BONHAM.
John C. Brown is Like Unto His Brother for Enterprise and Business.
Special to the Gazette.
BONHAM, TEX., Jan. 17.—We are rejoiced to know that ex-Gov. J. C. Brown of Tennessee has full control of the Texas & Pacific road. We can now feel assured that something will be done toward improving the road-bed and the old dilapidated depots to accommodate the passenger travel. Mr. Brown is the right man in the right place, full of enterprise and go-ahead, which is so characteristic to his family, he being a brother of Aaron B. Brown, postmaster-general under the Buchanan administration just prior to the war, of which Texas people have a right to know something about what he did for the mail facilities, Texas at that time being a wild and unsettled country. His name will ever be cherished as that of Sam Houston, and we look to John C. for railroad fares.
