say anything against, the other young

We clip 1 lie following from the Cape
Girardieu democrat of the 18th instant:
“Mr. Joe Hays returned from Texas on
the 13th instant, just in time to see Cooper
Craeratt launched from single cussedness
to connubial blessedness. He (-foe) tar-
ried only a few moments in this city, be-
fore rushing on to Jackson in the face of
a rising wind and falling mercury. Won
der if the scene at the altar brought pleas-
ant dreams of another scene to be enact' d
with Joe as a central figure, had anything
to do with his haste, or was it business,
and is Joe going to dry up in the musty
pursuit of business ?”
After a fellow has passed nearly half the
day fun day morning, washing himself,
blacking his boots, brushing his clothes
and hat, combing tus straight hair, curling
and twitching his moustache, and then at
the last sprinkle ot the moment to go to
church sits on the edge of his bed to yank
on bis socks and runs his major toe about
halt a fort through the gable end of that
infernal garment, he has a perfect right
to say tam-n-a-a-t on, but no business at
church. He had better stay right there.
His perforated sock will be a gentle re-
minder to keep the Sabbath hole-y.
t'npt. Jatrses Ficlfls.
The name ot Capt. James Fields has
been presented to Gov. Roberts by the
bar and a large number ot our business
men, for appointment to the office of
judge of the twenty-ninth judicial dis-
trict, which has just been created by the
legislature and which includes Tarrant,
Parker and Jack counties. A meeting of
the bar was held in the courthouse on
Monday, and Capt. Fields was declared
their unanimous choice for this position.
Mr. F. W. Ball and Mr. Sam Furman left
town for Austin yesterday afternoon, to
urge upon Gov. Roberts Mr. Fields’ ap-
pointment. When it is considered that
about three-fifths of die legal business of
the new district is in Tarrant county, and
that it will take over half the judge’s time
to hold court in Fort Worth, it would
seem that as a matter of convenience to
the public, the judge should reside here,
Gov. Roberts c. nnot colder the appoint-
ment on any one better qualified, by both
learning and character, to discharge the
high and responsible duties ot judge, than
Capt. Fields.

The following letter was received oy
Dr. Jackson, president of the board of
health, yesterday:
Board of Health, City of Fort Worth:
Dear Sirs:—Permit us to call your at-
tention to Several dead animals, following
the waters of the Clear Fork, near the
old Weatherford crossing, and by the side
of Maj. Van Zandfs. We have also been
informed that there are several other
dead carcasses towards Smith’s brick
yard, in he bend of the river. Please
give the matter your attention, and oblige
Jas. T. Dolan & Co,
Ice Manufacturers.
Immediate action was taken in the mat-
ter, and the following order was issued :
T. I. Courtright, City Marshal :
You will please give this matter your
immediate attention, and if possible, as-
certain the party or parties, violating the
city ordinance, and make or cause to be
made a complaint against same, and re-
port your action at the next meeting of
the board ot health.
George Jackson,
Chairman Board of Health.
Swenson-Browne.
The marriage ceremony of Mr. S. J.
Swenson, of St. Marys parish, Louisiana,
and Miss Lizzie Browne, late of Austin,
was witnessed by a large number of
friends at the Fourth Street Methodist
church, yesterday afternoon, the Rev.
M. 11. Wells officiating. After a most
impressive ceremony, the bridal pair, with
a few intimate lriends and relatives, re-
paired to the residence of Mr. Joe Young,
brother-in-law of the btide, where a
sumptuous repast was waiting them.
After an hour or more of social inter-
course, the bride and groom were escort-
ed tu the depot, where tiny left on the
evening train for Galveston, thence to
New Orleans and home. The good wishes
of many friends accompany them on their
bridal tour and through life.
CITY CHIPS.
Jno. Howard, the jeweler, is entertain-
ing a little stranger at his residence whose
weight pulls down the scales at twelve-
pounds. John is certainly to be congrat-
ulated.
The wind suddenly veered around to
the north yesterday evening, and we were
treated to a genuine norther. For a sea-
son Hie air was filled w ith dust, brick-
bats, sand, hats, dry goods boxes, shut-
ters, smothered oaths, and other debris.
It was as disagreeable as an aggravated
case of mother-in-law.
The city team is doing efficient work on
the roads. Many of the crossings have
been fixed up, and the gravel is being rap-
idly scattered on Houston street by Con-
tractor Popejoy, and in the course of ten
days this thoroughfare will be “solid”
from the public ■ quare down to tire depot,
a distance of over half a mile.
We learn that members of the Dallas
bar are in cresting themselves in these
lection of a judge for the new judicial dis-
trict. Dallas is not in the district, and
has no interest in the matter, but the in-
termeddling officiousness of the average
l’allasite is so great that it is impossible
for him to keep his hand out of any and
everything that presents itself.
We hope the good work being done on
Houston street will not be discontinued,
until the entire thoroughfare is graded
and graveled. It is of too great value to
the commercial interests of the city not
to be completed, with the same thor-
oughness with which it has been com-
menced and prosecuted thus far.
Just received in store, three car-loads
of De Land’s soda, two car-loads ot fine
salt in b ?gs, two car-loads ot fine salt in
barrels, which are offered to the trade at
lowest possible prices.

Miss Agnes Slersulon.
Miss Agnes Herndon, the world-re-
nowned vocalist, will be hereon the even-
ing of the fourth of next month, The At-
lanta Daily Constitution says : “Her
voice-is a miracle of sweetness and
strength, and is exquisitely trained. In
her most impassioned utterances, it rang
over the pit as clear as a bell. It was a
strange sight to see the beautiful young
woman swaying that great audience by
the mere intonations of her voice, and the
turn of her hand. The entertainment
was the best seen in Atlanta this season.”
Jmlg’e TempSetou.
It will be a matter of s rprise, if, as our
dispatches predict, Mr. Templeton should
be appointed judge of the new judicial
district. While we know Mr. Temple-
ton's preference for his profession over
any office of a political character and
would heartily congratulate him upon
his promotion to the bench, we would be
glad to see him continue in the position
which he occupies ar U honorsi
If. as is now universally conceded, the
press is in any wise the exponent, and in
some degree also the guardian ot the pub-
lic weal, both social and commercial, sure
iy it may in the discharge ot these duties,
assume the right to hold up to view in-
dividual instances which eonpicuously
tend to the enhancement of these interests
and consequently, to the promotion of
the general weal.
Even in so 'urge a place as our rapidly
growirigyoung city, characterized as she
is by the vim, energy and enterprise of
the inhabitants, the unconscious power
for good ot some eonspicious example^
whether in morals or commerce, in its re-
flective and stimulating influence is felt by
all. Such an example our city unques-
tionably' possesses in tiie person of
JOSEPH H. BROWN,
who has long been recognized as the ac-
knowledged head of the
. WHOLESALE GROCERY
business of Northwest Texas, and whose,
open fairness in all Iris business transac-
tions, together with his untiring energy'
and application, has made him so de-
servedly popular with his numerous
patrons.
Devoting his entire attention to the
jobbing trade, and seeking no other, the
immense warehouse of Mr. Brown has
grown to be regarded as tiie depot for
supplies for all tiie western country trad-
ing with this market. And to all his num-
erous customers it is well known that the
immense volume of his trade gives him
advantages in the way ot prices, and va-
riety an l size of stock, which enable him
to offer inducements which cannot be
equalled by any of his competitors here
or elsewhere. The trading public are
alive to its own interest-, well know that
Mr. Brown can sell his goods at much
lower prices than it would cost the dealer
to buy them himself in the central mar-
kets and pay freight to our depot, and,
knowing this, lie simply consults his own
interests by buying his goods from this
sterling house.
in another column will be found a few
of the staple articles which Mr. Brown
has just received in stock.
Just received and in stock, three car-
loads bacon, dry salt meat and sugar cured
hams, which I offer to Hie jobbing trade
at prices below the present cost in St.
Louis and Kansas City with freight added.
