Jesse d. Boykin has sold the
Eustace Herald after getting out three
issues. He says: Il regret very much
to announce the fact that have sold
the Eustace Herald. for the reason
that the people of Eustace have been
so nice TO me and so liberal in their
patronage of the paper" This does
not appear to the Review a good rea-
son for selling the paper. 1t rather
seems to be good reason not to sell
it. Mr.. Holcomb of Kemp is the pur-
chaser.-Athens Review.
From this it appears that the Re-
view failed to connect with Boykin's
irony.-Houston Post.
Our Interpretation would be that
Mr.. Boykin. after securing the neces-
sary &c. Washington and shtirttail full
of type" had only enough of the
scuddi of the earth left to trot the
Herald three rounds, after which it
was necessary to sell out or quit, and
it seems he chose the wiser part.

rass the administration. Governor
Colquitt is merely seeking light and
assistance.
The constitution of Texas, duly ap-
proved by the United States Senate,
empowers the Governor of the State
TO "repel invasion" This seems to
have clearly anticipated that a condi-
ton might arise wherein this border
State could exercise its independent
sovereignty and use force to expel in
truders. Governor Colquitt believes
this includes the right to pursue such
intruders to their own retreat, even if
that lies beyond the confines OF the
United States.
Bands of Mexican marauders are
continually invading Texas. In many
instances they are led or directed by
Mexican military commanders. AS
these men represent the only sem
blance of authority in Northern Mexico
the futility of extradition proceedings
as a means of obtaining satisfaction
is apparent.

You'd naturally expect something
large in the way of violence from en-
Bandit AL Jennings, in case he be-
came angered, wouldn't you? And yet
Al hasn't done thing to the lawyer
who called him a liar. Possibly, how
ever, Jennings is fearful that the law
yer might go ahead and prove it if he
questioned the assertion. Port Arthur

Probably the reason he refrained
from violence was. that being re-
