The Past PeregrinatiOns Of the Free
Press.

Apropos of our latest removal, it may be
of some interest to recall our previous ex-
periences in that line
We bought the little Office then here and
consolidated it with the much larger one we
had brought with us, in September. 1873,
in the building now occupied by Finney d
Edwards, then belonging to Leatherwood u
Hopkins. 1t was built for store-room,
warmed by fireplace at one end and with
ont adequate light.
Early in the winter of 1915, we rented
the old San Marcos Hotel building, which
| stood where the First National Bank now
stands 1t, too, was quite unsuited to our
purpose. The room used for press room
had only fire place and was open under
meath, and otherwise, to the northers.
Here, however, we lived and labored down
to the fall Of 1878, when, having purchased
the Raven place, on the east side of the
square, now occupied by Chastain d
Knight. we removed to 1t. This was for
some time q great improvement on its pre-
decessors, there being spacious yard to
the Mrs. Sarah Nance property adjoining
Oh the south, freely admitting light and air.
But this was built up after while so the
place lacked those essentials and we felt con-
strained TO remove to our late quarters. the
Wood building, Januaty /, 1884. II we
could have remained in our own property
IL would have been much better for our
business, for aside from the printing de-
partment being much too contracted, peo-
nile have not been "broken in" here to
climb a stairway to find q printing office.
IL will thus be seen that We have suffered
no little from having TO occupy unsuitable
locations. Our present quarters are the
first which San Marcos, in all her life OF
over 40 years, has ever had to offer, at
reasonable rent, that was suitable for a
printing Office. This corresponds well with
her course in failing to provide toleraole
public school house.
