AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, 7, 1888.

The Pssrsall.News shows its appre-
citation Of the hospitality OfSan Antonio
during the late convention in the follow
ing editorial utterauees in its issue Of
last Saturday:
"San Antonio treated the delegates
right royalty and was liberal even be-
yond expectations. A committee was
appointed TO meet the delegates at the
various depots and furnish them with
carriages TO convey them to the hotel Ci
their choice. Wednesday night was
one that was enjoyed by all, al informal
gathering at the Casino hall, where
cigars and wines and more substantial
viands were supplied by the hospitable
citizens Of the Alamo City. Thursday
afternoon carriages were furnished that
the delegates might see the principal
points OF interest In the city, and were
also taken to the government depot and
given an opportunity to witness the
drilling. All who attended the cOnven-
tion as delegates were loud In their
praise of the manner In which San An
tonic had treated them and carried
home pleasing recollections that will
last for years"
So far as San Antonio is concerned II
the convention has done no more, is has
naturally strengthened the bonds OF
good will between the city and all
southwest Texas. No small result In
itself.

Editor LIGHT:
The Mississippi has now been rising

warmoth is in favor Of protective
tariff, and is a champion OF retaining the
duty on sugar. Out Of the 5S par
ishes in the state, at least
fOrty-five are republican, so that with
fair election and an honest count Of the
votes deposited In the ballot box, the
republicans stand good chance OF
carrying the state In April and also In
November. Gov. McEnery declared
that there should be q perfectly fair cleo
ton, and as he wss defeated for the
democratic nomination for governor at
ter very bitter contest, he is not like
ly TO use fraud and bulldoziDg 10 order to
elect his successful competitor. 1t is
thought that many OF the McEnery fac

reputation of Hostetters Stomach Btters by
persons who seek TO palm off cheap and fiery

pure, wholesome and thorough medicine,
adapted TO the total cure and prevention of
fever and ague, bilious remittent, dyspepsia,
constipation, billiousness, debility, nervous

unlike those in the limitations of it, is of an

iniuriously upon the brain and nervous sys.

TEXAS is not very likely to sell many
young cattle to the Colorado and Mon
tana raDchers this spring. The losses
upon the ranges there have been too
heavy for the past two or three years
and csttlemen have not the money at
command. Texas will need to fatten
her own cattle and send them to market
In good condition. She should have no
difficulty In doing so this year and there
is q healthy activity about the market
with buoysnt tendency which sugurs
well for the csttleman who puts his beef
upon the market In prime condition
There may be other states than Texas
that will stand at the foot of the ladder
this season, while the Lone Star state
takes long stride In advance.

carried on in the building on the corner of

business in the twO-stOry house on the north
east corner of Military plaza. Mr.. Dullnig,
owing TO fair and liberal dealings with his GUS
toners, has been forced by a constant pres
sure of space, TO enlarge his stock and seek
for a more rOOmy house. When LIGHT rep
resentative called at the new quarters he
found Mr.. Dullnig and his assistants busiy
employed in waiting upon customers. The
renovation has been made so complete that IL
is quite surprise TO see and admire the ar
engagements Of the new store.
Mr.. Dullnig invites all his old friends and
patrons I'm the city and country, as well as the
public generally, to call on him and become
convinced that his prices will compare favor
ably with any in the city.
In addition to a fine and well selected stock
Of general staples, he will constantly keep on
hand a full and complete assortment Of fancy
goods of all kinds, while his connection with
the surrounding country people and farmers
generally, will enable him 20 keep a full and
