MARSHALL, TEX, July pa state,
ment in Dallas paper few DAYS ago
that 1t was probable the Texas Pacific
general offices, now at that place, would
be brought here, has created considerable
Interest among our people. Marshall is
the most natural and proper position for
the offices on the road. Here are located
the shops of the company, and here these
Offices would have remained unto this
good day had it not been for the T. p IS
connection with the Gould system. Our
people paid out their hard-earned dollars
for the location of the shops and head
quarters Of the company here years ago,
and II is but simple Justice that they
should be brought back where they be-
long. The manner in which the para
phernalia Of some of the Offices was re-
moved, being carried away in the dead
hour OF the night in special train, indi.
Gated what those who did the job thought
OF the justice of the act In which they
were engaged
There is lots OF railroad talk here Just
now, and If everything works out as ii is
designed Marshall will soon have railroad
outlets In two directions that will give
her merchants equal facilities with other
towns In the state. The T. p. is soon to
make connection with the Erlanger
system ofroads, which will give it a connec-
tion with Cincinnati, Louisville and other
important points, while the Marshall &
Northwestern is being pushed rapidly
forward to Gilmer, where 1t will intersect
with the Texas & St. Louis, thus giving
another outlet to st, Louis. The road
will also be pushed on to Paris in time TO
meet the Frisco, and form still another
important connection.
The main hospital of the Texas Pa
cllc road is in full operation here, with
DR.. Reeves as chief surgeon in charge.
At present the buildings formerly used
for general offices are In part used by It,
but 1t is understood that permanent
buildings of more suitable character
will be erected for its use
Last Monday was payday, and there
was as much as sl25,0 900 paid out by the
company, Of which but small proper
tion was spent here, the bulk OF the
money being sent away by the men to
their families in other places. Gradually
the old men are going back to their
places in the shops. as nearly every pay
day sees one or more old men put on
and new ones put off. The shops are

If Custer county never before went
iemocratic-we don't know whether il
has or mott is likely to 90 that way
next month. The population Of the
character Of Buffalo Gap invariably
embraces an overpowcring democratic
element. There is no exception TO this
rule that we have ever heard of in the
west. And as the population of the
Gap is about equal to the balance OF
that county, the republicans might just
as well hang up their harps.-Lead City
Tribune.
We reproduce the above upon its
merits as the champion chestnut of the
campaign. When We state for the edili-
cation of the writer that both Battle
River and Custer precincts are more
populous than Buffalo Gap, to say
nothing about the other eight precincts
in the county, which will poll very
respectable vote, the magnitude of the

to contine his attention strictly to, and
not venture beyond the boundaries of
