LOCAL MATTERS
(From the Courier of January 10, 1876)
Not a vacant house in the city.
Our restaurants keep well supplied with game.
Sherman brick layers were too busy to go to the circus.
A large quantity of buffalo hides are finding their way to our markets.
Bootblacks have raised the price of a "shine" to ten cents since New Year.
The series of holiday dances made sad havoc among some of the recent addition to some churches.
J.P. Hopson has been appointed by the city council to assess city taxes and take the census of the city.
Of the 10,000 good resolutions made New Years, 9,999 have already been broken, and the other one has not been heard from.
Young men take their stand on top of our new court house on Sunday morning to see what church their sweethearts go to.
In the absence of the editor, who is basking in the light of champaign and oysters in the Island City of the Gulf, we have omitted many tedious dry articles this week.

A SOBER SET OF PRINTERS
(From the Courier of January 10, 1876)
The Sherman Register claims the soberest set of printers in the State.  We are willing to acknowledg their sobriety, but claim that the Courier force is equally as sober.  Why, when some of our friends sent around the champaign last Wednesday, we actually had it sent out among our neighbors for some one to drink it.  The editor was not at home, however, and it was too close on New Year to break good resolutions, so we contented ourselves with smelling the cork and rubbing the front of our vests with the bottle.
