met by Mayor Harrison Tone and
Others.
A stop of an hour was made, the
party visiting the stores or the prin.

citizens in excellent spirits and quite
jubilant over the prospect for $780,

northern people. This investment is

which will employ several hundred
hands, which of course will necessitate
the builiing Of several hundred

to where our car, home and hotel, had
been switched from the /. & G. n. ;,
depot. After bidding good bye to
some friends that visited us at the car,
the train moved out of the station
headed for Eagle Pass. Before leay-
ing Texas we would like &c say few
words for San Antonio. The climate
there is elegant, and quite resort for
consumptives. Many of our party
not having been so far south
before were somewhat surprised
and seemed greatly interested In the

After leaving San Antonio, dinner
was soon announced and amidst num-

rated the dining table, we were all |
seated and thoroughly enjoyed our re-

San Antonio exceedingly, the unani-
NOUS decision being that San Antonio
is beautiful city. Midnight we
arrived at Eagle Pass our
