CARTER MuLLALY, TRANSFER.
The railways that enter San Antonio
were not located with an eye open for
the convenience Of Union depot In the
good time coming. The miles that sepa-
| rate the present passenger depots Of the
| city have rendered the travelling public
largely dependent upon transfer lines,
and that want Is most admirably sup
] Piled by the firm above named, whose
omnibusses make passenger and baggage
transfer between depots rs safe and GER
tain MS Is practicable. Their big buses are
one Of the institutions Of the city. max
ing the rounds Of the principal hotels
| for train connections and transferring
passengers from one railway to another
with the regularity of clock work. They
also maintain first-class livery stable,
| keep an excellent stock OF omnibus. cab,
carriage and saddle horses, careful and
intelligent drivers, and lay themselves
out for the accommodation OF the travel
ing public. AS underwriters and funeral
directors they will always be found

ALAMO IRON WORKS.
This manufacturing industry was es-
tablished In 1876 by Schuehle & Nixon,
and two years later passed into the hands
OF the present managers, George Holm
green & Sons. The former works
were on Presa street, but
removal was made to their
new buildings on the Sunset road, near
East Commerce street, where they do n
general foundry and maohinlsts busi-
ness. Manufacturing Industries are so
much needed In San Antonio that ii af-
fords us genuine pleasure and satisfac-
tion to note the sure indications of pros
perty that have attended the Alamo
Iron Works since their foundation. They
give special attention to mill repairs,
gin press and gin machinery, and supply
n verltable want to the planters and mill
owners OF this part Of the State. The
gentlemen who compose the firm,
Messrs. George, j. II. and Il. A. Holm
green, are practical men Of business and
a decided acquisition to the Industries
and trade OF this growing city.
TIE NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE.
Sewing machines came In with Yankee
invention, but they have come to stay,
and only cease to be In use when women
go out of fashion. Among the many inn
provements upon the original sewer, the

and sure sewer and as nearly perfect rs
