LAMPASAS, TEXAS.
#. jf. BEALL Editor
SigitUen Hundred And Seventy
Right.
Thursday Saming, Jan. 3, 'IS.
McCüLLOUGH AND TULLI8, two
of the land forgers, Lave gone on to
the penitentiary. Hum will await
the action of the Appellate Court.
We hear of quite a number oí
people having been drowned in
crossing high waters during tn*
late rains, in different parts of the
State.
It will be seen from the financia]
'statement of this county, that
when the taxes now being collected
are paid, the county will be ou fc of
debt and have a little surplus on
Vicryl. County warrants ought, no
longer, to be at a discount, and
those who can, should hold on to
their scrip until they get full value
for it. The expense of prisoners
and paupers constitute the heaviest
items of county expenses.
The papera are discussing the
penitentiary question in which
Gov. Hubbard, Burnet & Eüpat-
rick and others aro engaged. We
have always thought something
was wrong in the manner in which
the lease was made, but we had
.hoped that oar Governor would
come oat with clean hands. The
charges are broad, and as yet, the
explanations are hardly satiafac-
" tory. Nothing but au opea and
full vindication will satisfy the
people, vie trust that Governor
U.v-bard will reinstate himself in
£{..<iia confidence.

'• Backward, torn backward O time in
your flight,
Make me a child again j ust ¿or

Aye," just for to-night" that I might
be rid for a brief season of the carte
aad perplexities of buey manhood, and
la childish glee and joyous expectation
Uve over again the glorious anticipa.
tloBd of to-morrow's maniflconce.
Tis a long time sinco I listened with
«Ofifldence to the enchanting stories of
Santa Ciaos, and took from my busy
feet the little stockings to hang by the
fireplace, a safe receptacle for the little,
pr«dents I was then sure he would bring
me. Bat long as the time is, in an in-
stant it is spanned by memory, and all
the scenes and incidents connected with
aay last impatient ¡raiting for -Santa
Claus aro revived in my miad, fresh as
occurrences of yesterday. Thank God
fof the gift of memory, tho hallowed
bridge that reachcs back over the last
widening abyes of tho past, and rests
securely on the pillow of childhood, the
firmest, most enduring of all its sup-
jjoiia. Vfho would part with these
memories of childhood ? I sometimes
wondec if time ever blots from memory's
page these cherished reminiscences.
God grant that mine may he fresh when
I lie down in deaih. They bring ua
nearer to children, more la sympathy
with their desires and escited imagina-
tions on this, of all anniversaries, the
most memorable to them. All day
they have talked of Santa Claus and
the suspended stocking; many ques-
tions- have been asked of parents and
friends, all of which we hope have been
kindly and patiently answerwj. Each
one has selected .the place where bis
or her stocking will bo hung and ex-
pressed the detire that some particular
. • present might be found there in the
morning. Fond parents will delight to
gratify these litilc wants and wishes,
and, where they are able, in most in-
stances, will see that Santa Claus
brings the precent wished for. But all
over the land there are thousands of
lluv children with no parents to gratify
their w nt3 and childish whims, and
other thousands with parents in penury
and want, wholly unable to do fo.
Who will be a Santa Claus to them V
Ah, cruel question; how it bitters the
enjoyment of my own children's happi-
ness, Would that 1 could be a Santa
Claus to all of them. No little clock-
ing should be passed unnoticed, nutuj' a
fond mother's tears should be dried to-
night, and every little heart should be
happy to-morrow. U>;d pity them. 1
will drive back these sad reflections into
the depths of my own heart lest their
shadows mar the happinees of the little
hearts around me. Their little stock-
ing ar;« carefully hung on ^acli side the
fireplace; gocd-uightohave been kissed;
the little prayers have Le^ii said ; the
tired little, hands and feet are stiJl , the
curly heads rest quietly on their pillows
v.Li!o their ever active minds wander in
■ dref inland till the morning, when they
will find that Santa did not for-
get t Latin.
Tilt; bells herald the advent of the
anniversary of the Saviour's birth, and

It is Christmas,
The old year is dead. 1877,
freighted with the woes and sor-
rows cf the millions, and the joys
and the happinesses of the thous-
ands, had glided into the too soon
forgotten past, aud we enter to-day
upon a new year wiih its increased
cares, responsibilities and duties.
If we have faithfully discharged
the duties of our respective stations
during the year just closed, we can-
not expect to lind them no greater
in the year whose coming we hope-
fully welcome to-day.
No man can long remain in the
same station in life; he must either
move forward or retrograde. The
same is true of-states and commu-
nities. If we are oí the progress-
ive class, moving on in the scales
of improvement, we must expect a
corresponding increase in the cares
and duties of life, which, if faith-
fully performed, will increase in the
same ratio our happiness and con-
tentment as individuals and as a
people. The new year linda the
people of our State, and especially
of our section, at peace with them-
selves and the world, and full of
cheerful hope for the future. It is
the days, of all others, for new re-
solves, brighter hopes and happier
expectations. When the sua came
up this morning, full of glory and
of splendor, to dry from nature's
check the tear that had been shed
by the shadow of night o'er the
bier of the departed year, we won-
der how many of our readers
paused and looked back through
the events of the passed year, aud
formed fixed resolves to mend their
ways for the new. If there are
3ome who hare sad ghosts of the
past, or grim spectres of the pres-
ent that will not down at their
bidding. Surely they may be van-
ished, at least for a time, by high
resolves and noble purposes, consci-
entiously formed; for this day, so
calm, so bright, is full of hope and
promise. The harvest of last year
was abundant, and our barnea are
filled with plenty. The people of
our great State are supplied with
the necessaries and many of. the
comforts of life. There is less of
destitution and want in the State
of Texas in proportion to the pop*
ulation than in any State of the
Union. In consideration ol these
magnified blessings we have abund-
ant cause to be thankful to the
Great Giver of all good, and should
enter upon the new year with fixed
determinations to mend our ways,
reform our habita and be more
moral, industrious and economical
than we -have been, entertaining an
abiding faith in the continued pro-
tection and blessings of God; and
we guarantee the next new year
will find us in improved circum-
stances, wiser, happier and better
men and women. Hoping that all
its readers will try it, The Dispatch
wishes each and every one ol them
a happy new year and many returns
of the day.

Of eternity and truth ;

And whispers a lesson to youth.

Since last the yule log burnt ;
And we have a task to closely ask,

Editor Ltimpafas Dispatch :
Dkak Sir—Thinking that an item of
news from the Valley of th9 Lampasas
might be of some interest to you and
your man}' readers, and to do justice in
part to the neighborhood in the interest
of which this is written. In your last
number before Christmas I noticed that
there .would bo a grand jollification and
dinner at what is known as the Brooks,
Morris and Clayton school house on
Christmas day, and havicg previous to
that learned that a general invitation
way extended to this settlement to be on
hand, the temptation was too great for
your correspondent to remain away, bo
on the- day appointed my family and
self took shipment for that, point. We\

Of those true hearts left behind1
No, no, it were not well or wise
To mourn witb endless pain ;
Thoie's a better world beyond the skies.
Where tho good shall meet again.
Tbtna welcome and cheer to tin ni-ir/

While tho hoTlj gleans above us ;
With a pardon for the foes who haie,
And a prayer for those who love us.
Have our days rolled on serenely freo
i rom sorrow's dim alloy?
but by 12 o'clock there was almost a
multitude. Next came the dressing of
the Christmas tree, which was very
íúce^jLhough not gorgeous; t-lien came
'wliítVvas more to the delight of the
crowd—dinner, the like of which is
seldom seen. The table was some 70 or
7o feet long and fairly groaned beneath
the load that was spread thereon, while
theresvas enough to have fed the whole
towii^oi Lampasas, and just here I
Do we .«till possess the gifts that bless j would say the greatest wonder was that

Clinging i
And till our aouis with joy ?
Are the erea. tures dear Still
near 1
Do we hear loved voices come ?
Do we gaze ou eyes whose glances Eked
A halo rosad our home ?
Oh, if we do, let thanks bs poured
To him who ba.th spared and given,
And forget not o'er the festive l>oard
The mercies held from heaven.
Then a welcome and ebeor'.to the happy
new year
While the holly gleams above us,
With a pardon i'or the foes who hate,

"We flourish awhile. Men take
us by the hand and are anxious
about the health of our bodies" and
laugh at our jokes, and we really
think,' like the fly on the wheel,
that we have something to do with
the turning of it. The sun does
not stop for oar funeral, everything
aoes on >3 usual, we arc not missed
fu the street, ^en laugh at the new
and kuowia ;tt thesaaie time that most
of tbsm are very fond of good " grub."
The crowd was estimated at from 3o0 to
500 souls, all of whom seemed to enjoy
themselves. The best order prevailed
the whole time, and every one present
rínerní>d to try who could behave the best.
After dinner speaking and music was
the order o£ things; Speaking was
opened by Mr. R. T. Walker, (school
teacher ¿ad brother to £L De Walker,)
who made a very appropriate speech on
education, .being followed by Mr. A. a.
Knox from this neighborhood, who made
a pood sp^cch on Prohibition, beiDg fol-
lowed by Mr. Scott and others. 1 found
while there that tita citiaeca of that com-
munity will not stop short of a general
prohibition in this county, aud there
alrs-ady seems to be quite an enquiry as
to who will be our next officers to till the
various offices after* next November,

charge their duty faithfully the re-
mainder of their terms. That i justa

tkbir aurv&r.ta to a birict- account for the
way they discharge their duty. Then
the ?ar payers will pay fewer taxes

I will hero state my views briefly on
the subject: At oar next regular meet-
ing in February that Court, in the name
of humanity, will be forced to levy a
pauper tax for tho support of the poor.
Do the tax payers prefer to annually
pay a pauper tax, which will increase
wiih each year, without any chance to
ever get a dollar back ? or do they
prefer what 1 advocated at our last
meeting—establish a county farm where
all of thyae that claim food and shelter
