Editor FREE PnHss;
/ had few minutes talk tlhs morning
with ono Of tho most prominent business
mon of Banco City. He told mo land
think he meant what he said) TINT II San
Marcos, or rather Hays Co., would mako a
good, passablo road through our county TO
this place, that Blanco City would, this fall,
ship at least 1000 bales of cotton from our
depot. Now think that San Marcos ought
to remember this. We may have lively
timo yet II we will only allow II TO be so.
good road in hauling cotton Is no small
item, and Hays Is as able to have good roads
as any other county. OBSERVER
San Marcos, Feb. 81, 1883.
The above Is timely, for although the
Blanco News and Judge Kone have become
entirely amicable. tho fact. as we are as
sured, remains. that the road to Banco is
in very bad condition and needs persistent
tcork at both ends to mako 1t what II ought
to be.
