The Turn Of the Year.

The days are brief aud dark aud cold;
The barren fields are brown and sere;
The world is chill, the world is old,
And speeds the flying year.
The birds and flowers are gone away,
Or sleep in mother Earth's warm breast
But amid the storms must stay,
Aud toll and never rest
Hush, heart uDquiet and dismayed!
Soon shall the sun in strength return
Why dost thou mourn, Of life Afraidg
Soon the bleak year viii turn
The darkest day prcludes the light
However nan its depths bewail;
After the longest, loneliest night
Tho morning never fails.
What IL thy year be near It's end;
Il failing heart and feb be faint;
What IL ihy lovers. hin and friends,
BE deaf 20 Thy oornplaiutg
Even e. turn tn faithful year
In the SOW days q storm and gloon,
AID s1lring begins her journey here
To tempt The earth 10 bloom
So shall thy sun uuvs1 his fsce.
And al tl1ss rlists b raiisnc1 burn,
Wat but Ii LJ1r. take heart o. grace

upon us with its now duties and its tradi'
tional good resolutions bringing, We hope
sufficient courage TO meet the ono and keep
the other.
Miss Julia, our art teacher, reports a
most pleasant visit among friends and rela'
tives in Huntsville.
Miss Rosa, primary teacher, spent the
holidays in Georgetown. Her brother, Mr.
Hendricks, has been guest of Coronal for
the past few days.
The return of Mr.. Votaw and family to
San Antonio will cause much regret, as 1t
will deprive us of several friends and the
Institute of several pupils
Miss Lula Thompson of the same city, is
attending school here. Tho names of other
new scholars have been enrolled for the
coming session, but not so many as we could
wish being very ambitious for Coronal.
Our old schoolmate. Hal Haynie, is back
again, hope his return may be both pleas
ant and profitable.
The senior class is now studying Geology
tho state of the weather permits them to
bring in specimens on their feet
Messrs. Otis Kittinger and Charlie Har-
per, of Sabinal Canon, spent the holidays
with old friends and schoolmates in San
Marcos. The sleepy, exhausted expression
of their countenanoes as they turned home
ward was convincing proof of their good
time while here.
We have been out to shake hands with,
and congratulate the woodpile, since our
return. 1t has stood the severe cold of the
past few weeks with great fortitude, for one
of its delicate proportions, and we are en-
couraged to hope that it will survive to
participate in the general wall that will be
sent up when wo bid 1t and old Coronal

The County Alliance Is In session at
present but We believe they have decided to
close on Wednesday and have chosen San
Marcos as the place of meeting for the
next quarter. There has been quite large
attendance 80 far, almost every community
being represented by its delegates. We
learn that tho State lecturer, Mr.. Tracy has
been expected here to give public lecture,
but he has not yet made his appearance.
The county assessor, Mr.. Fortson and other
San Marcos citizens were here in attend
ance on the Alliance. We learn that per-
son representing himself to be member of
a Georgia Alliance and at the same time to
be nm agent of monopoly offers to under
sell the county alliance agent. He is con-
sidered a fraud. The now year weather
has been fair till to-day, there ia now
misting rain. No local news of special in

Bills! Bills =!

We send out our annual statements OF
accounts this week inclosed in the papers
of all subscribers who owe, The beginning
Of the year being the natural and most de-
sirablo time to have newspaper subscriptions
begin, we bring up in our bills the indebt-
edness of all who owe
/. To the beginning of tho year, and
9. In advance for the year 1888.
This makes the matter entirely clear, and
we trust will DO most satisfactory to oil con-
cerned.
For years after We started a paper here
payments were generally made in advance,
custom which we regret to say is now
'more honored in the breach than In the
observance. OF course at time like the
present We cannot insist on general advance
payments, though We trust oil who can
conveniently pay in that way, (as there are
no doubt many who CAM, will adhere to
the old rule as unquestionably the best for
all concerned.
But we do, because we must, insist on
payment ut least to tho beginning of 1888,
We cannot get along without it, and con-
tinue to publish such paper as the FREE
PRESS We trust, therefore, all who posi-
bly, can will pay up to date, or, if that is
impossible, report to us the best they can
do. And if any who are now receiving the
paper feel that they cannot pay for it, or
give any definite promise Ut to the future,
we ask them TO frankly and squarely say
so. We have carried some of them over
two years, and cannot in justice to oursef
and family continue to do 80 any longer.
With the exception OF few near relatives
and special friends, we have no "free list"
We are quite aware that nothing Is easier
than to get up large list subscribers with
out the pay. and we shrewdly surmise that it
is thus that the large lists boosted of bya GER
tain class of our contemporaries have been
secured. We beg to say distinctly that we
have not knowingly any of that class, and
don't want any recruits from their ranks
Our list may not be as large as some,
but so far us we know, or intend, or desire,
it represents only square, prompt-paying
subscribers.
We feel, therefore, that we shall not ap-
peal to them in vain to come to our rescue
at this trying and critical hour in the busi-
ness interests of the country.

An Old Lady Remembered.
Knightstown Cnd. } Banner.

Sarah Commons, widow of Ezekiel Com
mons, on old and highly respected citizen
of Wayne county, Ind, now in her 9ttl
wear, living with her -in-law, Allen L.
Hatfield and his wife, near Cleveland, Han,
cock county, met with most agreeable
surprise on Thanksgiving day. Mrs. Com
mons Is blind, partially paralyzed and en-
tirely helpless, but with her mental facul-
ties unimpaired. She has lately, under
these circumstances, exhibited indications
of unhappiness, feeling of suspicion that
she has lived too long, that she is not up
preciated, etc. Her descendants, including
other relatives, concluded they would cheer
her up, and accordingly arranged to write
her, in concert with each other, Affection
ate letters, accompanied with little presents,
where it was thought proper to do so. These
letters were to be sent on so as to reach and
be read to her at the same time on Thanks-
giving day. For days in advance they
were, without her knowledge, arriving.

Mexico and Iowa, as well as elsewhere mis-
cellaneously, Couched in atfectionate Ian
guage, breathing only love and devotion to
her. she listened to their reading with feel
inps hard to describe. She is the last of q
family of IL brothers and sisters, the allu-
sion to which fact on the part of writers,
added to the solemnity of the occasion, and
brought tears to other eyes than hers, 1t
WAS a demonstration worthy of those en-
gagged in it, in honor of one OF the WORTH
est and best of women. 1t has convinced
her that she is not forgotten. Mrs. Com
mons is greatly beloved wherever she Is
known and if the public generally had
known of the surprise intended. the written
compliments to her would have beenextend-
ed to many hundreds.
Mrs. Commons Is daughter OF Isaac
Julian, O prominent member OF the society
of Friends, and one of Wayne county's pio-
neers OF the brothers several were prom
inent in the early history of Wayne county.
Especially is this the fact as to Isaac Julian,
1.-THE father of Jacob B., George W., and
Isaac H. Julian, and Rene Julian, who left
Wayne and settled in Henry county, where
he became one of the leading men and con-
tinued so during life. Shubal Julian, one
of the brothers of Mrs. Commons, died at
near 81 years of age; her sister, Elizabeth
Cox, died at 93 years; Eleanor Harvey, an
other sister, died at 81. The average ages
of the four is over % years. The four
brothers and sisters next younger averaged
between SO and 80 years, making the aver
age age Of the eight about 81 years. Where
will a parallel TO this longevity be found:
No where. it is believed The other four.

New Draunfels.

The citizens of New Braunfels have just
celebrated tho contamination Of IN enter
prise which will result in great benefit to
the business interests of that beautiful little
city. II was the completion and acceptance
of magnificent bridge ovor the Guadalupe,
connecting the town by wagon with Quad
alupe, Hays, aud all that rich farming 500
ton beyond or east of New Braunfels. The
bridge was designed by W. II. Freeman, Of
San Antonio. 1t is above any high water
mark, founded upon the stoutest piers and
abutments, and is real beauty in appear
snce. The structure was accepted by the
county commissioners last Tuesday, and its
completion nnquostionably marks new
err in the business prosperity of tho town.
II has been wanted and talked about for
years, and one can easily imagine the re-
joicing incident to its completion.
Conlal county is in fino fix for early
spring planting. The industrious Germans
have prepared their fields and are receiving
the full benefits of the glorious rains.
Wheat, oats, and rye were never more
promising. Farmers say there is no ques'
ton but that the coming year will be
fraught with success and general prosperity,
and that the cry of 'hard times" will now
be consigned to forgotten past, San An
