The Dallas and Wichita railroad, be-
ginning ut Dallas and running in di-
rect line to Denton, forty-tlvc miles,
and continuing thence northwest
wardly To the great mineral regions of
northwest Texas, say one hundred and
twenty-five miles from Dallas, may
now be regarded rs fairly begun. The
line has been located for about two
hundred miles. Grading in earnest Is
now under contract for twenty miles,
and the work is being commenced.
There Is no reason to doubt the early
completion of twenty miles, which
will reach the northwest corner and tap
the country beyond the Elm fork of
Trinity. We do not express the opinion
that the road will progress rapidly be-
You'd that point, for that may be con-
tingcnt on the money market, but that
1t will steadily progress and be the first
line to connect the coast of Texas, via
Dallas, with Denver and Colorado ter
ritory, there can be no reasonable
doubt. AT any rate, after considerable
delay, the enterprise is alive and will
soon be twenty miles long.

| sTITUTI0N.
| From Mr.. =. Herseys SUNDAY School, We
obtain the following account of the organi7a'
| ton of Asbury NJ. j.. Sunday School, nearly
| the oldest IN this city:
| Asbury NJ. L. Sunday School, was organized
| in the year 1913 through the persistent enegy
| of two ladies, one by the name of Elizabeth
Cabe.who afterwards became the wife of 4
| gentleman by the name of Ieager; she with
| her husband afterwards moved TO Baltimore.
| The name of the other lady was Anna Nc
Clees, who afterwards married gentleman
! named Ford. though well stricken in years yet
resides In this city
The school was organized in Asbury NJ. L.
Church, and Samuel Savington was elected
the first superintendent. Although organized
IN the Church, they were only allowed by tho
Trustees to meet there upon condition that
they would take no boys as scholars, This
restriction not suiting the broad philaptropic
ideas of the originatOrs of the School. it was
removed from there to a house belonging to
John Taylor at the southwest corner of See
ond and Walnut streets, where it remained for
some time, and from which il was removed
to the store house of David Bush in Front St,
between Market and King, which is now Nos.
and East Front street
In the year 1923 house was built at tho
southwest corner of Asbury Church into
which the School was removed, and in which
1t remained until about the year 1885, whe n
the objections against boys as scholars had
ceased, and the School was allowed to occupy
the church proper again, and ip which it has
remained to the present day. The school is
now one of the most vigorous and prosperous
in the city and no one now ever thinks of OBJ
jccting to the school meeting in the Church
because boys are allowed to atteAd. Now all
are welcome. The present officers of the
School are as follows Superintendent, Ewd.
Spencer Female Superintendent, Rebecca
Matlack Musical Director, Wn Groves ;
Secretary, Charles G. Betelle Librarian, l.
&. Thomas. Periodical agent, John w. Hill
Superintendent Infant Department, Ann c.
