A BUNCH OF INTERESTING, BUSINESS,
SOCIAL, AND PERSONAL GOSSIP
By an Industrious Cresset scribbler—A
Breezy letter from a bustling little
Prairie city—A word of commen-
dation on the County Commis-
sioners.
Kyle is on a boom. Wagons loaded
with cotton are daily coming In from
all points of the compass. Four cot-
ton buyers patrol the streets paying
as good a price for the fleecy staple as
can be obtained at Austin. Cur mer-
chants are selling goods cheap and
have a fine variety to make selec-
tions from. Taken all in all, farmers
can do as well here as at Austin.
Despite the drouth at the making
season it is asserted by observing
farmers, half a bale of cotton will be
gathered per acre.
Mr. Carpenter, an Illinois disciple
of Biackstone paid our town a visit
during the week. He is representing
a number of farmers of the Buckeye
state, who are desirious of bujfing
homes and casting their lot in the
Lone Star. He expressed himself
highly pleased with this portion of
the state. It is hoped his good judge-
ment will cause him to recommend
Hays county as the place of all places
for his friends to drive a stake down
and tie to. Our citizens will extend
the newcomers a hearty welcome
when they arrive.
There are a few cases of dengue
fever in town, but it is confined to a
few families.
Methodist general conference con-
vened at this place Saturday. Sun-
day quite a large crowd assembled to
listen to an able sermon by the pre-
siding elder, Rev. Mr. Horton.
The Cresset is fast gaining popu-
larity here and will continue to gain
friends and elicit compliments as
it becomes better known to our people.
A daily mail route has been estab-
lished between this place and Lock-
hart, to take effect the first day of
July, 1886. However, if the present
mail contractor can be induced to
come to this place instead of Austin
the change can be made before the
letting of the new contract.
The citizens of Kyle are full of
thanks to the commissioners court
for the liberal appropriation made at
its last term for the construction of a
calaboose at this place. A site has
been pui chased by our energetic citi-
zens and work will begin at an early
day. Thus a long felt want will be
met.
Saturday was a busy day for our
merchants, and when their labors
were over it is safe to say each of them
had a good cash balance, a happy
heart, and a conscience devoid of of-
fense.
Mr. S. R. Cowen, for some time
foreman in the News office, has gone
to his home l at Lockhart. He will
take thesan|e position on the Register
there, he hell on the News. Sain is
a most deserving young man and has
a promising future before him.
Thursday night a most pleasant
party was given at the residence of
Mrs, Moore. All was joy and mirth
from early dewy eve till a late hour
bid happy hearts and smiling part.
The Kyle Seminary numbers about
150students. This prosperous begin-
ning foretells a most successful and
satisfactory ending to both teachers
and pupils.
Three new business houses have
just opened at Kyle, with fair pros-
pects for all. There is room for more
who may desire to try their fortunes
in a live little city of push and busi-
ness. Silvester.

A very pleasant sociable was held
at the residence of Mr. Wooten Fri-
day evening. Music, singing and
joyous conversation stole the hours
away only too rapidly. Ladies in
attendance were Mrs Forsythe, and
Misses Lou Wooten, Allie Dockery,
Lou Chastain, Cecelia and Mollie
Ezell, Sallie Bills Cannie Kirby and
Effie Townsend.
A delightful dance party was held
at the residence of Mr. R. Prescott
Friday night. It was the openiLg
uance of the gay season and it was
determined it should be as merry as a
marriage bell, and right well it came
up to expectation. The girls were all
belles,and the boys—Ah! yes,the dear
boys, were just splendid. Bright
sparkling eyes dimmed kerosene re-
flection, and rippling laughter went
merrily throughout the house. Dance
succeeded dance to a very late hour of
the night when the terpsecoriau vota-
ries “swearing soon to meet again,
tore themselves asunder.”
Ladies gracing the occasion were
Mrs. Prescott, Mrs. Sellig. Mrs. Pate,
and Misses Mamie Peeples, May Bock,
Annie Beil, Fannie Robinson, Tennie
Greathouse and Willie Williamson.

Considering their artistic merit,
and the handsome style in which
they are gotten up, Bailey’s views of
San Marcos scenery are remarkably
cheap. With commendable liberal-
ity, too, Mr. B. has donated one-
fouvtli of the amount realized on sale
of these views to the San Marcos S. S.
Assembly. Every citizen should in-
vest at least a dollar or two in emour-
agementof such an enterprise as this.

Sunday afternoon near five o’clock
as lazy folks were napping and indus-
trious folks not much more awake,
an alarm of fire was given. The fire
boys were soon at their post and the
dong dong of the bell as hose reel and
hook and ladder truck went rattling
to the scene of the blaze helped to
wake up drowsy minds. The cause
of the sounding of the alarm was the
discovery of a slight blaze on the roof
of the house used by Mexicans as a chili
con carne restaurant, As a hydraunt
and ladder were convenient the fire
was extinguished even before the ar-
rival of the hose. Had the file or-
iginated at night we would have had
a first class conflagration, as the roof
was as dry as time and hot sunshine
could make it. It may be pertinent
to remark that a night watchman
might be a town luxliry well worth
the indulging.
From Oct 2nd to 6th, inclusive
tickets to St. Louis and return will

Tickets good to return till Oct. 15.

m. for the purpose of organizing a

tendance of all persons interested is

Mr. Jas. Dixon had his arm very
severely cut in a gin near San Mar-
cos last Thursday. He was brought
to town and Dr. Pendleton dressed
the wound. While the cuts are
painful there will he no serious
consequences.
As announced elsewhere the great
Barrett railroad show will exhibit
at San Marcos October 9th. People
who enjoy ring performances will
find enough to please under the
canvas ofthis gigantic circus. From
the accounts at other places the
street parade will be the most ex-
tensive ever seen on our streets,
A visit to the photograph gallery of
Mr. E. H. Chapman cannot fail to
impress one with tlie excellence of
the work done by our north side ar-
tist.
It would seem to us the duty of
San Marcos young men to have
their names enrolled in one or the
other of the fire companies.

Iaci-easa of Profanity.
[Chicago Tribune.]
It seems as if the increase of profanity
were correspondent with the general
spread of intelligence, the distribution of
wealth, the increase in the number of
graduates of the public schoo’s. the
general expansion and activity of the peo-
ple. It is certainly in many individua’
cases the inevitable concomitant of th
imperious instinct for expression au>
self-assertion.
This instinct is becoming more and
more developed in an entire class of our
people, who are beginning to feel the ef-
fects of civilivation, of increased popula-
tion, and of social propinquity. AVhereas
once they were few :n numbers, under
the necessity of hard work and wholly un-
occupied with the thought of amusement,
they are now numerous, well-to-do, more
or less gay, and they accordingly feel in
:ts fullest measure the workings of the
great instinct of expansion. Aecord’ngly
they have “ began to curse and to swear ”
like Peter when he felt within an imper-
ious desire to say a great deal and realty
had nothing to say.
With a great many, perhaps with most
swearers, profanity simply means tin*
articulate expression of thought or emo
tion. For people whose powers of ex
pressiou are slight, who have only re
cently come to feel the need of any. pro-
funity-has the attraction of seeming to be
very expressive. AVe shall never, as a na-
tion, swear any less until our society in
general insists more on adequacy and ac-
curacy of expression and definitely makes
up its mind what is mere intetjectional
exuberance and what is grossly indecent.
DENTISTRY. •
In introducing himself profession-
ally to the citizens of San Marcos and
vicinity, Dr. H. A. Fuller takes pleas-
ure in announcing that he has se-
cured a large and well ventilated
office, southern exposure, over First
National bank, especially adapted to
the comfort of his patients during the
heated season. He desires to state
that he has come to Texas to remain
and feels there is room for a home in
San Marcos.
Having had a thorough training in
a first class dental college, and with
an experience of nine years practice,
he guarantees perfect satisfaction at
reasonable prices, to all those requir-
ing his services.
