To the San Antonio LIGHT:
A great many from here are going to
avail themselves of the five dollar trip to
New Orleans during the confederate re-
union. 1t is said this city will send or
700 delegates, and that number will be
Quadrupled by Others who merely desire
to take advantage OF the cheap rate TO
the Crescent city.
The white republicans organized club
in this place, Saturday afternoon. This
Club will join the republican league OF the
state. The republicans who have return
ed from FL PasO report that they had
glorious time and were royalty treated;
At a meeting of the city council the
other night, a petition was handed in. II
came from landlord. who stated that
one of the city's employees Cnaming the
parity owed him rent and would not pay.
The chair (Mr. Kline) refused 10 read the
the party who owed the debt.
The city dads are not IS particu-
lar as some firms are who will discharge
| an employe who can, but will not, par his
| debts. A man of our acquaintance, who
held hundred dollar position, threw up
| his job and took a place with another
1 firm for twenty-five dollars per month
less. rather than pay board bill of $50.
| When 1T comes 10 paying debts, Dallas
has some toughS. A party receiving SIS
| per month let merchants bill Of $50 run
| on from month TO month till more than q
year had passed Instead of paying his
| honest debts this far seeing and grasping
| financier was loaning his money az 12}s
per cent. In time the firm grew tired and
| demanded payment. Rather than gain
notoriety through law suit it was paid.
This party is now denied credit by the
firm. We have heard no one speak more
disparaging of the times than the above
named, whose salary is in no wise effect
ed by the Stringency of the times.
Rev. R. T. Hanks, who was pastor of
the First Baptist church of this place for
six years, preached parting sermon in
the new church Sunday night. TIE
church was full. His friends, would not
let him depart for his new tield-Abilene
without hearing him once more. But
would still be pastor here. Many of his
members will never forgive him for re-
signing his pastorate.
A. M. Young, from the country last
Saturday. He wanted to see the sights,
get glimpse of the scum. AT one that
night he left resort on Main street 10
go to his lodging place, three, blocks
| away. Somehow he lost his role, in all
Sl25. He now. reports his grievances 70
the police and is wiser and sadder and
a better man. Hereafter he will shun the
dive.
