A fragmented Sunday column surveys local politics with references to mayoral futures, anti-scaping protests, and civic tension. It notes lingering dissatisfaction with the new administration, ongoing public demonstrations, and questions over police and street projects as community voices press for change.
An old advertisement style column quotes J Lamon, a San Antonio stone mason, praising Doan's Kidney Pills after years of back and kidney pain. It promotes Texas Drug Store purchases with Buffalo agents and urges use of Dean’s Kidney Pills. A separate note endorses Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for teething babies at twenty five cents.
A fragmented piece discusses Joan of Arc, noting how her capture led to torture and execution, and how Pope Calixte’s later review declared her a witch. It reflects on differing views among French writers and families claiming Orleans lineage while questioning the martyrdom narrative.
The piece surveys seasonally stylish evening gowns and day dresses, noting the princess line, bodice and skirt details, high girdles, and boleros. It highlights fabrics like velvet, broadcloth, and chiffon, with emphasis on hats, feather embellishments, and new simple neckwear, tracing London influence and practical at home alterations.
Tr Rainsforn of St Georges Ton Yous argues civilization requires women’s voting rights. He says legislation now reaches homes and labor relations, urging expertise in such matters and warning against restricting influence to husbands.

A fragment from the Galveston Tribune presents a series of puzzled questions about missing individuals such as Raya Gladys Clarite Cyendoline and others. The text riffs on reaching home with money and duties, ending with a note about supporting one’s own people and the impact of a dollar lost on distant help.
The Sentry urges reform of the postmaster class, arguing 70,000 positions under $1,000 annual pay form a large, crucial backbone of the postal system. It calls for permanent tenure and higher compensation, noting many postmasters earn under $60 yearly and up to 25,010,000 money orders are issued, with reforms aimed at reducing loss and improving service. The piece stresses the public interest in fair pay and stable tenure for those serving rural and urban communities alike.
A well known lawyer, visiting New York after thirty years, retraces the stormer era in 1874. He stays in the famed Fifth Avenue hotel, asks for the same room, and finds the room still in use though aged by time. An important schedule change notice swells the article amid the reminiscence.
