why Thew Do IL,

These few lines are not written for the
purpose of inveigling the unwary
reader into perusing a lot of advertising
slush, but to acquaint the people of
Dallas and the surrounding country
with a few simple facts of interest.
Messrs. Thompson Bros, dry goods
dealers, sos and 500 Elm street, stated
to HERALD reporter yesterday
that they had no idea of clos
ing out their business here
but were simply selling off hosiery,
laces, embroideries and dress. goods at a
reduction of % per cent, simply because
they desired to reduce their stock for
the present. They are doing a great
clearing business and their store was
thronged with ladies yesterday whs,
recognizing the reduced rates At which
goods were offered, purchased literally
Their establishment presented a busy
scene, thronged as it was with ladies

mentioned. The land board is entirely
a separate and distinct agency or Office
in the administrative economy of this
government.
These parties are not, and haye never
been, prohibited from resorting to the
courts to remedy such wrongs as the
land board may have done them, which
l claim has not been done. Then,
again, the bill is subter-
fuge, and is an indirect method of
avoiding the constitution, which de.
clares that the legislature shall never
vote money out of the treasury for in
dividual or private purposes. This
bill authorizes and REQUIRES
the land board to give these
parties credit fer about $4,000. That
would be tantamount to appropriating
that amount out of the treasury for
private purposes, and l maintain that
we, as sworn representatives of the PEG.
pie of this great state, can not do in
directly that which we are prohibited
from doing directly. appeal
to every member upon this
floor to vote down this bill.
and relegate these parties to the courts
of the country which are at all times
ready to protect the citizen from Injury
Vote for the bill and you deplete the
treasury $4,000. l shall most solemnly
vote no, and trust you all will so vote.
