DALLAS PLUCK.

The last feather in her cap is the re-

poratlons have no souls" and in such
matters we must bow to tho mex

OF Dallas are prCverbial for their en-
terprise and liboralty, and thew are
ably sustained by an eu!erprising and
liberal press Jefferson News.

The News would suggest that the

each appoint committee OF say three
