A citizen of San Antonio has
instituted a peculiar suit against
that city. It is the custom in
Ibat bnrg each year to destroy o{
all unlicensed dogn Lasl Turn Qpany time they chose to call
St. Louis, No*. 12.—Several
posts of tbe Grand Army of the
Republic wailed on Gen. Sher-
man at- his residence lb-night
and* serenaded him, the. United
States ai^enel band furbishing
music for the occasion. Some
five hundred veterans were in
the procession, and about that
many , outsiders present. On
appearing in response to a call,
the general cordially greeted
them and ex congressman Thos.
C. Fletcher made a brief speech,
tendering a most hearty wel-
come to their old commander.
Iq reply, the general said be
was glad to see so many of his
old comrade present, . and
thanked them for their greeting.
He had returned to St. Louis
with the intention of making it
his home, and expected there
to spend the remainder of hie
days. He referred to his form
er visits to St Louis, notably in
1861, when the growlings o£
War made every man suspicious
of his neighbor. He was called
on by the president to fulfill
his oath of office to defend the
country from foreign and do-
mestic enemies, and he appeal-
ed to his comrade to attest that
his oath had been fulfilled.
He Said Pennsylvania was
the keystone State when the
Union was but a single arch,
resting one end on Massachus-
etts and the other on Georgia,
but with our prosperity the
country had grown i jto a grand
arch, dipping into the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans, with Mis
sonri the keystone of the vast
arch. He Was too old to share
with bis listeners the pleasures
of life, but should watch them
from the retirement of his home.
He Would welcome friends from
Louisiana as well as from Mas
sachusetts, and form a common
Union that would endure for
ever,, as tliey proposed the
country . should live together.
St Louis had many cherished
memories, and he hoped all
should join hands together and
go on ^until they received the
last call. He thanked the veter-
ans presedt. and extended the

All men should be indepen-
dent jin politics, but unfortun
ately many voters blindly fol
low their leaders and vote with
the party, if it "costs a Quarter."
Of the independent voter the
Galveston New* says:
"The independent voter does
not ask that parties shall dis
band—nothing of the kind. He
demands that they shall be real
parties'—not rings of plunderers
and blunderers. He does not
look kindly upon a proposition
to put a party in office because
another party has been in office
long enough. He rtall/ wants
parties to tell him what they
exist for, what they want to do
in public serrice, that he may
choose the party with the policy
that will suit his views Par-
ties muHt beware in future of
op jdInji easiness with no stock
of politics or principles. The

Lumber! Lumber! Lumber!
We have now in yard one of
the largest stocks of lumber,
shingles, doors, sasbtf, etc., west
of Fort Worth Owing to the fact
that we have recently made very
large purchaoes at very lowest
cash prices in both lumber and
shingles, we will hereafter be
enabled to sell lumber lower
than ever. Parties contemplat-
ing building will do well to ex-
amine our stock and prices be-
fore purchasing elsewhere.
