SAN ANTONIO IN THE PATHWAY OF
GREATNESS.

/ We are quite sure few of our
people have even thought upon the
future of our city, when it is a chief
point on the great highways to the Pa
ci6c and to the city of Mexico and to
all Mexico.
We we're once anxious over the COM
ing of one road, and we trembled for
the fate of our town lest that road
should be built beyond US.
Two roads have not only been COM
pleted to our city but through it, and
| are now far beyond-one into Mexico,
and the other rushing on to link us to
the Pacific.
But these two roads, the "Sunset"
and the International, represent some
thing else than two simple lines of
railway starting from given point and
ending at another given point; they
represent great systems of roads, net
work of roads all over the United
States, and still more important, all
over Mexico.
The Gould-DeGress system connects
with the International and runs through
to the city of Mexico, starting at Laredo
and running down the Rio Grande 100
miles to the town of Mier, thence d.
rectly south 200 miles to the town of
Victoria, and thence on down to the
city of Mexico, skirting the tall noun
tains of Hidalgo and penetrating some
of the finest country in the republic
and connecting with trunk line to the
Pacific.
Gen. John B. Frisbie, Mr.. Hunting
tons agent has secured a modification
of the railroad franchise already obtain
ed. Piedras Negras now being made
the terminus. The grant to Mr.. Hunt
ington enables HIM to build roads to
the Atlantic and Pacific. The line
from Piedras Negras will, with its
various branches, penetrate the states
of Coahuila, Nueva Leon, Tamau-
lipas, Zacatecas-and perhaps San
Luis Potosi and Vera Cruz-Durango,
Slnaloa, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Quere-
taro, Hidalgo and Mexico, while the
Western Belt Line will, beside cross
ing Sinaloa, Colima, Tichoacan and
Guerrero. Thus this grand railroad
system will cover certainly IS and
probably II of the Fl states that COM
prise the Mexican republic, while its
numerous branches will freight to the
main trunk line the many and varied
products of the tropic and semi-tropic
agricultural regions of our sister re-
public; which precious freight will in.
turn, through the American connec-
tons of this system, be distributed
throughout the different markets of
this county.
The "Sunset" now, or soon to be a
part of the Huntington orr Southern
Pacific road will branch to Eagle Pass
and from there become the entering
line of the great Huntington Mexican
railway system.
1t will not be many months before
much of this outlined enterprise will be
under full headway.
San Antonio rests between two
streams of commerce, embraced by
two oceans, the gateway of new era.
How grandly our future begins to
open.
At this juncture it seems to us that
we are lagard in preparations for the
new era.
San Antonio should be made the
cleanest, prettiest, healthiest, most
attractive city of the southwest, and

Good Coffee.

Everybody wants it, but very few get it, be-
cause most people do not know how tc select
coffee, or it is spoiled IN the roasting or making
To obviate these difficulties has been our

ing various Aavors. They are roasted in the
most perfect manner lit is impossible to roast

packages lin the bean, not ground,) bearing
our signature as guarantee Of commences,
and each package contains the Thurber recipe
for making good coffee. Wepack two kinds,
Thurber's ''No- a." strong and pungent;
Thurber's "No. A." mild and rich. One or
the other will suit the taste. They have the
three great points, good quality, honest guam
tity, reasonable price. Ask your grocer for
Thurber's roasted coffee in pound packages,
"No. 81" or "No. A." Do not be put off
with any other kind-your own palate will tell
you what is best.
Where persons desire it, we also furnish the
s1deal' coffee pot, the simplest, best and
cheapest coffee pot in existence. Grocers who
sell our coffee keep them. Ask for descrip-
