We presume II Is useless to say that
the Mission drug store in the Fourth
ward has always been managed in first
class and accommodating manner, but
in the future, under the new manage
ment, it is the aim of the proprietors TO
equal, If not excel any drug store in the
city. Messrs. Rice Brothers have taken
charge of the business, and have refltted
the house, and have just received fresh
stock. DIR. ii. A. Blair will have charge
of the prescription department. DIR. III.
A. Blair is a thorough pharmacist, a
graduate of the Hungarian, Louisville
and other prominent colleges, and is also
master Of all the languages. No one
should fail to visit the Mission drug store
If they want anything or not, for you
will find prices very low. 5-0-tf

Editor San Antonio Light.
Alderman Story, In the Council the
other day, stated that there was great
satisfaction by the Mayor, Aldermen
and citizens generally, or words to that
effect, with the work Of the present
Street Commissioner. Now, we must
differ with Mr.. Story in regard to this
matter. II is evident to the citizens
who have paid any attention to the work
ings Of the present Street Commissioner,
that he has performed more work and
been of more benefit to the city than any
Street Commissioner we have had in
wears. But he will not be used as u
tool by any parties, hence there Is some
opposition to him. With the limited
force at his command, Mr.. Russi has
performed wonders. He has taken up
old graveled streets and sub-graded and
put them In excellent condition, and has
built system of bridges that are n
credit to his judgment and enter
prise. And the half could not
be told in n short article like
this. 1t IL true he was OPP
posed some OF Mr.. Story's darling
schemes, but he had a perfect right to
do so, and that fact does not make him
any the less a good Street Commissioner.
The Council should protect good officers
in the discharge Of their duties, and If
they will not do so, the people by whom
these officers are elected, and from whom
they hold certificates Of election, will
do so.
And talking about dissatisfaction with
city officials, do not know of an official
