The Waco Examiner hits the

They may criticise ‘‘Ostler Joe”
as they please, but it has that in it
which plashesthe tears into the eyes
of honest men and pure women,
and poetry which accomplishes that
these days can’t be very bad poetry.
Whom will the Ireland men
spring when Ross fails? Hancock
or Brackenridge.-Galveston News.
Perhaps neither. However the
dark horse idea is becoming pop-
ular belief.
The case remains as before. The
grand jury returned a bill. How-
ever as the bill was based on the
testimony of the editors of the Free
Press, outside evidence from the
nature of the case not having
been material, without allowing the
editor of the Cresset a word in re-
gard to the affair we submit that
the case remains as before.
For God’s sake and for the sakeo
old Robertson county, in choosing
a man to represent us in the next
legislature, let us have one who will
undertake to give us relief from the
convicts with which we are so bitr
terlv accursed.—Hearne & Frank-
lin Paper.
Where the honest labor of the
country is forced into competition
with convict work it is time to call
a halt and ask for relief.
Free Press building indeed! We
have been combating the right of
the F. P. to preempt 860 acres in
the heart of 5an Marcos as its own
especial and exclusive newspaper
bailiwick. We hardly expected an
extension of the claim to buildings
thereon though. Free Press building
forsooth!
Mr Hardy expressed a very pat-
ent truth when he stated at the
meeting of the Merchants Exchange
that united action of the business
men could do much for the com
mercial good of San Marcos. He
could with equal truth have gone
further and added united action on
the part of all the citizens could do
more. The purchase for the site of
their Chhautauqua and the estab-
lishment of the same was the result
of united effort on the part of the
people of San Marcos. A similar
determination will give us what
San Marcos has long needed—a large
well terraced and handsomely fit-
ted up hotel.
The following beautiful epitaph was
found by the author of “Six Months
in Persia,”at Taft, withadateequiv
alent to 1577: “I had a light that
lighted all the world for me. Fate,
like a violent wind, whirled it away.
Since my unique pearl vanished
from my sight, my sad eyes day and
night, have turned with the pearls
called tears. Marvel not if bird and
fish wail at the sound of my mourn
ing for the very rocks have learned
continually to so echo my grief. In
his eleventh year, on the seventh
of the month,Rajah, young Abdul
Ali passed to Paradise on high. It
was eight hundred and forty and
eight from the glad tidings of the
Flight.—Frank Leslie’s Monthly.
Our little city is becoming more
and more an all the year round re-
sort. Invalids come in the winter
months to breathe the life invigor-
ating air, and pleasure seekers come
trooping in summer to enjoy the
many and many natural attrac-
tions and beauties of the situation.
Our Chautauqua bids fair to add
largely to the listof summer visitors.
Everything points the fact that a
large well fitted out hotel would
pay handsomely and prove a ben-
efit to the town in all kinds of ways.

Our jolly young friend Mr. T. H.
Egerton from the country spent the
past week in town. We are always
glad to see Tom’s beaming coun-
tenance.
The voluntary work of our fire
boys shows genuine zeal in the
cause. The truck house that they
built in one days time would be a

Major J. M. Adams of Dupre was
here on business this week.
Mess North craft & Mackin of San
Marcos were here Tuesday examin-
ing the plans for the new Presbyte-
rian church, we suppose with view
of making a bid on the work.
We understand that Mr. David
McNaughton has an outfit on the
road to start a paper at Kyle.
Mr. Granville McPherson of Blan-
co has been here the past lew days
in the interest of his paper the Star
Vindicator. He is the same old
pleasant Me as of yore.
Mrs. Kittie Hubbard has been
quite sick for the past week during
which time she was at the Commer-
cial. Her many friends will he
pleased to know that she is again
able to be up.
We are pleased to note that Mrs.
C. L. Sledge who has been quite
sick for several days is beginning to
improve. We hope to soon hear
of her complete recovery.
Mr. Brisco of Devine was in Kyle
a few days since arranging to move
here. He rented the business house
now being vacated by J. W. Vance
& Bro. He intends to open a con-
fectionary and probably ice cream
parlor.

to secure its success. The ladies de-
serve special credit in the manage-
ment of this entertainment, for
while it was intended as a benefit
to Live Oak Masonic Lodge, very
few Masons had time to assist in
the work They all found a chance
though to give the supper a liberal
patronage. We noticed several San
Marcos faces among the guests.of

Writes of Guinn’s Pioneer.
“Guinn’s Pioneer Blood Renewer
has been used with unprecedented
success. It is entirely vegetable and
does the system no harm. It im-
proves the appetite, digestion and
blood making,"stimulating, invigor-
ating and toning up all the functions
and tissues of the system, and thus
becomes the great blood renewer and
health restorer.’’
