Notice to the Public.

DEAR FRIENDs-Having been the re.
cipient Of your patronage for five sessions
in private school, conducted In the
church edifioe of st. Paul's NJ. Z. church,
| now tender you this card of thanks as
a token OF my sincere appreciation. As
l retire from said school after procuring
for you man Of ability, experience,
tact and excellent qualifications, thank
you respectively for the confidence thus
imposed in me, and sincerely trust shall
ever live deserving the same. We opened
this school on the first day OF September
with IL of my old students; the number
increased to 20 by the Sth, at which time
/ turned the same over to Professor G.
Ii. Temple, with all unpaid accounts for
this session. When paid he will duly re-
ceipt them. Prof. Temple is 30 years of
age, was born at Reading, Pa. He
graduated at Reading academy in 1879,
and entered the New England Conser-
vatOry of Music at Boston, Mass, from
which he graduated In 1881. He taught
music in New York City one year, taught
school in Arkansas and Mississippi, and
was musical director in Philander Smith
college, at Little Rock, Ark. Hehaving
received applications to come to Goliad
Texas, the late storm preceded him to
that place and demolished the school
house. DR.. Starnes and | caused him to
come to our city. The school now num-
bers 30 students. We bespeak for him
much success and trust parents who de-
sire to have their children thoroughly
trained will not fail to avail themselves
Of the advantages here offered. We be-
lieve the educational force now at work
in our city will find in the person Of
Professor Temple worthy accession and
an earnest colaborer. He will teach
music, both vocal and Instrumental, on
piano and organ. l am yours, respect
fully, MACK HENSON.

Common sense and sound judgment
dictate that the streets which cOnsti-
tute the main thoroughfares of business
should be first improved by the "City
fathers" and next the streets of second
rate importance to the general public
should be put in good condition. This
common. sense rule has been disre-
garded by the mayor and council, and
streets OF little or no Importance have
been improved Al very heavy expense.
GOliad street is of far less importance
than Alamo and Presa streets, yet
thousands of dollars have been expended
upon it. The same is true of avenue
d. The main thOrOughfares should be
improved first, that is the dictate of
