MESQUITE, TEX, Dec. 25.-This has
been very quiet Christmas, most peo-
pie contenting themselves with a good
dinner at home. All of the stores have
been closed most of the day, and the
saloons we're the only places where the
losfers could warm themselves. The
very cold weather prevented q children IS
donation meeting at the Methodist
church to-day.
Night efore last Marshal Quinn had
his hands full. About 9 a. IN. some
parties found eight sacks of flour under
Kimbrough' warehouse which had been
stolen out of the house and left under

The Stonewall county jail has just been
completed at Rayner.
For some time the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railway company have cou-
templated building a large hospital on
their lines in Texas, and a gentleman
who came to the city yesterday told re-
porter, says the Herald, that Greenville
was to be chosen as the place for this

quire much of an extra move to get out q
special edition, but Editor Long can tell
different story. He. however, did good
execution IN the fray and came safely
out.
And still they come. The Dublin Tele-
phoRe has the following: ". Il. Neel
will soon begin the publication of a
monthly paper in Dublin called the Gen.
trel Texas Journal. He has bought 9
job press and seems to be getting IN regu-
lar shape for the business. 1t is hard for
man who has been in the newspaper
business any length of time to stay out OF
it long.
The Belleville Standard has celebrated
it's eighth birthday, and is most
healthy and robust youth. But that's
the Texans normal condition and per-
haps does not deserve notice. Right
here it may be proper to state that, even
If the season De at hand, the Standard il
making no holiday resolves. but just
staying with itself when it remarks tina;
cit will stand by the right even if i!
stands alone, and will condemn the
wrong even If ell the world cries out in
its favor
A fine special was that gotten out by
the Temsleville Times, and shows up in
good shape the fact that Santone and
Southwest Texas is in a prosperous con-
ditIon. The Times may get stepped on
occasionally, but 1t still continues TO
whistle the same old tune, which being
interpreted means "on to. -
The Beeville Picayune has just issued
8 special immigration edition which
pleads strongly for that section. . ne
might be excused for calling it q winner {.
No apologies are necessary when work
like that is done for home and Texas.
The twinkler that twinks every after
noon for Waco, at the rate of less than
two cents q twink, did itself proud in its
special edition. 1t was fine piece of
work and the citizens of Geyssrville
cannot but appreciate the effort. It
should help the News, and Is certainly q
tenstrike for Waco. The special write
ups are exhaustive and the general ap-
pearance plimentary. The News
is hereby promoted to the select guard of
hustlers.
Away up among the specisl editions in
artistic effect is the Bonham News. Its
literary features were largely extended :,
and news not forgotten, but the princ-
pal item WAS the fact that last Wednes-
day afternoon County Clerk Lemons is
sued ten MARI ge licenses. without
these there was undoubtedly enough
provocation in the season for the dis play
of molly branch and mistletoe, but when
that occurred the editor fell right off his
tripod and began to pile il the Christmas
trees, dram faces, cupids and waxen
tapers until the pages were full. 1t was
done, however, with taste, and the
Christmas number was d beauty.
The country press have been getting
ready to enjoy the holidays by emitting
an issue. That is where they have the
advantage over THE GAZETTE which
must. bob serenely up 365 times q year
with q few extras thrown in. BY way of
a contrast the Nocoua Weekly Argus
will issue daily through the holidays,
and embody prize as well as the COM
pliment of the season in each merry
good morning. Some newspaper men
have big hearts aud the Argus editor
seems to possess that variety.
