Stroll through most any part of
the city, and on every side you
will see evidence of the thrift of
its inhabitants. They have an eye
for the beautiful. They not only
know how to make money but
know how to spend it. More than
their shops and warehouses, they
love their homes. 1t would be diff
ficult for man or woman to find
pleasanter place to live than San
Angelo. The people are refined,
moral and law-abiding and COM
bine with enterprise a spirit of
generosity and hospitality which
strangers seldom find elsewhere.
This is a grand community in
The San Angelo press. (San Angelo, Tex.) 1897-1907, 1902-08-06

of the city:
There are three banks, carrying
aggregate deposits approximating
81 ,000,000 and over. These banks
are all reliable and enjoy unlim-
tied public confidence among the
business communities. 1t can be
safely asserted that the banks are
the mainstay and support of the
commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the city and country and
have contributed largely towards
the great success achieved by this
country. While they have been
liberal and progressive, yet they
are careful and conservative in
every detail of their operations,
rendering assistance only to that
which is healthy, promising and
Legitimate. 1t is this admirable
feature of banking that has made
them so deservedly popular in the
financial and business circles.
The courthouse is u magnificent
structure, built of gray limestone,
and cost $S5, 900.
The county Jail, for the accom-
mediation of those to whom liber-
ty may become a burden, is sub
stantial building, larger than is
likely to be needed in so moral q
community.
There are no institutions more
worthy of appreciation and love by
the city than the churches in its
midst. They are identified with
its earliest history, and represent
ing all the different denomina-
tions.
The fire department is we'll
equipped and ably managed, and
is considered as fine II volunteer
company as can be found in the
State.
The secret societies are well rep
resented, and have nicely furnish
ed lodge rooms.
The public school facilities can
not be surpassed in any town of it's
size throughout the State. They
are thoroughly graded and are con-
Quoted upon the latest improved
methods, with buildings erected at
a cost of $4,000. In addition to
the free schools there are several
private institutions of learning.
The city has splendid system

which to make home, especially

Good free schools are here, and the
influences of the church and NOR
al society are felt on every hand.
These representations are not
colored, but are actual facts. What
the city and county most needs is
the "home-seeker," the manufac-
turer and the investigating capt.
talist. For this class of immigra-
ton there are golden opportuni-
ties, and advantages unsurpassed.

We can safely assure you that
the Concho country will compare

The Turner'S gymnasium of San
Angelo is one of the finest of its
kind in Texas. 1t is fitted up with
all the latest improved apparatus.
The intention of the society is to
make the gymnasium model, Sec
ond to none in the State. This is
quite an addition to San Angelo,
and an institution Of which the
citizens should be proud. 1t cost
81 900, and has a membership of
$50.
Years of experience has demon
strated what this country is adapt
ed to, and it is now in position
to offer the farmer and stockrais-
er advantages that can not be du-
plicated. All that is necessary is
for one to come and see for him
self Good order and the utmost
good feeling and good fellowship
consistent with law and order is
the rule. Any citizen will take
pleasure in answering any inquir-
les.
One of the best evidences of the
culture of the community is the
appearance of its business houses.
But the character of San Angelo

10000, and has an area of 800
square miles. Improved lands
are valued at from SIS to $15 per
acre; unimproved from $3.50 to
$40. Almost all classes of soil
can be found here, but the valleys
and prairies have their richness
of production in a soft loan, vary
ing in color from reddish choco-
late to black. This soil is from
3 to 20 feet in depth, and is very
fertile.
About one-third of the county
is timbered land, including the
following varieties: post oak,
black jack, mesquite, Spanish oak
and pecans, and the many streams
making the Concho system, are
especially noted for the purity of
their waters, and for the beauty
of their banks, lined as they are
for miles with the dark foliage of
the pecan trees.
The county has large and mag
nificent buildings, many hand
some iron highway bridges, and
various numbers of farmers who
have their private irrigation who
meeting with an abundant of
success in raising a variety of
products, besides the county has
as good roads as can be found in
the United Sta tes and with tax
able wealth exceeding "a, 753,6 77,
consequently the percentage rate
of taxation is very light.
Tom Green county and the
great Concho country was classed
among the strictly stock-raising
portion of Texas. But during
the past five years all classes of
agricultural pursuits have come
into vogue. 1t is true that the
rainfall in this part of the state
is not as great as in other portions
of Texas located at a lower alti-
tude. But the soil here seems to
be of such q nature as to adapt
itself to the climatic conditions
and produce crops with less
moisture than is needed in the
eastern portion of the state, which
produces abundantly in cotton,
oats, milomaize, alfalfa, sorghum
wheat, rye, barley, millet, peaches
pears, plums and vegetables.

We can only mention in brief a
few of the other enterprises.

that the balmy ozone of the Con-

health than the resorts named.
The atmosphere is dry and brac-
ing without being severe in winter,
and is especially beneficial to those
suffering from throat and lung
troubles. The Concho country is
above the malarial belt, and pull
monary diseases and fevers do not
originate here. Yellow fever and
the coast diseases are unknown,
and no fatal epidemic has ever
visited this section of the State.
The world is waking up to the

HOOK HEARS DEMING.
Famous Federal Case May Go to
Supreme Court.

The case of Peter K. Deming the man
who is confined in the federal prison at
I.eavenworth for embezzlement while in
charge of the commissary department
of a New York regiment of volunteers
at San Francisco during the Philippine
trouble. will undoubtedly be carried to
the United States supreme court for a
decision upon the conStitutionality of
the proceeding through which he was
imprisoned.
Deming through his attorneys, At
wood & Hooper, contend that the court
martial at which he was convicted was
illegal, for the reason that he was a
volunteer and that he was courtmar-
tailed by officers of the regular army.
He does not deny the embezzlement. The
case is considered one of Importance, as
there are from forty to fifty prisoners
in various federal prisons in the United
States who were convicted and inn
priSoned in identieaily the same man
ner as Deming. The case was first
taken to the appellate court at st.
Louis, where the contention made by
Deming was sustained and the decision
of the court martial reversed. The case
will have a hearing before Judge w. C..
Hook this afternoon and will in all
probability be carried to the supreme
court for a decision upon the constitu-
tionality of the proceeding Gen. Enoch

prolonged illness, William Hoey, for
many years general superintendent of
the Adams Express company, shot and

the floor of his room. The bullets,
which We're from revolver, had pene-

Mr. Hoey was the son of the late Mrs.
John Hoey and her first husband, Will
lam Russell John Hoey, who was one
of the founders of the Adams Express

partments of the business, working his
