short time.since. We were then perfect strangers to the people of Albany and Shackel-
ford County, but even in so s'-ort a time and under what might be called unfavorable
circumstances, we have received a patronage from the public of whicn we justly feel proud
and for which we beg to tender our sincere thanks to those who have so generously favor-
ed us -with their patronage and to the public generally for its encouragement and kind
treatment, promising, in return, that sur future aims, as in the past; shall be to use every
honorable and legitimate means for the promotion of all enterprises that tend to the up-
building of the County and the welfare of the people with whom we have cast our lot-. •

Evory column of a newspaper' con-
tains ten or twelve thousand distinct
pieces of metal, the displacement of
any one of which would cause a blun-
der or typographical error. And yet
some people lay claim to particular
smartness if they find an error in a
newspaper.—Morgan News.
True, the vain glory of some people
consists in bringing themselves into
notice by criticising things they have
no conception of.
There is much said about a boom,
but we stop to say that neither Run-
nels county nor the city of Ballinger
is on a boom, but is blessed with a
good steady healthy growth, just such
as is seldom witnessed and rarely re-
alized.—Ballinger Leader.
Same here, too, Billups. Our boom

The man who manipulates the bell j
cord over a mule's back and wields j
the hoe can find 110 more inviting fields |
for his labors than in this county. It ■
is here where cheap lands can be
bought, a delightful climate and as !
fine soil as is in the state.—ltaynor
Lasso.
We suppose the bell cord, is to ring
off the mule when he kicks the mau
over the fence.
A petition, which is being largely
signed, is circulated at Hillsboro, ask-
ing the members of the court'of ap-
peals to resign.—Vernon Guard.
That petition will have about the
same effect that the peremtory de-
mand of the man to his dog to go out
of the house and instead of complying
the dog went under the bed, when ho
changed his demand to suit the action
of the dog. The people of Hillsboro

And he will consult his own incli-
nations. and away he will go.
The Lampasas Leader copies a long
article from the Mirror—the joke oa
the candidate who was fixed for his
crowd—and failed to give propercred-
it. We don't care a copper for our*
selves, but we want Hill county to
have due credit for her enterprising

There has been a great deal to say
in the papers about "Stanley's rear
guard." The, theory appears to be
conclusive that Stanley did not per-
amulato the jungles in a long-tailed
coat.—Vernon Guard.
No, but the account of his journey
seems destined to be "long-tailed,"
with a "rear guard" sequal to it.
Our thanks ure due Mr. O. I). Me-
Connell of the Vernon Call for a com-
plimentary notice of the News man in
his last issue, and also appreciate the
reminiscence of an old joke told at our
expense. In the notice given of Alba-
ny we think Bro. MeConnell was a lit-
tle off when he says "there is scarcely
any business done in Albany." We
think if he will look at the advertising
columns of the News and "compare
them with the Call lie will reconsider
W
his remarks, Ant}, if he had taken
time to inquire into the freight re-
ceipts at the depot, and the daily bus-
iness of E. E. Conrad & Co , N. II'
Burns & Co. and others, lie would
have thought twice before making the
remark. However we are ready to
pardon the mistake. It is but natural
when an editov devoted to his ovKi
town makes a comparison with his
neighbors to shoot.11 little wide of the

The site for the world's fair may
not have been definitely fixed, but the
salaries have.—Dallas News.
That's natural, in these (jays of

Hillsboro is the only town in the'
State that is behind the country sur-
rounding it.—Hillsboro Mirror.

The Chieftain respectfully urges the
newly elected eonnty commissioners to
open a sufficient number of public
roads. Public . roads , can .be had at
much less expense at present than in
the future, as tha ground over which
they should pass is getting more ex-
pensive every day.—Clay County

Good advice, Chieftain, we recom-
mend the same to our Court.

The danger ahead for/the Farnflrs

OLD TIMES IN TEXAS.
Frontier Reminiscences.
The history of Texas, will confaitl
no grander examples of true heroism,
than the lives, hardships and trials, of
those noble frontiersmen, who blazed
the way for civilization, and made it
possible to inhabit and develope the
magnified nt resOu cs of this rich and
fertile country. Within the confines
of Shackelford and adjoining counties,
still live, a few nigged, honest old
geutlemen, whose experience during
the past thirty-five or forty years, emj
brace all the exciting reality, incident
to living in a frontier country inhabit?
ed by hostile Indians and wild ani#
mals. )
These old gentlemen are now near-
ing the sunset of life, and will soon
cross the silent river to the great be*
youd.
As an' humble tribute of respect to
them in their green old age, and, as a
lasting remembrance of their daring
deeds, that will make the history of
our State more complete, the Nkw8
asks them to contribute their personal {
reminiscence of old times ori the fron-
tier. It will be a nice pleasant recre*
ation for their winter evenings, to re-
call to memory the stirring events of
their lives, while some members of the
family or friend, can give the News a
basis upon which a connected history
can be published, that will be interest-
ing, and a lasting momeuto, to leave
behind them.

Matthews, Uncle Mat Franz, Judge
