The Kansas editors were most Hospitality
entertained by the city of Galveston, on
their recent excursion to that place. They
met with much attention and kind treat
ment, and all are loud in their praises of
the place and Its people. This will serve
to mark a new epoch in the relations be-
tween Kansas and Texas.-Troy Republican.

on their bread, or If perchance they have
butter now and then, it is made in New
