favors the calling of an extra he.-slon of

not) keep a tmrrel near oy lilleu only

in so small a quantity rapidly absorbs
atmospheric poisons ami thereby
breeds disease.
Fifteen miles away tlicio is a large
ami perpetual spring Known ns l'uck
etts, ihc water or which is very
highly spoken of. It is believed that
if Abilene had the cntcrprl-c, as she
has the capital, aid would convey
through piping a supply of this spring
water, nothing whatever would stand
in the way of her rapid building up,
far beyond what may in any event bo
Iter natural expectations.
It is, however, lost sight of that
every new-comer to Texas must pass

those coming from Louisiana and Mis-
wetiipin, ourenargeu as tney oiten are

The railroad buildings at Cisco are not

such example Is commonly followed
by the citi.ens of all places cannot bo
said, but It certainly is here. On every
side handsome brick, stone and frame
buildings mo being erected which well
bespeak the prospciity of the mer
chants. The outward manifestations of a
refined society are apparent in tho
school houses and church spiles. The
Methodists have a very eomlortablo
building, well finished; fho Daplists
aie completing a line house. The
Presbyterians have purchased a lot
and very shortly will build. Tho
hpis-oopnllnns aro soon to erect a four
