The San Saba news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1873-1966, 1883-01-27

"Our old-timo friend Tom Biggs,
of TnE SAN SABA News, devoted con-
siderable space in his issue Of Dee. I'D
to the advantages offered in that see
ton to settlers. A writer In THE
NEWS states that San Saba wns set
tod without military mid, and that 1t
was n rendezvous of stockmen. The
range is stated to be the paradise of
cattle raisers, and from the display of
stock cuts in TnE News, we are in
clined to believe tho statement is
truo."-Troy (Ala.) Messenger.

We took this week look at the
San Saba water mills and gin, owned
by Mr. j. II. Brown, and ran by Mr..
John II. Beveridge. We found the
machinery hnmming away, and Mr,
Bevcridge tells us that he ia crowded
NIL the time. He has ginned to date,
Thursday, $40 bales of cotton, and
there is now over 100000 pounds Of
cotton on hand, aud still it is coming
in Ms fnst ns the gin can gin IL. lie
thinks that he will turn out this sea-
son over 200 bales. This property is
the most valuable of any in our atty.
Flour made Mt these mills will COM
pare with flour made from any mills.
Mr.. Brown has spared neither money
nor pnins in building these mills, and
We nre glad that his efforts are being
crowned with snch grand success. We
wish that we had large number of
such men in our midst, who would do
velop our city and county. He has
also displayed considerable wisdom in
leasing this property to Mr. Beveridge,
as he has tho energy and experience to
run this class of businoss to success.
Remove Cotton.
Mr.. j. II. Beveridgs requests to sdy
to parties that all cotton must be
moved from yard rs soon as baled, M
it is impossible to keep cattle from de-
stroying it.
We honr of losses by sheep. own
ers during tho recent cold spell OF
weather. For want of food and shell
tor 'wero the main causes. 1t is said
that small shed is worse than none
at all, on account of the strong ones
tramping down the weak ones In seek
ing shelter. We think that it would
DO advisable for our sheep-men to
have smaller flocks, and make better
preparations to take care of them dur
ing severe cold weather. If the last
spell should have been preceded by
rain or sleet, there is no telling how
great the leases would havo been.
Heretofore our winters have been very
mild, and the range excellent, and we
suppose that this ia the reason why
better preparations were not made.
