road to San Marcos, and the improve
ment OF various wagon roads leading TO
contiguous towns, will make that city
the natural distributing point for a large
section of country that has heretofore
depended on Austin and San Antonio
aud the seaboard towns for its supplies;
cntailing the disadvantage of long
haul over rough mountain roads.
Recognizing the advantages OF San
Marcos as business point, the richness
of the surrounding country which is
destined to support large population,
| am now erecting business house
there and will as soon as possible Il
hope by October lst,) open an extensive
JoBBINa GROCERY HOUSE.
1t will be my aim to establish and main.
tain roliu bic HOME MARKET which
will offer the advantages Of easy access
and closer figures than more distant
markets can make with ireights added.
Nix successful career as q merchant in
Texas is Il guarantee that with ex'en.
sive connexions in every market and
fayora BILE contracts with Importers and
Manufacturers | can lay goods in SIN
Marcos at as low cost as any merchant
in the United States can do it, and | will
make prices to the trade in that and
surrounding towns that will | am conf
dent awaken an interest in the HOME
MARKET.
Hoping soon to have the pleasure Of
opening friendly business relations with
you which will be mutually agreeable
and profitable. am
Very Respectfully Yours:

WE have heard of few OF our pat
rons complaining OF the amount OF
political matter in the FREE Press for
some time past. This complaint. in the
midst of an important National
State and local campaign, We think Is
quite unreasonable. Our own taste is
for different sort Of reading, but We
could not be recreant to political duty
With this weeks issue, however. the
campaign will close, alter which We
shall take pleasure in again giving that
choice literary, miscellaneous aud locs!
variety for which the FREE Press has
generally been distinguished.

HOUSTON! : COTTON.

Those who have shipped me
the past season will testify that
/ have saved them money and
given general satisfaction, both
in classification and prices. By
referring to the official quotations
of the different markets during
three of the best Cotton months
Of last winter it will he seen that
Houston quotations were equal
to, and frequently higher, than
New Orleans or Galveston.
Greater facilities this season for

enable me to serve my customers

Those Of us who signed the card 10
the FREE Press just wanted to know
how it was that democrats noo could
cooperate with Ncwcomb the head cen
ire Of Loyal. Leagueisn,, and ask him to
make speech and unite the republicans
against Green 10 favor of McMeans.
In writing the letter for Martin to
Newcomb, McMeans refers to himself,
therefore, according to his own showing,
he is party to it, and responsible for
its contents. See Sec. 6 McMeans cir
culnr. McMeans says: If such
had been the case would it not have
been more natural for Brown to have
asked his deputy to do lis writing for
him when in fact McMcans was not
appointed Browns Deputy until June
&c, 1871, nearly ID months after the
letter called the Brown letter,
Now gentlemen, we leave the whole
matter with the voters Of Hays county,
We ask you to remember that Green
has never uttered single charge against

that has been done by him is matter Of
