Hart, will begin tomorrow to block up
800 acres on the slope of the hill east of
town, to be sold by the town company
for residence lots. The lots are to be
from four to eight acres each. These lots
will be very desirable, as the location Is
high and commands fine view of the
city. They will be far enough from
town to escape dust and noise aud will
prove great acquisition to the town, as
all the other additions are cut up into
smaillots.

DALLAS. lex, march ~ 4oSv
The farmers mass convention, which
will meet IN this city Saturday, April II
it is expected will bring together large
number of farmers from all over the
state. The call for the convention was
issued BIZ E. A Daniel, president Dallas
County Farmers Alliance, and W. H.
Harris, lecturer Third District State
Grange, and the invitation to attend and
participate in the proceedings is
extended to individual farmers as
well as to the delegates from
oranges and alliances. The dirt road and
the railroad transportation questions will
be the chief topics that will be discussed
and, if possible, settled by the conven-
ton. Concerning the dirt road question,
Mr.. Shaw, the editor of the Texas
Farmer, said yesterday evening to GA
zETTE reporter that the meeting was not
called in opposition to the county COM
missoners' convention, but because
of that convention. The farmers of this
state wanted and were in favor
of better highways but were opposed to
the issuing of bonds to provide fund for
their construction. The meeting of the
commissioners, he says, is prompted by 8
desire in certain quarters to force
bonded system OF dirt roads on the people
and the farmers convention is called to
give emphatic express on the part of the
farmers themselves of their disapproval
OF any scheme to lay upon them an addi-
tioual tax burden in the form of interest
bearing bonds.
Among the speakers will be Col. W.
w. Lang, Hon. A. J Rose, president of
the grange, DR.. Field, president of the
alliance, Col. T. II. Brown of Sherman,
and the candidates for governor aud
other state offices.
In anticipation OF a big crowd prepara-
lions are already being made for the
proper entertainment of the delegates.
"Speaking Of the Farmers conven-
ton that will be held here on Saturday,
April 70, - said Editor Sam H. Dixon of
the Southern Mercury, this afternoon,
cit will be big affair. 1t is, however,
only the lntiatory movement toward the
biggest farmers convention ever held in
the Southwest. There are other Ques-
lions than the dirt road question that the
farmers are interested in. You may say
that the majority of the farmers of Texas
are Democrats, and that they propose
this year as Democrats to take an inter-
est in the selection of the state ticket,
and not only the state ticket, but every
other ticket down to constable. There
will be no third party movement or third
party ticket put in the field. 1 make
this assertion not on my own authority
but on that of the acknowledged leaders
of the third party element in the state. y

was doing. when the latter, taken by
surprise, did not stop to answer, but
took to his heels. He was pursued by a
pistol bullet, which caught up with him
just as he was getting over the fence :.
A cry of pain indicated that he was hit !,
but he kept on running, and made his
escape. This morning blood marks on
