gentleman, and popular and succor.*
business manager, has associated himself
with F. C. J. Leuermann in the whole-
sale and retail liquor business. I: any-
thing further had been necessary--whl
was not tne case—to make this house
rank among the most popular, deserving
and extensive, in the Southwest, Mr.
Bullard’s connection with it would avo
supplied the deficiency. It; addition to

peiience and business qualifications,
which can but add largely to the popular-
ity of this house. Mr. Bullard has over-
hauled, renovated and rearranged the
stock on hand, which has greatly im-
proved tiie appearance of the salesroom
and rendered it more pleasant and con-
venient ior patrons, while it will, at
least, compare favorably with any otuer
house in town.
He has ordered a large stock of II p:ors

few da >s, and which, in connection with,
tiie large stock of imported w.nes and
liquors r.ow on hand, received direct

Mr. U. is one of our oldest cit.zens and
nas been engaged in this Hue o! trade
since the first settlement of tiie town, and
has been recognized as one ol the best
merchants therein. The large and appre-
ciative trade which have re ed upon him
for supplies in his line will be pleased to
know that they can always find an a nun-
lance ot the very best articles required,
at the house of which lie is a member.
All imported liquors kept by tills house

bridge acre:.., Fed River, between Texas
at.,' the Nation, has been trequentiy agi-
tated, but ti.ere was no company prepared
to mak: tiie large investment t.eccs: ary.
Mi. Colbe: , howaVcr, was so impressed
with dre itr.*)Oi tance of the undertaking
that i.e determined to build a bridge him-
,eif.
The wot k war. commenced July 1, 1874,
and v,*a commuted the bridge thrown
open to biisir.t.*,'; on the .jti: day ot Au-
gust, S/5. bridge is wnat is known
as the Nation;: Truss Bridge, and was
erected by C. l:-.ke- it Co., of St. Joseph,
Mo., under the unm.ediate supervision op
Mr. baker hiniuelf- and Mr. C. Washing-
ton.
The bridge is 577 fee* >"g, and sixteen
ieet wide, v, ah a ut;trn-oif" in the center
for lasslr.g teams twenty-four feet wide.
The pi is at each end are built of a supe-
rior article o: blue limestone, found within
three miles of tiie river, in the Nation, as
are also the three piers standing in the
stream.^ The piers and abutments rest
upon riles driven into the bed of the river
eighteen to twenty-three* feet, to the bed
rocky. The rock work commences three
:eet below low water mark, and the pil-
ings arc capped and drift-bolted. The
bri pe itself is forty fe it above low water
mark. ^Dimentions of pier:, on the top,
feet by 22 feet. To guard against spy
possible chance of tiu'i: being under-
mined, they are thoroughly riprapped
with large and small stone for some dis-
tance all around, to a height of several
feet.
This magnificent bridge ha* been con-
tracted throughout ir. the most durable
ar.d thorough manner, and n pronounced
by judges as a splendid specimen of en-
gineering skill. Owing 10 the quicksands
in the bed of the liver, which are contin-
ually shifting, and the sudden rues to
which Red River is subject, the diffical-
tics to overcome in constructing tiie piers
'ino br • ost M L." rt p-jog.....
Tins is a large sum of money for one man
to put into such a work, but tne value of
'.i.e bridge to the public can iia:dly be
over f" ' *■
ileretotore Red River has bee a great
hairier to travel, especially during high
water, when tiie ferries were usi-ies*-; Form-
idea of the amount of travel wi.ich will
pass over teds bridge may be gathered
from the fact that during the vt-ar 1872
19,000 wagons were crossed at Colbert’s
ferry, and other ferries along the river
were also doing a heavy business.
Those who are not disposed to give the
Indian credit for being progressive, must
confess that in Mr. Colbert they have a
remarkable exception. Mr. B. F. Col-
bert is a Chii kasaw, a cousin of Governoi
Overton. He was barn in Mississippi,
and removed to the Indian Ter.Tory in
1846. He established a ferry on Red
River, just below the new bridge, twenty-
two years ago, winch was con t: nu d up
to the first of the present month. Mr.
Colbert owns a very fine plantation o:
the river, where he has resided for over
twenty years. He has 350 acres .n culti-
vation, and will break up 150 acres more
next spring. Altogether he has .-.bout
,3oo acre* under fence, in this tract He
also own - a farm on the Washita- some
300 acres- ol very riel, prairie land, and
all anil r cultivation. Then he owns
other tracts ot several hundred acres each.
At Colbert's Station he has erected a
• team saw mill, gri-t mill and cotton gin
-another illustration ot the enterprise
and public spirit of the man.
Mr. Colbert is one of the few Lading
Indians in the Nation who are e ,1 nest
advocates of throwing open the Indian
Territory to settlement.
THE HOAD QUESTION.
Shall we Have an Air Line Hoad
to Burl hurt on?
Col. lerett Addington, of the Chicka*
saw Nation, arrived in our city Saturday
to consult with our cituie .s about open-
ing a road between Denison and b u'ling-
ton. Montague county, on Red River.
Mr. Addington lives in the Nation, thirty
miles from Burlington, in a rich agricul-
tural section, and tne irmers in that part
of the count:* .* are nil anxious to bring
their cotton and other products to this
ma: k<*t, but w tiioji a road t is is, 01
course, impossible I he d!stance horn
here to Burlington is about .* ixtv miles,
and tiie route proposed is in near!. a di-
re. t line, passing close to Dexter.
r e county court of Grayson, at the
t session, ordered a road opened to the
line of Cook county, and appropriated
$io:t for that purpose, but it is not suffici-
ent to complete the work anu Mr. Ad-
dington suggests that money enough be
raised by our citizens to open this road t >
•he county line with the aid of the >-too
He promises ii we w;.i dot..,;* t*. .t tn*
citizens of Dexter and vicinity wii. also
contribute libera:!**, and he believes
enough money *.'i be raised in Cooke
county to finish t .* ;-jud Irom the count)
line to Burlington This accomplished,
he promises that. e and. neighbors wili do
their best to make a good road from ti e
nver to his settlement. This air line
would be the outlet for Paul’s valley and
tiie whole Washita country.
Mr. Addington does not favor the sug-
gestion to build a free bridge across Min-
e. al creek. He savs there is a good ford
which can be crossed wi out any trouble
most of the time, and in case 01 high
water it is beta short distance further
to go around by the hr! lye. lie thinks
we ought to expend our money in open-
ing the 'oad.
There is no doubt that we w ill lose a
vmv large trade this fail that we would
secure it this road was opened as Mr. Ail-
di -ton suggests.
He would ke to have our business
men appoint a commit' e to go over the
route suggested and meet with a commit-
tee from Cook ar.d tiie Nation.
We hope our citizens -a ill ta*e some ac-
tion in this matter. It is very important
that they do 10.
Tin: Second Bale.
Mr. E. J. Maples, of Fannin county, ar
rived i:: our city Natan’ ay morning wi’h
2 ' ale of new cotton, weighing 330
pounds. It classed as good ordinary, ar.d
was sold at public auction, by Wm.
Campbell, auctioneer. Messrs. Water-
man, Star & Co. secured *.: Jut 122 cents

*-. : • ;ec:de-J bv the committee that
Mr. Maples wa not entitled to the prem-
ium of $20' as it was not all raised or.
one isntation, Mr. Mayles stating him-
elf that a portion of it wa- seed cotton,
purchased of a neighbor to fib out the
bale. However, Mr. Driggs, Mr. Teah
and Mr. Bennett, three of our most lib-
eral and enterprising merchants, made
