Dallas News: Although the North
western surveyors have been at work
In Trip county for several weeks. it
Is still quite impractical to state any
thing very definite as to the course
OF the extension, when the road will
be built west from Dallas. The per-
sons in charge Of the survey have been
doing great deal of scouting in va.
rious directions and as a result of
these expeditions there are few To-
calities in Trip county that have not
been filled with some degree of hope.
in contemplation of future railroad
conditions to the west of us.
Just at present the surveyors are
camped near the "Nightpipe" tract,
south of the Red hills, and it seems
quite certain that one of the prelim-
mary lines will cross out into Meyer
county in that vicinity. The line now
being staked out runs just one and
three-fourths miles north of the north
line OF Lamro, bears directly to about
the center of section 10, township 80,
range n, and from that point the d.
lection is just little south of west.
At the point mentioned where the
course of the survey changes from
gently north Of west to gently south
west-near the center of section 49,
there are about 10000 stakes piled and
iris is taken by some to Indicate that
another preliminary will branch from

In 1852. He was noted for the fidelity with
which he discharged his pastoral duties

ings.1
Who is the honest mann
He that doth still and strongly good pur-
sue,
To God. his neighbor. and himself most
true:
Who neither force nor fawning can
Unpin or wrench from giving all their due.
Whose honesty is not
So loose or easy, that a ruffling wind
Can blow away, or glittering look 1t blind:
Who rides his sure and even trot,
While the world now rides by, now lags
behind.
Who, when great trials come,
Nor seeks, nor shuns them, but doth
calmly stay,
Till he the thing and the example weigh;
All being brought into a sum,
What place or person calls for, he doth
pay.
Whom non can work or WOO,
To use In anything a trick, or sleight:
For above all things he abhors deceit:
All or a piece, and all are clear and
straight.
Who never melts or thaws
AT close temptations; when the day Is
done,
His goodness sets not, but in lark car
run
The sun to Others writeth laws,
And Is their virtue; virtue is his sun.
