THE Times Of this city pays the
following compliment to The state
senator from Seguin:
"There isn't a more efficient public
servant in Texas than Hon. VIM.
Burgess, of Seguin. He has done as
much as any other man to give Texas
good laws and keep the state in the
front rank among the common
wealths of this nation. Senator
Burgess is worthy of almost any
position within the gi2 of of the peo-
pie"
The LIGHT does npt question the
business of the Times tribute, but
considers it matter of sincere regret,
in view Of the large influence that
Senator Burgess yields, that he did
