GANEsvLLE, TEX, Jan. 22.--Another
blizzard has come. A genuine old-time
norther has been blowing here all day,
and people have staid indoors as much as
possible, aud business has not been live
ly. Yesterday was fair and pleasant, but
to-day has been cloudy, WINDY and cold.
Mr. b. II. Farley, the agent for the An
heuser-Busch Brewing association and
proprietor OF the Gainesville ice factory,
died suddenly this morning at about G:45
O'clock. Mr.. Farley was attending to his
business as usual yesterday, and to all
appearances was in his usual health.
About 1880 O'Clock last night he COM
planned Of feeling badly, and began rapid
ly to grow worse. Four doctors were
called in during the night, but they were
unable 10 relieve him, and he died, as
above stated, early this morning The
body will probably be sent TO Michigan,
the state from when Mr.. Farley originally
came, for interment For the last six
years Mr.. Farley has resided in this city,
and has done a thriving business His
death is great shock TO his friends.
This has been week OF romantic mar
riages. Monday afternoon Justice Hol-
man united couple in front of the east
door of the courthouse, and yesterday
Elder A. S. Greer tied the knot for
pair Of lovers on the sand beach of Red
river in the Chickasaw nation, Indian
Territory. The names of the romantically
married couple are w A. Donaldson and
Miss Eliza j. Pickett, and they live at
Metz, In Montague county. The high con-
tracing parties went to a spelling match
Wednesday night, but they left the scene
of the photographic contest and came to
Gainesville, where they secured the serv-
| ices of Elder Greer, and, in company
with the elder, they made for the Terri
tory. The cause of the runaway match
was, perhaps, because the bride is under
age and the old folks were obdurate.
This case is but another example of the
fact that love will triumph over all OBJ
| stacles.
More cotton was received here yester-
day than has been brought to this city
any one day since Christmas No doubt
the beautiful weather allured many
of the farmers, still holding a part of
their cotton, to the city. The number of
bales received was ITO. To-day's receipts
will not reach that figure, although, in
| spite of the cold weather, some cotton
has come in. A large quantity of wheat
was sold here yesterday aud brought fair
prices. Very large shipments OF wheat,
corn and oats have been made from here
this season, aud our shipping merchants
have done larger business than they
have for several seasons.

There Is some talk here OF the Frisco
roads looking to this place instead of
to Paris. It is hoped the report is well
founded.

naming civil business was disposed Of,
the minutes We're read, approved and
signed by Judge Hail. and court ad-
iourned for the term County court will

There is considerable talk here about
the councils action in reducing the salary
of the city treasurer to 81 per year There
is considerable work connected with the
Office and very few men can well afford to
give the time and labor required to dis
charge the duties of the Office for that
small amount. The banks, however, offer
to handle the funds of the city gratuitous.
ly and the council may decide to accept
the offer.
