Hay County and the Exposition.
Wo con fens wo hats been somewhat dis
appointed and aabsruoj at tha hitherto
abortivo efforts, made In this couuty to
wards being favorably repraute4 at the
great exposition at New Orleans. MseUugs
of both Indies and gentlemen bave been
stayed, but soon came to nought We
are ineliuea however to hope for better
things from the movement now on foot, the
snnounoemeut of which will be fouud iu
another column. We would earnestly
exhort our people to wake up tJ uiuke
this last effort a flue auocess. It will be
seeu that it Is not oouflued to our town, but
that it is proposed to enlist the entire peo
ple of the country in a oonibiued movement
This is aat should be.
We frequently hear people say that they
do not see what our county bus to show
that will be creditable to her. This is a
short-sighted view. For the partial en.
lighteuinent of this class, we beg to refer
them tc au article in another column from
Commissioner Elliott, which sets forth in
some detail the various exhibits which may
be made. We need not say that various
additions might be mode, so for as our
oouuty is concerned.
Railroad to Lullng.
This is a sub j oct which we have beard
spoken of for some time, and meant to have
said something in regard to it ere this.
Now we need uot do morn than refer to the
proceedings of the meeting in another
oolumn. The project looks to be feasible,
and its execution would certainly be of first
class Importance to our town and to the
people along this route. Dowu the river
they are almost unanimously for it, both
sides contending for the route. We earnest
ly hope to see the road put through.
We taer it all baok. Soou after the
issue of our lost, we received a rail from
two prominent ladies, who came, they said,
to assure us that we had wade a mistake in
stating that the organization of the Wo
man's Christian Temperance Union here
was about to be a failure. They Btated that
on the contrary it was going on, several
ministers had been enlisted, and meetings
been had, and that they were encouraged to
go forward. We are heartily glad to be
oorrecled in this case, believing such or
ganization may bo made the means of much
good in our town and vicinity. We are
glad further to state that the ladies having
asked for the nse of a column of the Free
Pkehs, it is hereby placed at their service
whenever they may wish to begin such a
department. We feel sure they will be able
to make it of interest and profit to our
readers.
These is or we trust will be one very im
portant nse and result of the water-works,
which perhaps has not been generally con
sidered. They will enable people having
cisterns to clean them out when needed,
and thus promote greatly the health of our
town. Heretofore people have hesitated
about cleaning their cisterns, even when
they knew it was very badly needed, lest it
might not rain for six months or so. as not
unfrequently happens in this country. The
consequence has beeu that such cisterns
have become filthy and deleterious to health.
It has been a great puzzle to physicians as
well as others why typhoid fevers should
occur liere, as tney sometimes do. m a
country so healthy as this, and with an air
so dry and pure, the disease mu.it result
from some local cause, and we' think it al
together likely such cause might niaiuly be
traced to the foul uncleaned cisterns. In
all points of view the experiment is certain
ly well worthy of being made.
The Commissioners' Court of Guadalupe
and Caldwell counties have united to build
a bridge over the San Marcos river at Mar-
tindale. Our (Jommissioners nave appro
priateed sjftlOO for this purpose and have ap
riointed one of their number to act with one
from Caldwell as a committee ro further this
object, ndvertise for bids, etc. We con
gratulate our friends about Martindale upon
this addition to their facilities for travel.

"Come to vonr quinine." This is the fa
miliar old army tune that these cold nights
and mornings is playing for many of our
citizens. It lias been a long time since mis
portion of Indiana was getting such a shak,
ino up as it is now. Ague and malarial
fevers are rife, and care must be taken or
more dancerous types of disease will follow
in their footsteps as the season advances.
We clip the above from an Indiana news
paper published in our part of that State,
which is regarded as the healthiest. It
sounds oddly to us as coming from there,
and especially here in Hays county, Texas,
where ague is almost unknown.
The Commissioners request us to remind
overseers of roads of their duty to provide
sign-boards at all cross-roads and to put up
mile posts on their respective roads. The
Commissioners are now ex-officio supervis
ors of all the roads in their districts and
thev will have to report at the February
term of the court all derelictions of over
seers. This report goes before the grand
jury for their action. "A word to ine wise
should be sufficient."
The above, which we clip from the Se
guin Times, is commended to whom it may
concern" in this county.

such was not the case however. The baby

The venerable Amariah Wilson, of whom
we have several times had occasion to make
mention, after having lived in Indiana, Illi

1844. Was nine months crosKing the plains.
Went to California in '47, and came thence
to Texas. His expeiience has been similar
and about as varied as that of Maj. Donal
son. The young folks of our town now have
some sort of a literary society. The last
meeting was at Mr. Franklin's, the evening
of the "fire," to which the young gentle
men responded in their best evening attire,
like the other young heroes to the call to
the battle of Waterloo from the ball-room
iu "Belgium's capital," as sung by Byron.
We have noticed for some time the farmer
like appearance of Dan Hofbeinz, but the
reason did not occur to us till we saw him
busily engaged in manual labor in his gar
den, on the way to the depot. He has a
splendid piece of ground, and has raised a
large amount of "garden truck." We no
tice he has a patch of tobacco growing
among his other "vegetables."
Nouh Steel, a well known colored man of
this place, being desirous of hearing from
his relatives, whom he supposed to be
somewhere in Fairfax county, Va., at our
suggestion recently had a notice inserted in
the paper published at Fairfax C. H. In
consequence ho informs us he has already
received several letters in response to the
notice. That is unquestionably the way to
do business. Nothing like advertising.
It is with sincere regret that we have to
record a very serious accident to L. D.
Jackson, the proprietor of the vegetable
garden at the San Marcos Mills. Ueversl
days since, while out with his market wag
on, his horse took fright, and Mr. Jackson,
in jumping from the wagon, dislocated an
ankle and also broke one of the bones of
the leg. It is a most serious hurt, vastly
worse than an ordinary fracture of a limb,
and will probably confine him to his room
for a very long time, Mr. Jackson is a
very worthy gentleman, a local Baptist
preacher, as well as a faithful daily worker
for the support of himself and of those d
pendeut upon him. who with him are en
titled to the sympathy and aid of this com
munity in this their time of trial.
Some weeks since Geo. Lineweber, an
old settler and citizen of this vicinity, came
into our office and subscribed for a copy of
the Fs Paaxa to be srot to Zee Mc

Railroad XeeUuff. ..
A considerable number of our oltiztns met
at tbe office of Judge Fisher in this place on
Friday evening last to consider the subject
of a railroad to Luliug. Jadge Fisher stated
that he had been in correspondence with
Mr. Converse of the Sunset road, who bad
suggested th idea of extending a tap road to
this place. He stated the Sunset company
had the irou aud other material on baud,
and Intimated that if our people would give
them the right of way aud depot grounds,
they might build Uie road.
After a general interchange of aentimeut
by gentlemen present, Judge Fisher was
called to 'he chair aud I. H. Julian appoint
ed secretary.
A motion of Maj. Hutohison, that a com
inittee of three be appointed to coimuuui
cate with the authorities of the Sunset road
and try to iuduoe them to order a survey of
the route, aud state on what terms they
would build it, was mado and carried.

"That "fire."
En. Fees Piiess. The alaority with
which our "fire boys" responded to the alarm
last week, augurs well for their efficiency
should they be called where their services
oould be available. '
Ten minutes after the alarm-was sounded
on tbe night that Fuss Wright's house was
burned, the Hook & Ladder Truck was on
the ground, well mauned and ready for ser
vice. A member of the Hose Co., was the
first white man at the fire.
The false alarm on the evening of tbe 15th,
has been severely denounced, and regarded
as reprehensible by many, who have not
thought of the purpose for which it was in
tended. In so fur as the object was to find
out with whut proiupti ude the members of
the company would respond to an "alarm,"
it was significant. - Within five minutes of
the first cry of fire a stream of water was
pouring on the flumes, aud the boys, many
of whom were in attendance at the general
social gatherings in town, clad in their "Sun
day best" gave no thought to their clothes
but ruHhed to the front Alarms of this
kind are necessary, and while they may be
objected to by the nervous "old ladies", of
both Hexes, they cannot be dispensed with.
The recent conflagrations at San Saba,
Lampasas and Greenville, should prompt
our people to deal leniently with the efforts
of the Fire Boys to promote and demon
strate their efficiency. . . .
A few words of enoonragement would be
in better taste than so much censorious
comment. The time may come when they
will be tried, should they fail at that time
no excuse should be offered and none ac
cepted for their dereliction, - until then the
people must bear with an occasional distur
bance, if disturbance it is to call the com
pany together without previous warning.

For The Fks Piickb, . .
Who Got Mad About It I
Well, one man thought the town was on
fire, no he proceeded with the greai est de
liberation to stick his leg through his coat
sleeves. He got mad because this way of
putting on one's garments is a very sane and
useful idea in case of a real fire, but at the
same time mnkis one feel like a fool when
there is only a false alarm.
Another man thinks it is all well enough
to allow an excitable" citizen to tear his shirt
on a picket fence aud rush barefooted
through broken glass bottles; it boing a
well known fact that such enthusiastic
individuals with their bleeding feet and
mangled night clothes, prove to be of great
service in case of real fire. But to be so
willing aud so well prepared for a night's
struggle, to be so cool and so determined to
sail right into the burning boxes oiled,
goods boxes why, surely this is enough
to drive one stark mad.
The above gentlemen are good citizens,
and have our sympathies. . But here is a man
whose accident on account of the false
alarm ought to put him on the track of
countless wealth.
This gentleman of majestio proportions,
mistaking the number of jitops from tbe
gallery floor to the around, took no time to
count them, and consequently fell on the
hard earth with such prodigious force as to
tear np a place big enough for a cistern.
Unless this gentleman could be induced to
aid the hook and ladder department by fall
ing against bouses that demand removal in
case of fire he could do no great good, for
if left to his own invention, be might take
up the whole of his invaluable time in full
ing over front yards without ever getting
himself to the scene of danger. Now if this
gentleman would take contracts for falling
around oyer tbe country where the people
want excavations for tanks and other pur
poses, his fortune is made. Jmt think what
the ship canal projectors would give for this
gentleman's services ! Fur.
Persons who msy at any time receive
copies of the Fuee Pkehs, will please nn
derstand that they are sent simply as samples,
in the hope that the parties addressed may
like it well enough to favor n with their
subacriptious, other ie they med have no
faaro of its being continued.
