While it seems like pulling teeth" to
many to pay for newspaper, it is refresh
ing to meet, as we now and then do, one
who seems to consider it not merely a duty,
but pleasure We were led to make this
remark from the fact that our worthy young
friend and correspondent. Thos j. Davis, of
Oyster Creek, the other day insisted on pay
ing his subscription for another year two
months before his time, formerly paid for,
hrd expired.
AND now we are quite ''stumped" Ito use
Yankee phrase), and are ready to doubt
the existence of any earthly paradise. We
had read much in former times of southern
California and especially of the town of
Santa Barbara as perhaps the finest climate
in the world great health resort, and all
that. At one time we thought of going
there instead of to Texas. And now now
comes a gentleman who resides in Mrs.
Stanfield's house, and who has travelled ex-
tensively, and informs us that he resided at
Santa Barbara for some time and found
it singularly unfavorable to health and by
no means pleasant on account of the chill
damp winds from off the sea, and from 9th
er causes.
