Excursion Personals.

At Huntsville we made pleasant call Oh
Rev. w. L. Kennedy and family. They did
not like Mississippi and were glad to return
| to Texas. He is pastor of the Presbyte riar
church and also Chaplain to the Penitentla-
ry, and is especially interested in his work
| in the latter capacity. We trust he may
be the means of doing much good, and thai
he may prosper therein.
We called to see DR.. Baldwin, but he had
| Just left for the North. We however had
a pleasant chat with Mrs. B. Miss Cora is
at Chicago. The family have q very nice
home in the suburbs of Huntsville.
Prof. H. Carr Pritchett also had left
town. Rev. DIR. John. formerly editor of
the Galveston Christian Advocate, is pastor
of the Methodist church at Huntsville. We
meant to call on him, but time failed US.
We met at the penitentiary, Ben McCul-
we believe, of Gen. Fl. e. McCulloch, of
Seguin.
At Houston we met Navasota man who
informed us that r. 1. Love is railroad
agent there, and that j. r. Kennard, jr.,
is working in printing Office somewhere
out in the Panhandle.
At Giddings we met Jno. F. Grove, Esq,
who resided at San Marcos during part of
1874 and rs. He is County Judge, has
served several terms as such, and we were
told is much respected and prospecting f.
nancially.
It will be recollected that Col. Jno. A.
Polk, the veteran hotel-keeper, went from
San Marcos to Giddings. He died there a.
couple of years since. His son is now at
La Grange. Otto Gramm and family have
gone to Brennan. Mrs Schriver and
her two younger children. Luther ana
''Daisy', we found living comfortably
at Giddings Her two other boys are dead.
Apropos we will state that we were assured
that the newspaper account of the killing OF
one of these boys, (John Owens) year or
so since by sheriff Brown Of Lee county
was grossly false, that John was not, as in
timated, seeking to waylay the sheriff or
steal his horse, but was himself unsuspect-
inply inyeigled and assassinated. In proof,
Brown and family left Immediately after the
murder, and have absented themselves from
time tn time so that the case has not yet
come to trial. He also lost his election and
is so under the ban of public sentiment that
he does not consider it 'healthy" to re-
main long at time in the county. The
trial, IL IL should ever come OF. will be
apt TO show the matter mp in q new light,
and demonstrate that John Owens was more
sinned against than shining"
Mr.. Mckinney, a clever gentleman, keeps
the Southern Hotel at Giddings We CON-
mend his house.

Science Hall.

SCIENCE HALL, Texas, June "a, 1885.
ED. FREE PRESS On the 18th and 10Th
inst. Science Hall Institute held one of the
grandest concerts that has ever been held
here. 1t was a complete success. The
hall was filed to overlooking, and there wa
perfect order both nights. Would like to de.
scribe the exercises, but their extreme length
precludes the possibility. The concert was
success and highly creditable to all con-
cerned.
Prof. Kinney and family were here from
Austin visiting at Mr.. Jason Andrews. Mr.
Joe Davis, and a number from Manchac
took in the concert.
Crops are beginning to need rain in some
places, especially the late corn. Cotton
looks well, oats are good and wheat rather
poor.
Mr.. Trimble has sold his engine and will
not run his thresher this year. He expects
to purchase larger stationery engine for
his gin.
Mrs. Wolfe of Galveston is visiting at her
fathers Mr.. Atkins.
Prof. whipple has been reelected princi-

INDEPENDENCE BELL.
july 4, l776.

july 4, l776.
When il became certain that independ
ence would be declared by Congress, it wa
determined to announce it by ringing tn
old State House Bell, whose motto was
proclaim liberty throughout all the land
to all the inhabitants thereof" The old
bellmen accordingly posted his grandson a
the door Of the hall 70 await the announce
ment Of the doorkeeper. At the word, tn
little patriot scion rushed out aud throwing
up his hands shouted; Ring ! RING! RING
This, we need hardly say, was the Oh
Liberty Bell whose fame has been so re
newed and extended by its visit to the New
Orleans Exposition FREE PREss.
There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at the corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State House,
So they surged against the door;
And the minglinG of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of Chestnut
Was oil turbulent with sound.
"will they do it?" "Dare they do it2"
''Wbo is speaking?" whats the news?'
"What of Adams?" "What of Sherman
ooh, God grant they won't refused"
"Make some way there!" ..Let me nearerl'
II am stifingY' "Stife, them
When nations life's Mt hazard,
We've no time to think of men!"
So they surged against the State House,
While all solemnly inside
Sat the Continental Congress-"
Truth and reason for their guide,
Der simple scroll debating
Which, though simple it might be,
Yet should shake the cliffs of England
With the thunders of the free.
Far aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray;
He was weary of the tyrant,
And his iron-sceptred sway,
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When his eye should cat h the signal,
The long. expected news to tell.
See! see! The dense crowd quivers
Through oil its lengthy line,
As the boy beside the portal
Hastens forth to give the sign!
With his little hands uplfted,
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hank! with deep, clear information,
Breaks his young voice on the air.
flushed the peoples swelling murmur,
List the boys strong. joyous cry
"Ring!" he shouts, "ring, grandpapa,
Ring, oh, ring for Liberty!'
Quickly, at the given signal,
The old bellman lifts his hand,
Forth he sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of Freedom ruffled
The calm gliding Delaware!
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose,
And from the flames, like tabled Phoenix.
FAIR Liberty arose!
That old bell now is silent,
All hushed its iron tongue;
But the spirit 1t awakened
Still is living, young;
And when we greet the smiling sunlight
On the Fourth of each July,
We will meier forget the bellman
Who betwixt the earth and sky,
Rang out OUR INDEPENDENCE,
Which, please God, shall never die!
