mcnt. The third was the mammoth edition Of
the LIGHT, which for typographical beauty
and excellence of matter, stands first. The

the editions were excellent, and the people of

The san Antonio Daily LIGHT issued mann
moth paper on the I'D instant, of II pages,
filled with lifc-like illustrations of men, and
business houses, and a long and interesting
article on san Antonio as il was, and rs IL il.
The issue does credit to the publishers, and
shows the enterprise of its management. But
one thing about it we didn't like at all. The
saloons of San Antonio were described As lit
tie paradiseS on earth. They are openings
down into hell, gaudily bcdCcEed with every
thing that appeals TO the lower, sensual appc-
ttcs OF man. They "ntrap and ruin all who
20 in.

special edition of l. pages, or ~ columns, each

One page is devoted to Austin, and on that
page is II capital likeness of John T. BraCken-
ridge, candidate for governor, II biography of
W. X. Brown, of DIR. j. =. Breckenridge, Dave
Hunter, J. A. Jackson, and Others, and lengthy
notices of several of Austin's business firms
There is also a well-writtCn article on the city
of Austin. Taken all i'm all, this edition Is
ahead. II will attract much additional attcn-
ton to san Antonio.

the most tastefully and magnifCcntly gotten
up holiday edition we have seen, containing
T. pages and 81 columns OF reading matter, in

and Florida. The LIGHT is n tirst-class paper,
and the Chronicle would be pleased to receive
II regularly. The present issue ought to he
widely circulated. Such enterprise speaks
mmCh for IeNns lndustry Mnd adNnnccmnnl.
