DALLAS. TEX, March s. 1880. }
The marriage of Mr.. Munford of Fort
Worth TO Miss Pfouts OF Dallas, which
occurred last night, with several other
Dallas Fort Worth episodes of the kind
which have recently taken place or are
no" IN contemplation, has excited social
circles here until the result may be a
Dallas young lady Is for Dallas-until
she marries'a Fort Worth. young man.
She talks for Dallas 6rst, last and all the
time, and her bright eyes and rosy cheeks
are the best advertisement we have.
even If she should decide to remain
quiet. But let her marry O man
from the Fort and 1t Is wonder
full TO notice how readily she
is converted. Il will not as
tonish many of us if the very young la
dies who were so Clamorous for high
protective tariff TO keep out Fort Worth
dudes, az a female committee meeting
which convened on ErVay street last
night, were preaching with the Fort for
text within month. But this may
not happen, as the convention to stop
this business will have met and done its
work before April fools nybody. One
of the young ladies at last nights meet
ing referred 70 your city as a thief, al
ways ready to steal cur population. She
said: off they keep spiriting us away
TO their town it will certainly
grow to be as large as Dallas. -
The committee met 10 provide ways and
means Of prevention. as well as redress,
and decided to hold a mnss-ineeting of
Dallas feminine loneliness and 20 have all
the acceptable beaux of Dallas occupy
seats in the peanut gallery, so that they
may see and avoid the pending danger.
The question for discussion was formu-
lated, after which it was boiled down TO
TO satisfactory concentration and then
announced. 1t is thus: "Shail We
Fortify?'
It resolves that we shall, but of course
il is put that way not because
we want to, but to get it In
proper form for discussion. Now
II may be that limited number of Fort
Worth beauX, the docile and domestic
young fellows, may be permitted to peep
in at the keyhole, but they will not DO
allowed to enter the peanut gallery and
thus break UP the matinee in a row.
Every time the Fort takes away one of
our young ladies she Injuries our real es-
tate business.
It may be well to add that there was a
young widow present at that committee
meeting last night and that she took a
leading part in the proceedings. The
young ladies insisted that the word ''for-
tify' meant that we must intrench be-
hind our works and keep out the aggres-
sor. The young widow construed it other
wise, and thought that others might do
likewise. She said that to "fortify'
meant 20 seek the Fort, and that that is
just what so many of us have done or are
about 70 do. "But, - she added, "let
the question stand as it is and let each
Dallas girl place her own construction
upon the term. II she wants TO fortify,
let her fortify, or, if she prefers TO For
tify, why let her Fortify.' That set
tied 1t. A young Dallas widow always
settles It.
