"Texas and the business he now of-
fers for sale at a bargain. " The

REASON FOR SELLING.
T liave large ranch interests
which demand the greater portioa -of
my time and it is impossible for
me to devote proper attention to
mercantile business. I am willing;
to sell at a sacrifice rather than
neglect either business.
With the S. A. & A. P. railroad
"heading for Hidalgo this is sure to
he one of the best business points
on the Rio Grande and this is a
chance for some one to coin money
The business is already paying bis
profits daily and improving rapidly
and is undoubtedly one of the best
lusiners chances ever offered at a.
