SAN ANTONIO--There is a great deal of
sickness in town just now caused in great

and fevers are very prevalent, and there is
a tendency towards congestion.

new men who are willing to till her virgin
soil which can produce corn, all the small
grains, cotton, all the grasses, excellent

Whiskey and beer, however, can be
procured in any desired quantities.
