WHAT SHERMAN NEEDS,
More railroads worst OF all, and then
water-works. Capt, a S. Hayne. one of
the best hydraulic engineers in Texas,
came up yesterday and submitted plans
aud estimates for a system OF works that
would insure TO Sherman bountiful
supply Of water. This was the
result of extended study and calculation
based on a personal survey of the
grounds. The council is known to favor
the building Of the works; the people are
nearly unanimous for them, and the mat
ter cannot bear postponng much longer
Water-works in town Of the wealth and
population OF Sherman are almost q ne
cessity. Other places OF far less lmpor-
lance are ahead of her IN this
respect, and 1t will not do for the
capital Of the most fertile and populous
county In the Lone Star state TO longer
lag behind the procession. Even
with the added tax made neces-
sary by the late decision against
the city in the railroad bond suits,
the burden Of taxation, state, county
and municipal, will not be 50
grievous but that Sherman viii come
smilingly TO the front and build these
works She is still in the ring and not
enough disiigured TO make noise about
HIRE AND THERE.
The Grayson Rifles have decided not TO
