There is no truth in the report that

lin will act as a “supply” tor vacant

Mr. Ruskin has written ah epilogue
of considerable length and importance
to be attached to the new edition of
“Modern Painters.”
American Paper the Best.
New York Press.
Not long since Mr. Tiffany said that
when he began business nearly all the
stationery he sold was imported. To-
day thanks to the tariff the finest
grades of paper are made at home and
imported stationery is the exception.
Amencan stationery is good enough
for the press and ought to be good
enough for the most exalted Ameri-
can. It is only Anglomaniacs and su-
perlative dudes who have more
money than brains who would im-
port their note paper. Meantime it
might be well to remember that
“English note” and “Irish linen” and
“Glasgow linen” are merely brands of
paper all of which are manufactured
in Holyoke and other famous paper
towns by good honest protected
American labor.
OUR HOLIDAY EDITION.
The Annual Holiday Edition of the Light
will make its appearance on th« 23rd of De-
cember and as usual will be filled with in-
teresting reading matter pertaining to local
and state as well as foreign matters. There
will be a carefully selected chronological
table of important events for the year
brought down to date of publication. The
covers will be artistically printed in colors
and its general make-up will be as it always
has been—the peer of anything published in
the state. This year the endeavor will be to
make it still a littte superior if possible to
all its predecessors. As not less than 10000
copies will be issued the Light’s Holiday
Edition for 1888 will present unusual ad-
vantages for advertisers and those who have
found it so satisfactory an advertising medi-
um in past years are respectfully requested
to hold orders for display ads and “write-
ups” until the Light representative calls
which will be in a very short time.

EXTREMES DO MEET.
While Wolfson’s leads the city In
ladies’ hats he has been equally at-
tentive to the comfort of their feet.
His ladies’ misses’ and children’s
shoes Philadelphia and Rochester
makes will be found equal to any-
thing ever offered in Texas and far
superior to most. The reputation of
these goods is well known to those
familiar with them and they will pur-
chase no other if they can get them.
They can get them at Wolfson's
where special attention has been paid
to children’s school shoes. For com-
fort and durability they surpass all
understanding.

DON'T SPOIL THAT HAT.
If you see your wife sister daugh-
ter mother son husband brother or
friend of either sex going out in this
uncertain season of the year without
a parasol or silk umbrella to keep the
rain from spoiling the fine hat or bon-
net they have just purchased at Wolf-
son’s do not let them do ft. Go to
Wolfson’s yourself and buy one of his
Lyon’s silk umbrellas the best in the
market warranted not to split and
you will save that hat or bonnet from
spoiling. These silk umbrellas make
the nicest kind of a Christmas present
and these parasols same material
are just as nice. Either one will do
but buy one or the other and save
the hat.
A Soecial Call.
The foilowing is the copy of a circu-
lar which was prepared and intended
to reach citizens generally in time for
the meeting referred to. Owing to a
delay in the addressing of same we
publish the call in order that all par-
ties feeling interested in the objects
designated may attend the meeting
tonight:
san Antonio December 14 1888.
Dear Sir:—You are earnestly re-
quested to attend a meeting at the
rooms of the Immigration society in
Menger hotel building on Monday
17th inst. at 8 o’clock p. m. for the
purpose of devising the best means of
securing an extension of the San An-
tonio and Aransas Pass railroad to
Fredericksburg and Llano. The im-
portance to San Antonio of the agri-
cultural mineral and commercial re-
sources of all those counties lying to
the northwest of this city cannot be
overestimated and unless prompt
measures are taken to establish the
proper railway facilities there is lit-
tle doubt that other cities (notably
our near neighbor Austin) which are
striving to cut into San Antonio’s
trading territory will work this sec-
tion irreparable commercial injury.
Your attention is also invited to the
importance of making efforts to se-
cure the establishment in San Anto-
nio of the proposed branch Farmer’s
“Alliance Exchange”—an organiza-
tion which through the obligations
incumbent upon its members can be
a powerful magnet to attract exten-
sive trading interests to San Antonio
merchants and markets. In our
judgment San Antonio cannot well
afford to allow rival points to draw
elsewhere trade that would add mil-
lions of dollars to our banking com-
mercial and real estate values.
Please therefore make it your
special business to attend the meet-
ing hereby called to give both of
these topics the benefit of your Influ-
ence ana council.

Settle Up.
Messrs. J. T. Dickinson Louis J.
Wortham and Chas. T. Hicks have
been appointed by the fair directors as
a committee to canvass the city and
collect subscriptions on stock of the
Fair association and solicit new sub-
scriptions. If the citizens respond as
they should we will not only be able
to hold another fair in San Antonio
next year but can also carry through
successfully the grandest interstate
military display ever given in the
south next spring.
THAT MILLINERY PREMIUM.
Some folks *do not seem to under-
stand the meaning of the word mil-
linery. Wolfson does. Call and in-
spect his bonnets hats artificial flow-
ers and trimmings and be convinced.
It was on these goods that he took
first premium at the late fair—on
feathers artificial flowers bonnets
and hats and took them all without
a dissenting voice. In regard to mil-
linery four of the six judges who
passed upon that favored his display.
The ladies confirm the verdict of the
judges. His blue ribbons are on in-
spection. Call and see them.
