CITY CHATTER.
A Christmas Gift,
In the shape of a pretty, bouncing baby
boy, was presented to Dr. George yes-
terday.
In a Good Cause.
There were several teams kept busy
cleaning out the filthy gutters on Main
street yesterday. They were working in
a good cause, and we hope to see more of
it.
Growing Worse.
We are sorry to learn that young Ca-
ruthers, recently injured on the M. P.
road, and operated upon by our surgeons
here, is not likely to live. Blood-poison-
ing, it is feared, is taking place.
Dull.
. It was duller around the court house
yesterday than we ever saw it. The
officers seemed to be anticipaliug Christ-
mas with some degree of pleasure, but
nary an item did they liaye for the paper.
The ’Possum Cluh.
This organization held a meeting last
night, and transacted some very impor-
tant business. Another grand onslaught
will soon be made upon the ’possum kind,
if vve may judge by the movements of the
club last night.
Christmas Dinners.
Those places of resort which intend hav-
ing extra good dinners on Christmas
should let the people know through the
columns ol the Democrat and Advance
how well they are going to be prepared
tor the occasion.
Deft Yesterday.
Our County Clerk, Mr. Jno. F. Swayne,
left yesterday lor a visit of a tew days to
Bell county. His wife had preceded him
several days, and of course he was anxious
to get oft. We hope they m iv both have
a merry Christmas.
Just Returned.
Our County Attorney, Mr. W. S. Pen-
dleton, has just returned from a visit to
relations in Bell county. We understand
that while there he was lets ted on
turkeys, mince pies and other Christmas
goodies, until now he thinks Christmas
has come and gone.
Couldn’t Help It.
_We wished very much to attend all the
city schools yesterday, but that was im-
possible. We will just have to take each
in turn and visit and write it up. We are
told that the exercises in all the schools
were very entertaining, and reflected
credit on both teachers and pupils.
Mrs. McNeal’s School.
The pupils ot Mrs. McNeal’s school
were assembled at her school-room last
night, and entertained those who attended
as well as themselves very pleasantly for
a few hours. Mrs. McNeal is a most
thorough and competent educator, and we
are much pleased to hear ot her success.
Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve will be celebrated at St.
Paul’s M. E. Church, Main street, on Sat-
urday evening at seven o’clock. Exer-
cises will consist of singing and recita-
tions, and distribution ot presents lrom
the bay window. All are cordially invited
to be present and join in the festivities of
the occasion.
Read Them.
We call the attention ol our readers to
two articles which appear elsewhere this
morning on the subject ot small-pox.
True, we have no small-pox, but in the
language of Mrs. ToodleS, “we may have
it,” and ‘•then how handy it will be to
have” some proper understanding of the
thing “ in the house.”
Christmas Visit.
By invitation kindly extended him, the
city editor was present during the exer-
cises at Mrs, Walden’s school-room yes-
terday afternoon, and was not only enter-
tained but perfectly delighted with what
he saw and heard. Mrs. Walden is a
most competent trainer and instructor,
while her assistant, Miss Haywood, has a
perfect fcnack for handling the little fel-
lows. Mrs. Waller lias charge of the
music room, and is thorough in both in
strumental and vocal music. In the
latter particular we rarely hear a sweeter
or more thoroughly cultivated and con-
trolled voice among non-professionals.
Indeed, these three ladies are, a trio, it is
true, but a perfect host in themselves.
We wish we could give the names of every
one of the misses and little girls and
little masters who took part in
the exercises, and who looked so
sweetly and behaved so nicely,
but even if we had the space,' bless then-
little souls, we couldn't remember but
half their names. You all did well though,
and we know your mamma’s and papa’s
teel proud of you.
When we arrived Master Meyer was
rendering his piece, and though he did
splendidly, we either didn’t hear it, or if
we did we’ye forgotten the name of his
recitation. Following this were the
calirthenic exercises by the little folks, and
we were delighted with them. ‘-Over the
Ice,” is a beautiful song and was excel-
lently rendered by the chorus of Misses.
“The Battle of Fontenoy” as read by
Miss Ollie Peak was superb. This is one
of our tovorite pieces and we must com-
pliment the young lady on her reading.
Miss Fannie Malone is quite a young elo-
cutionist, we opine, at least we are led to
believe this after hearing her read “Katie
Lee and Kellie Gray,” Following
these came that beautiful
duett for two voices entitled, “In the Star-
light.” In this song particularly we no-
ticed an unusually fine alto voice, which
the young possessor should not fail to
continue cultivating, for a good alto simm-
er in these days is a ram avis.
Miss Lula Sterns knocked the senti-
mental and pathetic into “a cocked hat”
with her reading. The p;ece was entitled
“Bob Cratchett’s Christmas dinner,” and
was read in a truly humorous style. The
young lady is a good reader.
“Down Among the Lilies,” was then
sung by the chorus.
Miss Lillie Peak’s reading, “The Shadow
on the Wall,” was not only an expressive,
“o’er true” exposition of wealth without
love or cong uiaiity, but it brought out
that young lady’s talent andjability finely.
“An Order tor a Picture,” by Miss Etta
Fend, was nicely read.
We found another old acquaintance and
favorite in “Those Distant Chime? ”
which was most sweetly suno- by
the chorus. _ Here again ° came
in our alto, which chimed in, conspicuous
for its harmonious accord.
Now came the little fellows iu their
‘Charge of the Light Brigade,” which
they did in regular chivalric style.
The exercises were then closed by calis-
thenics of the larger girls, which was the
best we have ever seen anywhere.
Everything connected with this school
has an air of neatness, order and home-
comfort, which is truly gratifying vVe
shall attempt to visit the school occasion-
ally, for we love to look at the bright
smiling countenances of the little boys
and girls, and listen to their merry voices
bless them.
The finest display ot meats ot every
description, wild same, tow), etc., is at
fern pie Place. We have seen many
Christmas arrangements and ornamenta-
tions in meat markets, but that of Temple
Place is decidedly the most beautiful, the
most artistic, we ever saw. Mr. Lewis
Stein is at home in a market, we know,
but on this occasion he has even sur-
passed himse f. Delighted crowds flocked
to Temple Place yesterday afternoon, to
look at the beautiful arrange-
ment, and the}7 were as-
tonished and filled with admiraton
There are whole porkers beautifully
dressed, just ready for the table. Besides
dressed turkeys, duck-, geese chickens,
quails, etc. There are to be seen and pur-
chased at Temple Place what was perhaps
never seen in this town before—genuine
English Pheasants. The house-wife who
can visit Temple Place to-day, and not find
just what she wants for aChrisim »s dinner,
cannot be pleased anywhere, for nothing
can be found in any market in this
count y that is not now for sale
at Temple Place. We cannot
begin to enumerate the one-half we saw
there, nor do we ask you to take our word
for it, but go and see for yourselves, and
if you don’t find more than we have men-
tioned—aye, four-'old more than we have
even hinted at—then draw on us at sight
Remember, if you fail to visit Temple
Place, you miss seeing one of the finest
displays of,the kind ever placed before the
Fort Worth public.
The ladies are especially requested to
call.
—The reason why Mrs. C. D. Brown’s
sales are so large and her trade so lively
is that her goods are the finest and best
ami most stylish of any that come to
rlexas; and the further and greater cause
of her superior trade is that she spares no
pains to haye her work well done and her
customers perfectly fitted. She never
urges off misfits, nor palms off poor and
unbecoming styles nor unsuitable colors.
N. B.—Mrs. C. D Brown has on exhi-
bition an assortment of superior
goods for Christmas presents.
Come and see. 12 24-2t
fancy
Our circulator says be will take to day
for paying a Christmas visit to his friends,
and as he has many ot them, they are all
requested to have their little Christmas
gift of two bits each ready for him on his
arrival. ^ To all who settle promptly with
him lo-dny, he makes a promise not to
trouble them but once more this year.
Hand Them In.
We presume all the churches in the city
will have Christmas services to-morrow.
Now, in order that our readers, and more
especially strangers visiting the city, may
know just exactly what services to ex-
pect, and which church will best suit them
as a place to worship God in on Christmas
day, clergymen will please hand in their
church notices in full as early as possible
to-day.
Needs Attention.
We are informed that the bridge across
the Trinity at what is known as the Bird-
ville crossing, is sadly in need of repairs.
In fact, we are told that if it does not re-
ceive attention pretty soon, it will proba-
bly fall down, and some one may be seri-
ously liqrt, and the county be put to the
expense of building a new bridge. Some
organized effort should be made to brino-
this before the next session of the Con”-
missioners court, and, if possible, get it to
act on it.
Thanks.7
The Democrat and Advance
is under
obligations to those royal good fellows
Messrs. Hyde, Crawford, and Lee for invi-
tations to be present at the grand opening
of the English Kitchen, which takes place
this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. »t e know
these caterers will spread themselves as
well as an overladen table on this occasion
and we shall certainly avail ourselves of this
opportunity to enjoy a display of their un-
equaled hospitality. We shall have more
to say of this after the dinner.
Grand Rally.
Hon. L. H. Gillette, Ex-Congressman
from Iowa speaks at the court house in
Fort Worth, to-day, at 11 o’clock a. in., and
7 o’clock p. m.
A grand procession will he had at 10
o’clock a. m., and torch light procession at
night. All persons desiring to take part
in the processions are r quested to meet at
the Progress office, one-half block south-
west of the post-office, at 10 o’clock a. in.
sharp, and at Wilkes’ old livery stable, op-
posite the Waverly House, at 6 o’clo k p.
m. All persons are invited to take part in
the procession. 500 torch lights are ready.
Almost Miraculous.
Yesterday morning, as a wagon drawn
by two mules and heavily“laden with lum-
ber, was being driven down Weatherford
street, the mules became trightened at the
playful auties ot a loose horse in one ot
t,h lets near the street and taking advan-
tage- of the loosely held reins, off thev
went “like shot out of a shovel.” In
turning a street corner suddenly the two
men on the wagon were both thrown oft’,
and just after them the lumber. One of
the men was completely covered with the
lumber over which the wagon passed, but.
strange to sav, except a tew bruises, he
came out uninjured. The last seen of the
two mules they were flyingwith the front
portioigof the wagon towards the Pacific
coast.
That Hospital.
Mention has already been made in our
columns of the hospital enterprise: besides
tiiG communication of Dr. Bcail which, was
published in the Democrat and Advance
showed conclusively the benefits which
would accrue to the city7 from its establish-
ment here, and the plan propos d for rais-
ing funds for its erection. Dr. Beall pro-
poses himself to put in $500, and the ar-
rangements are such that all who invest in
it will be repaid to the full amount of their
investment. Since the appearance of Dr.
Beall s article he has been approached by
many of our leading citizens all of whom
approve of the undertaking and prom se
their aid ^ The size of our city, the
skill ami ability of our surgeons,
and the number of accidents
which are happening of late,
because principally ot the many railroads
whicn center here, are sufficient to show
to anyone who reflects for a moment
that we need a hospital. Not a two or
three thousand dollar shell of a buildin°\
but as is proposed by the originator of
the scheme a $20 OuO institution, with all
ttie late improvements and appurtenan-
ces. This kind of a building will be a
credit to the city7, and under that proper
management which can be given it here
the institution will be an object of pride
to our citizens. We trust the project will
meet with the encouragement and sub-
stantial aid whi h it deserves.
Bad One-Eye.
Y tsterday a telegram was received by
our officers here to “look out for a one-
eyed negro, who was charged with theft,
at Alvarado.” The telegram was shown,
among others, to Officer Maddox, who
was on the qui vive lor ‘ the remainder ol
the day.
Yesterday afternoon he was at the de-
pot when the east-bound train pulled in,
and, while looking, he espied a ne°ro
man standing on the further side ot one ot
the cars, as it preparing, or prepared, to
jump aboard w hen it started. Getting
close to him, Officer Maddox saw that he
had but one eye. He walked up to- him
and remarked, “I think yon are the
man I want.” The w-ords acted quicker
than electricity, for in a moment that
“coon ’ had darted away7, and was speed-
ing away at lightning speed.
Officer Maddox followed on close be-
hmd, and for a while it was difficult to
decide who was the fleetest.
J be officer finally nabbed him, however,
and now he will remain in the ’boose until
some of the Johns,m county officials come
after him, when he will be returned to
Alvarado So answer the charge of theft of
twenty-five dollars.
Come On.
We are prepared this morning to supply
our many customers and the public gen-
erally, with Drecsed Chickens. Dressed

Christmas.
We are now on the eve of celebrating
Christmas, in honor ot the Birth of Our
Savior. _ How many are they who look
upon this holiday in the proper light-
how many who celebrate it in a becoming
manner? Since the birth ot Christ this
holiday has bee 1 kept by the Christian
world, but we imagine in earlier days it
was kept in a manner somewhat different
tioni that o/ to-day. True, it has oyer
been a day of rejoicing, a day of feasting
a day of praise to God for his goodness hi
sending His Beloved Son to save us from
everlasting death; but we should celebrate
R in a manner becoming believers in
Him in whose honor the day is kept. The
idea has obtained that a Christmas cannot
be properly celebrated unless the celebrant
ails his hide with g or other in-
toxicatmg drinks, and “rears around ”
making everybody he meets teel disagree-
able, while he makes an ass ©f himself
g'-nerally.
We are not delivering a temperance lec-
ture, nor y^et a sermon, for we believe a
good egg-nogg. in its place, quite the
thing ; tmt we do think, ot all days in the

A New Paper.
. ^ur citizens may not know it, but there
is a new weekly paper published here
regularly, now. We had rhe pleasure of
looking over a copy of this publication
lasr evening, and we pronounce it a verv
creditable sheet. It wisely eschews poli-
tics, but goes into poetry very heavily
It is called the “Snow Flake, ” and is
issued from the Wesleyan College. We
feel slighted that we have not bee?i favor-
ed with a copy occasionally, and now just
in a spirit of retaliation, we respectfully
invite the editors to call and see us o -
ca-ionally. The little fellows get
real good paper and no mistake.

. There lias practically7 been no change
in the market since yesterday. Cotton
nas been firm and active at quotations of
yesterday.
Groceries, provisions, etc., remain at
previous quotations, with ample stocks
on hand to meet.all demands. As usu4
at this season of the *yTear, the trade i i
holiday goods is brisk, but as this oob-
lasts a few days, the merchants can’t ex-
pect to make much out of it.
The future market in cotton remains
about as it was yesterday. As the pres-
sure on our columns from other sources
is very great, we omit giving a compara-
tive statement, and refer fo our leWi-ains.
As Monday is a legal holiday, there will
be no further dealings in cotton after to-
day until Tuesday. And we need handy
expect an active market until after New
I ear’s day.
We give all quotations as yesterday:.
