Friend Eiband, of the New Braunfels lei

here, Just in time to harmonize things. The
dead lock" was at once dissolved by one of
his eloquent speeches.
We meant to have mentioned last week o
call during the conventions from brother
Yanden, of the Seguin Times-the first
time we have seen him at this place. And
now he was so engrossed with politics that
we saw but little of him.
Miss Chenoweth and others who went to
Huntsville to take second course at the
State Normal school, were disappointed. it
having been discovered, at the eleventh
hour, that there was a provision ruling out
applicants for second term unless they had
taught school before the second applica-
ton.
Mr.. Underhill, of Underhill & Co., mar
BILE dealers, Austin, was here Wednesday on
business connected with his vocation. We
learn he has several orders here for grave
stones, monuments, etc. He will fill all such to
satisfaction. He expressed himself as much
pleased with our town, and thought our new
cemetery only needs improving to be almost
unrivaled in beauty.
Mr.. Postmaster Heaton reached home on
Saturday night from his Northern tour hav-
ing been gone about one month. He left
his native home in Maine when a young
man, intending to be absent only six
months. But the spirit of travel and adj
benture took possession of him, he went into
the Mexican war, married..in New Orleans,
and settled and raised a family in Texas, SO
that the six months expanded into Al years
before he revisited the home and scenes of
his youth. However, he yet found the visit
most interesting. Four surviving brothers
were privileged again to meet. Esquire
Heaton's father, Isaac Heaton, was prom
inent citizen of Washington, Maine, men,
Der of the Legislature in 1884. He preserv-
ed the Daily Journal which contained its
proceedings, which the Squire brought with
him, and showed to us, also other family rel
les. The Squire found, as was only to have
been expected, vast changes in the way of
the improvement of the country since he
left it. He returns in somewhat improved
health, and we hope it may continue to i'm
prove.
