TERRELL. Tex, April 90. - While
Dallas and Rockwell County citizens
are talking for and against the sug.
gested annexation OF Rockwall to
Dallas. citizens Of kaufman County,
through their Commercial Club, are
ready to take steps to induce Rock.
wall County to consider annexation
to Kaufman County. Rockwall was
carved largely from Kaufman. and
Kaufman County people feel that the
two counties might well merge. De
spite the talk OF Rockwall County
joining another county, there Is much
opposition there to losing the indi-
viduality Of their county, and It was
believed here that it was hardly like
ly that in the end Rockwall would
annex to any county.
