| will be given over all railroads. Those
coming over the Missouri Pacific will pay
full fare coming, and return on the .certih'
cate of the president of the association by
| paying one-fifth fare. ,
Persons coming over other roads will buy
round trip tickets at the depots from which
they start.
On the LIST day of August the law takes
effect reducing the fare over all railroads in
Texas to three cents per mile, consequently
some of the roads will make no reduction
under three cents, as they contend that
their regular excursion rates have been one
and one-ffth fare for the round trip, which
is the same as three cents per mile each
way. You are advised to enquire at the
time of buying your ticket whether reduc-
ton will be made under three cents per
mile each way, otherwise nothing will be
gained by buying round trip tickets
Tickets will be good from the SOlh OF July
to 9Th of August.
