San Antonio is well provided
with first-class grocery establish
ments and she owes no small share
of her commercial Importance to
this circumstance. An exceeding
ly popular representative in this
line is Mr.. Mic Peters, who years
ago founded the business upon a
small scale and by the honesty
and faith of it's merits has built up
large and far reaching patronage
which is not exceeded by any SINH
lar house in the city. The store
in it's entirety is an eminently well
conducted one and reflects great
credit upon it's well known and
popular proprietor. The stock
consists of very large collection
of choice staple and fancy groceries,
too numerous to enumerate. A
large feed, hay and grain business
is conducted. A large corps of pO-
lite clerks are always in attend
ance. Mr.. Peters scarcely needs
an introduction to our people. He
is one of our popular and solid citi-
zens who has built up his business

ANTON HANNICH,
2lO ELM ST.

For forty years has this gentle
man resided in San Antonio. He
came here in 1858, and began his
business at once. In 1860 he
founded his present business, thus
making it the oldest carriage shop
in the South. From a small be-
ginning Mr.. Hannich has built up
his business to it's present large
proportions. No man in this sec
ton understands the art of car
riage painting better than he does,
his speciality being fine work at
living prices. He enjoys a large
patronage, and is assisted in his
work by his son, Mr.. Anton Han
mich, Jr., who demonstrates that
he is a chip of the old block by his
adaptibility to the work. Mr..
Hannich is one of our solid bust
ness men, property owner and an
AL mechanic and artist. His large
establishment is situated at 210
Elm street.

The observer of San AntOniO'S
commercial resources cannot fail
to notice the establishment at 3O7
West Commerce street, presided
over by Mr.. w. f. Roach, the pop
ular bicyclist. This house carries
all the best makes of bicycles, and
sells them at popular prices. In
these modern times man wants the
newest and latest, and he certainly
can get it by calling upon this gen
tleman and seeing for himself. In
addition to his stock of bicycles
Mr.. Roach deals in all kinds of BIZ
cycle supplies, and does all kinds
of repairing with neatness and dis
patch. He established his bust
ness some three years ago, and
thoroughly understands his bust
ness, being acquainted with every
detail, no matter how minute.
Those contemplating the purchase
of a "wheep will do well to con-
suit him before going elsewhere.
If you live at a distance write for a
catalogue. Mr.. Roach is an enter
prising citizen, and is closely iden-
titled with the growth and adj
vancement of the cycling interests
of San Antonio.

The new SOUTH.
The Coming Commercial Mecca of
the United States.
Capital and Labor Now Turned
Southward-We shall Domi-
nate the World in a Quar-
ter of a Century.

1t matters not what political
party is at the helm of the national
government, the south will not
suffer in her commercial affairs.
Owing to the fact that a depres.
sion of business in this section
would retard the progress of the
north, that, of course, would dis
please the noneyed gods of the
country, and according to the mod
ern politics, their wrath is terrible
and mus be feared, and through
fear respected. Outside of politi-
clans and their organs, the south
is bothering herself but little about
what party rules the nation, so
long as they can control their home
affairs, and this she will do, unless
serious change takes place that
would overthrow the WI ole country
into desperate revolution. This,
no section of the Union can afford
and tor this reason we have no
cause to fear that the republican
party will enact any laws that
would be detrimental to our inter
ests, in business way at least.
The south is able and will take care
of herself, both politically and com
mercially; and from the daily re
ports of new cotton, wooden, and
dozens of other kinds of factories
that are constantly springing up,
from Virginia to the Rio Grande,
we can see that the people mean
business, and do not seek political
stri e. Both capital and labor are
now turned southwark, while Our
own people are constantly organic
ing joint stock companies, under
the cooperative and installment
plan, which are; enabling every
workingman to become a stock
b .lder in some paying enterprise;
and as there never was a people SO
thoroughly awakened to their own
interest, and more willing to help
in the advancing of their own
country we may not be surprised
in the future at whatever may hap
pen to make this country the
grandest and most glorious country
on Gods green earth.

which rang out their call to worship |
in the beautiful village from which
we came.to make Wisconsin our home,
and ever since there is q fascination
to me in the sound Of church: bells.
Their music was denied the primitive
settler, and I noted the silence, but,
with increase Of population and pros
perity the "iron-tongued monitor"
again greeted the ears of the worship
or. It was with great joy and sacred
recollections that, I heard the first
tones of a bell on one Of our churches.
1t brought back the hours when we
we're in our eastern home with broth
ers and sisters, all under one roof.
Ours was beautiful village and not
ed for its shade trees. The picture
came back to me, and could see the
walks, the home, the church, and the
faces of the different pastors who had
spoken to us from the pulpit, as plain
ly as though they were before me. 1t
brought back the time when, one ev-
ening after service in OUT. church I
went home, after talk with the min
lister, went into my closet determined
to live no longer selfish life but dedi-
cate it to God, remaining for hours
alone with Him, and coming out with
peace resting upon me that the world
cannot give, with new purposes in my
heart, new views Of all that pertained
to the inner life. All this, and much
more that I cannot mention came to
me, when, after the silence, the first
tone of the church bell fell on my ear,
and now, on the Sabbath morning
when we are vending our way towards
Gods house in response to the call of
the music from the belfry, in unison
with that of our hearts, I look at the
throngs.coming from every direction
and ask "What does this mean?" The
answer comes, ut means worship"
1t is sometimes said, "Let the past
be past" Yes, let the sad, the sor-
rowful past be past, but let the beau
tiful past be recalled to create new
zeal for God and humanity, and to
shed it's radiance over the pathway
we are now treading. You and I are
now building for others, and among
them we number our children. We.
do not realize the deep impression
passing events make upon them. 1t
is worth while to make for them
pleasant memories. not only pleasant
but sacred memories which shall in
tertwine golden thread through all
the web of their future lives.
You cannot mistake in giving the
children church bell which, by it's
associations, will speak to them after
they have stepped over-as have
on the sunset side of life's journey.
