Special TO the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, June l8--The ex-
tremely gushing manner In which the
Denlson correspondent OF the Dallas
News wrote up the railroad prospects of
that ambitious city in Thursdays issue of
his paper provoked much smiling in
Sherman, and that, too, without thought
OF rivalry. In fact, good news for Deni-
son does not imply the reverse for Sher-
man, only little less gorgeousness in
| description and not quite so much of the
rose in colorlng would seem to better
comport with credibility. AS far as the
extension of the Missouri Pacific from
Gainesville TO Henrietta is concerned.

Denison would secure by the road, but IL
is plain statement of the facts. Again,
Sherman does not need to be tortured by
the "green-eyed monster when reference
is had to the prosperity, real or imaginary,
of her sister city Sherman is too busy
laying plans for her own material devei-
opment to be disconnected by any pangs
of jealousy. And not only in LAYING
plans but in actually working them out
to consummation. The many irons she

HAPPY RIFLES.
The military boys are feeling jubilant
to day, as their new uniforms got in this
morning. There are thirty-six suits and
they are beauties. Jimmie Taylor was
the first man to don his new
clothes, and they fitted him so perfectly
that, drawing himself to his fun height
(siX feet two) he proudly exclaimed:
"Old Horace was right when he sung, It
Is sweet to ole for one's country When
ever they get into trouble at Fort Worth
or elsewhere they will find us ever ready.
Charge, Chester, charge!" Cheers from
the spectators.
The members of the Grayson Rifles band
also received their uniforms, similar in
all respects to the others, save the trim
ming. 1t will remembered that the uni
forms OF tho Rifles was the priDcely dona-
ton OF that llberal-hearted gentleman, Jot
Gunter.
