Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Johnson
& Johnson, was among our recent ar-
rivals from New York, where he has
been on a business trip. San Marcos
merchants will soon be supplied with
the very best the great metropolis can
furnish, in style and comfort in the
line of dry goods.
Misses Jesse Walker and Maggie
Mooney, charming young ladies of
Luling, who have been enjoying the
last weeks programme of our Chau-
qua, returned home yesterday.
Certain society young men are in-
consolable in consequence of the de-
parture of the fair visitors. Well! well!
we will have a railroad to our sister
city before a very great while.
That energetic livery firm, Brown
& Lindsey, have had their “bus”
painted and fitted up, and it now
looks as new and bright as a silver
dollar fresh from the coiner's hand.
They have also purchased a vis a vis,
a new style of city carriage that is
just the dandiest thing on -wheels.
Brown & Lindsey are sure to keep
pace with the general progress or San
Marcos.

that place.
The shod election gives us the fol-
lowing directors for the public school:
W. O. Hutchison, Ghas Hutchings,
R. Fromme, E. DeSteiger, A. C.
Mosher and Squire Rucker.
The presentation of $200. to Rev. H.
M. DuBose, may be taken as earnest
of the very flattering impression he
has created at San Marcos during the
exercises of the Chautauqua.
No invitations will be issued to the
wedding at the Presbyterian church
to-morrow night. As is usual on such
occasions all are expected, especially
the relative and friends of the bride
and bridegroom.
It is announced that San Marcos is
ave another paper, devoted strict-
e interest of our Chautauqua,
heenterprise abundantsuc-
ksion is one in which
.interest.
Mr. Alf Price, who has been spend-
ing several weeks at “Giddy Gotham”
carefully selecting his fall and winter
stock of everything nice in the line of
ladies and gentleman’s wearing appar-
el, is at home again. Close onto his
heels follows a world of dry goods
boxes from the great fashion centre of
America. As the boxes arrive they
are being unpacked. When the en-
tire invoice has been stowed on the
shelves and in the show cases, Green
& Price's fashion and notion empo-
rium will be as some Eastern bazarr,
bright with everything new and pret-
ty, in cut and texture, to please the
most aesthetic taste.
We take the following extract irom

DIED.
At the residence of his son E. V.
Weems, near Lecompte, on Sunday,
August 23d, 1885, at 4 a, m., in the
81st year of his age. Dr. N. C. Weems;
a native of Prince George County,
Md.
The deceased removed to Rapides
about the year 1830. Atlthis time this
was a new country just settling up;
the class of young men moving in
were of no ordinary mold. Energetic,
industrious, enterprising, full of
youthful ardor and ambition, they
came in search offortuneand of fame,
and many of them have left their
names impressed upon the annals of
their time. Into this whirlpool of
restless, striving humanity, was young
Weems thrown.
Dr. Weems was a graduate of the
University of Baltimore. He firs',
located as a physician in this town.
After remaining here a few years, he
removed to his plantation on Lamou-
rie and as a country physician con-
tinued his practice. By economy,
industry, energy and a close applica-
tion to business, he accumulated
quite a handsome fortune, but in
common with many others, saw it
swept away by the war.
Dr. Weems was the father of our
esteemed townsman Mr. C. C. Weems.

We are in receipt of a copy of the
San Marcos Cresset, a newspaper
recently started at San Marcos,
Hays county, Texas, and of which
C. M. Hull, a Jackson boy, is editor.
The Cresset is a sprightly, non-
political paper, specially devoted to
educational matters and local in.
terests, judging from the number
before us. Mr. Hull is a graceful
writer and we wish him and his
paper abundant success.—Jackson

DENTISTRY.
In introducing himself profession-
ally to the citizens of San Marcos and
vicinity, Dr. H. A. Fuller takes pleas
ure in announcing that he has se-
cured a large and well ventilated
office, southern exposure, over Firs!
National bank, especially adapted to
the comfort of his patients during the
heated season. He desires to state
that he has come to Texas to remain
and feels there is room for a home in
San Marcos.
Having had a thorough training in
a first class dental college, and with
an experience of nine years practice,
he guarantees perfect satisfaction to
all those requiring his services.

A Big Fish Story. '
General Parsons aged 77, lives be-
tween Sinclairville and Bemus
Point, on Chattanooga Lake. A
short while ago he rowed out on the
lake to troll for pickerel. After
capturing several fine ones he hook-
ed one that it took him half an
hour to conquer. He landed it in
his boat without any aid. vIt was
over four feet long and weighed over*
thirty pounds. He subsequently
hooked another very large one,
which he lost. Then he went home.
The disappointment he felt after
losing the last fish was so keen that
it was with difficulty that he could
be induced to go to bed that night
without going to the lake again and
trying to capture the lost fish. He
finally retired, but at midnight
arose.
“There is no use talking,” he
said, “I can’t sleep until I get that
pickerel.”
His betermination was so strong
that his family could not restrain
him. He went back to the lake,
rigged up his tackle, and began
trolling in the dark. A half-hour
afterwaad he returned home with a
twenty pound pickerel.
“There’s the cunning old rascal,”
said the General, placing the big
fish on the kitchen table. “He
couldn’t sleep, either, you see, know-
ing I would come hack and give
him another turn.”
There was no way to tell whether
the twenty-pounder was the one
the General lost or not, but he firm-
ly believed that it was and went to
bed and slept like a top all the rest
of the night.—N. Y. Sun.
Mr. Manning went into the Cab-
inet under patriotic obligation.
More thg,n any other he was respon-
sible for the democratic nomination
of Cleveland, and when the time
came to organize . the administra-
tion he felt himself bound to do all
that he could to make it successful.
As every one knows, it was a serious
sacrifice of personal interest and
comfort, but he made it willingly,
and we dont believe that he will
abandon his post except for reasons
of a most imperative nature, such
as are not yet apparent. Manning
is one of the strongest supporters
that the administration has to rest
upon, and we are sure that he will
stand by it for the sake of the great
public interests which are involved.

The Apaches have smoke signals by
