Forney, Tex., July 24 - Officer P.E. Yates arrived in Forney last night having in charge Solomon Stirling, colored, who escaped from him the other day. Stirling is wanted on a charge of wife-beating and several other crimes. He was captured near Marshall.

The people of this precinct are strictly in favor of moniating a candidate for the legislature. Terrell went solid for the independent candidate last election, and is therefore opposed to nomination.

The Forney base ball club have made a game to play Rockwall next Friday.

It is generally conceded that this precinct will instruct for Jo Abbott for congress.

Chairman T.H. Dailey has called the primary for July 28.

The hay men have been very busy for the past ten days filling orders for hay while it is firm and commands good prices.

Col. T.H. Dailey's house in South Forney is nearing completion, and when completed will be one of the neatest in the city.

Capt Urea of Marshall was in the city yesterday with the view of establishing a national bank. The citizens welcome him among us.

The contracts for several new residences will be let soon.
