Complains of Weeds.
Editor San Antonio LIGHT:

Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
SIR-In your issue OF last Thursday
you mention about the weeds growing
in the streets here. | wish you would
walk along East Commerce street and
see the fine weeds In the vacant lots OPP
posite Mr.. 6roos' house and elsewhere.
The smell from them at night Is simply
detestable, so no wonder illness Is rife
in this quarter. How such town as
this can be 80 neglected in this 10Th
century is wonderful, so no surprise
need be shown when strangers think us
not yet up to the acme Of civilization.
Respectfully,

The above is too rich to be lost. The
democrats of one of our largest counties,
in the west, get up on their ear and
rule all Mexicans out on the grounds of
not being familier with the English

the west follow suit?
VIII the Bexar county democracy take

Their attendance on the grounds Of not

THE WENSENGER.
Our Mite.

This is about the time of year that the
press and the farmer feel themselves
drawn together by mutual admiration.
and are a. thick as bcd-bugs in IA boar
ding house. The former profl,se in its
advice and the latter charge in its ac-
captance. Hence. the Messenger, though
no bigger than a bantam, feels lis i'm
pOrtance rs much as the next one, vO-
lunteers this unsolicited counsel:
"Imprimis," (this stands for firstly
seize upon everything that will aid your
work and advance your industries.
Secondly. don't cultivate your lands
with a view to get the most out of them
without any reference to the future, on
Iy to awake some fine morning to find
you are retrograding; but fertilize intel
ligently to keep them in the highest
state of fertility for all time.
Thirdly, the old ruts are worn out
new ideas and methods must be adopted.
FOurthly, better tillage is necessary.
Filthy and lastly, learn the economies
of the farm.
With this, you have the whole secret
of successful farming as demonstrated
by Mr.. Turman and others. We don't
charge anything for this advice, but if
you think it is worth the price of a years
subscription to this paper, we shall be
pleased to inscribe your name in our
book. We have. i'm our note book seve-
raj little gems similar to the above, that
we will give away during the current
year.

The Municipal Election.

Every qualified voter will soon be able
TO express his preference for five men,
bers 10 constitute Board of Trustees for
this town. TO serve for the ensuing
lear.
1t Is the duty Of every good citizen to
vote at that election and before depOsi-
ting his ballot, to inform himself what
measures and men he ought as good ci
tizen to support.
While party politics should not enter
into the choice of g od men, we very
much fear that such will be the case at
least on one side. But, We advise you, If
the party with which you affiliate. do not
nominate good men, it is your bOunden
duty, if you value the general veal, and
wish to set an example of true public
spirit 10 vote against such.

Pluck and Assimilation only
Needed.

It is not more foolish to expect four
wheeled vehicle to glide along smoothly
on three wheels than it is to expect com
mnnity tOfOllOw in the wake Of progress
when a cOterie Of its people are ready at
all times, to cry down or belittle all worthy
egorts made to place it in the line OF
prosperity. This unassimilative spint
Of which, we are to say, evidence is seen
right here have but partial cOncep-
ton of civic pride. has rendered to des-
troy the germs Of prosperity in more
than one town. 1t is not, as has been un-
told times demonstrated, the location of
a community that makes its prosperity.
but it is the pluck and pride of the people
living therein that make things hum.
We must-tO slightly paraphrase the
views of an exchange-either run town
with vim or expect general "dOnt-care
a-darn" all along the line. Runthe town
for all it is worth. get up steam and
keep it up. or let nature take its course.
Do you want a prosperous town Then
do away. bury from sight all jealOusies,
all spite work for common prosperity
and mutual benefit and before many
days have gone down in the gulp Of time
you will be surprised at the results.
