The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-12-17

was long time crawling over the wires.
And now comes the San Antonio Light
with ''Webster's brother-in-law which the
Atlanta Constitution started three months
ago and which has been wandering ever
since. By the time it gets around another
quarter will have expired.
The attention of the inveterate cigar
cite smoker is called to the fact that just
before the Servian army took the field l.,
100000 cigarettes were distributed among
the men. Then they went out and got
licked all over the frOntier.-San Antonio
Light.
Who wouldn't have been, with such a
burthen to 'tote'?
The San Antonio & Arkansas Pass road
will move along more rapidly from this
time forward than heretofore. There is
not solitary obstacle to check its speedy
construction and by the 1st day of next
April it will be completed and in thorough
running order for distance of one hun
dred miles south of San Antonio. The
Times knows whereof it writes when it
says that all the money necessary to the
contamination of our grand project has
now been secured, and work will be push
road is entirely opened and an all-line av
enue from San Antonio to the gulf COM
pleted. The capital, we are proud to say,
that has been put into the great under
taking is nearly all local,-one citizen
alone, within the past few days, having
come to the front with all the funds need
ed to carry on the work. Col. Lott and
the fathers of the road, as we'll as the pub
lie generally, are to be congratulated on
the present condition of the line and its
more than bright prospects.-San Anto-
MO Light.
Strike out, gentlemen, and remember
'Lotts" wife.
The Times appeals to Mr.. Dixon Will
liams himself to say how unreliable re-
porters are. Mr.. Williams is newspa
per mans. A. Times.
Yes,it would seem as if great many
editors were getting too good for their
business and were going into the revival
list business. There is "Old ST." he too
has turned evangelist.
Great men are dying suddenly nova
days. A lumber of Texas bohemians are
trembling in their boots.-S. A. Times.
A few such efforts as that, without rest,
and your time will soon come.
According to the San Antonio Times,
the new and costly courthouse in that city
is rapidly crumbling and falling, and ere
long it is expected the entire front will
fall. It is somewhat strange a city or
county cannot build as substantial build
ings as private individuals can.
The calaboose is to be built across the
railroad, and lumber for that purpose has
been placed on the ground, and men are
now at work erecting it.-Hays County
News.
If the Kyle people carry out their
threat and 'build a calaboose across the
railroad" all communication from this di
rection with San Antonio by rail will be
cut off! Such an outrage should not be
be appointed to wait on the governor and
make him get out an injunction. There
must be a line drawn somewhere to pre-
vent Kyle from spreading all over the
country and blocking thoroughfares with
calabooses, and it might as well be drawn
right here. Let public meeting be call
ed at once.
The Austin STATESMAN can now claim
the honor of being the prettiest daily pa
per in the state. It's weekly edition is
also handsome piece of typographical
work, and fairly runs over with state and
general news.-Hays County News.
You make us blush. Maud, reach the
looking glass.
WHAT THEY STILL SAY OF US:
The AUSTIN STATESMAN has appeared in
its new form and complete new dress.
The STATESMAN is now a handsome eight
page paper, and we wish it every success.
The STATESMAN is one of the landmarks
of the Capital City, and as such the peo-
pie should lend it helping hand, so that
it will rank among the leading dailies of
the great state of Texas.-The Star-Vin
dicator.
The AUSTIN DAILY STATESMAN has made
it's appearance at the Chronicle Office as
an eight.page paper and rugged out in a
handsome new dress. 1t is one of the
very handsomest papers in Texas, and
takes its place in the front rank with the
best papers in the state,-Cleburne ChrOn
icle.
The old STATESMAN hardly looks like its
former self since it changed its form and
donned its new dress. The STATESMAN is
now fully up with the leading dailies of
the state, and the indicator truly
hopes it will remain so, as the capital city
of the great state of Texas ought certain
ly to be able to boast of as good paper
as is published anywhere in the United
States, and its contemporaries, instead of
being envious, should be pleased to see it
leap to the front and take the stand in
the journalistic arena that the Lone Star
state occupies in the union.
The AUSTIN STATESMAN has come out in
new dress and new form, and is now just
a perfect beauty. Its editorials are sound,
pungent, classic and logical, and we are al
ways eager to get hold of it. May it re-
ceive its merited success.-Cameron Her
add
And shall always get hold of it, Mr..
Moore, if the postmasters do their duty
all along the line.
