ONE OF THE KICKERS.
His Opinions Upon the Building of
the New Court House.
Helotes P. 0. Bexar Co. Oct. 21887.
Editor Light:
In an official utterance tbe other day
was made the following rvmark: “Shame
Shame! The people are taxed to death
and tbe county experiments in building
courthouses. These exclamations are
applicable tor Bexar. Only a few years
since the present courthouse was re-
built—it answered every purpose. It
lacks but a few alterations (already pro-
posed) to admit plenty of fresh air into
tbe court room simply by en-
larging the upper windows add-
ing one or more new ones. Perforate the
balustrade of the gallery. The upper
high roofs on east and outside of said
ball leveled down for gravel roofs to
admit freely the sun-light so essential to
court and counsels in discerning a truth-
ful justice and perfect rights for self
edification as well as to instruct tbe
audiences present.
These stated Improvements of the
courtroom can be accomplished by a
few thousand dollars expenses and sat-
isfaction secured.
But these windows must also be open-
ed during bot weather as to allow the
cooling air to come in. Not as It was
observed with Mr. B. and myself
during a bot June day in open court
when all windows were closed up.
Then the cry is raised : “Too hot too
hot!” As the present year’s drouth Im-
poverished the people to such an extent
that the majority of them cannot pay
their taxes on an assessment rated al-
ready two-thlrds too higb.so that econo-
my has to rule over the whole coun-
try. K.

We Are Ready.
As will be seen on inspection tbe
bouse of 8. Mayer is stocked full of an
elegant array of fashionable dress goods
In all tbe latest tints designs and fan-
cies. Mr. and Mrs. Mayer while In tbe
east let no cbance escape them to pro-
cure tbe best and choicest dress goods.
Counters and shelves show their efforts
and tastes were more than usually cred-
itable. At tbe same time though ex-
pecting to realize quickly on their large
purchases they were not slow in appre-
ciating the stringency of tbe times and
therefore they “screwed” down prices
far below what would be a fair value for
the goods. Look at tbeir all wool 44-
ineb Scotch tweeds 62c a yard; all wool
double width serge 37c a yard; double
width French diagonals all wool 48c
per yard. And when you are in town
call on 8. Mayer and see tbe tine etfocts
in velvet combinations and special dress
patterns and if you want anything he
will sell it to you right.
Fall and Winter.
We now bring to the notice of tbe
public tbat Mr. 8. Mayer is ready to
show the very choicest lines of light fall
wraps. For the most part they are very
short—on tbe style of a bodice mantle —
beavily beaded and lilnsbed off in a va-
riety of fine lace and bugle trimming.
Just the thing for moderate weather
while tbere la nothing adds so much to
full dress as one of these pretty gar-
ments. Prices range from $4 to $25 and
we consider them very reasonable oae
and all. _
See Our Millinery.
Monday morning Mrs. S. Mayer will
place upon exhibition a very choice se-
lection of patterns and eastern made
hats and bonnets. As usual Mrs Mayer

and manufacturers in bargaining and
selecting her stock. Tbe result cannot
be doubted. Tbe lady has tbe reputa-
tion of long experience and good taste
and she will not disappoint her patrons
this season either in style or price. Mrs.
Mayer will probably announce her open-
ing day later on when all her stock
Is in.
3000 Handkerchiefs.
During the past week tbere was work
