u. 8. Exposition Commissioner Gammage
went west without calling at this place.
From the apathy prevailing here on the
subject of his mission, he probably did not
think il worth his while TO stop.
After couple of months very pleasantly
spent at this place, the Hockett family re-
tui ned on Monday to San Antonio. They
will be much missed in society here, Of
which they were favorites.

es great deal too much importance to per.
sonal illusions in the newspapers2

lie schools, has been visiting at this place

Mrs. Il. will remain at Wimberly for some
months, but Mr.. L. is compelled to return

with Mexico. The season there this year
has been about as dry as it is here.
We called last week on our old friends
Mrs. Duncan, Miss Gotten and their good
mother, and were glad to find them in hope
full and progressive state. Mrs. d. has ad-
ded new school room, which will enable
her to accommodate to greater extent her
large and increasing patronage. Mrs. Cot
ten treated US to some fine samples of seed
ling peaches grown on their place, which
we found to be really superior. Seedlings
we are told are more productive and often
not inferior to grated varieties in Texas.
Now that we have water in abundance our
town may be expected to turn out some fair
peaches, figs and other fruits large and
small.
