smothered tho snmo before It bad ngooil

AN APPEAL
To tho Citizens of San Antonio
nnd Vicinity.
Ulltur Sim .tiit.ml.i l.lulil.
It Is well known that ourcltlena are
exerting themselves to make the np-
proachlng Volksfest I he grainiest nll'alr
over held In Texas. In order to nciom-
pllsh tills nml make It n success In every
particular It becomes necessary to oiler
such attrni Hons as will Induce strangers
to visit us. "Hard times" Is about to
become a thing of the past even now wo
begin to feel tho approach of belter
times. Progress and enterprise nre be-
ginning to cope with procrastination
and that enemy Is about to lenve to glte
way to a better friend Industry and
good limes. I overheard a new arrival
remark tbootherday ! "Hello: I thought
San Antonio was dead." He wos an-
swered by one of our lillrens who nsked
1 1 1 in If he thought our city wns dead
wlint had Induced him to visit here.
"Oh" ho replied "I caine to witness its
cremation!" Since then the stranger's
opinion lias changed. Can It he won-
dered nt f Head our papers nnd see the
good news they bring to us every day.
Don't they tell us or school house and
street liupruiements and our railroad ;
All Ibis Is ours-lhe property of old
Itexar. And don't they tell us what
I'hclo Sam Is going to do for us 111 u
short time mako this point the most
attractive headquarters In Texas.
Don't these papers tell M that
It requires money to accomplish
all of this and haven't we sense enough
to know that when tills Is done Snn An-
tonio enn reap a benellt.
Olto our cltlrens an opportunity anil
they will show the outside world that
enterprise still exists In the Alamo City.
Sullerlng heavy losses brought on by
the hnni rummer nnd still confronted
with bard limes nur citizens have nobly
respondid to the request to nssls t In tho
coming celebration ns n glnncn at tho
list will show. To these noblo and gen-
erous citizens 1 make lids appeal In be-
half of the Snn Antonio llnse llnllclub.
Eneournge them on nnd let them help
tho attractions. They will certainly
make an attractive feature. Give our
boys a chance. They are deserting and
I hcllete if San Antonio lends n helping
hnlid she will neter have cause to regret
It. Ciii.mir lion.
