A Sunday notice from 1899 reports on a postal matter in San Antonio. Details are fragmentary but indicate actions or rates tied to the Sunday edition release. The item preserves historic naming and the period tone from the Texan paper.
A lengthy meditation on the value of life and the dangers of overpopulation, poverty, and indifference. The piece argues humanitarian effort, Christian duty, and legal systems fail to protect life, urging society to reevaluate the true worth of existence and to temper labor and wealth with compassion. It references depopulation trends, social ills, and calls for humane action, ending with a testimonial about Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.
A fragment reflects on a singular man named Berksley and asks how he differs from others. The speaker notes the man has not claimed plans to travel to Cunha or Porto Rico to seek fortune if he remains single, hinting at unconventional motives or constraints.
A fragmented local note mentions a medicine called Gough Remedy used for coughs and colds. It notes Oakland Pharmacy in Oakland Maryland as the seller and implies it is a trusted remedy.
Society notices report Mr and Mrs Thimbynayakempillai visiting Kavilkudyletaps with Thambyneyagampllai not a judge and Arvindyagamplat related in law to Jambullag amuindelian Westminster Gazette style.
A quirky note reviews Meagra Hood & Co of Baragpariilz fame using clever old proverbs in ads. The piece praises their bright selection of quaint sayings neatly repurposed to fit subjects, noting broad public appeal and a breezy advertising tone.
A terse fragment references Hicks living on a farm with typical summer routines. The note includes a sigh and a casual tone, mirroring a diary or column snippet from the Philadelphia North American.
The passage references a stomach remedy named Doctor's Favorite Bitters and mentions various fragmented notes about stomach ailments and cures. It also includes unrelated dialogue and scattered names, with no clear cohesive news event. The text mixes medical advertising language with stray dialogue and older style narration.
City taxes for 1900 are none. Taxpayers urged to call and settle penalties and costs. Dog tax collection opens June 1 and dogs without licenses will be taken up in the streets. Notice to property taxables within San Antonio on June 1 1893 due by September 1 1899. Assessor Devine, Guy.
All property owners on Ave G between Houston and Tete Streets must install water connections before street paving begins. Water mains require lead to be replaced with proper piping, and connections to the curb must be made from the main to the sidewalk. After paving, no digging will be allowed and tunneling under the street for water or sewer lines will be required at high cost.
A messy scan shows a school scene with a teacher prompting students on a spelling task, plus stray notes about privileges and bids for a local venture. Other items include a youth revenge tale, a prince of Wales joke, leather satchel ads, and a West End dance report with rain interrupting festivities.
A garbled newspaper fragment references a person named Dash a sprinter run over by a freight truck last week. It mentions an incurable disease, a hero/heroine, and a coroner's verdict amid unclear details.
A garbled dialogue presents a Berlin citizen and others debating marriage as a lottery and gender roles. The fragment mentions a man who can drink a gallon of beer and mocks Great Britain’s influence, reflecting strained attitudes in a tense social scene.
A fragmentary dialogue centers on Willie and a name plate in Cleveland. The garbled text suggests confusion over a person or label, with mentions of a lender and an unclear exchange. The piece reads like a dialect sketch or clipped anecdote with few clear facts.
The Palace, at 220 Hoyaton Street, announces a ladies and gentlemen dining room with first class service. Regular hours include lunch from 11:30 to 2. A. Bushardt, proprietor, invites patrons to enjoy short orders and a refined dining experience.
Fragmentary clippings mention uniform workmanship of Santone Clear 9 and praise from CHAS. J. Rossy of San Antonio.
