Last Tuesday evening DR.. Aiming, aud Messrs.
j. F. Hackfeld, J. G. Piuger and Muller enter
tanned at their residence. No pains were spared
to make the party a delightful one, aud success
crowned the efforts of the hosts. The exterior of
the house was brilliantly illuminated with Chinese
lanterns and all the trees in the garden bore their
share of flashing and twinkling lights. The guests
were received by Mrs. G. II. Judd and Mrs. H.
Glade, who acted as hostesses. Besides the draw
ing room, a spacious temporary ballroom had
been made of the makai varandah. This had
capital floor, and was rooted with gaily colored
bunting. This, being cool, the favorite resort
for the dancers, who tripped 1t lightly to the
strains of the Hawaiian Band. About IL supper
was served after which dancing was again re-
sumed, and carried on till long past the midnight
hour. Among the guests present were His Majesty,
Her Royal Highness Princess LiliUOkalani, His
Honor the Chief Justice and Mrs. Judd, His
Majesty's Chamberlain, Her Britannia Majesty's
Commissioner, the Portuguese Commissioner, and
most of our prominent citizens. During the even

ANorHER RAILROAD WANTED.

ANOlHEH HdiLhOdD WdN iGDf
Our Jack county citizens are asking for
a railroad. The feeling Is infectious.
Everybody wants railroad these days,
and II seems, from the activity going on,
that within year or two the county that
has not at least one road will owe its
misfortune to other circumstances than
lack Of effort on the part Of its people.
Jack is getting TO be one Of the wealth
lest and most important counties In the
Northwest. II had an assessed valuation
in 1884 OF s2,si3,739 against s2,24S,SO5
In 1888, and s1,l26,J0l In 1880. These
figures shows substantial growth, not
withstanding the fact that It was made
without the assistance Of any railroad. A
county that has within itself the ele-
ments OF development such as are
shown here, would take wonderful
stride ahead II railroad should
bring IL into connection with the business
world. This is clearly perceived by the
people Of that county, and they are ask
ing for the road.
One Of the projects OF the Fort Worth
& Denver is branch from Decatur to
Jacksboro, but as the main efforts Of the
management Of that road will, for the
next two or three years, be concentrated
upon the completion OF the main line to
Denver, not much immediate assistance
can be looked for from that quarter. The
Jack county road, whsn II Is built, will go
straight from Fort Worth, and will be
known as the Fort Worth @ Northwest
ern.
In due time Fort Worth will give its at
tention TO this road, and that means, of
course, that 1t will be built For the
present we are too much occupied with |
getting up the Fort Worth & Rio Grande.
That out Of the way, Jack county can
come in for attention, and Jack county
shall have road. THE GAZETTE directs
the attention OF our people to the adyan-
tage OF an alliance with Jack county, and
predicts that, in the "fullness of time"
which Is almost full, the Northwestern
will bring us into immediate connection
with that people, and make them part
OF our future greatness and prosperity.
