IHE announcement of the Galveston
News that 1t will establish branch at
Dallas is furnishing the subject for much
discussion, and the natural Inference is
that that city has lost prestige by reason
Of the failure OF the deep water scheme.
This il not absolutely so, but there no
doubt is some ground to believe that
the city is not nor will be so prosperous
as she has been, and shows that really
natural advantages can be so abused
that they amount TO nothing. It takes
the same energy and activity to build a
city that it does to build up a prosper
GUS business, and the same agencies can
work detriment to the city that they
do to the individual. But then Calves
ton is not on no great decline, and the
business public will find that her mer-
chants will still DO very great factor
in the trade Of all the State for long
time to come.

rnE Luling Signal says: at Is hard
to tell which is doing the loudest crow
ing-thc san Antonio papers over the
breaking OF dirt on the Arkansas Pass
railroad, or the Houston papers over the
victory OF the Light Guards.
1t is believed here that as soon as the
Arkansas Pass railroad il built few
miles from san Antonio, the Hunting
ton syndicate will MI up the gap be-
tween Gonzales and Cuero, giving
them direct communication with the
Gulf at lndlanola. The fact that this
company controls the Morgan line OF
steamers makes such move probable.
and when connection it made at Cuero
in all probability Il branch viii be built
to the Northwest, so ms to control the
trade of that section In either case.
Luling will lose nothing, but will be en-
ablcd to get much better freight rates. ="

to resist the arts of those who thrive
upon the popular credulity; and yet the

squandered almost the whole Of for

The july heavens promise nothing Of
unusual interest in thaswa of planetary
movements. The only conjunction of
moon and planet deserving Of mention
during July viii be that of Uranus at
6:45 p. IN. of the 10th, The moon will pass
only "a minutes to the sou th Of the planet
A good telescope will be required TO OBJ

in daytime as it does il be visible at ain.
On the morning Of july o, Just as the
sun is rising at 4:33) the waning moon
Will occult the first magnitude star. Aide

Taurus. and noticeable as the bottom star
I'm the Y shaped cluster called the Hyades.
The immersion OF the star may be OBJ
served through a spy glass or opera glass.
The point Of immersion Will be on the
bright part Of the moon, very little dis.
tance above the lower point of the illu-
minated crescent. The OccultatOn will
last hfty-three minutes. This sJar VIII
find itself IN the way of the moon twice
more during the year-Sept. % and Dec.

Mercury passed superior conjunction
with the sun on June y, and Is now an
evening planet. Being well up in north

half OF July. He will reach his greatest
eastern elOngation on August 6, when he

The other planets promise nothing Of
special interest during july. MARS rises

Miss Welman was, as the viii states,

The 100 new Georgia ~ per cent. bonds

O'Clock the same day in order to reach
New York in time to be countersigned by

on July /. AS soon as they
signed f GOV. Mcdaniel and counter
signed b Col n. c. Barnett, Secretary Of
state. They were then securely packed
and sen to Col. r. u. Hardeman, state
Treasurer, in care Of the Fourth National
Bank. the States agency in New York.
Col Hardeman had not 0nlyk TO put his
name d. each Of the 100 bonds, but had
also 10 IN the coupons, which entailed
the Labor Of signing his name 5000 times.
The 9-w bonds are very handsome.
They were engraved by the st. Louis Bank
Note Company in the best style and on
the finest material that could be obtained.
The bonds are 1920 inches. On the face
there is Il margin of beautiful scroll work,
and in he centre is a picture OF the new
