FERHT grand ball of gate city
LODGE HO. 15.
The Brotherhood of Brakemen will give
a Grand Ball at the Opera House
December, 23rd.
The Brotherhood of Brakemen
have accused the McDougall opera
house where they will give an annual
hall on the evening of the 33rd, inst.
The hoys have made every arrange-
ment necessary to insure success,
and we predict that the ball will be
largely attended by the citizens of
the city. The managers assure us
that the b|st of order will be .pre-
served and no unworthy persons ad-
mitted. They cordially invite p the
ladies of the city to attend and par-
ticipate in the pleasures of the even-
ing; promising thht the occasion
shall be characterized by all that the
lovers of t|ie-dance care desire. They
have accused the services of the fin-
est band of music in lJallas to fur-
nish the music. We hope the ball
will be wc|i attended, as the boys
have madf elaborate preparations
and have paused at no trouble nor
expense in order to success,
rule the brakemen are polite and
honorable young men, careful in
the discharge of their duties and in
their personal deportment. All of

speaking die brakemen who run into
this city are sober, moral and in oth-
er respect* gentlemen, and we hope
their ball will be all it deserves to
be.
WHAT BHALL WE BUY?
The Answer Will b« Given at the Wil-
kinson Jewelry House.
Last Friday a Gazetteer scribe
visited every house in the city where
holiday goods arc in stock, and we
must say-ffor we don’t know how
to tell anything but unvarnished
trutli—that our merchants have
made choice selections. The stocks
arc generally large ami elalorately
'and artistically displayed. While
a sense of {honest journalism prompts
us to thfs generally speak, and
while we do so because we are
proud of the city and the enterprise
of the business men, our admiration
for the superlatively beautiful and
truly meritorious, urges us to say
that there is nothing in the city that
approaches within .a cannon-shot o£
the Wilkiason Jewelry House. We
will, for example, commence with
the
LADIES* GOLD WATCHES.
These yo*t will find at all prices
All of thorn are beautiful indeed.
Some of diem are act with diamonds
and while they cost more money
they will be the more highly appre-
cia ed and admired. * The chains

latest patterns. Diamonds—At the
Wilkinso* Jewelry House will l>e
found a choice stock of diamonds
of “purest ray serene.” These
diamond.*— pins, eardrops, rings,
etc., etc., were bought at close fig-
ures, and;will be sold lower than
any such goods were ever before
sold in this city. Bronze-work
—Statuary and clocks. The clocks
are wonders of art, with cathedral
chimes ; nothing more appropriate
for a Christmas present. Bric-a-
brac—The collection of bric-a-brac
is a wonder of itself. It is a real
museum of art and the beautiful.
In this department one will see
many things they will buy which
they had not before thought of. But
the crowning feature of the grand
array of the Wilkinson Jewelry
House goods is the
* Dt.Sn.AY OF SILVERWARE.
In this department we noticed a
great many novelties, including
baking dishes, sugar sifters, sardine
boxes, criimb trays and knives, wine
coolers, ^ine stands, beautiful Am-
berine glasses for fruits, berries and
celery. Kovel and unique designs
in water stands, jewel stands, and
ink stands- - In solid, sterling
silverware it is impossible to
excel the Wilkinson Jewelry- House.
They have fine French coffee spoons
iin elegant plush cases —tea spoons
and fork!—berry spoons, pie knives,
etc., etcJ In a won!, the viator will
see humlrcds of things in this de-
partment not seen before.
Gentlemen will find at the Wil-
kinson jewelry House a fine line of
gold and silver watches and chains,
studs, cuff buttons, pins, etc. The
line of finger rings is not to he
forgotten. The rings are of all
sizes aad patterns—elegant and
beautiful. But, lest we tire the
reader, we will desist; and, “as it
was in the beginning so shall it l>e
In the cBiling,” the Wilkincon Jew-
elry IIoBse has the finest stock of
goods fbr Christmas in Northern
Texas, and we can prove that these
goods can be bought for less -money
than at any other house. Go see,
anil believe; purchase, and l»e
happy. I
Don’t Get Shot.
So, before it is too late and the
opportunity lost, prepare yourself
for the command that awaits you
and go right away, forthwith,— let
no other inducement or offer detain
you, but to A. Jacobs’ Bazaar go
for there you will find the most ele-
gant assortment of silk handker-
chifes, all shades, colors, sizes, ant
at all prices. One or two dozen
will lie an excellent Christmas gift
cither for a lady or gentleman. If
not handkerchiefs, why, some nice
neckties, collars, cuffs, or gloves.
Should you wish something a little
higher in price, an elegant suit of
clothes, a fine silk dress, cloak. Dol-
man, or Jersey jacket, and still the
list of nice things are only half enu-
merated, for there- are piles and
stacks of goods, all colors and tex-
ture To go to Jacobs’ Bazaar and
not find something suitable for the
little ones, the old ones, the cranky
ones, the fastideous ones, or any
other one that may go, would be
As a -one of the things that is absolutely
and unquestionably out of all rea-
son. So we think it hardly neces-
sary to go any farther then to enu-
merate what Mr. Jacobs has in his
store. Everyone is invited to call
and see for his or herself, and when
you are there don’t forget to look at
those nice plush work-boxes, the
silks and satins, the baby hoods and
jackets, the laces and embroideries,
the gloves and hoes, the, the—well,
go see yourself, it is thus.
Go to A. G. Moseley’s for Christ-
mas presents.
New Year cards at Murray’s
Steam Printing House—the prettiest
in the city. Call and see them.
Go to Slutzky's and buy your wife

House ?

The new goptls at the Wilkinson

cheap, but extremely handsome.
Thomas & Howard, at the post-
office, desire to inform their friends
that they have selection of
Xmas goods now m flpre and will
continue to receive such goods un-
til the 35th. Give them a call. They
will give you good bargains.
What can be handsomer than a
pair of those elegant opera glasses

Remember, I will continue to sell

cost until they are all; disposed of,
and all gents’ goods at reduced rates
until I move to my new quarters in
the spring. A. G. Moseley.
The finest line of Carving sets
ever brought to Denison, ranging
in price from 75c. to $35, at the
Wilkinson Jewelry House.
Those gentlemen's cases are per-
fectly beautiful at Caspary’s Drug
Store, and so very cheap, too.
The truth is, Guiteau & Waldron
have everything that should have a
place in a holiday stock of goods,
and it is safe to say that they are
not complaining of “dull sales,”
because we kpow of our own per-
sonal knowledge that their stock is
going rapidly.
The stationery at Bennett’s Book
Store is the handsomest line in the
city.
Don’t fail to take one of those
elegant Berry and Fruit stands home
for Xmas; they aje very choice. To
be had only at the Wilkinson Jew-
elry House,
• A Denison Romance.
For several weeks we have known
that a sensation quietly awaited our
people, and of a character that
would startle the people and give
them the strongest possible evidence
of the weakness and frailty of flesh
and blood. Some people, whose
dispositions have been soured by
one disappointment and another and
whose sensibilities have beeii chilled
and deadened by neglect, will argue
that love is generally a romantic
fancy. Some very intelligent people
will tell you that it is impossible for
an intelligent person to form a strong
attachment for one of ignorance and
worthlessness. But such conclusions,
are without convincing evidence—in
fact they are without any proof at
all, as we shall he able to prove by
the following. We regret to uncover
the facts in the case, but, as an hon-
est journalist, we believe it to be our
duty Bo the-public. It will perhaps
bring the blush of shame to the fair
cheeks of a beautiful maiden, but
she and her parents must be consol-
ed by the reflection that indiscretion
and not sin is l»er greatest fault. $he
is too well known for the tongue of
slander to do her an injury, and we
would not even insinuate that she
ever thought'of.betraying the confi-
dence of her parents or being untrue
to herself. No, far from it. We
deem it necessary to write this long
preface because we would not for
the world have the public believe
that we desire to injure any one,
especially those immediately inter-
ested. Perhaps a strange and un-
natural infatuation is the basis of the
whole affair; and perhaps"there are
some hidden circumstances surround-
ing the story that will throw much
light on the chaos of perplexities
that we are not now wot of. We
shall, therefore, be pleased to re-
ceive any facts tending to ameliora-
tion and remove the mystery. For,
strange as it may appear, several
parties are seridusly involved, as is
shown by the notes and letters now
in our possession.
Just as the foreman was mak-
ing up the forms, prepara-
tory to going to press, the
remaining portions of the above
story was pied. The accident was
unavoidable and we ask our readers
to bear with us until next issue,
when all the facts will be published.

Methodist Centennial Council.
A meeting of important signifi-
cance to Methodists of all denomi-
nations convened at Baltimore on
the 10th inst. It is known as the
Centennial Council, and is essential-
ly one of the laity. The primary
object is to secure a union of all the
various sects of Methodism, under
one banner. The Methodist Epis-
copal South; the African Methodist,
Zion, the Colored Methodist, the
Primitive Methodist and the Inde-
pendent Methodist churches are all
represented; there being six hundred
delegates irE attendance. It is to be
expected that the followers of John
Wesley would hail with joy and
pride a union, or rather consolida-
tion, such as this council is laboring
earnestly to bring about, but that
the result would he beneficial is
doubtful. The history of the Chris-
tian church has pretty thoroughly
demonstrated that in proportion as
the church has increased in unity,
wealth and power, the progress1 of
the masses, intellectually and mor-,
ally, has been retarded. The “re-
formation” liberated in a great
measure, the gi^at mass of the peo-
ple in Germany and England, from
a grinding ecclesiastical despotism,
but it was done at the expense of
church unity, and the work of dis-
integration has been going on ever
since. Protestants are ready enough
to acknowledge the correctness of
this proposition when applied to the
Catholic church, but many of them,
singular as it may seem, cannot re-
alize that the Methodist church, or
any other religious organization
which makes “belief” a requisite to
salvation, would be as intollerant if
given the opportunity that venerable
church possessed so many centuries.
The thoughtful Christian, who sin-
cerely wishes to see the rights of
private judgment in religious mat-
ters maintained, and church and
state kept entirely separate and dis-
tinct, as the fathers of the Republic
so wisely intended they should be.

Among the many beautiful holi-
day goods to be seen at the Star

preciated. It is made of fine china-
ware and is encased in a kind of a
fine willow or bamboo basket work.

_ great value to the
political party^n power; it is a val-
uable “bait** to entice the voters
with and induce them to contribute
to their support.
While we know that a change will
be made, and that it is right that it
should be, yet We avail ourselves of
this opportunity to pay Mr. Daugh-
erty, the present incumbent, ,a
merited compliment for the very ef-
ficient and satisfactory manner in
which he has conducted the business
of the office since bis installation.
But, unfortunately , for Mr. Daugh-
erty, it is necesKary that he should be
succeeded by a Democrat. Just who
that man will be we do not know
Many will no doubt be aspirants for
the position, basing their claims of
course on their past Democratic
record and service in behalf of the
party soon to take charge of the
government and direct the current of
affairs at least tor the next four
years. It requires a man of good
business tact and education to con-
duct a postoffice of the magnitude
of ours, and we desire no man not
possessed with the necessary qualifi-
cations given the place. There are
men in the city—perhaps scores of
them—eminently fitted for the posi-
tion, and from among such men we
hope to see the next postmaster se-
lected. If a man succeeds well in
conducting his own business it may
safely be predicted that he will prop-
erly discharge the duties of a public
office to which be is elected. Hence,
we want a live business earns in the
postoffice; we want no
who has proved himoe
of conducting his own priv**- busi-
ness in a successful manner. Men
who cannot augment
their their own business
will not, faithfully ami satisfactorily
serve the public. Mark this fact.
In looking around for a proper
man far the place, we foil to think of
one more deserving and better quali-
fied than the Star Store. Look
what he has done for Denison. He
came here in its infancy and cast his
lot with us. Look what he is doing
now, if you please. Go to his place
of business and see what he has
done in order to make Christmas a
bright day to every heart But puls-
ates within the city. Why, the other
day we were, there when Lony
Mitchell (the fellow with the white
head) was displaying the holiday
goods, and we say candidly that we
never saw a better stock of fancy
goods to select from. The plush
goods are immense. Mrs. Beggs,
Mrs. Swartz, Mrs. Kingsley, and a
number of other ladies were there
selecting presents for their • friends,
and they were perfectly delighted
with the assortment. Ladies, don’t
you think ^Jtar Store ought to be
postmaster? He has already can-
celed high prices and put the stamp
of “low profits” on his goods.
Now, you know very well that you
can’t buy a Dolman, Cloak, or
Wrapper at any other store for ms
tittle money as at the Star Store, and
if you want a cloak or wrapper for
your little girl you know that you
can’t get it any where else in the
city. And then, too, they are so
very pretty—just beautiful. There
is not a gentleman in the city who
cannot tell at what store' a lady
trades by the clothes she wears—
especially the1 Dolmans, Cloaks,
Wrappers, Shawls, etc. And we
again call the attention of the gen-
tlemen to the fine suits and overcoats
at the Star Store.
Those plush cloaks which you can
see at the Star Store are too pretty
for anything. A new line of Christ-
mas goods received yesterday eve-
ning. They will be displayed early
in the morning. Get up early and
rush to the Star Store by sun up
and get the pick and choice. Now

The City Council in special session
last Tuesday night fixed the salaries and
fees of city officers for the ensuing year.
The salary of the marshal was fixed at
$100 a month—no fees. Policemen were
allowed $60 a month—no fees. The sal-
ary of recorded was fixed at $100 per
month—no fees. The city attorney was
given a salary of $500 per year. The city
assessor and collector of taxes was allow-
ed 1 3-3 per cent, on assessments and 3 1-2
per cent, on collections, with such fees for
advertising as is allowed county collectors.
The treasurer was given a salary of $aoo
per year and the secretary |£oa Council-
men were voted a salary of $50 a year.
The ordinance regulating the fees and
salaries of city officers will go Into effect
April ist, 1585. After that time all
fines and forfeitures will be paid directly
to the city.
We think it is well to make the record-
er a salaried officer, for* we believe ft
against sound policy to make any officer’s
fees presiding over a court depend upon
his decision; but whether the cutting off
of policemen’s fees and perquisits is for
the best interest of the city remains to be
seen; we are inclined to favor the change.
Councilman Tone moved that an order
be drawn on the school fund for $3,437,
balance due W. E. Hill, contractor, for
building the Fourth ward school building.
This motion brought forth a lively dis-
cussion, during which Mr. ' Fitzgerald
made use of some very scathing language
relative to the contractor, asserting that
he had “tried to cover up” the defects in
the architecture of the building. Coun-
cilman Jones was about as emphatic and
outspoken in this particular as was Fits- .
gerald. The question was finally
ported.
E. H. Glanding was appointed special
policeman without pay.
The marshal and city attorney were in-
structed to enforce the ordinance against
“saloon music.”
Council adjourned to the next regular
meeting which will be Jaunuary 1st. 1885.
