Sunday Morning
Away back in 1870 things happened
in Denton and Denton County. That
was before the days of the railroads
here, or any place In Denton County.
Neither did Dallas or Fort Worth
.possess a railroad. But, at that, A.
M Elmore, Pilot Point, advertised
that he had replenished his drug
stock. The Cranston Pottery was
needing help and advertised that
twenty dollars specie would be paid
and board besides. The editor ad-
vised every fellow who was not at
work to get busy. The City Hotel.
Dallas, urged people to stop at that
nostelry in place of Crutchfield's
inn. Rev. J. C Parr announced
that the Guthrie Presbytery of the
Cunberland Presbyterian Church
would meet at New Hope, about 9
miles Southeast of Pilot Point, on the
Wednesday preceding the second
Sunday in April. The editor allowed
that a Democrat on the fence looked
like a woman astraddle a horse. An
epidemic of measles was reported.
T. W Daughtery advertised that he
had enough sauerkraut from the
I terms of Uncle Billy Bates to sup-
I ply the town. H. Loomis, mall car-
' rier from Dallas to Denton, was mar-
ried to Miss Ann Pletcher, of Dry
Fork.
