We should have made mention in our

house of Mr.. Murehison, He is of course
jubilaut .rY-s
In view ofa recent local event, the ne
cessity of au asylum for hopeless inebriates

Fairfield, Freestone county, where she has a
position in the academy of Maj Bishop, and
made the FREE PRESS brief call.

Mr. Chas. Hutchings the popular and
handsome young man of the firm of G.. w.
Donaldson q Co. in addition to his other
accomplishments is also quite an organist,
he has purchased the organ formerly used
by the M E. Church, and the poor typos
next door are very frequently treated to
good music--to be sure not such inspiriting
melodies as "Capt jerks" Little Brown
Jug" ''Shoo Fly etc., but very good new
ertheless.
Happening out beyond the college the
other day, we were surprised to note the
Improvement on the late residence of j.
P Kone. The house is enlarged to about
twice its former dimensions, and other
wise improved. We learn that MIR. Kone's
mother now owns and will soon occupy it,
and that Sam Will take. possession of the
ODD homestead at Stringtown as benedict and
p ospective pater .familias.
With the term of Commissioners Court
which was held this week, two of its men,
bers viz John L. Malone and Peter Schmitt,
retire from the cares of Office. They have
been good and efficient members of per-
haps the most important Board of Commits
sioners which has ever served in Hays coun-
ty,y and we have no doubt they have acted
as members of the same with an eye single
to the public good, in their honest judgment,
and that however some may dissent now, the
general verdict will ere long be, '''well done,
good md faithful servants" Their retire
ment is of but small Importance to them,
for there is neither large amount of mon
ey nor superabundance of thanks atten-
dant upon the position.
