Mr.. Greer told THE HEPALD man
that he wrote his wife that every
day was Sunday here, with two
or three Christmases or Fourths of
July thrown in for good measure
each week, and he was having the
best time of his life. He visited
Matamoros several times during
his stay, and saw that city both by
day light and gaslight and found
many things to attract, Every
thing was so Delightfully."- new to him,
he said, that his stay was not half
long enough, and he left with
full determination to come again
and stay longer.
