The AMERICAN SKETCH Book No.
2, edited and published by Mrs. Bella
French, is before us, and sustains the
reputation of the first number well.
We notice as new feature that the
Odd Fellows have a department in it.
Mrs. French is now in San Marcos, for
the purposes of gathering material for
writing up the place in a historical,
statistical, business and social point Of
view. We would again commend this
worthy and gifted lady to the good Of
fees of our people.
