The convention meets in Austin on
tuesday,, the 12lh inst, and will continue
n session till Thursday afternoon. The
itizens of Anstin have arranged for a
rand supper and ball on Thursday even
ng to the members of the state associ-
ton. We believe the meeting will be a
lrge, enthusiastic and representative
1eeting. No stone has been left unturned
o have all the members present. The
tockmen of the southwestern portion of
he state have to face the fact that they
aust battle with all their united energy
nd strength to secure freedom and a
light which their more northerly situated
rethren enjoy by the fact of geographic
al position. Every stockman of the
outh and west must therefore be up and
ding, and from this point form a line.
he attendance IF all members at the
Justin convention is absolutely neces-
ity, and the issue of this convention must
e looked forward to by every stockman
n south and west Texas as all impor-
ant.
