Two Benefits.
W e learn that Mr. Will C. Burton,
tire energetic and liberal manager of
the Comique, takes a benefit Friday
evening. On the same evening the
Panthers have a benefit at the Centen-
nial, The latter was first announced
for Saturday evening, and has been
changed since Burton’s benefit was an-
nounced. This is to be regretted in as
much as Mr. Burton has been very lib-
eral with the firemen, in giving them
benefits, and many will feel a natural
desire to attend both exhibitions. We
would be glad to see this matter ar-
ranged so that there maybe ne conflict
of interests. Mr. Burton’s liberality to
the firemen, would saem to entitle him
to some consideration at their hands.
Gold Dust.
The largest sack of gold dust ever
seen in one place, is standing near our
desk as wo write. It is in an ordinary
flour sack, and is branded “Noveltv
Mills ; Gold dust flour from Wamsley
& Seliorn Bros.” These mills are
rapidly earning an enviable reputation
for their brands of flour, at the head of
which stands the “Gold Dust.” Gen-
tleman accept our thahks and best
wishes. May the “Gold Dust” prove
a gold mine to you,'
Run Away.
Yesterday evening there was a tre-
mendous rush on Weatherford street,
caused by a horse running off'with a
light wagon. Too much car.not be
said of the energy, get-up-and-get of
’the animal. He produced more gen-
uine excitement than a little. He is a
live member of the community, and
handles his hind walkers with unusual
skill. He started in the Open square?
barely missed running over several
parties, and just succeeded in over-
turning the wagon when his career was
checked. No serious damage done.

Po tal Cards.
The-postoffice authorities collect five
cents on the delivery of every postal
card passing through the mails which
contains on the printed side anything
whatever except the address. This is
not widely known, but there is no re-
dress, unless we refuse to pay and
bring suit aginst the Postmaster for de
tabling the card. The red-tape twist
under which the exaction is defended
is wholly indefensible. The Journal of
Commerce hopes that this will be gen-
erally published, that the people may
take notice of the regulation.
Cotton.
The cotton market experienced a rise
yesterday of from j- to £ cent on the
pound. The square was absolutely
packed with the fleecy product, which
was selling readily at 8J- to 9 cents.
—Go to Streeper’s and if you
don’t see what you want, ask for if.
—Work was commenced on
the gas works yesterday, and the Board
of Directors have called for an assess-
ment of ten per cent., payable to-day.
Come up promptly gentlemen, and
lets have gas before the dark, rainy
nights commence in good earnest.
—Just diagonally across the
street from the Democrat office is Ti-
voli Hall, where you can get a good
square meal, which Kusssatz calls lunch,
for nothing, and a glass of fresh beer
for a dime. Who wouldn’t live cheap
when you live so well.
—We call the attention of our
readers to the card of Dr. Phillips,
which appears in to-day’s issue. Dr.
Phillips is a physician of no ordinary
merit, and a gentleman of pleasing
manner and address. He is highly
recommended by those who have had
the benefit of his professional services.
—We accidentally overheard
a little Miss of teu or twelve years
while on her way to school, mumbling
to herself, “a noun is the name of a per-
son. place or thing—and it any of the
girl- have hooked that apple from my
desk, I’il raise cane with the whole
school.”
—We direct the attention of
our readers to the card of S. P. Morison
& Co., in the local columns of this
—Wheat is coming in more
freely, and sells readily at 85 to 95c.
—W. D. Scogin, representing
a New York clothing house, is in the
city.
—J. H. Mitchell will try the
slight of his wrist on the front of our
new ofi ei soon.
—Streeper’s is the place to
buy good furniture, and lots of it for a
very small sum of money.
—One case in the Mayor’s
court yesterday, of disorderly conduct.
The defendant was acquitted.
—City Attorney Fields will
kave an “extra” room in the Solon
building, on Houston street.
—Mr. Mason has just com-
menced a new store on Houston strei t,
a (joining tliat“of Porter & Furgison.
The dimensions will be 24 by 80, and
vv en completed will he occupied by
him as a furniture store.
—-The amount of cotton and
grain now coming to this market is suf-
ficient to encourage the merchants and
business men of the city. The amount
is daily increasing and the scope of
country from which it comes is con-
tinually and gradually widening. It
already comes from remote points, far
beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine. Continued efforts should he
made to extend the trade. This will
be the object of the organization to-
I morrow evening.

than three years they have maintained
an organizttiou under the most trying
circumstance. Having lost everything
by the fire that distroyed the Court
House, they went to work with renew-
ed energy, and have purchased a good
lot, have the lumber for a church on
the ground, all paid for, and the con-
tract let for its construction. The la-
dies who have been largely instrumen-
tal in the accomplishment of this work
wall give an entertainment in Peak’s
hall to-morrow evening, for the pur-
pose of adding to the large sums al-
ready contributed by them to the
church fund. Their skill as hosteses
lias been attested on former occasions,
and we trust they will be seconded in
their efforts on this occasion by a gen-
erous patronage. We can assure the
public of'a good time, and ample com-
pensation for the time and money in-
vested.
TRIUMPHANT STILL I
chants’ Despatch Transportation Com-
pany, is at the Trans-Continental Hotel.
—Capt. Read has been absent
from the eitv for several days, visiting
acquaintances in Henrietta. He is ex-
pected home Friday.
—■Furniture, qneensware, hol-
low ware, willow ware, wooden ware,
at the lowest living rate at Streeper’s.
— Wrn. J. Crozier has resigned
as deputy sheriff, and has been appoin -
ed constable of Prect. No. 1, by county
commissioners court.
— Want & Hartisfield continue
to fill orders for theic fine candies from
the towns and cities in the intertor.
Theirs is die very best, and that’s why
it sells so well.
—Dahlnian Bros, will occupy
tlieir new, handsome and commodious
store on Houston street, corner of Fiis .
in a few days more, where their man -
moth stock will show to greater ad-
vantage.
Since the above was in type they
have moved.
— Streeper sells furniture
cheaper than any house in Northern
Texas. More furniture and better fur-
niture for the money, than anybody.
Go and examine it. Seeing is believing.
—The insurance agency o
R. West Starr is in the business office
of the Democrat. He represents a fine
lino of companies. If you want to
sleep comfortably during the winter
months, when fires are most frequent
and disastrous, call and secure a policy
iu some one of the reliable companies
he represents.
—B. S. Brown, tin most ae
complished and ingeaious artificer in
wood, whose place of business is on
Second street, corner of Throckmorton,
is the artist who did a fine piece of
work for the Democrat’s new Office,
and will do some more before long.
We advise our readers who want a fine
piece of work executed, to call and see
Brown.
—We had the pleasure of a
call yesterday evening from Elder
John A. Sidener, of Kentucky, who is
preaching at the Christian ehurcli. On
Monday evening, Mrs. McCIung pro-,
fessed religion, under his ministration,
and was baptized yesterday evening.
We hope Mr. Sidener’s labors in our
midst may be successful in bringing
many to God.
— To-day is the much dreaded
first day of the month—the dav when
the bill collector is on the war-path—
tiie day the bacon and sugar we have
eaten during the past month, the
clothes we have worn, the cigars we
have smoked, the drinks we have drunk,
the houses that have sheltered us, and
all the other necessities and luxuries,
must be paid for. “Ah, me!” sighs
the luckless wight who lias to ante to-
day, “if it wasn’t for the out-go, my in-
come would be ample.”
—The King of Fiji is mad.
It appears that he has been pleased by
the conduct of the British Missionaries,
lie admires the pictures in the tracts,
and thinks the best missionary society
is that of the London mission. He has
accordingly desired to send to Dr. Mul-
lins, the head of this mission, some
