purchased in this city package of Prof.
Horsford's Self Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted it to a chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed of pure
and nOn-pOisenOus chemicals.
The idea Of Prof. Horsford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread. and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered 10 the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.
can only join in the endorsement given by
the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.
Liebig, to this preparation in saying: 81 con-
slider this invention as one of the most useful
gifts which science has made TO mankind"

poses. The rain fall is abundant, only
somewhat uneVenly distributed, and
there are few seasons in which. under
good cultivation, abundant crops can
not be raised without resort to irrigs-
ton. The old system Of corn and cotton
raising, in which it was said, "If 1t rains
we will have crop anyway, and II IL
don't rain, there's no use in trying" has
passed away, and farmers have discoy-
cred that If they will pay less heed to
the clouds and cultivate their ground

The committee appointed on last
Monday evening to solicit subscriptions
in aid Of northwest railway extension
are hard at work endeavoring to secure
the amount required. The first report
of this committee will be made this
evening, as announced at the time the
committee was appointed. No more
important project has ever been sub
mitted to the citizens of this city; none
that more vitality concerns their in
terests. The magnificent showing made
by the southern line from here to Beeville
is an earnest of the volume of business
that will swell the receipts of this COM
pany as the extension is pushed still
farther and farther towards the north
west. In this present showing, and
that certain increase, lies the assurance
that these construction bonds, secured
by first mortgage upon the road, will
be good financial investment after the
first three years. All that the company
ask is a virtual donation OF three years
interest upon the $4,000 subscription
required by the citizens Of San Antonio
to put the matter under way and the
first seventy miles under contract. To-
day, the committee are upon their
rounds. San Antonio has accepted this
road as a necessity, has based her COM
mercial hopes upon its success, has
demonstrated by her ante-railwsy trade
the vast importance of the business
which will come to her along the line
now projected, and 1t is in her power
easily to put the wheels in motion for
recovering this now lost trade and in
creasing 1t four fold more that 1t for
merly was. There is no doubt Of the
Importance of the road to us as COM
mercial community. No doubt but that
the offer of the railway company is an
exceedingly liberal one; no doubt but
that the bonds will pay as an invest
ment; and, there should be no boubt of
the successful issue of the enterprise
when our citizens assemble in the court
house tonight to receive the report Of
their committee.
