One of our boys says that he breads the erd-
mindtiOn of the C. L. s. C. Does he not know
that while thOrOughness of work is desired, and
while the home circle provides a university
course with rigid examinations for those who are
qualified to attempt it. that the C. l.. S. C. does
not require any examination y whatever? 1t
requires the reading of certain books, and the
statement to the central office that they have
been read. 1t also desires the filling out of GER
tain memoranda which are not in any sense eX-
animation papers. Let us encourage the fearful,
that they may join the Pierian circle, prosecute
the readings. catch the inspiration. receive the

to read the appointed books!

AT RiSche's theatre last night, about
Seventy-fve citizens of San Antonio as
sembled, composed of Mexicans, working

was had. The first business TO be trans
acted was the election of officers, which
resulted as follows: President, L. Lopez;
vice president, Patterson: secretary, Z. C.

1t was decided TO name the organization

The president made few brief remarks,
suggesting that MrJoe Beckmann be the
next candidate for mayor. telling the CON
ventiOn that he had interviewed Mr..
Bee KIN ann on the subject, and that his
reply was that ne would accept the nom
ination, if it be the will of the popular
mass convention, which will be held in
the near future. Mr.. Ferris made a mo-
tiOn To the effect that Mr.. Beckmann be
recommended by the club for the office of
mayor, subject to the decision of the com.
ing mass meeting and that ne announces
himself candidate for the office, in the
daily papers. Several members of the

T. G. Frost, Banker.

San Antonio is well favored with reli-
able banking institutions hut it is doubt
full il any of them enjoy the confidence of
large number of people in southwest
Texas, than the well known citizen whose
name heads this article. He is known far
and near as a safe, conservative and bust
ness man.
Col. Frost is one of the pioneers of the
city, having commenced business here
about 25 years ago, opening a retail div
goods store, in a small building where his
fine bank now stands on Main Plaza. BY
strict integrity, fair liberal dealings. and
close a attention to business it was only a
few years until his business assumed such
dimensions, that it extended to all the
adjoining counties.
AS his trade demanded, he in
creased the size of his store, and
as he dealt largely in wool and
county produce also, he built a large
storage warehouse on Acequia street for
the accommodation of his wool trade.
This business in this line increasing and
his circle OF acquaintance and patrons
growing larger year by year, he decided
few years ago TO open private bank for
the accommodation of his customers.
This he did in a modest way setting aside
Iortion OF his dry goods store for that
purpose. Succeeding even beyond his
expectations in the banking business, it
SOOu DeCdLle apparent IndJ lie must nave
more room, so he decided to go entirely
out OF the dry goods business, and devote
his entire time to his banking and other
interests. The bank now covers the en-
tire lower floor of his bank building. which
is elegantly and comfortably fitted up for
the large force of officers, clerks and &C.
countantS employed. The bank trans
acts general banking business.
Perhaps the key TO the secret of Col
FrOsts success in business was given in
adVertantly TO. a representative of the
LIGHT today when in conversation he
said: Il have customers who dealt with
, me when | first went into business. and |
have customers whose parents bought
clothing from me when they were lit
tile children" This speaks volumes! They
have the utmost confidence in the man
and his business methods.
Being always firm believer in San
Antonio and her growth and prosperity,
he has also invested large sums from time
to time in realty until he owns, the
whole of the block on which the bank
stands, a good portion of the block imme-
diatelY north of it, besides large amount
ofproperty in other portions of the city.
Owing to private interests the Banking
firm of Thornton, Wright & Co., have
recently retired from business transferring
their accounts to the bank Of L. c. Frost.
The individual members of the firm as
well as their immediate relatives and
close friends will place their accounts
with him, and it is safe to say they could
not be in better hands.
Col. Frost wishes to assure all patrons
of the firm of Wright, Thornton & Co.,
that he will take pleasure in aCcOmOdat-
ing them in every way possible ard will
guard their interests entrusted to him the
same as if they were his own.
