We acknowledge polite invitation from
lady students of Baylor College, Bolton,

Hays county has three newspapers and 1t
seems that the majority of them are on the
fence.-Kyle Star.
And ut seems" that the Star belongs to
said "majority."
: There should be no rivalry between Kyle
and San Marcos.
We clip the above from the Kyle Star. AS
we understand it, it very properly addresses
its own people, for there has never been
any feeling of rivalry on the part of San
Marcos toward Kyle. The Star very hand
somely adds sentiment we are glad to have
from Kyle:
Every citizen in Hays county should take
warm interest in everything that pertains
to the veal of our county seat.
The New Cemetery management is mani
Testing IN intelligent and energetic spirit.
The gentlemen of the board, not less than
the lady members, evince commendable
interest, which properly seconded by our
people, will soon bring order out of chaos
in tho grounds. This is matter in which
we should all feel an interest, for, sooner or
later, the most of us must find resting
place in the 'city on the hill" The new
management will be controlled by most eco
nomical ideas, and their assessments will al
ways be the very lowest admissible. We
should sustain them in every possible way.
The Free Press would like very much to
become the Alliance ''organ," however
awkward and inconvenient" it might be,

let It try to disguise the fact as it will.
A good humored par agrsph In our last
suggested the above from tho Kyle Star.
Notwithstanding the positiveness Of its as
sertion, we beg to assure it that 1t is mis-
taken. The Free Press has not the least de-
sire to become ''the organ" of our county
Alliance. 1t is true we have done quite as
much for it as any other paper, and never,
that we are aware of, either directly or
indirectly received dollar therefor. We
did it out of friendly interest, and not from
hope of pecunisry reward. We only hope
that the Star may continue to be as much
elated over its alleged organship as 1t ap-
pears to at be present.
We are glad to hear that So uire Cock Is
