ONE Of our citizens has favored US with a
copy of the Cartersville, Ca, Free Press"
containing some observations Of one OF the
Baptist minister en- route to Mexico, ON our
town from which We extract as follows
One of the most thriving trading points
between Waco and San Antonio is young
and growing city called San Marcos. II il
situated on the banks Of river by the
same name, said to be the most beautiful
stream in Texas. The fountain head of
this river is scarce half mile distant from
the court house. One can not spend an hour
more pleasantly than slowly roaming up
this river, gazing at the luxuriant acquatic
vegetation. There is o richness and variety
here of water plants. seldom seen In other
streams, the temperature Of the water IL
about 20 degrees, II Ii used for drinking
and nearly all other purposes by most OF
people. Water works are soon to DO erected
here, which will materially add to the COM
fort and convenience of the citizens Of San
Marcos. The court honse at this point Is
model Of beauty and taste, costing the
county about $50, 900. The farmers in this
section, Judging from appearances are pros
pering. Indeed was told TINT scarce q
farmer in all that section but was making
money. At this point Mr.. J. W. Nance the
SON. in-law Of our townsman. Mr.. Alfred
Williams, has established himself and is do
ing, as learn splendid business. I had
the pleasure of spending a day and night
with Mr.. Nance and family on my return
from Mexico. I found them enthusiastic
over the future OF their section and hopeful
for their own future.

Ought to be Relieved.

Jose Angel Lara, an aged Mexican, who
lives at San Marcos, but who comes to San
Antonio frequently, appeared at the mayors
Office, and wanted to get q certificate from
the mayor permitting him to get drunk
whenever he came to the city. He stated
that he was one of the Oldest settlers OF
western Texas and that on his frequent WIS.,
its to San Antonio he had invariably got
drunk, been arrested and fined by the re-
corder, and that the amount he had paid in
fines was over one thousand dollars. Ho
gave statistics 70 prove his assertion, and
wanted to be relieved of fines in the future
We think, as he simply got drunk, without
being boisterous. that he ought to have i'm
munity In the future.
As to the above, which we copy from the
San Antonio Times, we think the Senior La
RI should have as much Indemnity" as his
more aristocratio fellow citizens.

Another Charley Ross Case.

Mrs. z. H. Teller sends us from Michigan
q copy Of the Florence, Wisconsin mining
News" containing full account of little
Willie w. Dickinson, who is believed TO
have been kidnapped. His father, Capt.
w. e. Eickenson lives at the Commonwealth
mine in that state. The little boy left school
for home on the evening of Nov. LIST, 1881.
He was seen on his way home, but never
reached there. Some suspicious looking
men passed about the same time, and they
are supposed to have kidnapped him.
Every possible effort has been made for his
recovery, and there have been various prom
isine clues started in various parts of the
country but SO far have amounted to moth
ing. Mrs. Teller writes thinking the
abductor may have taken him to the far
away state of Texas, and wishing you might
be able to find him, send the paper giving
the details" We have not space for the
full account, but append tho following de-
scription of the boy:

A SENSATIONAL DEATH on EM!iN.
CIPATI0N DAY.
Negro Orator Falls from the Stand In
a Fit and Breaks his Neck.

Our colored people celebrated emancipa.
ton in force by speeches and barbecue on
the Blanco. After speeches by Judge Wal
tiers aud Judge Kone of this place, Low
Irwin, well known leading colored man of
this county, assembled the stand, "a box
about three feet in height, to follow. He
had spoken but short time, without much
apparent excitement, when he made vio-
lent gesticulation and fell forward TO the
ground on his face, and II was found that
his neck was broken. Congestion Of the
brain seems to have overtaken him, causing
the fall. It's rather difficult to explain, un.
less 1t is because Gas he stated himself dur
Ing the day. he had drank good deal more
than was usual with him. He was marshal
of the day and the leading spirit Of the CO.
casion, the weather was very hot, and We
presume he was somewhat excited.
Levi Irwin, we believe was a worthy man
and good citizen, of more than ordinary
force among his people, fluent speaker, q
leader of his race, and whose influence was
welded for their good.

Fruits in Dakota.

a Dakota Inter Ocean correspon-
dent writes:
Now right here. my friends, | want
TO say that small fruits will grow here
Just as surely as they will in the east.
| am a farmers wife, and in our gar
den near Sioux Falls, we have straw
berries, gooseberries, raspberries,
blackberrleS, currants. plums, cherries
and grapes, and SO can any western
farmer have if he gets good trees and
plants and takes good care of them.
Many worthless trees and vines have
been sent to western farmers by trav-
cling agents and nursery men. which
has done more to discourage western
farmer by travelling agents and nurs-
eTymen, which has done more to dis.
courage western farmers about fruit
growing than all other things put to-
gether. When ! sat down to write my
subject was strawberries. The plants
cost but tritle and in some places they
are to be had for the asking. They can
be set at any time before the ground
freezes. They spread rapidly and do
moderately well with ordinary soil and
little cultivation. Indeed | think if
every farmer set the plants, leaving
them entirely to nature. the dear, fruit
hungry children of the prairies would
not lack, at least in strawberry time,
for fruit.

The Minneapolis Tribune de-

scrihes Bismarck 5 exhibit as follows:
Bismarck undoubtedly ''takes the
cake" with her display, which is in
charge of Col Wallace, who has car
ried off the blue ribbon for his town
in past seasons. An arbor with arch
roof, thatched with wheat straw, SO
arranged that the heads only are visi-
bic, is l0xl2 feet in size and fifteen
feet high. The corner posts are hid
der by straw. The heads of wheat
deftly arranged in spiral manner.
\ low railing is also concealed by
small punches of wheat. Suspended
from the center of the ceiling is a
large bell made of wheat straw, to-
gether with other emblems equally
beautiful. \ hundred or more foliage
plants of all shapes, sizes and colors
in pots occupy the floor. The chief
attraction, however, is a large canoe
made or straw, beautifully ribbed
with heads of wheat and oats. 1t IS
about eight feet long, suspended by
wires neatly concealed by eyergreens.
1t is completely filled with vegeta-
bles. 1t bears the following inscrip-
ton from Whittier:
"Behind the squaw's Nrch bark canoe
The steamer smokes and raves;
And city lots are staked Tor sale
! Above old Indian graves.
Adjoining IS the vegetable and
grain disply, which is the largest and
most attractive in the whole agricul-
tural department. Col. Wallace says
he is sorry that Minnesota isn't better
represented, as he wants chance to
beat her, as he has III years past.
