The only means of improving
the country and building up so-1
ciety, is on the principal of the
greatest good 10 the greatest
number. This plan has just
been discovered by Dan Brown,
who is closing out his stock of
heavy ready-made Clothing, La-
dies Hats, Cloaks, Shawls, Nu-
bios. Hoods «c at prices that
places them within the reach of
all. If you desire to ! e made

; And now the Immigrants from
Wisconsin are coming to Jack
county. We had a call yester-
day from Mr. Bowen, late of Io-
wa county Wis., but now of
/ack county Texas. ■' lie in Com
jed us that quite a natnber of
families from his old houiM are
anxious to sell out and make
newhomes in this lovely country.
In one of our rambles this
week in quest of items, wa, stop-
ped in at!Horton's. thinking the
Major would (for w j knew he
could) help ns to a squib, but in
answer tc our question he said;
"I don't know nothing" and in
less than five minutes he told us
more things than we had ever
dreamed of, among others that
his Tom was a little out of sorts
he having a little ^d^in his
•ye. '"'Twas ever thus" Ac.
The familiar faces of Jack
Swartz and Sam Stinson have
been seen in .Our midst this
week and their friends (whose
name is legion), have greeted
them With a smile. Sam bought
spine teal estate at sheriffs sale
on Tuesday. Jack pronounces
our county as the best one in the
State; and his judgment is good.
That Railroad map of Weath-
erford in the Newt of last weok
is tolerably complete, but in
one or two trifling particulars
they 'have overlooked things, toi
instance, nil the Railroads in
the country are shown as 'i'en-
terinj^at khe "future great" ex-
cept the Baltimore & Ohio, New
York Central, and Pen n'a roads;
%Jth these few exceptions, the
map is a good one and answers
the purpose.

so much on this subject that it

In a communication to this
paper, sighed "Traveler,"; the
writer goes oil on his ear because
of matters and things a s set
forth in his communication.
Dense black clouds indicate
a storm. This storm has been
gathering for some time; this is
not the first instance we know of
where stage passengers from
Fort Worth have been mis led
by statements of the stage com-
pany's servants, and many and
bitter have been tho curses heap-
ed upon them. It would be
charitable to attribute these mis-
representations to b e through
ignorance, but ignorance on the
part of one of the company's
servants as to the time and con-
nections made by its stagesj is
not probable. If we mistake
not, the agent of the company
at this place has, in order to
keep the company lie represents
from being prosecuted for dam-
ages, hired li very teams and for-
warded passengers, because
they paid their money with the
express undeistanding that they
would not have to lay over on
the road. '.•■""V'-'O-
This is a grievous wrong and,
these misrepresentations contin-
ueing, the traveling public will
loose all confidence in the stage
company as well as in its agents.
TheEcho has a" foniplaint to
make against the same agon t.
We made an arrangement with
Mr. Bain, one of the proprietors
and G«neril1 Agent of the line,
