In 1855, 10 OOO bales For 1885 Flores
vile handled only 1900 bales, but this
year will surely handle fully twO-thirds
OF the country product, besides a fair
product from adjacent counties.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
Railway own 500 town lots in radius
Of one mile Of the court house, which
they should put up ard sell ri auction
even il they bring only 81 each. / h"
enterprising way to build up town
and county is to interest people and
locate them in a community you desire
TO build up. Let the newcomer in en-
the ground floor" and give him 8
chance TO make something for
preaching up your advantages. Play
ing hog and wanting to make
a fortune out of the first Immi
grant won't build up Texas town.
The State is too large, and cheap land is
too abundant.
Messrs. Martin & Schryyer. OF San
Antonio, own 30 OF the choicest resi-
dence lots from three 10 ten blocks Of
the Court House, TO whom the same al.
wise is given as to the railway and the
land owners of FiCresville. Sell them,
if possible. to ~ different people, and
some Of the purchasers will be sue to

WHAT IT NEEDS.
The town offers special inducements
for an enterprising and honorable man
with capital for Il small bank; about
100000 in exchange handled last year.
which will more than double this year,
and can be worked up TO handsome lit
tie business by adding discounts and
speculations in land. In the past, pur-
Chases of hides, cotton, live stock, etc.
have been paid for by checks on San
Antonio at a great inconvenience to the
sellers. This is a fine opening for some
one of our young banking boys of San
Antonio with small capital and SUM-
Gent confidence, courage and check to
tackle the battles of business life for
himself.
One or two of our lively hack boys,
with sufficient consideration for
good living and gradual increasing bust

with the city, and might some day be
an important member Of the future City
Council.
The town needs Il good baker.
a merchant tailor can make COM
Portable living.
One or two small dairy men, with a
half dozen good milk cows can DO well
supplying the town with milk and but

A Touring mill on a small scale can
make living and gradually build up
good business.
This is local option town, bat the
boys need some innocent amusement.
and a billiard parlor, conducted by
gentleman in connection with Il stock Of
cigars and tobacco, might do a lair busi-
ness.
The greatest need of the town aud
surrounding country is one thousand in
dustrious small farmers and two hun
dred intelligent small fruit farmers to
make specially of grapes, straw berries,
blackberries, raspberries, etc, to supply
the San Antonio, Houston, Galveston
and Austin markets.
Some Of our idle San Antonio capital
can put several thousand dollars into
building houses and rent same to goOd
advantage and profit.
Among the most prominent citizens
of Floresville we find Judge J.. 5. Law
hon and Captain j. B. Policy, as law
yeTs and real estate agents, who are
active and enterprising to fault, and
nrnnosa If we have any npyy cnmers
ahopt San Antnnio with small canitaI
to whom our large land owners can't
sell big tracts of land, TO forward them
to FlOresville and Wilson County, for
they are Just the kind of immigrants
they want: industrious families that will
take small tracts of from ) TO - acres
and put same under a high order OF cul-
tiyatlOn. TO all of such Wilson Comfy

The live, pushing and go-ahead clti-
zen of this county is Colonel Sidney
Mead, of Floresville, a New Yorker by
birth, who located in this county in 1876
under the enthusiastic belief that sooner
or later the section would be con-
nected with San Antonio by gulf rail-
way, at which time lands would come
into market at good prices. he estab-
ltshed himself on an attractive and ro-
mantle tract ofland of 400 acres, one and
a half miles north of Floresville, on the
San Antonio river, which he proceeded to
put ander substantial cultivation an ! i'm
