of a party consisting of the mayor, members
of the council and other oitizens to visit ana

to tb. proposed work of cleaning out the
accumulation of decaying vegetation, etc,
We went by bus to the ioe faetory, and the
rest of tho way by boat We had not made
tbe trip for so long that we found It again a
novel one. We found that Mr. Code had
done no inconsiderable amount of work in
the way of cleaning np, greatly to tha Im-
nmved aooaaraooe of the main channel or
lake. Tet but a small fraction of what is to be
and should be dona, has been accomplished.
We had no previous ides of the amount of
decavinit vegetable matter in toe nver.
Which not only greatly mars its beauty
but most also tend to us pair the healttitnl-
of tha vicinity. Not only this but

men subsequently reported twenty alliances
M0. In addition to these there was a con
siderabl. number of brethren from this and
adjoining oountlos present. Tha minute,
of tha Janury meeting, held la Buds, and
of tha called meeting In Kyle, on March 8,
were approved. Th. letter received March
31 from the Hon. L. W. Moore through
Mr. Ed. J, L. Green of Ban Mareoa, refor
rincr to tha resolution passed by this Alli
ance at it. January meeting, was laid before
th. bouse. It is only fair to that gentle
man, to state that tha communication ad
dressed to him, from some causa or other
failed to reach bim and as a oonseqnenoe
elicited no reply. A motion was then oar.
oled that th. chair appoint a committee to
whom all resolutions shall be referred .pre.
vious to presenting them to the house
The chair named on said committee C. L
Llghtfoot. Y. E. Worley, J. T, Albright,
M. L. Ward, and Thos. W. Smith.
Bra. It. J. Bledse read an extract from
the speech and called attention to tha stand
taken bv Senator Reagan In tha debate on
the bond purchasing bill, and moved that a
epeoial committee be appointed to commend
his aotion in the above casa. Thi. being
agreed to, the ohair appointed B. J. Sledge,
O. L. Lightfoot and J. T. Albright
Motion to adjourn till 1 p. m.
After adjournment Brother Sledge called
attention to tbe law of the State, limiting
co-operative .tores to a capital .took of
920,000, remarking as this was a aubjeot In
hioh wa were interested, and aa Brother
Ellison, one of our representatives in tbe
State legislature, was present in the room,
he would, no doubt, make some observa
tions respecting it and the general bearing
and attitude of tbe legislature as regards
the interests of tbe peoplo, and also show
how far their efforts are aided or opposed
bvthe State senate. Mr, Ellison in an
able manner dearly" explained oertain efforts
made by the lower house in the interest of
the farmer, and showed how these efforts
had been met by the aotion of the senate.
He further said it was quite true, also, that
pronounced sentiment existed amongst
some of the members of that body in favor
of changing the present homestead law,
in the manner, as we understand it, aa ad
vocated by Mr. N. B. Sligh, late president
of the Texas National Bank Association.
It was plainly demonstrated that some of
the senators referred to were quite compe
tent to give force to their arguments by
language which is so volubly expressed and
generally admitted as the peoulior preroga
tive of the Billingsgate fishmarkets. Alto
gether tho honorable gentleman succeeded
admirably in impressing bis hearers with the
conviction that that august body, the State
senate (some of them at least) entertained
about as much sympathy for the people, and
regard for the wolfare of the masses as is
generally supposed to have animated tbe
bosom of W. H. Vandorbilt when bo made
that ever memorable retort of "The people
be damned."
A motion was carried to add Brother
Sledge to the committee on resolutions.
Brother Llchtfoot next read an article
from the "Mercury," of Murch 22nd on the
radamDtion of four per oent bonds. After
some discussion relative to the above a mo
tion was carried that the seoretaty forward
copy of the artiole in question to the Hon.
. H. Reagan and ascertain from that gen
tleman whether there is any provision in
the statutes by which said bonds may be
placed on the open market and submitted
to competition.
Mr. Liffhtfoot made a verbal report con
cerning tho proposed agricultural and stock
fair, concluding his remarks by saying so
little interest was evinced in the project
either by the coram itte or publio, that he
iqnested to be released from furthor ser
vice as one of the committee.
Brother Sam Johnson and W. D. Bran-
num also made verbal reports respecting
the business agency department. It ap
pears that goods dispatched three weeks
and more since have not yet been received.
but this is supposed to be owing, in great
part at least, to tbe deep interest manifested
by the railway companies for tbe people,
consequently it ia impossible to feel and
disappointment on this score.
The secretary then placed before tbe
meeting, tbe proposal to make the New
Braunfela Woolen Factory and Alliance,
oo-operative, undertaking to be managed
and controlled by the Alliance share hold
ers only. A considerable discussion en
sued principally for the purpose of obtain
ing full and reliable information, resulting
in the resolve to support and encourage tbe
enterprise, and apply any unrppropriated
money in the hands of tbe treasurer to tbe
Dnrchase of share, for tha Hays Co. Farm-
era' Alliance).
Tbe relief committees submitted a report
of their last disbursements, which showed
the funds devoted to this purpose to ba ex
hausted.
Motion carried to adjourn until 8 p. m
After adjoorment a motion was carried to
take np the list of resolutions:

We failed to. get in our letter last week
owing to our making a sudden and nnantir.
ipated trip to Austin. We were out of tha
oountry five days when wa went to tho
oity, the tree bads were well swollen,
but the limbs stood out in bare lines against
the sky. When we got back the trees were
in full leaf and tha landscape was as chang
ed as If it bad boen transplanted to another
olimate. How wonderful are tha works of
Nature!
Austin is full of the coning drill, and
