There is a piece of sidewalk on Tays
street, that is a disgrace to any COM
munity, and on going to Stanton street
one has to wade shoe-mouth deep in
stove ashes, refuse to tomato cans.
etc.
Tays street itself, is ''beauty to be-
hold" and will be 'joy forever" as
it is being filed in with the cleanings
of all the horse stables and cow lots in
the neigh bOrhood. Besides, there has
been q few loads of the filth from other
streets in town, brought and dumped

gravel will be put on after q while,

The 21st of April is made menora BILE
il Texas by the battle of Ssn Jacinto,
which was the GROWING act which
made Texas free and an Independent
republic. In this battle GIN. Sam
Houston had less than 800 men to Op-
pose double that humble under COM
mand of Gen. Santa Anna. the ablest
general of the Mexican army. That
there might be no chance for e.cape,
Virce's bridge across SIMS Bayou,
over which the whole Mexican army
had creased, was burned by orcer OF
Houston, leaving no route ops for re-
treat
The attack was male by the Texans
about 4 O'Clock in the afternot n. whe n
their evening sies;a, whollV unpre-
psred fer battle. The result was a
complete route of the enemy In try
ing to rally their forces Cen raj Cas-
tillou, e brave Mexican general fell
covered with wounds. Santa Anna
mapaged to escape with his wooden
leg. but was afterwards taken prisoner,
disguised as private soldier concealed
in the tall prairie grass He was found
by party of Burleston's men who did
not suspect he was au officer, until
recognized by some Of his own soldiers.
In this fight the Texans lost eight
killed and twenty-five wounded.
Among the latter was Houston who
was severely wounded in the ankle.
The Mexicans lost $50 killed, $50
wounded and 100 prisoners, including
the president of Mexico, Santa Anna,
the Napoleon of the west.
The Texsn rs captured all their artil-
lery and camp stores, and chest coz
tanning Sl2, 600 in cash. The personal
property of the officers was restored,
but the stores and specie were divided
equitably among the victors. This
victory, achieved on the 21st of April,
1886, established the independence of
Texas as one of the republics of Amer
lea, and was followed by the withdraw
al soon after of all the Mexican forces
across the Rio Grande.
This battle with it's attendant cap
ture of the Mexican president, settled
the future of :the Texas republic, as
Santa Ana was compelled to recognize
the independence of the patriots. In
honor of this event the legislature has
made San Jacinto day a legal holt
