Outside the Jailhouse:
Guy C. Barnum, one of the county commissioners, informed us on Wednesday last that about thirty-five boards from the railing of the Red river bridge had been stolen. We suggest that an effort be made to find out who the thief is and punish him to the full extent of the law. Any information that may lead to conviction of the scoundrel should be addressed to either of our county commissioners, G.C. Barnum, G.W. Galley or John Early.
Mr. Joseph Burrows has made preparations to bore for coal on his farm about nine miles northwest of Witchita Falls, at a point about a mile and a half from Shell Creek.
The county commissioners of Greer county have appropriated $50 for procuring tools, etc. in aid of the enterprise.
Guy C. Barnum left on Monday last with a drove of cattle which he tells us he will drive to the B.& M. road or to Omaha for convenience of shipping. It is a little strange to us that the Union Pacific railroad company do not get facilities here for loading and unloading stock. Every animal that goes on or off the cars here must do so at the risk of a broken limb. To put up one chute would not cost much, would be a great convenience to shippers and would amply repay the company for the outlay, and the truth is that it is a shame that our stock men should be compelled to drive elsewhere for shipping facilities.
The Journal office is under thanks to Mr. Geo. Galley for a bushel of the very best potatoes that it is possible for man to raise. These are of the Peachblow variety and are large and mealy. Mr. Galley tells that he raised on his farm potatoes that weighed three and a half pounds.
Cattle Moved through here Wednesday afternoon, I bet there was a good 300 heads of cattle. Mr. Wyatt and Mr. Corbin and a handful of young men and women left March First to herd the cattle to Wyoming Territory. We hope they have a safe journey and will return home soon .
