1T WILL BE A FULL HAND.
A leading journal pokes run AZ US anu
criticises one of our locals in last week $

to plead in extenuation for the mistake, tne
fact that we have to nurse pair OF tWii,
babies, write the locals for our paper and
mind the flies off the bald place on the
back part of our Uranium at the same time

TOO MUCH CANNOT BE SAID"
The editors of the i. O. attended the

very harmonious one, and the members

business meetings. Too much CANNOT De

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD.
There is a bare possibility that the new
state capitol will be constructed OF granite
instead of limestone. A proposition, IL is
said, will be made by certain owners OF
granite quaries to furnish granite as cheapiy
as the limestone can be procured. Inc
contractors are willing to make the change
in this contract if they hnd tney
capitol erected of granite would be
infinitely more endurir than if constructed
of limestone. and it would, perhaps. be the
most beautiful building in the world

THE HOPE OF THE LAND.

trained workers, they must be thoroughly

this. The logic of events points with pro-

AUsTIN's GROWTH.
Buildings are springing up at every turn,
and now, while we write, there are actually
five churches in course OF construction in
different parts of the city. We all know
what demand there has been for houses,
and OF the accelerated rate of erection OF
dwellings, stores, etc., that the last few
months have witnessed. But even with
this building impulse, and the excess OF
houses going up as compared with past
years, the demand seems as unsatished as
ever. The more we build the more we need
buildings, seems to be the fact. As
place of residence, IT will not be
denied by the most prejudiced dweller in
other cities that Austin ranks very high.
even if it does not take the banner every
time as home town. 1t is beautiful, pic
turesque, aud splendidly located and very
healthlul. Its railroad facilities are ample,
and the Colorado waters at its feet. 1t is
surrounded by good country, and its
drainage advantages are excellent. IL ID
the capital of the state, and ere many years
are past will become the home of the best
people of the state. Austin must, sooner
or later, become the hub of Texas--the cen.
trail star around which all lesser lights will
revolve. The home OF the just, the chival..
rous and the good, Austin is the garden OF
the Eden of the Lone Star State, and the
central diadem in her coronet OF Cities

PRESS ASSOCIATIONS.
Georgia editors have held their conven-

every state in the union has its press con-

his guests by his glistening rhetorical

that it has never before been his pleasure to
