Waco is on the most friendly
terms with Bolton and that
Waco is greatly rejoiced at the
prospect of a branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road going there.
THE Gonzales Inquirer does
not want to see women engaged
in politics. If the question Of
woman suffrage were submit
ted to vote Of the intelligent
ladies of the country we do not
believe it would be adopted.

The Cherokee Argonaut
thinks it is about time the can
vass for the fall election was

remember that in many things

The Journal is right. Good To-

raised.

corn bread, green's and molas-
ses, with branch water instead
of six wines.

ages and has brought suit I'M |
der the civil rights act to get
it.
The San Antonio Light says |
it has no personal feeling against
eX-United States marshal Rus
sell, but it does not want him |
re-appointed as marshal. 1t is
claimed that Russell made tell
ing speeches up north during
the late presidential campaign.
Those speeches were marked
for the bitter denunciation Of
the Southern people, and we
are doubtful, says the Light, if
thew did any good in the locality
