Friday week next the North Tex-

office of Randell Bios., in the Mul-
ler block. The meeting will be a
very imp ntant one, and a full at-
tendance is earnestly requested.
Several important communications
will be read. The Sherman Pomo-
logical Socieiy has expressed a wish
to co-operate with their Denison
brethren, and the best of feelings
now prevail between the two socie-
ties.
It almost seems that Denison >s
doomed to destruction by the fiery
elements. Within the past twelve
month*, over fifteen thousand dollars
worth of property has been destroyed
by fire. The question was asked
yesterday by a prominent business
man, “when will the city be safe.”
We reply, when good substantial
buildings of brick and iron replace
the dangerous wooden shanties which
are now to he seen in large prepon-
derance on our principal business
streets.
