A Pointer on the Fair.

1t Is authoritatively stated that Dallas
realized over Sl,500,U00 by the recent
fair, and that the Women's Home, Buck
ner's Orphanage and the Congregational
church received $4,000 for lunches. In
fact everything has succeeded so we'll
that Dallas is now figuring on a national
fair for next year. Is there any one in
San Antonio that believes that what
Dallas has done we cannot do? All 1t
requires is a good start, gritty manage
ment and a good pull all together, and
all will receive the benefits of well d.
rected enterprise in that direction.

Ell PAso calls for rounding up OF the
tramps on the public streets of that city
and their employment in making those
same streets more presentable. The
idea might be extended. With the ap-
proaoh Of winter the great army of
tramps moves southwark. Why not levy
shoe tax on them and give them board
and lodging at public expense while
they work out tramp tax on the streets.
San Antonio might employ score or
two to the improvement of the thor
oughfares and alleys about town. The
tramps are here. and 1t is work or steal.
II the city supplies them with work on
their arrival, and cares for them so long
as they remain, there will be less danger
o. winter burglars than at present.

Winter Comforts and Clothing.

The chilly blasts and cold nOrthers
generally create more or less discomfort
caused by the wants Of proper means to
keep warm. Almost anyone can now
avoid this and possess him or herself
by a proper supply Of warmth giving
clothing by calling at WOlfson's world
bazaar, and select, according to taste,
and at prices that biggar description.
The knit goods department has been re-
ceiving special attention, and care has
been taken to select the various styles
and patterns with special reference to
this section OF the country. Wraps with
and without hoods connected, or the lat
ter single in all the hues and cOlOrs from
white, blue, pink, ETC., to the more So
Der and darker shades. An immense line
of jerseys, PLAIN, ornamental,and in fact,
all styles have just been unpaoked ready
to choose from and at the very lowest
rates heretofore unheard OF. These
goods recommend themselves to ladies
as special bargains at this season Of the
year, hence, it is not saying too much,
when in addition to the tbrong OF con-
slant visitors ten thousand more ladies
can be accommodated with everything
needed for the winter.
