The old Democrat looks natural this
morning. Don’t you think so V
You can't say yesterday afternoon
wasn't a scorcher, unless you forget your
Washingtonian inheritance.
We are pleased to know that we may
have an opera house after all. It is strong-
ly talked of again, though just yet we will
say nothing more concerning it.

If you know a man is a lunatic don’t
say so ; nothing will make such an one so
mad. A sensible man never takes excep-

if he can find any pacer that has the space
to spare such an one.
The land office was busy yesterdiy at-
tending to the regular business of that de-
giving to Texas veterans 1280
acres of land does not go into effect until
July 1,1881. and it is a waste of time and
money to be preparing and forwarding
necessary proofs that you are a veteran
before that time.
The proper papers to receive attention
at the land office, must not be made out
earlier than the first ot July.—Austin

•^Shreveport, La., May 4.—S. M. Thomas,
who was found guilty ot manslaughter for
the killing of his brother-in-law, Dickson,
for the seduction of his daughter, was this
morning, under the recommendation of
the jury for mercy, sentenced to pay the
cost of prosecution and $1 fine, and one
day at hard labor in the penitentiary, bis
counsel having withdrawn the motion for
a new trial. A petition, signed by the
jury and a large number of citizens, will
be presented to the governor for his par-
don. This conviction is regarded as a vin-
dication of the law as it stands tor this
class of killing, and yet does not terrorize
the father, brother or husband tor protec-
ting those dependent upon them.— Galves-
ton News Special.
Every word of the following, from the
Brenliam Banner, is true, and city and
county officers all over the state should
carefully consider it.
“In almost every city in Texas where
there is more than one daily paper print-
ed, the city printing is a bone ot conten-
tion. San Antonio has three daily papers,
the—Express, Light and Times. The Ex-
press is the best paper in San Antonio,
and is the leading paper of its section of
the state ; it has an established reputa-
tion and a large circulation among the
best citizens in its city and neighboring
towns. All three of the papers bid on
the printing. The Times’ bid was the
lowest, but its circulation is smaller than
either of the two other papers. The bids
ot the Express and Light were about the
same, and the council taking a business
view of the matter, awarded the printing
to the Express, considering it to be the
lowest and best bidder. Had the lowest
bid simply been considered, the printing
would have been awarded to the Times.
It there be a necessity tor publishing ordi-
nances and resolutions, they are certainly
advertised for general information, and
the paper having the largest circulation
and best _ reputation is undoubtedly ilie
one in which to do the advertising, provi-
ded the price charged be reasonable.
A COTTON FACTORY.
Fort Worth as Usual Ahead.
Permanent .Organization of.tlie Tar-
rant County Mannfactnring: Com-
pany.
Yesterday the board ot directors of the
Tarrant County Manufacturing Company
met at the office of Messrs. Priest Mar-
tin, and .from their actions during the
meeting, we feel warranted in the asser-
tion that the cotton factory is an estab-
lished tact. The men at work in this un-
dertaking are the very best men ot the
country and they'mean business. Buttle1
appended sketch of the proceedings kind-
ly furnished us by Messrs. Priest & Mar-
tin, will give our readers a full insight in-
to this matter:
At a meeting ot the’board of directors
of the Tarrant county“manufacturing
company, the following proceedings were
had: Col. E. M. Daggett was called to
the chair and Judged no. E. Martin was
elected secretary pro tem.
On motion of Jeff Earl, Cupt. Sam Ev-
ans was elected president for the ensuing
twelve months.
On motion of Sam Evans, A. S. Bidison
was elected vice-president and II. J.
Thompson'treasurer.
On motion, Judge J. E. Martin was
elected secretary.
On motion of E.’M. Daggett, the presi-
dent was authorized to contract tor such
stationery as raay^be necessary for the
company,
On motion of Jeff Earl, the following
by-laws were]adopted:
Section 1st. That the board of directors
of said company be authorized at any reg-
ular meeting thereof, to elect such addi-
tional directors as may be necessary and
proper either to increase the number there-
of or to fill such vacancies as may occur
from time to time.
Sec. 2. That the board of directors i t
said company shall meet regularly once
in each month at such time as shall be
designated by tlie president, and at such
other times as the president may deem
necei: ary and proper.
On motion of E. M. Daggett, W A. Fos-
ter and A. S. Bidison were added to the
number of directors of said company for
the first twelye months.
On motion of Jeff. Earl, the followdng
gentlemen were appointed a committee to
draft by-laws lor the company, and re-
port at the next regular meeting, to-wifc,
E. M. Daggett, Jeff. Earl, A. S Bidison
and J. E. Martin, and on motion ot Mr.
Earl, the president was added to said com-
mittee.
The meeting was then adjourned till
the fifteenth ot May, 1881, at two o’clock.

Editor . emocval:
The Advance will be issued to-morrow
morning in its enlarged form, and every
Sunday thereafter,provided the merchants
and business men ot this city accord to it
a patronage sufficient to meet the in-
creased expenses incident to the enlarge-
ment.—Advance.
That is to say, the Eev. W. P. Wilson
will celebrate his triumph over the Sunday
law by issuing an extra large edition upon
the Sabbath, provided it will pay him so
to do. We opine that if it would flay bet-
ter to postpone the paper till Monday, the
reverend editor would make a Monday
paper of it.
We remember in listening to a most ex-
cellent prayer by Mr. Wilsou a few nights
ago at the revival meeting at the Fourth
Street Methodist church. Our thoughts
then were that he ought never to publish
another Sunday paper. And when we
read his Sunday paper we will think he
never ought to make another reAiyal
prayer. For he must exclude from his
prayer those seven or eight of his em-
ployes, who will be “obliged,” Vo work
a 1 ni£ht upon his paper, and some of
them circulating and mailing up to eight
or nine .o’clock Sunday morning, and of
course are cut off from all church privi-
leges, for they must sleep Sunday. How-
ever, Mr Wilson is casemated by the
profits of his Sunday paper
and the rulings of Mayor Brown,
and turns his back with masterly silence
against all criticism, even those pointed
questions of “An Old Preacher.” Yet we
all know that no one is better acquainted
■with the laws of God and man upon Sun-
day work than the Eev. W.P. Wilson-
We write these things in sorrow, not an-
ger. What “a pity ’tis, ’tis true,” that
a minister of the gospel has done more to
^hake the foundation of the Sunday- law
than all the malcontents of the saloons.
Facts are stubborn and unbending. Mr.
Wilson is responsible lor the fads—he
made them—we only comment and pre-
dict that all doors will virtually be thrown
open before the end ot the current year.

The Farmer’s Meeting'.
The farmers met at the court house yes-
terday morning at ten o’clock, hut for the
better and satisfactory transaction of bus-
iness, adjourned until one o’clock in the
afternoon at which time a goodly num-
ber of the “bone and sinew” of the coun-
try rallied to the call, and a most harmo-
nious meeting was held.
Mr. A. S. Biddison, the president, was
in the chair. After a call of order, the
president read his address, which is pro-
nounced by all who heard it, a model of
good sound sense, and logic.
Mr. Furman followed in a beautiful lit-
tle speech which \va3 well received by his
hearers.
Resolutions from the Farmers’ Associ-
ation ot precinct No. 5 were read and
ordered accepted and filed.
A resolutifm endorsing the Tarrant
county manufacturing company was read
and"adopted. Hire followed able speeches
from Col. J. P. Smith, Capt. Daggett and
the president, Mr. Biddiston.
It was resolved by the meeting that a
grand barbecue be given on the Fourth
day of July next, with Col. J. P. Smith,
Capt. E. M. Daggett and Judge J. E. Mar-
tin as a committee of arrangements. As
speakers to address the assembly on that
occasion on the importance of manufac-
tures, Col. Peter Smith, Capt. E. M. Dag
gett, and Mr. A. S. Biddison were selec-
ted. The latter was also chosen to pre-
side on that occasion. The meeting then
adjourned.

DESERTED.
Too Confiding, Loving Girl.
—Her False Lover Ruins
Then Deserts Her.
“ Had it pleased Heaven
To try me with affliction; had he rained
All kinds ot sores and shames on my bare
head;
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips*
Given to captivity" me and my utmost
hopes;
I should have found in some part of my
soul
A drop of patience; but, alas! to make me
A fixed figure, for the type or scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger at—
0 ! 0 !”
It is. seldom that a reporter encounters
one whose history is productive of more
detestation tor the man who toys with the
confiding^heart of woman than is the sad,
the bitter experience of a young woman
now in our city. Fate may snatch lrom
amongst us the treasured ones of family
and ^society. Death in its most hideous
forms may stalk abroad through the land
claiming as its victims the high and the
low, the rich and the poor, the homely
and the beautiful, but in these losses and
afflictions we acknowledge the all-wise
workings ot that Providence whose own
we are; and while grief may for a time,
overcome and bow us down,we rise again
to confront the aroused hosts of life’s
battling myriads, comforted with the
thought that up there, there is no trouble,
there is no turmoil—but all is peace and
holiness and happiness.
Recently (indeed no later than Friday
night) a young man of our city, to while
away an hour or two, entered the variety
hall on Main street. Alter sitting quietly
for perhaps an hour, his attention was at-
tracted by the pale, sad face of a young
woman who occupied one of the private
boxes in the theatre, and as she seemed to
pay no attention whatever to the* per-
formance on the stage, nor to the audience
seated in the balcony, the young man nat-
urally concluded That she had a history,
and he approached her to question her
regarding her previous ^'surroundings and
her present condition. From this young
man we gleaned as much of the sad tale
as we were able, and “perhaps had he not
unfortunately called to mind dur-
ing the conversation our connection
with the press, the details would have
been fuller and more explicit. As it was,
however, during lire course ot the con-
versation we catechised some what eagerly
and frequently and suddenly recollecting
our yoeation he became silent and uncom-
municative. This much, however, we
learned. A month or tivo ago the young
woman, who was then living in North
Carolina, beeame infatuated,with a young
man in the same locality, and as the af-
fection became mutual, a promise ot mar-
riage was entered into between them.
Frequent visits and intimacy led to the
ruin of the poor girl. The consequent
shame and remorse which followed led
the girl to inform a brother of the circum-
stances, and the betrayer was sought out
and peremptorily ordered to marry The
girl or suffer death at the hands ot the in-
dignant relative. Promises of course fol-
lowed, and it was thought'the affair had
been forever settled, and the poor young
girl saved fi om infamy. Not so, however,
for the perfidious, heartless scoundrel fled
the country, leaving the victim of his vice
machinations heart-broken and. ruined.
In a fit of desperation and despair she tied
from home with a wild determination
to see and if possible to find the faithless
destroyer.. By some means she heard ot
his arrival in Texas and almost crazed,
she followed in wild despair. A tew weeks
back she arrived penniless, and worn-out in
a small town in Johnson county where she
worked tor a bare living with a family,
until a day or two ago. Some one in-
formed her that it she came to Fort Worth
and entered the variety show here, she
could earn an honest and an easy livli-
hood, and hence her presence in that hall.
Before she had broached the subject to
the management, however, the young
man referred to, had been .attracted to
her as above related, amt by his advice
she did not mention the object ol her visit
to any one. By his advice also she is now
awaiting a letter in answer to one she has
written to her parents in North Carolina,
and it is sincerely to be hoped he will re-
turn to them and virtue ere she is totally
and irrevocably l >sf.
This is no fancy sketch, no sensational
story, but alas! too true. We could give
name and residence of the young lady, but
it would do no good and might do harm.
We would rather see her return to her
home ahd parents, and forget the heart-
less, soulless scoundrel who hy> so cruel-
ly deceived her.
