Dripping Springs.

We failed to. get in our letter last week
owing to our making sudden and unantic-
ipated trip to Austin. We were out of the
country five days when We went to the
city, the tree buds were well swollen,
but the limbs stood out in bare lines against
the sky. When we got back the trees were
in full leaf and the landscape was as chang
cd as II it had boon transplanted to another
climate. How wonderful are the works of
Naturel
Austin is full of the coming drill, and
overho wed to the tune of $l2, 200 and over
in buying privileges to sell goods etc., on
the grounds. The above amount was real
lied on Monday and Tuesdays sales, at
which time not more than half of the privi-
leges were sold; 10 the association stands in
a fair way to come out OF par, to say the
least. Well, Texas is big state. the capt.

We have big time at the dedication.

By invitation of Mr.. Code, We were one
of party consisting of the mayor, members
of the council and other citizens to visit and
inspect the head of the river with reference
to the proposed work of cleaning out the
accumulation of decaying vegetation, etc.,
We went by bus to the Zoe factory, and the
rest of tho way by boat. We had not made
the trip for so long that we found it again
novel one. We found that Mr.. Code had
done no inconsiderable amount Of work in
the way of cleaning MP, greatly to the i'm
proved appearance Of the main channel or
lake. Yet but small fraction Of what is to be
and should be done, has been accomplished
We had DO previous idea of the amount OF
decaying vegetable matter in the nver,
which not only greatly mars its beauty
but must also tend to impair the healthful-
ness of the vicinity. Not only this but
sundry old logs, snAgs and limbs of over
banging trees along the shores, greatly
need removal
Mr.. Code expressed very clear and prae-
teal ideas on what should be done and
how. aud we trust the City Council may feel
warranted in entrusizng him with the work
We believe our people woGld pretty 1nAni-
rnously sustain them IN such action

and hold all they made, what howl
there would bel 1t wouldn't be so mean
either, for they make the cotton, and if it costs
eight cents pound to make 1t they ought to
have twelve and half cents for it, But
those spectators who get up corners and trusts
and monopolies don't make anything that they
deal in. They are like the vampires that
hover over the weary traveller as he sleeps by
the way, and fan him with their wings and
suck all his blood and leave him to die
A man who will plot and scheme a corner on
the necessaries of life is a thousand times more
guilty than one who steals to supply his own
wants. The changing is too good for him.
we had another reunion here yesterday-,a
gathering Of the survivors of the oldEighteenth,
General Wotford's regiment, the one he raised
when he was a colonel, and the one
that always claimed the right to
lead the brigade when attacking the enemy.
1t is wonderful how a brave commander can
infuse his fighting spirit into his men. went
to school with Tatum Wofford and my earliest
recollection Of him was when he had fight
with bigger boy because the boy imposed
upon little boy and kicked him for nothing,
and Tatum took it up and whipped him. When
he was sixteen he ran away from school and
went to Mexico to fight the Mexicans for i'm
posing on Uncle Sam, and later on he went to
lighting Uncle Sam for imposing upon US. He
never did like imposition. How we'll his sol
dlers loved him was proven by the way they
followed his lead in every battle, and now at
every reunion they call for his child, his only
child-the daughter of the regiment and she
comes. Ii there was another war 1 believe
they would give Miss Lena sword
and follow her like the French
followed Joan of Arc. AS Miss Winnie Davis
is the daughter of the confederacy, so is Lena
Wofford the daughter of the regiment, ana
she meets with them and presides at their
banquet, and the old soldiers reverently kiss
her hand and shed patriotic tear for aud
lang syne. All this may seem childish and
sentimental, but man who does not appreci-
ate it hasn't got enough patriotism in his
bosom to defend his own freside.
