took advantage of the interum between the San Saba and Lampasas Courts
to return home last Friday. He gave us an account of the murder
of the County Attorney of San Saba county...

The merchants here are doing a thriving business, buying cotton etc. they pay round Rock prices for cotton, and most all other classes of produce. The handsome Deputy Sheriff, J. H. S., was in our city yesterday and was looking around, spruced up, like he expected to meet some one. The South Gabriel gin has turned out about 120 bales of cotton up to date. The refugee flea from "Unicorn" has been heard through the intervention of the Aurephone, to bewail his and lot in this strain: My teeth are gone, my meals are done,
And I am left forlorne, The toughest skin that e'er has been, Was grown on "Unicorn." |
