DAILY LIGHT: One of the most en-
joyable society events of the season
was the grand ball in Market hall
which occurred on Tuesday evening
last, it being the fourth anniversary
of the Casino Laredo. The decora-
tons of the hall far surpassed any
previous effort, and the members OF the
club eXerted themselves to make the
time pass pleasantly for their guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bartell led the grand
march, in which about 100 couples
participated. At 1890 light refresh
ments were served and the dancing
then continued until after 3 a. m.
With each succeeding year the Casino
Laredo evidences a good and healthy
growth and is one of those OrganiZa-
tons which draws all of our social re-
lations more closely together.

Beulah, of Corpus Christi, are guests

Laredo is fast becoming a trade GEN.
ter for a vast country tributary to
her limits, our merchants report
the condition of the market on all
commodities as strong and healthy.
Activity in real estate still continues.
The building boom is on. Travel to
Mexico increasing day by day, and
with miles of freight being moved
daily on our transfer tracks it might
be well to casually remark that the
procession has started at a pretty
rapid gait, and like unto our republi-
can friends when they go cunning,
we have solid foundation on which
to build, and a few years will see
Laredo the largest and most import
ant city on the Rio Grande.
