| - Burnet Square We respectfully call the attention of the County Court to
the condition of the Public Square. The trees, which add so
much to its beauty and comfort, will in a very short time be
killed outright, by means of horses hitched to them. If the
Square cannot be enclosed now, a load of Stone deposited
around each tree will to some extent preserve them from
destruction. It is hoped that the custodians of the public
property will do what they can to preserve it from entire
destruction. Let it be done at once. 14 March 1874 |

- Washing clothes Valuable recipe. Take one pound of sal soda and a half
pound of unslacked lime; put them in a gallon of water and
boil twenty minutes; let it stand til cold; then draw off
and put in a strong jug or jar. Soak your clothes overnight,
then wring them out and put on plenty of soap, and with one
boiler of clothes, well covered with water, add one
teaspoonful of the fluid. Boil half an hour briskly, then
wash well through one-suds and rinse through one water, and
your clothes will look better than the old way of washing
twice before boiling. This is an invaluable receipe, and
every tired woman should try it. With a patent wash tub to
do the rubbing, the washer woman might vompose herself on
the lounge and let the washing do itself. 14 March 1874

| - Curry, Capt. D. P. - will please accept our thanks for the able manner in which he conducted our paper for us, during our absence last week in Austin. We were fully aware of the fine legal ability of Capt. Curry as a lawyer, and are beginning to suspect now that he has occupied the editor's chair before. With the assistance of this gentleman, which we expect to secure on all possible occasions, the Bulletin is destined to be a success. 21 March 1874

We had the pleasure of meeting in our office this morning our old esteemed friend, Mr. John Harvey, now living in Salado. Mr. H, was formerly surveyor of this county, for many years. The old gentleman is in fine health, and speaks in glowing terms of the town of Salado, and its fine schools. Yet they lack one thing, a good live newspaper. Mr. Harvey pays a high compliment to the Bulletin for the bold stand we have taken, in opposing any dismemberment of this county on the north side. Mr. H. was one of the founders of this county. 21 March 1874

- Maltby, Capt Jeff. - We notice a petition with about 40 signers to it already, going round for the purpose of receiving signatures, asking the Govner to appoint Capt Jeff Maltby, Senior Captain of the Frontier forces when organized. The Captain would certainly be the right man in the right place. In the above position, Capt Maltby has always been a staunch defender of the frontier,; he possesses bravery, caution and the physical power to stand the hardships of frontier life. Besides this, he is well acquainted with the fromtier from Red River to the Rio Grande, and knows the Indian character in every treacherous move, from his youth up. We feel confident that Jeff will do good service in this sphere. 21 March 1874

May next. ÉThe old veteran must die, but the memory of San
Jacinto, Alamo and Goliad is so riveted upon the escutchment
of our noble State that those heroes that took part in the
scenes enacted there can never be forgotten. 4 April 1874
