an original wood-engraving, by Elbridge
Kingsley lis called "a Midwinter Night, u
Accompanying the frontispiece is paper,
entitled Gan Engraver on Wheels" which
gives pleasant and instructive account OF
wood engraving in general. and, In particu-
lar, of Mr.. Kingsley's peculiar methods OF
work, and of his peripatetic studio, VERT
able house on wheels, In which he lives,
eats, sleeps, and drives about from place to
place, for months together, transferring TO
the block and engraving whatever strikes
his fancy.
Another wintry feature which will find q
merry welcome is 1.-THE Brownies on
Skates" one of Palmer Cox's funnily illus

The East Side.

Naturally the East side of our public
square is decidedly the handsomest Of the
four. 1t is almost perfectly level, and some
day-after 1t is built up with handsome and
stately buildings and has good broad side
walk -laid-it is destined to be thing of
beauty. That it has not yet approximated
this destiny ia the fault of well-to-do prop
erty holders over there. If the Cocreham
and Masonic Hall building had been built of
stone instead of wood, other stone buildings
would no doubt have followed, and the CON-
dition of the East side would have been
quite different from what 1t is to-day, al
though as favorite business location it is
still likely to "hold its own"
For the first time in good many years,
there are now some vacant business houses
on the East side; but this state of things we
feel sure will be very temporary. Not
eighteen months since the North side, now
in the ascendant, was mostly unoccupied.
From the old Briggs corner to Glover's
bank, with the exception of DR.. Combs old
stand, all the buildings were vacant, and
there were others vacant on all sides of the
square ercept the East. The North side has
recovered itself, and SO we Judge will the East
also, and that very soon. for except in the
way of substantial buildings. it is still sec
'nd to no other in town, being on the most
irect line to the railroad and post Office, and
closely connected with all the main thor
ugbfsres of business.

A Strange Case.

We copy the following from San Marcos
letter in the Austin statesmanof Sunday:
We have strange story told as and it
comes from good authority. Al the same
time there is some mystery connected with
it. Some two years ago an old gentleman.
Mr.. Gage, came to this neighborhood look
ing for gold (who is one of the first settlers
of this county, however, he left here many
years ago., also an old Spanish or Mexican
deposit of money. Some time last fall he
left, gave It up for the present and went to
his home In Corsicana. Before leaving he
took Mr.. Jim Watson into his confidence.
After Mr.. Gage left, Mr.. Jim Watson finds
three ive-oak trees marked, also q stump
with pin Of brass stuck in It. This was
pointer for him. He also found q rock
which was more conspicuous than Others
this he turned over and dug down little
ways but soon abandoned 1t. Last Satur-
day week ago, a stranger passing through
the country, stopped and stayed all night
his discovery The stranger concluded to
take up the search and hired Mr.. Watson to
help him. They worked Sunday and part
work no longer, as his services were needed
VI las Aohhn. 4ho ooeAkok bucu Wout W q
cousin of Watson's, boy about IA years
old, and hired him to help look for cattle.
Tuesday night the stranger called on Wat
son to take supper with him. BE gave Wat
Son a round rock ball, three inches In d.
ameter, and told him it came out of the
place they we're worsing ct, but said moth
Ing about the boy he had hired After sup
per the stranger left, and since then neither
he or the boy has been seen or heard Of.
The parents of the boy became uneasy about
his absence and went In search Of him.
Jim Watson and several others went to the
place where he and the stranger had been
digging. There they found that the hole |
had been dug deeper, and along side of it
an iron vessel, which had evidently been
taken out of the hole. Now, whether any
money was found or not, is not known.
This happened nearly two weeks ago and
the boy has not been found or heard from.
The place is ten miles west of San Marcos.
P. s. At this writing there is atill no
news of the missing boy. Fears are enter
aimed that he may have met with foul play. |
