AUsTIN's GROWTH. 1t is q nOticea-
BILE fact that in the past few years Aus
tin has improved in no other particu-
lar more than in the increase in num-
Der and character of her restaurants,
boarding-houses and first class retail
grocery stores. Six years ago we had
but two or three good retail grocery
stores against a dozen or twenty to-
day, and the best one then was moth
ing to compare with several that Aus
tin can boast of now. And inpOint
of restaurants and boarding houses the
contrast is still greater. We can re-
time, Kluges, and the only large board
ing houses were the Beall House, Mrs.
PALMS and Mrs. McCalPs, with few
others that could accommodate from
four to eight persons. Now we have
four or five restaurants and dozen
or more boarding houses that in
size and management rise to the
dignity of hotels. In addition, to
these advancoments, the Raymond
House and City Hotel have been
enlarged and the Avenue has been
very materially improved and remod-
oled. When we stop to observe the
growth and Improvement of Austin
since she got her first railroad, Just
seven years ago, we can hardly realize
that we have had the "hard times"
about which so much has been SAID.
At the close of the war and for the
three or four years that followed, the
population of this place numbered less
than 1000, and in 1870 the census
showed but 400. The city in appear
ance had really gone down hill; its
buildings were of the plain old-fash-
toned sort, dilapidated and sadly in
need of repairs and paint. But to-day
the signs of stagnation and decay have
passed away, and the stranger who
visits Austin now sees proud little
city of at least IL, 900 people, largo
and costly stores built of solid stone
and to conform to the demands of
modern taste, style and architecture.
Magnificent residences, with all mod
ern convenicnces, dot every portion of
town, and we have churches and
schools that meet the wants of our
people. The public enterprises of the
place are gas aud water works, Ice
manufactures, foundrios, mills, tan
merry, shops, etc. We have State fair
association, a street rlii~uJl bldg
across the nvor- and new theater.
Two s~itroads give US connection with
the outside world, and in many par
ticulars Austin is a 'ssure enough
city. Really, as on this New Years
day we glance back. over the past, We
cannot but conclude that Austin has
nothing about which to complain.
With little public spirit and enter
prise on the part of her people she viii
grow and improve more in the next
seven years than she has IN the past
seven, and certainly the ran who has
lost faith in the bright future of this
place must deserve to be pointed at as
u chronic grumhler and a false prophet.
Say what they will, talk as they may,
Austin is the proadest and prettiest
little city in the State.

The Lad,es and Local ONION.

Editors Democratic Statesman:
Whilst there have been many vnlua-
BILE suggestions IN regard to matters
that should receive the attention of the
coming Legislature, there is one of
much importance to the interests fol
society, that has not yet been men
toned. l aIlude to the local option
law, which / believe, so far as it has
been fairly tested, has been success,
at least sufficiently So to warrant an
advance movement. And to secure
this would suggest that the local
option law be SO amended as % dllo1

thing more than right that their vo.ce
be heard and felt in the adoption of
measures that will relieve suffering,

voice coming from tIpplers, saloon
keepers and whisky politicians, shout

Don't be alaTmedl Those VINO adj
vOcate the use of ardent spirits,
saloon keepers and politicians, who
care not for suffering women aud
children, are of course afraid
of woman suffrage. The object is not
to- invest them, in a political sense,
with universal suffrage, but simply to
invest them with authority to aid, in
legal way, in supervising this great
evil. The question is being mOoted III
other States, and the effort made in
the form of petition, asking that, by
suitable legislation, it may be provided
that the question of licensing in the
State, at any time, in any locality, the
sale of intoxicating liquors, even to
wine and beer, be submitted to and de-
termined by ballot, in which women
of lawful age shall be allowed to vote
under such restrictions as obtain in ref
erence to voting by men on such ques-
tons. Let those who suffer most have
voice in the matter, and the benefi-
cial results will soon be apparent, and
to this end we suggest that the friends
of temperance and good order, men
and women all over the State, unite In
circulating petitions and obtaining sig
natures, asking the Legislature to so
amend the local option law as to Sc
cure to women of lawful age the right

Am AstonIshInr Fact

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the eff
fccts of dyspepsia or disordeTed liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and useful people
is most alarming, making life actually
a burden instead of pleasant exist
ence of enjoyment and usefulness rs il
ought to be. There is no good reason
for this. If you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take the adj
vice OF druggists and your friends, and
try one bottle Of Gresnas August Flow

Millions of bottles Of this medicine
have been given away to try its virtues
with satisfactory results in every case.

were confined to the stores occupied by

chants. Both stores were enveloped
in cloud OF smoke and darting, sitting

more zeal or amazing effect than on

given them for the noble work they
did, and now, more than ever before,

heartily appreciate the Austin Fire D.

A good fire department, without water

powerless to do much good. The IRE

back end, but how is not known. Mr..
LcvysOn states that there was no fire
in the store Christmas day, and that
during the afternoon he stepped in to
see that everything was all right. He
has no idea how the fire occurred. He
carried stock of from $4,000 to $4,000,
all OF which was destroyed. He was
insured in the Phoenix Insurance
Company, of Hartford, represented by
e. w. Stands, for $4,000. Mccullough
~ Booth had consignment stock of
notions and dry goods amounting to
about $4,000 or upwards, all of which
was destroyed. They had no Insur-
ance. Mr.. Hirshfeld met with very
slight damage by few cases of goods
on his upper floor getting wet. Male
vinsley s. Co. sustained a loss of about
5000 by water. They were insured in
the Fire Association of Philadelphia,
represented by Blandford & Castles,
for $4,000, and also by Col. Snands
for $4,000. The inside of the stores
occupied by Mr.. Levyson and McCul-
Tough & Booth were almost entire
