bined with the business trip-no doubt
a very happy and satisfactory arrange
ment to the parties more particularly
concerned, and their friends.
Col. Jackman last week handed us
some very fine samples both OF native
Texas and Missouri corn of his raising.
We thought it could not be beaten,
but since Alex. Driskill showed US an
ear of Texas corn from his farm which
was a little ahead of the colonel's, be-
ing foot in length and large in pro-
portion. Col. j. also handed us some
stalks of prolific pop corn, one OF
which had seven we'll developed ears.
The STALKS resembled that lately pre-
sented us by ]. D. Cady, but the ears
of his we're of medium size.
Among the many new people we
see in our town of late, we had the
pleasure of call on Wednesday from
Prof. Edward Wise, president of Ma
sonic Institute, Palestine, Texas. His
testimonials show him to be an expe-
rienced and accomplished educator,
and as such he has occupied prominent
positions North and South. He would
like, if he could have assurances OF
sufficient patronage, to establish an
academy at San Marcos. and would
guaranty to build and furnish his own
building for the purpose. We would
commend his proposed enterprise to
the careful consideration of all whom
il may concern.
