No Jlcan City
To ono who has tho daily oppor-
tunity of overlooking tho entire
vicinity of San Saba at ono single
glanco of tho eye tho placo pre-
sents no little attractiveness
More pretentious places haw not
half the advantages that San Saba
has and many place dubbed as
cities almost from their location
have not half tho claims to tho ap-
pellation of city that this same
quiet unobtrusive places really
possesses Amongst the many
material advantages that its citi-
zens can rightfully claim for it
those that may bo witnessed ev
ery Sunday morning stand out
prominent in view There is noth-
ing more imposing to tho lover of
Christianity than tho chiming of
church bells on the holy christian
Sabbath This sacred music is
painfully absont in many places
but not so in San Saba Hero
nearly all tho different churches
of tho day aro represented and
most of them havo thoir houses of
worship From these the church
bells send forth thoir rmals Sab
bath after Sabbath summoning
first tho children and young peo
ple of tho place to tho different
churches to engage in the impor
tant services of tho Sunday school
and next tho old and the young to
sacred worship in the great con-
gregations and citizens may bo
seen going in different directions
to their respective places of wor-
ship And this routine is kept up
Sabbath after Sabbath
There are no hills and conse-
quently no hollows nor are there
any ravines in the town of San
Saba It really is beautiful for
situation stretching out from east
to west in a beautiful valley of the
far famed San Saba river It may-
be overlooked from an elevated
standpoint a littlo south of it
From hero it seems to be tho mar-
gin of a most picturesque land-
scape stretching northward and
eastward for many miles Tho
lovely San Saba river is just a
mile north of town and is ever
moving along gracefully without
let or hindrance No one can
see it as it really is without tak-
ing a birds eye view of it
San Saba is an important place
to us of the vicinity as well as to
tho citizens of the whole county
And it takes daily lifo and activity
to make it what it realty is In
ancient times a place of such im-
portance and such environment
TOirld bo Tegarded as no mean
city If it takes onergy activity
capital and business to make a
city then San Saba is a city If
it takes a fine school in a fine col-
lege building and quite a number
of neat commodious churches to
make a city then San Saba is a
city If it takes a considerable
number of quiet yet active stir
iug progressive people who live
in harmony and work for the gen-
eral good of the place to make a
city then San Saba is a city
Then why not call it a city AATho
would be regarded as egotistic and
what other town would bo wrong-
ed Our town paper has not
claimed the appellation but this
may be said to its credit Our cit-
izens havo not aspired to such
honor but this does not detract
tho least bit from their just claims
Tho citizens of tho county have
not demanded it for their county
seat but havo rather just watched
its progress without boasting of
its importance Tho placo is not
incorporated but what for that
It does not contain 5000 inhabi-
tants but what for that It is old
enough but it does not take age to
make a city but growth And if
a placo grows in tho material
elements and proportions of a city
then it is a city and why not re-
cognize it as such Therefore
from this time onward let us say
Our citv and The city of San
Saba AY J W

the Public school at this place
Tho school has an able faculty and
good work is being done by both
pupils and teachers Five teacher

Trustees have deemed it proper to

pline of the school is mild paren-

tages offered by this school are as
good as can be found elsewhere
