WRITINGS OF SAM HOUSTON, 184-5
The News, Flake's Bulletin, and the Civilia.n. The result was that the Bulletin was suspended in 1873, and the Civilian in 1886. Hamilton Stuart had never been happy in his last partnership on the Civilian, so in January, 1874, he severed his connection with that paper which he had founded thirty-six years before, and attached himself to the editorial staff of The News where he remained until his death. See The Galveston Daily_ News, June 3, 1917; also, Lewis Publishing Company (1895 r, Histo1·y of Texas, Together With a Biographical History of the Cities of Houston and Galveston, 703-706.
