Fort Worth their home. This is also
true of oiir,"ueighbonng cities and
towns. Flow to get rid of them is the
great question unanswered. Ever since
the completion of the T. & P., we have
been in tested with this species of the
human family, greatly to the annoyance
of the citizens and to the discredit of
the city.
A Democrat reporter in his regular
mid-night stroll last night, counted fif-
teen of those pests in tdur saloons cn
Main street, lounging about or sleep-
ing on the soft side ot a plank.
They don’t want work—they pro-
pose to live without labor. They pay
no board or lodging bills, for they prey
upon free lunches and sleep in sheds
and in people’s back yards. The
saloons which keep open all night af-
ford many ot them a resting place.
They sleep in chairs or coil upon the
tables and snore away the hours ©f
darkness. Many ot them are too lazy
to steal, though some of this class fre-
quent sleeping apartments and pick up
little things or what loose change they
may find.
Tlu re ought to be some means of ex-
terminating the tungus known as the
chronic tramp, but as there is not,
neither is there likely to be. the or-
dinance of the city regarding vagrants
should be rigidly enforced. There is
lots of street work necessary to be
done; and this seems an excellent op-
portunity to utilize tiie tramps to do
the work. Let them work on the
streets, or leave the city.
Around Town.
Somebody start a fire ; give the Pan-
ther a chance.
The young ladies “Half and Half”
club convened yesterday in secret ses-
sion to organize. The residence of the
Misses Anderson, on 5th street, is the
place of meeting.
Captain Dowling has resigned his
position of captain in the Tan ant
Rifles. He is superseded by Lieut. R,
E. Maddox. IV. J. Miller steps in to
ihe First Lieutentancy, and J. G. Hub-
bell was elected Second Lieutenant.

One hundred people in Rusk county
were tied in to fifty knots last month.-
Texarkana has ten widows and
several hundred other females who
would be better off to be.
G. Patou of Weatherford offers to
run any man in the State one-half mile,
at any place mutually agreed to for $100.
“The Clarksville Times publishes
oneJ. W. Wbeaten as a fraud and a
dead-beat. “Said Wheaten is agent for
“Diamond Oil,” and skipped out from
Clarksville without paying his bills.”
The Austin Statesman calls the Dallas
Herald “a trained journalist;” and the
Herald calls the Statesman an “-accom-
plished journalist.” How we Throck-
morton apples do swim.
“L. B. Below has discovered what he
thinks to be a prretty good article of
stone coal, on Brushy Creek is Panola
county. The vein is 27 inches thick
and from four to thirteen feet under the
surface.”
Farmers in Washington county are
paying $1.25 per hundred to cotton
pickers, and are selling it in the seed at
one and a half cents a pound. At that
rate how long will it take to bankrupt
the cotton planters.
The Dallas Herald says of the Dallas
and Wichita £so called): “We don’t
know asingle capitalist, other than Dr.
Plied, who would be dunce enough to
put a dollar in the enterprise.” Sensi-
ble people have known all along it was
a fool’s scheme, but this is rather an un-
gracious reference to the man who lias
put his money in an impracticable rail-
road scheme to aid an ambitious and
selfish town.

JOB OFFICE,
Of the famous “Premium” Peters colony
lands through which it will pass, which com-
prise 3,400 tracts each of 320 acres, selected
twenty-live years ago, title perfect. These
lands are in the coal and copper belt, and of
the most choice in Young. Stephens, Throck-
morton and adjoining counties, a beautitul,
pleasant and remarkably healthy region, un-
rivaled for all kinds of stock, and thus far by
test not surpassed in production of wheat,
Parley, oats, corn, cotton, etc., and exempt
Uom grain-weevil and stock flies which pre-
vail south of latitude 31 1-2 degrees.
CHARACTER OF POPULATION.
Its people are mostly from the old States, of
a sober, Indus trim* and intelligent class, and
alive to the importance of morals, general
improvement and progress and enforcement
of the laws, which are rigidly executed.
PROGRESS.
Three and a half years ago, in the whole re-
gion west of Parker and Jack counties, theie
was not exceeding 100 stock-raisers and a
score*of fanners, both have steadily increased
until to date (September 1877) the population
may safely be estimated at 20,000, and likely
u ill reach 40,000 by tlie end of the current
year.
YOUNG COUNTY.
Has about eight-tenths arable land ; three-
fifths prairie, two-fifths timber, rich friable,
chocolate, mahogony and gray soils. About
100 miles front on the Alain, and 20 miles cm
die Clear Fork of Brazos river. Superior
quarries of stone, brick and fire clays,
salines, iron and copper prevail, and coai in
great abundance. The rougher part is the
souL'i-east portion. Population now, Sep-
tember 1877,.about 6,000, and rapidly in-
creasing.
GRAHAM
The county seat, is handsomely laid out on
beautiful grounds, with most attractive sur-
roundings on snrvev ot Texas A Pacific Rail-
way, 85 miles from Fort Worth. Though
scarcely two years old it has now, September
1877, about600 inhabitants, andfast increasing
with an ;enterprisiug, thrifty and intelligent
class of people, the equal ot any town in or
out of the State. It has a cotton gin, saw
mill, flouring mill, three blacksmith shops,
one gun and machine shop, one tin shop,
eleven stores, county aud telegraph offices,
one newspaper, the Graham Leader, two
schools, a Prssbyterian and a Methodist
church, and likely soon will have a Baptist
and Episcopal chiirch, etc. This solid growth,
attained with a proper distance from older
large towns with like position to the West
and surrounding country, which made Waco,*
Sherman and Fort Worth, assures ample sus-
taining influences and ressurces for its growth
and trade corresponding with the settle-
ment and growth of the country West.
Another flouring mill and hotel is badly
needed, also tannery, pottery and other
branches not fully represented. Here are

THE OPPORTUNE TIME.
Is now—for the purchase of lands, the chance
of first selections at lowest prices, with cer-
tainty that by the time farms and ranches can
he put in good working order, the convenience
of rapid and cheap freights will he secured

cific; also the Waco and Northwestern and
Galveston and Denver railroads, which will
passthrough this region. Meantime a de-
mand for all products of the farm from the
military posts, hunters and immigrants, at
twice to three times the prices that obtained
in the old counties.
