ntered at the Postoffice at Bryan, Texas, as Second Class main matter. BY CONNELLY, PALMER CARNES, SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR: Per Week, 10c. - - Per Month, 40c SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1899. An exchange notes a peculiar case of jail delivery. It says ‘‘a prisoner in the Lockhart jail has broken out with smallpox. The Colorado Democrat rises to re mark that the worst enemies of the Hanna administration will not claim that it ever betrayed a trust. The press is commenting on the fact that all the generals commanding the British army in South Africa are Irish. Baller, Metheun, French, White, Gata cre, Forester and Kelly-Kenny, as well as Lord Wolseley, the commander-in chief of all the British forces, one and all are Irish, and the great Wellington was Irish, too. Bryan should keep in mind the prop osition for a Free Baptist College here, and when the proper time arrives should be ready to respond to the prop osition with such inducements as will secure the location of the school here. Once established, such an institution will grow in scope and influence every year and prove a permanent benefit to the city in every way.
