the following:
Good lands, good facilities, good
schools aud churches, with good
neighbors, are good ingredients of q
boom.
San Antone's got all these and the
boom as well. The LIGHT regrets to
observe that Editor Barlow left out
his usual very pretty essay on "Sweet
Violets," but he makes up on his
"New Year" article, on which he
spread himself az follows.
Life is but q span at best, a fleetin 2
shadow, which glides along to the
final, leaving but faint evidences OF
individuality, by the great majority.
Here and there, widely scatter ed the
dim water of time, we mark q grandly
prominent impression, which will
live for the good of our race is run,
but sll can at least leave behind them
q brig hit and cheering memory an ex-
ample of good, mite which will leave
the world better for our having lived
In it.
The editor of the Devine Wide
awake has been to the city and "seen
the elephants" and records this:
San Antonio has two elephants
the white and black,-both we'll
patronized.
He conducts an excellent country
paper, however, and like all thorough.
going newspaper men, knows a good
thing in his line when he sees 1t,
therefore the following:
The holiday edition of the San An
tonic Daily LIGHT is upon u table,
and We have no h~esitancy in pro-
nouncing 1t not only creditable to the
management of the paper, but equal
to any of the large dalies of larger
cities. 1t is an honor to the state
and reflects great credit upon the
arGists of san Antonio. The illustra-
tions and writeup of the Alamo City,
are both excellent, and will go far to-
wards giving our prosperous and de-
serving country a widespread name
for agricultural, educational and
healthful improvement, second to No
portion Of the habitable world. The
management deserve encouragement
for this enterprise.
There is no-rest Tor newspaper re-
marks and the wicked. The Beeville
Picayune editor writes:
The Picayune did not take Christ
mas, but 1t took o full report of the
news and heralded 1t to the world in
q twelve page edition. We will con-
tinue the twelve pages throughout
1S9l-prophesies to the o ntrary not
withstanding.
If the Plcayune doesn't succeed,
the blame will ue promptly placed in
basket and left On the front door
steps of his constituents, not his. But
he. won't fail; his Webster's dictionary
hasn't got the word in it.
The Corpus Christi Caller is
confident of the 70 of the
Ropes deep water scheme, and
while rejoicing thereat, gets
In front of the boom by making
continual improvement ;among many
other sensible things its last issue
said:
The holiday edition OF the San An
tonic Daily LIGHT has reached the
Caller. Its pages are numerous and
filed, and no doubt it has proven
a profitable investment, and a good
advertisement for southwest Texas.
The Ell Paso Tribune spits out it's
tobacco, and rises solemnly in meet
ing to remark:
Woman will be q success in the law
profession, as she cannot sit on the
small of her back with her feet OH a
high table and spit fifteen feet II

Tom Moore sang of the joys of love,
Byron of intoxication, DtQuincey of
the rhapsodical Authorizations OF
hop" but none of them ever knew
what life has in store for the favored
son of fortune who runs q five column
folio paper in a town of five hundred
people. The Junction City Clipper
man writes:
Ye Editor, JI. is under obligations
to Mr.. Carson for a box of nice cigars,
as q Chrirtmas present.
Ye editor are fixed" for the win
ter. We were presented with a "cus-
haw" on the Xmas tree.
With q sockless statesman like Bill
Pendleton presiding Owe the senate,
the lower house of the legislature has
an opportunity of shining in contrast
with that body by electing Jim
Browning speaker. The Fort Worth
Gazette thinks:
