Mr.. Jefferson Davis, and also in per-
sonal interview which they held with
Mrs. Davis about the same time pledged
themselves to do all in their power to
provide and care for the family OF the
South IS lamented chieftain.
Governor Ross, under the law, could
not absent himself from the state aud
was not present, but was represented
by Governor Lubbock ut the fu-
neral.
In conformity with the sense of that
meeting, and at the request Of Gov
ernor Gordon of Georgia, commander in
chief of the United Confederate veteran
association. committee was appointed
to take the relief fund in hand and to
solicit in ell the Southern states and this
committee has appointed Col. George
Norman of New Orleans, who
is the first ice-president of
the veteran cavalry association
of the South, and president of the Louis
lana division as its accredited agent, and
he is now in Texas soliciting money for
this relief fund.
nr. Davis had no opportunities for
money making, and in living and
entertaining had created an in
debtedness at the time of his decease,
and which lie resting upon his Mississippi
plantation, of about $40, 900, and the
- IA : an
tirely, so Mrs. Davis could have it free
from incumbrance. OF this sum nearly
$50, 900 has been raised, and of this
amount, as far as is known, Texas has
only contributed $500. AS is we'll known.
Mr.. Davis repeatedly refused to accept
donations or gifts of money in any form,
and it was only after his friends proposed
the Davis land company, by which 500
acres of valuable LAND in Prairie and
Woodruff counties, Ark. was capitalized
and placed into stock company, with
shares at SO each, SO that each sub
soriber would receive something in
return for his money, that he
would consent to receive one cent,
and this is the plan upon which money is
now being raised.
Governor Ross at subsequent date
appointed representative citizens all over
the state to solicit in their localities, and
our distinguished fellow citizen Col. R.
w. wynne was the appointee for Fort
Worth. This gentlemen in connection
with our leading citizens, Col. E. w.
Taylor, X. NJ. VsuZandt and NJ. B.
Lloyd, have issued call, which will be
found In this issue, and 1t is expected
and believed that the citizens of Fort
Worth, who always so generously re-
spond to every call, will contribute lib
orally to this relief fund, which COM
mends itself TO every Southern heart,

roR THE SPRING PALACE.

Southeast Texas Journal: The Jour-
nal reporter yesterday received an in
tation to call around at Mr.. Dingle's
shop and take view of piece Of furni-
ture which was being prepared for ex-
hibition at the Spring Palace which opens
at Fort Worth in few days. In COM
pauy with Mr.. R. ID. Bagly, he soon
found himself admiring one of the pref
test pieces of workmanship ever put up
by a mechanic. The piece Of furniture is
something on the order of q saloon bar on
q small scale and Is made of several kinds
of wood which grew IN the county, but
the most attractive is the curly cypress
and curly pine. The workmanship 10
good and much pains and time was taken
in preparing this bar for exhibition. 1t
is finished on both sides and on the front
is set piece of ivory cut in diamond
shape and enoloses piece of wood that
was taken from an old English church,
and is said to be over 400 years old. The
exhibit was put up by Mr.. Gllmer g order
and was sent to Fort Worth to-day.

To the People of Texas:
When 1 announced myself a candidate

ten years. Shortly after that announce
ment 1 was attacked with la grippe,
then an epidemic, and from over-exer-
tion and exposure since 1 have had fire.
quent attacks of rlgor, followed by
fever, which rendered me totally incapa-
Bile for days at time of either mental
or physical sxertion. NY experience on
a recent visit TO Belleville and inability
to speak at Cleburne convinces me that
the hope of overcoming this trouble il
not only delusive, but that my health
will break more and more under the
fatigues and exertions which the cam
Yass demands. have therefore deter
mined to withdraw from the race, and
whilst it pains me to think of the disap-
pointment which know this announce
ment will occasion my friends, feel that
good faith to the people Of the state re-
quires that it be made. In leaving my
friends free to select some other stand
ard-bearer 1 desire to return to them
throughout the state nay sincere thanks
for their devotion anu efforts ia my be-
half, and to express the hope that they
may find a servant more capable and
worthy than myself to direct the des-
TIMES of Texas to grandsr and nobler
civilization. Respectfully,

The word karpos signifies ''fruit. The
word Drama signifies ''Eision. Taking
karp from karpos and placing it before
Drama would give karporama. The rule,
however, says that pi mute before q

the report is officially confirmed. Gov.

BUILDING AND REALTY.
Several Heavy Deals on the Taps for
the Week.
Pres reets for Buildings Of all Descriptions
Work at the Wagon
Factory.

There have been several heavy deals In
real estate reported in THE GAZETTE
lately, but the end Is not yet, for several
more gigantic transactions will be made
public IN the near future. In fact, il is
more than probable that deal amount
ing to $3.50 900 will be given to the public
to-day. Unusual heavy trading in subnr-
ban property is certain TO take place
within the next thirty days and the
buyers OF lots viii, as a rule, build on
the land purchased. The best possible
sign for Fort Worth g continued prosperl-
ty is that prices have not been inflated.
a front foot of ground on any business
street in Fort Worth is worth every dol
lar paid for It; in fact, property is cheap
a; the fl cures given.
Two or three blocks of two and three
story brick or stone buildings on the
principal streets would help the city
very much if they were now in course Of
construction, and 1t is quite likely that q
building era will set in very soon.
Messrs. Byers and Maddox are certain to
build magnificent storehouses on Main
and Houston streets in the next few
months.
1t is placing the number low when IL Is
stated that fully 300 residences, ranging
in price from $3.50 TO SIS 200 will be
erected in Fort Worth and in the suburbs
near by before 1890 has gone. These
figures will have to be revised before
many months If the plans laid down by
several heavy concerns are carried out.

Fort Worth is headquarters for many
things, Panhandle headquarters will be
great addition to the list.
