he triumphantly exhibited to tho cons

The colonel tried the law In the west,

The colonel doesn't tell ~ if he found
things any smoother in journalism
anyhow, failure resulted, II however,

that because II man fails Vt everything

The depressing and enoYa'lne
climate of San Antonio, That's too
rich, when all the world knows that
the fame of the healthlul climate of san
Antonio yearly attracts involids from
all parts of the world, That ought to
have proved too much even for the
cyedulity Of our Atlanta contemporary,
Colonel s. had 81 500 year in Dali

but the annals of law will disclose that
our population compares iayombly with
the older states in all the essentials of
reverence for law and obedience to its
behests, People do not open their
arms and purses to strangers here until
they have learned them worthy it

daily paper, and lastly at teaching, and
all within u year, We would say, stay
at home. But if you want to take hold
of the pillow handles and are willing

as that the charm and delight
of refined society left behind, will not
weigh you down, then we say come, and
IN one year you Will accomplish more
