astonished TO see her hastily moving
sticks OF wood and rocks as if her very

l suppose that any information in re-
gard to Austin's vanishing chances for
ever regaining the trade of the north
western counties by the building of
"the narrow gauge" to or towards Lam
pasas will be considered purely sensa-
tional, and so attract no attention from
your people. Still, some information
might be given that ought to set the
spades at work within month. First,
for certain geographical facts as pre-
limnary. The Lampasas and Austin
road, into which the travel from the
more western counties falls on its way
to market, runs west and parallel with
belt of rocky post oak ridge of say
ten miles IN width, lying between it
and Georgetown and Round Rock.
The road itself being say fifteen and
eighteen miles from these places respec-
lively. Nov, all the westerA country
travel has to cross this rocky belt if it
goes TO either of those towns, and most
of it does go to enc OF them, though
some still holds to the Austin road and
reaches your city. To save all the
western travel to these towns, and whet
isoi more importance to insure the en-
tire Freichtage to the International raul
,road. and to cut off all chances of the
Austin narrow gauge also, it 10 only
necessary To extend the Georgetown
road across this rocky belt some ten or
twelve miles in the direction Of Liberty
Hill Nobody who knows the country
but knows also that when that is done
.Austinwill never see another wagonload
of whest or bale of cotton from this
direction. So far as cutting OFT the
trade of Austin is concerned, the build
ing of this extension to Liberty Hill,
or below, so as to intercept the Burnet
road, Is just as effective as to build an
other hundred miles northwest. And
now for the information. / am told
by one claiming to know, that. the
route has been quietly examined, and
shst very shortly the International will
have this short extension under way,
and with 8 full force push it to rapid
COMPLETION.
VIII Austin AZ once push the narrow
gauge up the western side OF the post
baks 10 this point, or soy to Blgdad,

Liver Regulator or Medicine manufac-
tured by ]. II ZsilIn g. Co, like ali
standard and really valuable articles,
has met with o degree of annoyance
from imposteIs and mereenary advent

fame of the Regulator has induced I'M

compounds called by come garbled
part OF our title or name in the market.
A majority OF these enterprises haYe
died natural death, but others are Pc
riodically cropping out. To those who
have not yet learned the great worth
of the Regulator this word of caution
is necessary. To the invalid it may be
a question of life and death. Ask for
simmons' Liver Regulator, and look
for the signature of j. H. Zsilin & Co.,

white wrapper. Accept no colorado
