poets are better than ever before.
The increase of business OF til,
San Marcos postoffice is another indi
cation OF progress. Since the rail
road was built it has advanced from {
4th to 3rd class Office, giving thu
postmaster salary Of 81, 300.
The diversity of scenery in anG
around San Marcos gives it its prin
cipal claim as compared with Other
towns. The water, the hills, and
beautiful groves, with vistas between
out over the undulating prairies and
cultivated farms, must be seen to be
properly appreciated. Besides the
live oak and cedar groves there are
laurel and various other species OF
evergreen shrubbery in profusion, SO
that here and in all this region we
have no winter landscapes.
We close with an enumeration of
the present business houses of San
Marcos:
