IN THE mind Of a young woman there
are three essentials in the matrimonial
venture; she must have diamond soli-
taire, lot of new clothes and wedding

appears in a recent incident. A young
couple of San Francisco, not long since
eloped; S33 represented the mans poss-
essions; two of the requisites were I'M
possible, but what should prevent the
third? Not want of funds, for the bride
donned male attire, and the young couple

were at Denver. Their progress is slow
but where there is a will for a bridal trip
there seems to be q way.

THE irony of fate is most fttingly ex-
emplifed in the late elaborate celebration
of Kossuth's birthday in the city of
Pesth, Hungary. Kossuth was patriotic
and deserved the compliment, but while
the people paraded the streets with fly
ing banners, and marched TO inspiring
music, the matches orator, to whose
eloquence they owe emancipation from
surfdom, is said to be dying in exile and
and in want. He who defined gratitude
to receive, did not shoot wide of the
mark. Remembrance Of past favors is
not the virtue of nations or individuals.

"THIRTEEN CITIZENS"
A Letter from Armstrong County with Refer
ence TO Petition for Rangers.
WAsHRIrRN Tax Aug 81 1859.


WAsHBURN, TEX, Aug. q, 1889.
To the Gazette.
Noticing your editorial IN the issue Of
the 26th inst. asking who are the "thir-
teen citizens of Armstrong county set
ting forth the facts of the organization
of what they call foreign railroad jump
ers and rangers to prevent occupancy of
the land by actual settlers and asking
Adjt.-Gen. King to send rangers for
their protection, we have made
diligent inquiry of prominent citizens
over the county and have failed
to fud but one man that knows anything
of said petition, and he admitted having
signed without careful perusal of its
contents, and of the organization above
mentioned he knew nothing. We are
unable to find any who does know Of this
organization; think it must be a black
mailing scheme to retard our prosperity
perhaps was gotten up by parties whose
interests are foreign to ours. We do
know that Armstrong is one of the pro-
gressive counties of the Panhandle; that
her people are enterprising, intelligent
and hospitable, and that strangers
seeking homes find everyone ready
and anxious to show desirable
school lands and are glad to assist in
every way possible. AS to organizations
to prevent actual settlement, we de-
nounce as utterly false; such an organiza-
ton can not exist in Armstrong county.
1t must be a dark lantern set who hold
their meetings just outside during the
dark of the moon, for certainly they
have never been seen IN daylight. We
have about as much need for rangers as
Fort Worth has for martial law, and
hope that our best friend, the Fort
Worth GAZETTE, will place us right be-
fore the world. O.. 7. OLIVER.
