Brown Bradshaw, a Dallas boy. re-
ceived notification to-day of his an.
pointment TO naval cadetship st
Annapolis. He Is about seventes n
years of age and graduated few DAYS
ago at one of our private schools with
high bonors.
The news of the suspension of Gar
rison, our postmaster, came in last
night, and there was considerable joy
among those who expect to be bene-
flied. Garrison has made good
postmaster, and has done all in his
power to please the people. He is Of
fensively partisan though, having ia
ken an active part in the fight between
the Beef Heads and Plug Hats, the
two wings OF the Republican party.
Outside of this war, in which he was
leading Plug Hat and for Arthur, he
never interfered in political matters.
The Beef Heads, 1t is said, have fur
nished most of the evidence of his
craftsmanship. They have been flood
ing the postofflce department with
charges against him. His successor will
probably be Mr.. John Cochran. He
was at one time speaker of the house
OF representatives at Austin, and has
represented our county several times
in the legislature. He Is favorite of
Senator Coke, and Mr.. Welborn owes
his nomination in 1882 to him. He il
good man aud is generally popular.
If he doesn't become Extensively parti-
san he will su the people. The belief
ID h 1t as 8 BON as he gets the office he
will complete the work begun by the
president by discharging ali the Repub.
Icans now in the office.
The announcement is made by the
attorneys for the defendant that the
case of the State against Willis Adams,
VINO Rllled Mike Burns and secured q
change OF venue to kaufman county,
Is to be continued by consent The
reason, 1t is said. is that the prosecut.
ing lawyers are all tired out by their
heavy labors In tue courts. The "man
up a tree" can wink right at this place.
No doubt all hands are unweIi and
tired, and the wink comes in on
Adams securing that which is 30 nee
essary in all cases of this kind, DELAY.
The district cpurt has adjourned
here for the summer. The Judge goes
ON an extended trip to the mountains
OF Tennessee, the lawyers go fishing
and the clients go home grumbling.
The case against Shrop shire Evans
was dismissed to-day. Seven or eight
years ago he shot a German near
Scyene in this county and had several

and reversals OF verdicts. He died a
short time ago and the case was wiped
from the docEet.
