near this place Sept. 2sth, aged about 20
years. His death was rather sudden but
not unanticipated. In fact, though in ap'

his accustomed place at church and Sabbath
school the Sunday previous, and we saw

In the death of DR.. Davis this oommun-
,ty has lost one of its foremost and best
citizens. But rs respects the end OF 80
good and so aged man there can be no
lust ground for inconsolable sorrow.

The chronic hostility Of the editor OF
the Blanoo Star towards San Marcos is we'll
known, is of years standing. But we can't
see what possible difference it can make.
A man who, as he did during the late Sena-
toral convention, got SO drunk that he had
to be carried up stairs, and did not know
'swhat he was here for" is surely entitled
to no respect or influence San Marcos has
good reason to congratulate herself on oppo-
sition from such quarters.
