Tha Ladies Lunch.
Next door below tho Du.mocuat office
the ladles of 1hc Presbyterian church
have, for the past three days, furnished
excellent dinne/s to the hurried -and
hungry wayfarers who fur.e.l up and
down our streets during the rush of the
convention of stockmen. Tiie patron-
age of the gentlemen of the city, and
tho visitors from abroad, lias been gen-
eral and generous. The ladies have
made quite a handsome sum toward the
purchase of a lot for the manse, which
they iulend building as soon as the
means can be procuied. They have
been earnest in their vndeavors to please
the palate, satisfy liunaer, and at the
same time make the little time con-
sumed by t heir guest a pass as pleasantly
as possible. Some of the strangers will
remember with pleasure the sunny
smiles and fairy lingers t lint ministered
so deftly to their hungry need, while
tiie ladies of■ Fort Worth will, in the
future, think gratefully of the chival-
rous gentlemen who generously laid the
foundation stone of 11 structure around
which deep interest centres. A more
couitly or kindly concourse of cavaliers
never assembled cround a festive board
than those who thronged the tables as
long as they could be entertained.
Besolutlon of Thanks.
The following resolution was ndoptcd
by the Wichita Falls excursionists, on

We, tiie'representatives of the live-
stock interests ofCiilcago and St. Louis
