We went boating on our river on Tuesday
with the Kyle pic-nic party the first time
we had been on it since the completion of
the new dam. That has vastly improved it
for boating. You can now go a long dis
tance up the slough as well as the river.
There are also several new and more com
fortable boats. Ex-Governor Lubbock said
here that he had visited the source of the
San Marcos of old, and thought he appreci
ated its beauties, but on going over it in a
boat, ho found he previously had no just
conception of its varied charms, buch is
the General verdict. No visitor to our town
should fail to make this delightful trip.
A new spirit of competition has sprung
up. The uauey s on ino corner re
running in opposition to the auction. See
difference in prices:
Honey-comb white bed spread, fl 75,
Best Kid Shoes, $3 00 to $3 50.
