Hays County at The Exposition.

Our county having failed in all else to be
properly represented at the New Orleans
Exposition, there ID one remaining duty 80
simple and obvious, and yet so important,
that Il viii be astonishing indeed II II shall
not DO attended to. We mean the having q
good description Of the County, showing
up its advantages and attractions to immi-
grants prepared and circulated at the Expo
sition. II We fail in this we shall probably
be tho only county in the state that will
do 30. Commissioner Elliott promises to
give the best facilities TO his people
for the circulation Of such matters,
and their Importance Is too obvious for argu-
ment. We wish therefore, simply TO say
that IL the County Commissioners or our
people will pay for the same, We will
will print as many copies as may be
desired in the shape of an extra Christmas
edition of the FREE Pass, giving full
showing up Of the business Of our town and
county, republishing the late articles from
the st. Louis Republican, and by Mr.. Young
with other similar matter. But IL anything
is to be done in this direction, II must be
doue quickly, and we must know it at once,
The Board Of Commissioners meets on
Monday next, and we would respectfully
commend the matter to their attention.
P. s. In case no steps are taken for the
getting up of new publication of this kind
we will state that we have on hand some
$50 copies of the extra edition we issued
about year ago, which could be distribut-
ed to good purpose so faras they go at New
Orleans, and which we will close out at
three cents copy. But there ought to be
a new one of not less than 1000 copies got
up and circulated there.
There will be general inspection of the
Fire Department to-day by the Chief, e. p,
Raynolds. See his announcement elsewhere
To-day is thanksgiving, and no doubt
it will be more generally and cordially cele-
brated throughout the South than ever be-
fore.

to the Speakers room with the McGarra-

tacit refusal of kelier the day before to and

continuing, declared that he dismissed
Boynton summarily bu, did no, have hun
