Among those whose names have besn

none seem 20 have stronger following

Hallettsyille Herald, Floresville Ohron'eIe'

him, while all are unanimous in according
to him that integrity and ability 30 impor'

Mr.. Miller has been resident OF Con
zales for nearly thirty years, and has won
the confidence and esteem OF all VINO
know him. During the war he made gal
liant soldier, and since its close has been
content to remain in private life Upon
the death of Col. Schleicher he was urged
by his friends TO become candidate FOL
Congress in the Sixth District, to which
solicitation he yielded, but withdrew from
the convention in favor of Col. Epson,
although he developed more strength than
the latter gentleman.
We are not personally acquainted with
Mr.. Miller, but he has many warm friends

fore the convention, and should he receive
the nomination we will support him cheer

The Political Position Of the Free Press.

We notice that a good many oil oui
contemporaries of the country press
are devoting a good deal OF Their
time and space TO manufacturing
governors, congressman, etc, - all
very disinterestedly, no doubt. we
however, have no objection to make
to their course, but as our readers
have no doubt observed, the course OF
the FREE Press is different. Our
idea is that the people are competent
to decide rs to who shall be their
servants, and we prefer to leave the
matter in their hands. Before nomi-
nations are made, we shall make 1T a
point to give all aspirants to Office a
fair and impartial showing in our
columns, without committing ourself
to any. We stand ready, as mat
ter of course, to allow any OF all of
them, directly or by their friends, to
present their respective claims before
our readers, for which we shall charge
the usual fees. After the nOmina-
tons, where nominations are made,
we shall support the regular, duly
chosen nominees in square and
manly style, without however, making
ourself especially officious, believing
that even then the voters of the
country will be able to get along
comfortably without our supervision
or guardianship. Such has been
our course thus far in Texas, and
such it will remain while we have
charge of public journal. We
believe our position will meet the
of the thoughtful reader.

"reminiscences of Tree Planting.

The late Judge Mason, of Iowa, planted

down in 1877, and enough boards kept to
make him a coffin when he died. Accor-
ding to his wishes, he was laid away for his
long sleep in the coffin made from the tree
he had planted 33 years before.
The elitor of the FREE PRESS, while re-

pleasant one, the trees being thorny. He
planted in the spring, first pouring hot
water on the seed, which caused it to
sprout nicely. He cultivated it with corn
till the young trees got a start, when he sold
out and left the country. Seventeen years
afterwards he revisited the scene, and was
considerably astonished to behold quite
fore looming up on the prairie where
he had engaged in tree culture. Many of
the trees, if not cut down, are no doub

The latest news from the Texas Western
is that it has consolidated with Bremonds
road Chief Engineer Heriot is reported as
saying:
The Texas Western will cross the Brazos
within week. and in five days after the
crossing, train will be run into Sealy, on
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad.
This will be great consummation and will
absolutely insure the success of the road.
The Texas Western has had many untoward
difficulties to encount r, but owing to the
liberality of the stockholders and the in
domitable pluck and sagacity of the general
manager, Captain f. L. Heriot, those diff
culties have been fairly overcome and in
spite of cranks and croakers, few days will
place the road complete in itself from Hous-
ton to Sealy: and in command of a paying
business. The extension of the road be-
yCnd to LaGrange and finally to Fredericks-
burg, will only be question of time.
