While we do not like to write things
/ detrimental to the good name OF our OWL
town, certain facts pertaining to the safe
tv and peace of our community ought tC
he given. Lately our citizens have been
disturbed and alarmed by drunken men
driving furiously along our streets and MI
| ing the air with their screams. The third
instance of the kind known to us during
a single week, occurred Friday, evening
Between eight and nine O'Clock, a man
crazcd with strong drink, passed along
West Nam street, screaming at tile top OF
his voice. and when opposite the resi-
|flencc of J, NJ. Greenman, discharged a
|Distol. frightening considerably the neigh
borhood. So frequent are these demon
STATIONS CT drunken dclirium, that some
90 SO far as to say it is not safe to either
90 out of or return to town after dark.
The citizens of Austin owe it to their self
respect and personal safety to take some
measures to abate the source OF all this
discord and danger.

united in marriage, the groom being ~
years of age and the bride q. And now

! ally allotted to most COUPLES, they are
! privilege, in their western home, to gath,
er of their descendants, children and
| grandchildren, seventeen in number, be
meath their hospitable roof, and review all
the way a kindly providence has led them
and theirs. AS token of respect and
affection, Mr. Buck was presented with a
gold-headed cane, and Mrs. Buck with a
beautiful set of silver spoons. The com
pany then partook OF bountiful dinner
Among the friends present to enliven the
occasion, was Mr.. S. G. Bacon, playmate
in childhood of Mrs. Buck, and Mrs. Bacon
On The rare occasion of a Golden wed
ding, we feel impelled to extend ou1
congratulations to the venerable couple
and wish them many years more O.
welded bliss, and that in the evening o.
their days, ministered to by loving children
and hallowed by heavenly benedictions
these hours may be their brightest ant
their best.
| "A CoRREcTIoG.-Out Of respect tt
the wishes Of E. J.. Stimson of Browns
gaze, cousin Of the late Col. Harr!
Rogers, we desire to make few cor
in our article in the TRANSCRIPT Sept
2Gth, in regard to- "a Neglected Grave.
First, Mr.. Stimson says the Col. did no
leave $1,000 of property. Mr.. Stimsol
received the life insurance only, whic]
amounted to about $4,000. His othe
property consisted of $40 acres of land il
Mower county, three or four lots il
Brownsville, and one or two lots in Aus
tin. Miss Richardson, the Colonies at
fianced, who was given the real estate
Mr.. Stimson thinks, sold the land TO
about $40 per acre, but the amount sh
received for the lots he does not know
So it would seem that the total value o
the estate, including the life insurance
could not have been much in excess o
IS, 500, instead of $4,000 as stated. III
also says that it is not true that he wa
Col. Rogers only living relative. Tn
jC0ls father and mother were dead, bu
he has now some six uncles living, beside
numerous cousins He says most of tn
uncles are rich, but as they are Quakers
they do not believe in spending none,
far grave stones. Mr.. Stimson says tn
reason he did nothing toward stone a
the time was because Miss Richardson
wanted the remains removed to her HON,
in the east The matter remained IN thi
unsettled condition until Miss r. died
and Nh. Stims0n had become involved il
financial difficulties. It is but due to Mr.
StiEasOn that this much should be said il
his behalf, and also that he is willing t,
shoulder the blame. He acknowledge
his mistake in not attending to the mat
ter years ago when he was able to do it.
