If there ever was a railroad
that did everything it promised
to. and more, and was perfectly
satisfactory to deal with, that
railroad is the G.. T. Il W. NJ G. S.
Plants and NJ. d. Landlord of
the railroad committee went to
Dallas the latter part of the
week to interview the builders
as to the future progress of the
work. They found conditions to
be all that could be asked for
and have the most encouraging
report to make.
The grading to OIney is being
completed as fast as possible
Our right-of-way committee has
been asked to meet Mr.. Cain this
week down about the Young
county line to see about getting
the way fully cleared for the
grading into Seymour. As soon
as this has been done the build
ers expect to let the contract for
fifteen miles of grading between
here and Olney and to continue
pushing the work with the great
est dispatch until a connection is
made between here and Jacks
boro. 1t is limited at as a posi-
bility that this connection might
be made in time to handle a part
of this years crop.
And this road will not only be
a connecting link between Sey-
mour and Jacksboro. We will
be connected up with Dallas in a
less time than We have given the
railroad to get there. Then when
that much is accomplished the
line will be extended west to a
connection with the Santa Fe on
the plains. When the facts are
known it will be found that we
have much better proposition
than we ever dared to think. -

ELECTION FOR ALDERMAN.
{. H. AckIey Resigns and Election for Success
sur is Ordered by Mayor Haney.

On account of his renovation
the city, Alderman +. H. Ackley
has resigned the aldermanic robe
and the city council has ordered
special election to be hdld on
Saturday. June 26, for the pur-
pose of electing his successor.
AS usual there ism t much inter
est in the matter. at least not up
tothe present date. The only per,
son mentioned so far is Claude
y. Harrison whose name a num-
Der of his friends is bringing for
ward for the place. An effort is
being made to induce Mr.. Har-
riSon to accept the role as one
of the city dads" but he has not
yet decided. 1t is very probable
that his friends will enter his
name whether he indicates that
he will accept or not.
Mr.. Harrison is an old resi-
denter. so far as having lived in
this city is concerned and. being
agood business man, understands
the needs and necessities OF the
position and would no doubt put
into the performance of the du-
ties of alderman, that vim. and
intelligence which he exercises
in the conduct of his own bust
ness.

many years it was much the
finest mansion in what was then
almost the edge of town. But the

the time came when the gener-
ais stately old home had rivals.
Especially was it Overshadowed
by the palace of pork packer.
One evening, as the general was
walking home with a friend, he
was bantered in this manner:
We'll, general, you are quite
thrown into the shade by the

returned General Sherman.

that the pen is mightier than the
