"A GroosrymAn Makes an AssiEnment-A
Letter from Oongrsssman Hare.
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, Feb. 1S.-T. B. Hudg-
ms, grocerymsn of this city, who en-
bArked in the business only few months
ago, made an assignment to-day in favor
of his creditors. A. L. Strong is the az
signee, and the amount Of assets and
liabilities have not been learned.
The following letter has been received
by Mayor Geren Of this city fromI Judge
Hare, and would have been presented TO
the city council on last Saturday night,
but was not in order at that meeting:
.s- WASHINGTON, D c., Feb. 4, 1855.
To the Hon. J. T. Gelen and City Council
Sherman:
GENTLEMEN-I wrote Mr.. Geren. the
other day that the judiciary committee
would refer tue federal court bill to the
House with Dsnison as the place for the
establishment OF the court. at the same
time stated that the bill would not be.
come law until the Vest territorial bill
was disposed Of. It seems that there is
some misunderstanding with you and the
people Of Sherman, and even some have
charged me with working against
the interests of Sherman. To this l
can only say that I will look after the
interests Of Sherman as far as can hon.
oraoly do 80, and don't think the citi-
zens will require more than this. Since
l wrote Mr.. Geren have taken pains to
ascertain the exact status of the bill, and
now say to you that this bill, as II now Is,
whether reported to the House or not, or
even il it should go so far as to pass the
House, will not become law, not that
do or will oppose it, but because it
antsgoniz ss the territorial bill 10
an extent that the Senate will
not approve it. 1t is enough for me to
say that l know this. Mr.. Culberson
said to me yesterday that if we we're to
get it through the House it would be
killed in the Senate and from his talk I
d MT believe we will report it at all, at
least not as 1t now is. Now, this being
true, Why should Sherman or Denlson or
Gainesville make such constant worry?
say to you again as have said before,
when any measure is before the House
that affects Sherman or any other city
in my district, you will all have notice.
You will remember that when you sent
me here two years ago to represent Sher-
man, that only remained fe y days and
reported back that the bill would not be-
come law. The same causes still exist,
and 1 repeat, the bill as 1t now stands,
will not pass the Senate. It may be
changed so rs to leave better standing,
but If g., think you may risk me to give
you notice. But ask you TO expend no
money on 1t until give you notice. 81
II may be well for me 10 here say that
in no event will take official action for
or sgainst any town in my district where
there is conflict, but will warn all, SO
that they may take such steps as they
may deem proper. Resps esfpiIy and
truly, - SEAS HARE.

An Attempt to Have a Refrigerator
Located in Fort Worth Should
Be Successful.
Feeding sorghum-Range Cattle and
an Early Market

Mr.. Wiley Moore Of Dill Bros. ranch
LIS Sale comfy, Is in the city.
-
Colonel R. E. Maddox says the unto,
stock yards will be in shape to handl.
cattle coming through the city this spring
Work on the construction will not be
much longer delayed.
There will be large delegation OF
Texas stoCkmen at the Denver conven-
ton. Very few of those who make their
headquarters at Fort Worth but have eX.
pressed an Intention to attend.
-
Mr.. ". C. Rogers OF jack county, who
has been in the city for some time, and
who recently took trip up into the Pan
handle, says cattle are in first-rate con-
ditien. The weeds are springing up, and
IL the fine weather continues for short
time, thersnge men will be able to put
their beef on the market very early.
Captain Burk Burnett has just returned
from trip to his ranch. He spent five
days there. The losses of cattle have
been small In his herds, and he is very
jubilant over the outlook.
Captain Burnett tn nks that the matter
of q refrigerator will be brought before
the state cAttlemen's convention, and
sees no reason why efforts made by this
city to have the establishment located
here should not be successful.
( =.
The Texas Panhandle cannot find 8
more beneficial theme than such as the
following: Judge Patton was here sew
eral days within the week looking like 8
man content and satisfied with the ar
rangements made and talking like an en-.
thusisstic sorghum feeder. He is win
tering 700 head of cattle on his place
down the Sweetwater on the mentioned
forage and says one man can do the work
of caring for them and that there has
been 3 constant gain In the condition of
every animal since they were put
on the feed. Work-steers that
were "run down" and poor in the
fall are now in fine condition on the
sorghum alone. The Judge has set an
example that is worth much 20 the cattle
industry and the prosperity Of our coun-
try. Five years ago, the man who would
feed cattle through the winter in the Pan
handle would have been the subject Of
SCuO4o1 ACha4hi hhO SNOh sUO yOnA6 dk@Ot
the fellow who should have advanced the
idea of feeding this number Of cattle
would have been regarded crank. But
1t is done easily and with great profit.
Under such 8 system there are no
losses from starvation, the young
stock Is kept growing all through
the winter, every head is on the home
ranch in the spring, aid the lot comes
to grass ia good order and
thrifty condition. These things all mean
prosperity, and the ease and slight cost
of 1t all makes the old way stand out in
comparison as utterly shiftless and vii
famous. Our Panhandle is par excellence
q stock farming country, as either the
man with only the plow or he with only
cSttle must shortly see to his discontinue.
And these examples in the right direction
started and multiplying rapidly must
at once prove the way to any skeptic.

The House then proceeded to con-

District Of Columbia.
The first bill called up WAS ore punish
ing the advertising of lottery tickets in

by Mr.. Rogers, OF Arkansas, upon con-
stitutional grounds.
The bill would prevent any psper, no

infringe the liberty Of the press
Mr.. Grain, of Texas, took issue with
the argument that every scheme Of

robbery at Mspils, in January last, re-
turned last night from Chichus, Mexico.

receive justice before the courts of that

Mr.. Il iitur: la Your issue OF
last week there was q very hand
some and we'll deserved tribute paid
to the ladies of the vicinity OF the
Eim~oo scLoDl, for their yer.
large contribution to the enjoy ment
OF ciosiug day. 1t was indeed o ga
Ia day for the eighborhood. A
large number of ladies and gentle
men, patrons and friends of the
school, met to honor the occasion.
All were pleasantly and socially in
ciined and were made all the more
so by the very excellent and ample
dinner provided by the ladies, and
oy the exercises of the school,
which were in the highest degree
creditable to the indefatigable and
most excellent teacher, and the pu.
pills.
10 these, the ladies, the dinner.
and the pleasures of the day, your
correspondent paid most fitting
tribute, but justice to the teacher.
Butler .Abernathy, and his pupils,
demands that they shall receive
their share OF the credit for an en-
tertainment that broke in so pleas
antiy upon the monotony Of our
moral lite. An interest so deem in
the closing exercises Of any school
in the neighborhood, and a success
on the part lof teacher and pupils,
SO gratifying to patrons aud the
friends of both, has rarely been
witnessed in the history of the old
kehoboth school. Perhaps no fac,
speaks so we'll for the superiority of
tue school as the spirit IF rivalry,
the evident desire of each pupil to
perform we'll his part, to occupy
front rank in bis class, that pervad-
ed the entire school from the larg-
est to the smallest pupil. We are
nall inclined to mention by name
some of the young ladies and gen
t'emen who have made most graft
Tying and remarkable progress dur
ing the session, and yet when all &C.
Quilted themselves so well, "a roll
of honor" would be incomplete that
did not include the entire school.
The success Of the school, the
pleasures of the day, and the graft.
flcation OF 7patrons and friend; are
all pleasantly suggestive of the
pride and interest that pervadc the
entire community, if, to teacher was
added handsome and commodious
school building with pleasant and
comfortable surroundings, improved
grounds, all forming "a picture
heightened by cherished recollec-
tions that would ever grow dearer
as the years rolled by. What more
than this, would herald the prog
ress, higher civilization, refine
ment towards which we are tending?
This is our deserved and cheerful
tribute to the professor and his
pupils. LOCKER ON.
