county, by Col. Jack Mills, noted character in
Texas, and candidate for legislative honors is one

fines the doctrines of Young America in racy
style: and shows very clearly how vast gulf there
is between Young America y and Old Fogyism.--
We shall not be surprised to hear that this modest
candidate is successful in his aspirations to seat i
the Texas Legislature.
