SHERMAN, TEN, Jan. "a Mayor G. n
Buckler aud j. NJ. Cullers, Esq, who
were sent as delegates from this city TO
confer with the management of the Santa
Ee railroad at Galveston, returned this
morning on the II ;45 train, aud express
themselves very much encouraged at the
prospect before us for getting at least a
branch of said road Their interview
with the officers was fun of solid infor-
nation and comfort to us, and can be de-
scribed in general terms as furnishing
the brightest prospect that we could
reasonably ask for the coveted prize.
These gentlemen were enabled TO lay out
II route through a fertile coun-
try that would give road
from Fort Worth to Sherman the
monopoly of a large local trade and tap
the coal fields northeast of us on the
most direct and available route that
could be drawn on map Of the country.
The mayor will call special meeting of
the council for tomorrow night, the 10Th
when full report will be made by the
delegates of what transpired ON their
mission.
We learn that all the papers necessary
for the transfer of the Sherman postonlce
to Mrs. Mcpherson have come to hand
and that her bond win be for
warded to the department tomorrow
for approval. AS soon as the same
can be approved her commission
will be forwarded and the
new administration will begin. From a
Democratic standpoint we all have rea-
son to rejoice at the change, and CON
graduate ourselves that this office will be
no longer used as the headquarters of the
Republican party in every political cam
paign, where placards at the delivery
window confronted every visitor with the
legend "Republicans register here" and
that hereafter men Of every political faith
will feel that this is one place where all
fare alike, and the officials inside are the
servants of the whole people, rather than
partisan wire-pullers for a faction
that represents only small per
cent. of the people in this COM
munity. John Donaldson, the outgoing
postmaster, has made an efficient and ac-
commodating officer during the past four
years of his administration, but we expect
to be as well served in the future under
the management OF Mrs. Mcpherson.

ton Of t. vocal class in North Texas

Williams. Miss Swinford is a cousin to
Miss Eugenia Price, the talented art in
