Annual Meeting to be Held in San Antonio. March 8

The sixth annual convention of the Texas Live Stock association will convene in San Antonio on Monday, March 8. This association was organized in the interest of the growers of cattle, horses, sheep and swine, and it has steadily grown in numbers, and in influence year by year. A very interesting program has been prepared for this meeting which will be carried out in full. The subjects for discussion have been assigned to capable men and much interesting information will be obtained by those who are fortunate enough to attend.

There are several live questions of vital importance to the live stock industry of this state which should be discussed at this convention. The legislature will still be in session, and the views of the convention as crystallized in the form of resolutions and requests will doubtless have some weight with the law making powers at Austin. The citizens of San Antonio are making great preparations looking to the comfort and entertainment of all delegates and visitors to the convention and every one directly or indirectly interested in breeding or handling any kind of live stock is urgently requested to attend.

On account of this meeting the rail roads of the state have made an extraordinary low rate of five dollars for the round trip from any point in the state. The rate from nearby points will be proportionately low.

The following is the program in full which will be carried out at the meeting:

Convention called to order at 9:30 a. m., by the president.
Prayer, by Rev. Bayard Craig.
Official welcome, by the mayor of San Antonio.
Address of welcome on behalf of the local stockmen, by some gentleman to be selected by the local committee
Response, by Hon. A. S. Reed, Fort Worth.
President's annual message.
Address by Gov. C. A. Culberson.
Report of secretary and treasurer.
Reports of standing committees.
New business resolutions, etc.
