KtxRsviLLKTex. April 27 '80. Your
correspondent left Han Antonio this
morning by the San Anlonlo and Aran
sas Pass Kallroad on the train which Is
supposed to leave at 8:15. but from some
cause unknown to the writer we did
not get started bclore 0 o'clock but as a
great deal of express matter etc kept
accumulating on the platform and tbe
olllclals keeping In view tbe Interests
or tbe public did not with to leave with-
out taking every package Ac on tbe
train it is presumed that this may In a
measure account for the delay but not
withstanding this every station was
nearly made on schedule time which
speaks well for the condition of tbe
track. The train was composed or 25
loaded cars and two coaches filled with
passengers which dashed along one or
the loveliest sections or country bring-
ing Into view on either tide of us mag-
nificent gardens and extensive corn and
cotton fields.
So Brand beautiful and nlesslnir to the
eye Is this scenery that one forgets he Is
trnveting at any great rate oi speed un-
til the announcement Is mude by some
fellow-pattenger tbst we are crossing
tbe river Salado which la distant from
San Antonio 11 miles and there la lo
cated the first section-bouse on the road.
a neat substantial two-story dwelling
with Mr John Barrett a well-known
trackman In charge.
After we cross tbe river the road nen-
etrates the large pasture ot Mr. Chavez
and as In other pastures along the
route the grass looks nice and green
while all the stock which came under
our notice appeared as far as the eye
could reacb. In good condition.
Nothing of importance happened to
mar or Interrupt our pleasure until we
approached Eltnendorir and on looking
out there could be seen In the distance
heavy dark and ominous looking clouds
and It was not long before tbe whole
sky presented a very dark appearance
the air became chilly so much so that
even In the coaches an overcoat would
have been a luxury but this awful look-
ing scene was not for nothing for on
approaching tbe Calevaras tbe heavens
opened the lightning Hashed and
thunder rolled and one of the
heaviest hailstorms that we ever wit-
nessed came down In one solid sheet
cutting down everything belore It. Se
great was Its force that It actually car-
ried one of tbe brakemen Mr. William
Black from tbe ton of one or the box
oars but luckily the train came to a
standstill about this time and be fell In
the sand and was thus saved from a very
severe aocldent. But strange to say
when we arrived here (at Floresvllle)
iub people uiu oui inuw anyiuing auout
It as tbe storm did not reach that far.
Un arriving at oreavll e tbe first
thing which attracts attention Is the
large and extensive lumber yard
or Martin it Scbryver and that
of Mr. Ira Ezzell. The company has
erected at this place a very fine depot
with Mr. D. B. Safibld as agent a gen-
tleman to whom we are Indebted for
much valuable Information and from
our experience we believe tbe company
bas exercised good Judgment Id making
snob an appointment.
Tbe depot grounds are located on or
about tbe suburbs or town while what
may be called tbe town proper Is one-
half mile distant. There are In lb town
two drugstores seven merchandise two
outoner snops nve doctors one saddler
shop one tin shop one skating rink and
one livery stable besides a great many
other minor businesses too numerous to

DENTISTRY
MOST TASTY AND DEST-ARRANOEO
PARLORS IN THE SOUTH.
Dr.. Johnston It Carroll Load the Ail-
vnneo In an Enterprise for tbe
Roller From Dental
Sufferings
Propermastlcatlon of the food we par-
take Is the essenoe of health and life and
considering the general alllngs and wall-
Ings 'of mankind he sutlers more from
the dental appendages to the form divine
than any other source and In addition
until the last two decades has submitted
to more painful operations to keep these
same appendages In order to have them
replaced by new ones than from any
other casual disorder or the physical sys-
tem of man. It Is only In the second
quarter of tbe present century that den-
tistry began lo becoino a subject or
science from what had been to a great
extent up to that time tbe necessary
side qualification of the village barber.
The proof or this assertion Is shown In
many ludicrous pictures of painfully
comic situations in which a suffering
patient played tbe most conspicuous yet
unwilling part.
Of late dentistry has become a sclenoe
of no little power and a strong adjunct
to tbe healing art In the human family;
the art preservative which forms no
little part In the recognized world of
learning Is Its nearest ally with tho art
or Materia Medlca.
A I.iomt representative In his casual
peregrination over the city was Invited
Into the dental parlors orDrs. Johnston
A Carroll at 273 Commerce street and
then was confronted with a scene of
beauty and elegance that will vie with
any institution of its kind anywhere.
There are two private oneratlnir rooms.
one In front and tbe other In tbe
rear or tbe spacious upper floor and
also a private room for ladles. The large
narlor Is sunnl ed with all thoso little
auxiliaries that will make the visitor
feel at home. Three d flerent sets of nar
lor and reception room furniture of the
latest patterns in ueauitiuiiy oienueu
colors Invite to seats. A grand square
piano with lots of muslo Is sufilclently
fascinating for any one to manipulate
tbe Ivory keys; body llrustel carpets
cover tbe floors fine paintings decorate
tbe walls and beautiful hand-painted
lambrenulns and lace curtains assist In
giving that mellow tone to tbe rooms
that Is only formed In tbe best appointed
homes.
The dlllerent sets or tools are or tbe
very best that science art and ex tier I-
ence has produced and are complete In
tbe smallest detail. An npparatus
known as the Lewis Nitrous Oxide Gas-
ometer has been procured by the gen-
tleirien for the extraction of teeth with-
out pain while skilled physicians are
always on hand to administer chloroform
or ether whatever Is preferred by tho
patient. Arrangements uave also oeen
made to have suitable faollllles for thoso
who do not speak English. Spanish and
German Is spoken In tbe olllce.
Dr. O. A. Johnston Is an old band at
the profession having tlrst started at It
25 years ago In the State of Kentucky.
Dr. II. SI. Carroll the Junior member
or tbe firm has been practicing ror tbe
last in years anu nas reaped a tine repu-
tation wherever he has come In con-
tact with those sutl'erlng with that worst
