the city yesterday.
Several Suspectng and distrustiul furm.
ers came into the city to-day with twenty
seven bales OF cotton, and their spokes-
man notified the dealers that no one
should sample it without frstbdding sc.
The market not iustiiyng such bid for
"pig in bag, - The irute alliance started
off for DenlSon, cursng sherman foI
want OF enterprise and liberality. The
merchants of our city have entered into Il
compact 10 pay the highest price possible
from day to day, leaving out the question
OF profit entirely, and they stand ready to
make good their promises TO the farmers
with all the wealth they possess, but
when the farmers want premium ON
every bale brought whether good or bad,
their minds and our merchants mind,
don't meet, and they can drive on.
The trade is In q chaotic condition in
this section just now. Men drive here
from Fannin county 70 spite Bonham
buyers; they drive from Grayson county
10 Bonham to spite sherman buyers, and
Interchange in like manner between SHEER
man and Denson. In several instances
where these farmers have driven to a re-
moter market, the merchants take up the
bait, as IL were, make up Il contribution
10 cover losses, and send out some one
TO 10 the purchasing at extra rates TO adj
yertisc their town--and then brag
about II in the local papers, TO
ret others 70 come, but such tricks only
serve as temporary deception and the
next DAYS market drops back TO ruling
prices.
There Is no question but great prelu-
ace exists IN the MINDS OF farmers against
the way buyers nave conducted the Dnsi-
ness here Tor TWO years past ana notWlth-
standing the tact That our merchants nave
