mrs. Lyots e. mm«,of lyhh, mass.,
Granbury is expecting the Font
of coarse will be a city. As a first
step towards this important ob-
ject, a mass meeting of the citi-
zens has been called to make the
necessary arrangements to make
it an incorporated city. They had
better go slow in this matter, as
we have known some cities to try
to get rid of their acts of incorpor-
ation.
One precinct in Hood county
wants to try local option, and has
decided to vote on it at an early
day.
From the steps being taken by
the towns and counties along the
line of the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande road, it seems they are
beginning to recognize that it takes
something else besides grumbling
to build a railroad. They are put-
ting tliQir shoulders to the wheel
and working with a will.
We will bet our last summer’s
duster, that there are at least fiitv
towns and cities in Texas which
are now anxiously expecting a
railroad. We hope they may get
all they expect, and more too.
The Dallas Times wants the
Democrat to make another map
to show that the St. Louis and
San Francisco road is not coming
to Dallas. Just wait a while, and
you may find it out without a map.
As much talk as there was about
a top crop of cotton, it seems now
it is going to prove a failure. This
is just as we expected. During a
residence of over thirty years in
the State, the writer has never
known a top crop toamcuntto
much.
The work on the Missouri
Pacific depot, side tracks, etc., at
Waco, is being pushed forward
rapidly. They want it completed
when the road gets there, which
will be in a short time.
The business of the Hillsboro
Mirror has increased to such an
extent, that it has found it necces-
sary to purchase a power press,
It affords us pleasure to note such
evidences of prosperity in our ex-
changes.
The trial of Lieut. Flipper, at
Fort Davis, is dragging its slow
length along. From present indi-
cations it seems doubtful whether
Flipper, or his accuser, Ool. Shat-
ter, will be found guilty.
The city of Brenham has form-
ally offered its hospitalities to
Secretary Blaine, who is expected
to visit Texas during the winter.
Washington county is Republican,
and Blaine might on that account
want to visit it. But the city of
Brenham is Democratic, and he
might not on that account want to
visit it,
The Colored Baptist State Con-
vention met in Bryan last week.
Forty churches were represented.
Architect Clayton, of Galveston,
has been employed to examine the
new blind asylum at Austin, about
which, complaint was made some
time since. It is claimed that he
will report that the work was done
according to contract.
Many of our exchanges are urg-
ing the necessity of having the re-
maining State buiidiugs at. Austin
insured. No doubt it should be
done, bat we doubt whether the
Governor or anyone else has au-
thority to do it, before the Legis-
lature meets. Perhaps steps will
be taken then to have it done—-if
the buildings are not burned be-
fore that time.
The changes in the Denison Dem-
ocrat for the past few weeks have
been more frequent than those, of
the moon. It is now under the
management of Judge Wood, and
he is making a right good paper
out of it.
Be high your aim, then it you mis?,
Your consolation comes with this :
It I did miss, f missed the sun,
And so have made a prouder one.
Be not discouraged; work away;
Worlds are not builded in a day;
Though clouds enwrap you far and wide,
There s sunshine on the other side.
The needle whose magnetic soul
Forever searches lor the pole,—
Even this will vary. Judge ye, then.
If constacy can dvVell with men.
Perhaps the storm may by its force
Compel a little change from course ;
Yet change with care, and when you can,
Resume your “on, straight on’: again.

GUR BUSINESS DIRECTORY
That well known caterer, P. Michou,
has opened a neat, new and cosy restau-
rant on the east side of Main street, one
door north of the Pythian Temple, where
he is prepared to serve the public with the
delicacies of the season. He invites a
trial and a share of the public patron-
age, guaranteeing satisfaction. 10-20-tf.

County Commissioners Court.
Met at the usu il hour yesterday, and
transacted the following business:
Petition for change in Bird vide and
Dallas road running to Red Sulphur
Springs, dismissed.
Petition for opening a third-class road
between Wheeler’s mill and Widow Wil-
liam’s property, continued for report of
jury.
Petition for change in Double Springs
road, running west, continued.
Petition to open a second-class road
between Fowler’s Store and McGee’s
Crossing; report of jury set aside on ac-
count of informality, and same jury
ordered to make complete report at next
term of the court.
Petition of E. W. Ferguson et al. for a
road between Johnson Station road and
Birdyille and Dallas road; continued for
report of jury.
Petition ol T. A. Dunlap et al. for the
opening of a road from a point on the
Fort Worth and Weatherford road to
Benbrook Station; report of view quashed
and a jury composed of C. II. Borden, E.
C. D. Wilburn, Jas. P. Huffaker, B, F.
Richards and J. C. Miller, appointed to
nuke and lay out road, prayed for in
petition.
Petition lor change in the Elizabethtown
and Little Fossil Creek road, continued
lor report of jury, and clerk ordered to
re-issue appointment of jury of view.
Application of A. J. Looper et al. for
change in the Grapevine and McKinney
road dismissed on account of its being
same road as prayed for by other parties
and previously established.
Petition for change in the Dallas.Smith-
field and Salem Church road, submitted
to the following jury of view for report—
G. II. Hightower, W. H. Meacham, O.
Rum held, J. H. Hazzard and A. J. Gar-
rett.
Petition for change in the Johnson
Station and Grapevine road granted, and
the overseer ordered to open and work
the road.
Thus far the court has considered the
matter ot changing some eighteen differ-
ent roads, and there are still four cases on
the docket. From this it might be in-
ferred that the roads in Tarrant county
were about as stable as the wind.
Among other road matters attended to
was the appointment of Frank Benning
as overseer on the Fort Worth and Gran-
bury road, from the forks of the road near
Van Zandt’s piace to Dutch Creek, vice
Chas. Baggett, resigned.
Also, Joe Davis. Jr., as overseer on the
Fort Worth and Parien store road, from
Bear Creek to I. L. Brown’s, vice C. L.
Tyner, resigned.
Thos. E. Cross was granted a land cer-
tificate tor 1,280 acres, and the court ad
journed until to-day, when it will wrestle
with some more roads, and probably pass
upon some accounts.
Something New.
The readers of the Democrat will be
gratified to learn that that enterprising
public caterer, Mr. E. Kuhn, has com-
pleted arrangements to supply the trade
in this city with a superior article of pure
and fresh beer, from the well known
brewery ot Anthony & Kuhn, of St.
Louis. He is prepared to furnish this
celebrated beer in any quantity desired,
from a keg to a car load, and will deliver
it to any part ot the city. In introducing
this beer into this market, Mr. Kuhn
would respectfully ask that liberal sup-
porta nd patronage which the merits of
his goods will entitle him to, guarantee-
ing satisfaction in all cases.

—Edison, the great inventor, is
very deaf, it is said, and has never
heard*the music ot his wonderful
invention for transmitting .sound.
The telephone and phonograph
only speak to their inventor
through science. He says: “I
have never heard the voice of my
inventions. I am .like an artist
who draws in the darkness; but 1
know the principle, and the result
must come out right.” The same
was the ease with Beethoven. II •
could not hear the sweet strains
from his own instrument, that en-
tranced others and secured him a
world-wide reputation.
Led Astray by the Best Authority .
It■ matters nor, how careful mortal re-
porters are, they are sometimes led astray
by what seems to be the best authority.
For instance, the Democrat has been
called to account for the announcement
made yesterday, that Monday was fast
day for the Presbyterians. It seems the
fast is to be Thursday December 8th.
The reporter made the announcement
upon this authority : First, we saw a no-
tice of it in the Christian Observer, the
recognize:] organ of the church. And
then vve heard Rev. Dr. George make the
announcement Irom his pulpit on Sunday
November 6th. No w we leave it to our
readers it tins would not be considered
first-rate authority. However, as we
made the announcement after the fast, we
suppose no one fasted on account of it,
and hence no material damage has b len
done.

Office of the Fort Worth and Den-j
Jay Gould’s Financier.
A few weeks ago a stranger arrived in
our city who said he had “bad the honor
of travelling hither with Jay Gould’s
financier.” Of course our curiosity was
excited, and we were desirous ot seeing
the man who manipulated Gould’s mil-
lions, and asked to have him pointed out.
The gentleman cheerfully complied, and
designated the distitigui lied individual.
When the crowd recognized the ex-hash
slinger of the third ward, the smile that
spread over the party could have been
heard a whole block. But it, didn’t fase
Ch tries—he looked as pompous as a tur-
