NO CITY ASYLUM.

The City Fathers have been obliged
to abandon their much cherished scheme
of city asylum; not because there were
no candidates, who could have passed
the strictest examination, and who could
have proven, beyond doubt, their fit
ness for the place. but for the reason
another. objected to accept the kind
offer of the generous city fathers. Some
thought that 1t cost too much, others
thought that it wasn't in the right place.
that it ought to be nearer the cemetery,
others thought that the city fathers
couldn't get along without their advice
and assistance, that they needed a little
criticism and abuse occasionally. These
are some of the reasons for so siren
uously Directing to enter the palatial
quarters provided for them. Conse-

THE NEW ERA.


AS Austin is about to enter into a new
era Of growth and, We hope, great pros
perity, it is we'll to consider some facts
which will be of vital Importance.
Above all things there must be
harmony. Austin has already suffered
too much from dissensien and local dis
putes. It is time all this should be for
gotten; it is time to bury these old is
sues, and to take up new ones; it is
time for men to unite in perfect harmony
having for their object the welfare OF
the town; it is time to lay aside old per
sonal animosities, and to unite in one
common effort for Austin.
Next there should be a thorough organ
ization,. The stronger the organization
the better will be the results. Tht
present Board of Trade could be de
veloped into powerful element TO-
good. 1t is only through organization
that the best results can be accomplished
These facts ane worthy of the con
sideration of the citizens of Austin
Let them remember that in harmony
there is strength, and in organization
exec ution aud dispatch.

The First Keen TWInXo.

AS the season advances, the pains and
aches BY which rheumatism makes itself
known, are experienced after every
exposure. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
Sarsapar;lla is specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is or can be, such q
remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, warrant US in urging
others who suffer from rheumatism to
take it before the first keen twinge.
