ATTEND TIE ENcAMPMENT.

The citizens of San Antonio owe it
to themselves and to the militia of
the state, now their guests, to.,make
the soldier boys feel at home. This
cannot be done by keeping aloof from
the grounds or by main tanning a
frigid reserve while there. The COM
panies from all over Texas are your
guests; they are here in your city by
your personal invitation, and have a
right to expect every attention atyour
hands. They will look for your pres
epceand the inspiration Of your words
of welcome and cheer in their daily
work, as well as in the social re-
unions arranged for them. Give en-
phasis and force to the oft repeated
expression, that San Antonio is the
most hospitable city in Texas. 1t
will do you good to leave the cares
of business and with your family and
friends visit the camp ground as fire.
quently as the circumstances per-
NIT. Every facility for dong go is
afforded by the perfect railway facil-
tiles afforded and you must hold your
self individually responsible for your
share of the entertainment promised.
1t is just as much necessity that
should give this drill countenace by
your presence and appreciation as by
your subscription to the encampment
funds. 1T will be a very pleasant
break to the daily monotony to visit
the boys in camp and form some idea,
even if faint, of a soldiers round of
daily drill. San ntonio's boys have
always received hearty welcome
wherever they have gone bearing the
banner of the Alamo City. Your turn
has come to respond to the courtesies

panies and the LIGHT looks for every
good citizen to do his duty. The
ladies will do theirs without asking.
THE Houston Post has whistled
brakes off on truth and is making
time, down grade, for the gulch of in
iecency. Not content with denounc-
ing Harrison, Safeguarding Wanna
maker, eursing Blaine and defaming
Reed, it turns its attention to the
union soldiers Of the country and in
suits them en- masse. 1t does this by
every union soldier is
pauper, unable to make his own liv-
ing and dependent upon the pensions
doled out by the government for SUBJ
sistence. The Post will deny this but
its denial will not avail The Post
says in it's issue of July /, that the
service pension bill and the depend
emit pension bill are practically the
same; that is that every union soldier
who would be included under SER
vice pension bill is included in this
pension bill. The Post
knows this assertion to be lie
or it does not. If it does not, it is too
ign GRANT for any purpose of instruc-
ton; if it does, then it is too venal
and dishonorable for any use, save as
the medium for circulating democrat
ic falsehoods. This gratuitous insult
to the hundreds of thousands of union
soldiers, who are making an honor
abble record in every department of

tailed upon the country by the treason
of the Post and its apologists, this in
suit will be remembered. 1t was I'M
called for, has no foundation in fact,
is wilful misststement, and the
LIGHT brands the Post with having
falsified the record and stultified

the nations defenders, whom the Post
has never forgiven for successfully re-
sisting the reasonable attempt to de-
stroy this republic.
