 The Daily News Thursday, November 13, 1879 pg. 4 Significant From Whitesboro Correspondence Sherman Courier The first cotton over the D & P from Gainesville reached our city yesterday, en route for Denison. The familiar faces of the professional teamsters who have so long cussed, and prayed, and hurrahed and raved, between Sherman and Gainesville will be seen no more. Sherman will now begin to feel the bad effects of a road reaching 30 miles west of her into the most densely settled portion of the state, and emptying the produce of this populous section into the lap of Denison. The completion of the Trans-Continental would be a great boon to Sherman; but whether or not it will ever be built is beyond the knowledge of mortal man. The endeavor to come at a reasonable solution of the mystery surrounding the irratic movements of this road, I opine to be the cause of Tom Scott's insanity. Tom Scott is not as insane as this writer may imagine. If this correspondent will look at the Globe-Democrat of the 10th he will see that Mr. Scott purposes to connect his road with the M.K. & T. and the D. & P. at Denison.
