The Journal has been awarded the
contract and has given bond, which
has been approved bv the commits
sioners court, to do all the county
printing for one year. This con-
tract covers blanks OF all kinds, let
ter heads, note heads, envelopes, &c.
Any officer procuring blanks from
any other source will do so at his
own expense.-LaGrange Journal.
This is as it should be. The coun-
ty printing should be given to the
county paper. It is home institu-
tion, helps,,build the.city and county,
furnishes employment to wage-earn-
ers, pays taxes in the county, and
labcrs assiduously for the Democratic
party, and when its officers send to
Chicago or to any place outside of
the county for the work, it is an in
justice to the home paper. How
ever, this is the state of affairs in
this county, and the authorities would
do an act Of justice to emulate thee
example of the officers in Lagrange.
The Banner has just received a large
lot of new type and is prepared to
do any kind of job work that the
county needs in the way of letter
heads, aote heads, envelopes and
blanks of all kinds, and would APP
preciate the patronage that now
goes out of the county.

Estate Press" of the Galveston
News commenting on the item
about the letter Of Mr.. Snyder, of
Melville, Ill, writing here to ascer-
tain if his cousin, julius Snyder,
formerly of this county had ever ia
ken out naturalization papers, with
a view of preventing the son of his
cousin, who was sent to Germany to
be educated, from being pressed
into the German army, where he
viii have to serve five years, unless
his father took out naturalization
papers, says that children of per-
sons duly naturalized, being under
the age of q years at the time of
the naturalization of their parents,
shall, If dwelling in the United
States, be considered citizens there
Of" and adds that a large class of
foreigners were made citizens of the
United States by the Law annexing
Texas, and that they were not re-
quired to go through the usual for
malities. An examination of the
records here showed that Mr.. Sny-
der had not taken out any naturali
cation papers during his residence
here, and if he did not elsewhere,
the prospect for his son to escape
the five years service in the Euro
pean army are quite gloomy. He
only has one year in which to make
the investigation before having to
commence his FIVE year term. For
all those whose parents have not be-
come naturaiized citizens, that re-
turn to that country, can be pressed
into service. This is hard on the
young man in question and the ac-
QUESTION of an education at such a
cost can not be much appreciated.
Foreign citizens coming here should
not neglect to take out naturaliza-
ton papers.

takes front rank with cities of its
size, leading many In location it is
in the center of a large and pros
porous territory of the best farming
section of the State, and besides its
immense country retail trade, its
wholesale houses do a good iohbing

good place, except its deficiency in
the matter of lights, and in this
there is not town of its size in the

BRENNAN is abundantly able to sup
port an electric light plant. The
primal edict of omnipotence was, let
there be light, and there was light,
day light, but most places have made
artificial arrangements to protect
their property and extend their bust
ness by having the streets lit up at
night, but here we are cropping in
darkness still. Cannot some monied
power say let there be light here?
