*—Paint is being applied to
interior of the city hall. The building
will be completed within the time
specified by the contract.
—The proceeds of the Meth-
odist concert will be applied to the pur-
pose of finishing oft the interior of the
church, 'l'he walls require painting
and new seats are greatiy needed.
—Mr. John A. Knight at-
tempted to lasso a man yesterday
evening, at full speed. Just lie was
about to . throw the rope his horse
slipped and the rider got a fall, but was
not injured.
— Street cars off the track
again yesterday. That little mule is no
doubt crazy. Never gets off except in
fron* of the Local Option Saloon.
Whether he wants whiskey, or wants
to kick the hind siyhts off of Gus is not
■ yet settled. Look out for him, Gus.
—Drs. Ashford, Fields and
Dunn, performed a painful surgical op-
perafion yesterday evening, in the of-
fice of Dr. Ashford, at the Clark House,
on the person of Master Frankie Ben-
ndtt, extracting a dead bone from the
joint of his right shoulder. He is do-
ing finely at tjjis writing.
—Mr. W. W. Bobo, W. B.
Tucker, J. D. Parker and D. M. Davis,
were appointed by the commissioner’s
court yesterday to lay out a public road
just west of .Birdv'lle, running north
and south. This road has long been
needed by the farmers in this section of
the county, and the Democrat is
pleased to note the fact that these steps
have been taken to supply the want.
—A party of Northern gen-
tlemen will leave Fort Worth for Clay,
Archer and Wichita counties next
Monday, to look|at and purchase lands
adapted to the settlement of a colony.
They go out under the direction of
Messrs. Lawrence.& Frost, of this city,
who have immense quantities of lands
in those counties for sale. Ard this
reminds us that Fort Worth is the
proper point to outfit for the Wichita
country, and not Shenman as has been
generally supposed.
—The unusually severe win-
ter will do much to stimulate emigra-
tion from the colder States of the North
to the milder climate of the South. The
flow of population into Texas will ol
course continue, and we hear of much
intended movement into the middle
belt of Southern States by those who
do not wish to encounter the semi-
tropical climate of this latitude. All of
these need furniture, and they are ad-
vised that the'placc to get the most for
the least money, is at the corner of
Houston and Second streets. . Strecper
has it.
Divide the City into Wards.
The time has come when the city
should be divided into wards. The eitv
charter as is Usual, distinctly provides
that sucli a division of the city shall be
made when necessary. The recent
rapid growth of the city, its present
population, and the serttering condi-
tion ot the houses throughout the cor-
porate limits, is sufficient alone to justi-
fy this division. The charter further re-
quires that each ward shall be represen-
ted by two aldermen—who will natur-
ally look after, and defend the interests
of the wards they represent, and thus
each section of the city, will be equally
represented in the municipal govern-
ment of the city. This would make an
addition of one or more aldermen to the
city council, the Mayor having the de-
ciding vote in questions where a tie oc-
curs.
Main and Tenth streets would almost
equally divide the city into the three
well proportioned wards required. All
west of Main and north of west of
Tenth, could construct the first ward ;
all east of Main, and north ol east
Tenth, the second ward ; and all that
part of the city south of Tenth street,
would make up the third ward. We
have no doubt but that this division
would meet the approbation of all, and
it would be well for the council to take
the matter into consideration, and act
thereon, before the election, next April.
Personal.
We were pleased to meet Gapt. Jas-
per Hays, at the Trans-Continental ho-
tel yesterday evening, and to make the
acquaintance ofjhis charming and agree-
able wife. The Capt. stole a march on
his friends, in getting married without
tlieir knowledge, but they will all con-
gratulate him in his choice, and
the wise step lie has taken.
Mere Dots.
The commissioner’s court transacted
a good deal of business yesterday.
The Trans-Continental crowded and
jammed as usual.
Mr. HijHuek, left on the 4:30 train for
Dallas, on bis usual visitation,
Mr. and Mrs. Fairfax, the agreeable
host and hostess of the Trans-Contiuen-
tol, pay Dallas a visit to-day.
Mayor's Court.
LOCAL OPTION.
The Democrat’s Advice Accepted.
And the Petition Withdrawn.
The advice tendered by the Demo-
crat and the reasons given tlieretor,
like good seed, fell in good ground,|and
yesterday, several of the signers of the
‘•Local Option” petition, presented a
petition to the Commissioner's Court,
asking that their names be stricken
from the petition, as they were con-
vinced that it was not advisable at this
time to present the question to the peo-
ple.
This action on the part of these gen-
tlemen is commended by some of the
most ardent temperance men in the
county, who had come to yievv the
question in the light in which it has
been presented by the Democrat. They
are commended for their liberal views,
for their sense of justice, for their good
judgment, and tor their candor, in
yielding to the arguments* addaessed to
them. The Democrat trusts that the
question maf not be agitated again,
until we have the light and experience
of <rther counties as our guide.
A CANING.
And
a Handsome, Gold-Headed Cane,
Too.
Its Graceful Reception by a Railroad
Official.
Yesterday evening, upon the arrival
of the eastern train, Conductor L. S.
Thorne stepped from the ear with a
massive ebony gold-beaded cane in his
hand; he was soon surrounded by the
officers, attachees and employees of the
Texas and Pacific Railroad, who were
present or within convenient distances,
who, with a few invited friends, pto-
ceeded at once to the business office ot
L. J. Swingly, the agent at this place,
and the aforesaid cane was then
and there presented him by Capt. B.
B. Paddock, who, in a few brief sen-
tences, expressed the sentiments and
thoughts of the friends who presented
him the cane. Capt. Swingley was
completely surprised at receiving this
token of esteem from his co-laborers
and friende, and was visibly affected
with emotion. His expressions of
thanks to the “boys” was evidently
heart felt and sincere.
The cane bears the following inscrip-
tion : “To L. J. Swingley, as a token
of esteem by his R. R. friends of Fort
Worth, January 29,1877,” and was pur-
chased by L. S. Thorne,M. C. Meehan,
G. B. Hendricks, J. II. Ryan, Frank
Brown, George Maurice, B. F. Switm-
ley, Zack Reese and A. L. E. Hurd. T’We
cane is elegant and costly, and none
would grace it more than Capt. Swing-
Icy.

And a William Angel at That.
Its seldom that an angel, a full grown
full-fledged angel goes into die bell
business. Harps are ibeir favorite arti-
cle of traffic, according- to our observa-
tion. But a Comanche county angel
a William Angel—had a chronic case ot
kleptomania, and the consequence was
the bells of his neighbors’ horses, cows,
sheep and goats came home missing.
Some boys tound the bells at Angel’s,
and the officers “pulled” him. His
friends went on his bond-, but he “jump-
ed the bounty,” and left His sureties to
pay the penalty for reposing confidence
in him. Deputy sheriff R. T. Childs,
was passing through town yesterday
evening, and discovered 1ns Angelic ac-
quaintance near the lumber yard ot
Cowen & Bassett, and obtaining the
services of Sheriff Henderson, had him
arrested—and now there are none
found to sing, I want to be an aimel
and with this Angel stand. °
Meeting ofihe City Council.
The city council held its regular
meeting in the “Mayor’s office last
night. Mayor Day, aldermen Daggett,
Huffman, Bowdry, Pendery and Nich-
ols were present, Marshal Courtright,
and his honor, Mayor Day, were ap-
pointed as a committee to select a suit-
able uniform for the city police force.
The salary of each policeman evas
raised to $50 per month,"' they to fur-
nish and buy their own suifg. .
An ordinance establishing tire limits
was passed.
Jas. Kane was allowed $500 upon his
contract, for building the city'hall.
A committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the propriety of repairing Bel-
knap street.
A numbel of bills were allowed and
the council adjourned.
Mistakes will Happen.
People say that they shell peas when
they un shell iliem : that they husk corn
when they wn-husk it; that they dust
the furniture-when they im-dust or take
the dust from it; that tliey skin a call
when they zm-skin it; and that they
scale tishes when they wa-scale them. 1
have heard many men say they were
going to weed their gardens when I
thought their gardens were weedy
enough already. These are very natur-
al mistakes—but no one makes a mis-
take, when the buys his liquors and
Editor Democrat:—We leave Ste-
phensville, carrying with us pleasant
recollections of bavin" met with a class
of people, generous, energetic and
prosperous. A pleasant drive through
some fine country, and we find our-
selves in Comanche. This is a grow-
ing place of about nine hundred inhabi-
tants, surrounded with good farming
lands. A good night’s rest and we
start for Port Concho, Brown county
is rapidly settling, .both in the county,
and the county seat, Brownwood,
which is about the same in size as Com-
amche. Land in this county can be
bought for $125 to $2 75 per acre.
Water good, and quite as plentiful as
in the various counties through which
we have passed.
The eastern portiomof Coleman coun-
ty is a tail- producing section, but the
greater portion of the lands between
Colemlui and Fort Concho, is better
adapted to grazing. Many large herds
are feeding in sight of the stage line.
We hasten on to Concho, where a scene
greets pur our eyes sublimely beautiful.
Away up upon this broad plateau fom
thousand feet above the level of the sea
we stand and look in wonder. Toward
the setting sun, rise majestically peak
aftes peak of mountains, liehly robed
in green and brown, between which we
gaze at the clouds, far beyond, so
beautifully tinted with the bright rays
of the departing sun. Close to our feet
ripple the blue, clear waters of the Con-
cho, rolling along with tlieir murmnr-
ing.song, mingling with the music of
tiie birds, which chirp in the trees
fringing either bank, or whistling on
the grassy platte, which but a few
years ago was trodden only by the foot
of the “red man” as he chased (with
glee) the antelope, the buffaloaud the
deer. The Indian sadly views the
town growing upon his once much
loved hunting grouuds. The beautiful
landscape has no more charms for him.
The buffalo are being chased and
slaughtered by the white man. The
burial place of his forefathers is no
more. The tree that he planted over
their grave is goue ; the whoop ot this
wild huntsman has died away, and the
sound of the cannon now echoes from
hill to hill instead.
The beating of the drum and the
notes of the bugle diWn the rising
thoughts 'and sympathy lor the poor
lone Indian, and awakens us to a real-
ization of the fact that the hunting-
grounds .of the man of the. forest grows
less with the return of eafyn spring, and
a great civilization is moving nearer
1 and nearer the western sea,,
We are informed by Mr. Milspaugn,
post trader here,^ that the commander
of this post is laboring to change the
line of transportation to Fort Concho
via Fort Worth. The reasons assigned
for this change is, that it more of a di-
rect line, and the country through
which this line passes, is more fertile,
and therelore more . inviting to emi-
grants than the present route via San
Antonio.
The buffalo here are being killed
very rapidly, several * thousand men
are now engaged in the business. From
this place we return to Brownwood.
where we turn off from this line for the
South. Arrived fit San Saba, and find
this a good section of country, but mail
routes are not good enough to gain
many subscribers tor the'’Democrat.
There is no county in which we have
been that is so well watered as San
Saba. The cro s are about the same as
in Eratli county, population 800. coun-
ty 4000. c. E, J.

CITY ELECTION.
Announcements.

A Few Words to the Business Men of
Fort Worth.
The time has come when^the advan-
tages of our city should became more
generally k«own in order that they
may be more fully appreciated.
To attain this very desi.iable object,
the Democrat proposes to commence
the publication of
FortWorth Trade Guide and Business
Directory
the first edition of which will be issued
about the tirst'day of March next, and
regularly thereafter of the first days ot
March and September.
It is proposed in the first number of
this publication to give 1st, a succinct
and careful review of the growth and
development of the city, and some of
the reasons why it should continue to
grow and develop year alter year until
it has no cominercial*rival in the inter-
ior of the State. 2d. The name and
style of every business or profession in
the city. 3d, Such tables, business
forms and data as will make it a useful
book of reference and utility to every
man into whose hands it shall come.
It wiil contain Tables of weights and
Measures, Rules for measuring Land,
Grain in bulk, fable of Distance Busi-
ness and Legal forms in ordinary use,
Railroad Directory, Postal Rates, Po-
litical Statistics, and other matter which
will induce every farmer, mechanic,
tradesman or professional man to pre-
serve the book.
4lie first edition will number five
thousand copies, and a liberal num-
ber will be given to each of its patrons.
It is our earnest desire to have every
biisiness and profession in the city rep-
resented in the first number. ■
