ty. L viii see ~ I can do for
you in that line.
In the first place L wish to say
that 1 think there has been a de-
cided improvement in our county
paper.
We have plenty of grass and
water at Rock Shoals, and stock
are looking first rate. A good
shower for corn and cotton would
be acceptable, though neither are
seriously in need of it yet,
1 believe that our people are
pretty well up with their crops.
The prospective yield is truly flat
tering. Old men at the business
declare that cotton is from two
weeks to one month earlier this
year than last. Every farmers
face that one meets now Is entire
ly overspread with grin. Even
the chronic grumbler has ceased
his mutterings. I think it would
be very hard matter, indeed, TO
find a happier looking set of farm
ers than ours,

SAN SABA COUNTY.

EDITOR NEws:-As we do not
wish to see our community left out
in the cold without representation
in the columns of the News. We
will try to offer few dots fin-
terest.
While our people have been 81
lent, we are not behind other COM
munities in fine crop PROJECTS,
generous hearted and enterprising
class of citizens. We have fertile
soil and plenty of room for intel
ligent farmers to make their home
among us, and we assure all who
come among us a hearty welcome.
1 am glad to see our people awak-
ming to an interest in trying to
show the advantages of our county
to the outside world. We have
been silent too long in advertising
the advantages of our section while
our neighbor counties have real
lied the Importance Of securing
immigration, and have made strong
efforts to accomplish the desired
object. They are now reaping
the benefits of such a course. Can
not San Saba county, which is
blessed with superior natural adj
yantages, make some effort to have
have a display of her products
that will be creditable to her citi-
zens. Not long since this scribe
had occasion to visit Fort Worth
and other portions of our state;
rich soil and fine crops were seen
on every hand, but San Saba coun-
ty ranked among the foremost in
fattering prospects for a bounti-
full yield, and for diversity of soil
and products was superior to any
portion which came under our OBJ |
servation. We were shown through |
the exhibition, near the Union
depot in Fort Worth and was
pleased with the fine display of
the fruits and cereals and other
products of the west, notably that
Of Coleman county. We looked
for the display of San Saba coun-
ty, but only found jar of peaches
and sample of plums and grapes,
by R. G. Murray, of
San Saba. They certainly looked
small for such a county. We COM
mend the effort of Mr.. hurry and
lope others will become interested
n the matter.
Mrs. Sewell is teaching a pri- ]
ate school in our settlement; all
'ther schools have closed for vaca-
ion.
We have special school tax in
ur district, and have six months -,
rec school during the year. =
Several new farms have been :
pened in our community, and old !,

lanted in cotton this season, but

Our citizens are beginning t.
take some interest in the agricult.
ural and stock associations, and
also in the city park movements
We don't propose to be judges or
managers of the internal affairs of
San Saba county, nor do we mag
Inc that we can see as far in the
future Of our county as others.
We merely give our opinions in
this paper, and if we go astray we
will furnish space for correction.
In our opinion, a county fair and
a city park would be the very best
means of advertising our county,
and would furnish US better enter
prise, serve to stimulate and would
cost less than any other progress
slve move we could make. Let us
hear more about this move.
The progressive age in which we
live and the prosperity of our
county is such that require change
and improvement. We have there
fore made a change in the San Saba
News which we think is in accord
ance with the time in which we
live. We have changed the other
side of this paper to matter and
news such as is generally contain
ed in State weekly, making our
paper answer the double purpose
of a weekly and a county paper,
and without increasing the cost of
Subscription. 1t is our purpose to
make the paper second to none. |
We therefore request correspond
ents to be prompt aad regular in /
writing. There are several places
in the county not yet represented.
We want the news, will some one
be kind enough to write us the
affairs of each community.

Several of our town friends
spent portions of last week on a
piscatorial expedition. We are
not thoroughly conversant with
the latest archaeological methods
and inventions, but supposed that
they hoped by attaching barbed
instrument, concealed by a SPUR
migerous inhabitant to a pole by
means of an elongated piece of
cotton, to entice few of the pis-
catorial species. We do not know
what luck they had, but suppose
it was as usual on such occasion
There is call at this office re-
questing US to invite the people of
San Saba and San Saba county to
prepare county exhibit for the
Dallas Fair to be held at Dallas

expense and much profit to this
county. We can prepare an excel
lent exhibit in this county and use
it at Brownwood then at Dallas
then send it on to the Worlds fair
at Chicago. San Saba county is
in prosperous condition and now
is the time to make an effort. We
have the resources and means to win
All that is needed is the effort.

EDITOR NEws.-As L have been
requested to write up the news
of this thriving little village, [
will proceed to do so to the best of
my ability, and the first thing that
deserves special mention is the
closing exercises of Miss May
Metcalf's school, which took place
last Friday night. Early in the
evening everybody in the country
seemed to meet at the Bowser
Bend school house. The exercises
of the evening consisted of speach-
es, dialogues, music, etc, some
of which was excellent, and show
ed that the teacher had worked
hard to make the entertainment a
success, and it was a success, as
some of the pieces rendered would
have done credit to your city
schools.
L hear nothing but praise from
al the people in this community of
Miss Metcalfs school and she well
deserves the thanks of this COM
munity as it can truthfully be said
that she has taught one of the
most harmonious schools that has
ever been taught here and and it
is thy unanimous wish of this
community that she be employed
to teach our next school, if possible
to get her.
Among the visitors present was
Messrs. W. W. Wallace, John Al
ford, John jackson, and Mr.. Met
calf, brother of our teacher, and
among the young ladies present
we notice Misses. Lou and Annie
Davenport, Ellen and Samantha
Hamrick, Jessie Jackson, Annie
Ballard, Sallie Richards, iona
Carter and Mrs. Sallie Hodges, all
of Richland Springs. Come again
