to Visit Dallas

Fort WoRTH, Aug. 0.-[SpeciaI.l- l.
To-day has been a dull one in the city,
and tho extreme host, all day long,
hss rendered it disagreeabIe one.
The visitors to the late reunion have
all departed and things about town
have resumed their accustomed chan
mol. 1t Is worthy of mention that not
withstanding the large number of peo-
plo In this city during the uast week,
there was not an accident nor an in
oldent that tended TO mar she general
hilarity of the occasion.
The churches this morning were
slimly attended, owing no doubt, to
tho heat, the greater part of tho peo.
pie prefering to remain Mt homo in
the cool. The reunion grounds have
suddenly become quite II place of re-
| sort, and many ladies' and gentlemen
availed themselves of an opportunity
this evening to visit that charming
and beautiful place and linger on the
hallowed grounds whore "joy was un-
| confined" tor three short days.
LOCAL OPTION.
The county commissioners court
meets tomorrow, and the prohibition
lists, anticipating this, filed yesterday
their petition requesting that body to

must be done after 80 days notice. The
anti-liquOr men have been preparing
for this fight Tor some time, but what
the liquor mon have been doing in the
way or preparing for the battle is not
known. AS general thing the bust
ness mon ofthe city arc opposed TO the
movement, and will do all iu their
power to defeat 1t.
