Two Texas Orphans.

Two bright, pretty and intelligent little
children arrived in Jackson yesterday morn
ing on the 1:25 mail train, in charge of Mr..
j. T. Swift, one Of tho popular conductors
of the Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans
Railroad, who placed them under the tender
charge of Mr.. Gus. Folkes, the whole-soul-
ed and generous manager of the Edwards
House. Their names are Howard Bryan,
aged years; and Nellie Bryan aged 6.
They have travelled all the way from Hous>
ton, Texas, and are ell route to Selma, Ala,
where they have relatives, who propose to
take charge of and adopt them. They
Started on their journey bearing a letter
from Mr.. G, p. Waldo, General Passenger
Agent, recommending them to the kind
consideration of conductors, and others OH
their route; which letter bore fruit as the
following endorsements thereon will show.
The first conductor wrote TO the next one
on the line as follows:
"Dont forget the children ED, for un-
less you become as one of these you cans
not enter the Kingdom of Heaven"
JULIE ALvoRD:
Southern Division, Il. & p. RR
Who in turn said to the next as follows:
"Suffer little children to come unto me for
of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Be
kind to the children, "Jack."
Ed. W. MOWER, Conductor:
l. NJ. S. r. r.
The next Conductor was also of a Bibli-
cal turn of mind. He said: 'Lead them
not into temptation but deliver these chill
dren rafely to the M. & T. Il. r." And
signed himself j. G. WE'LL,
Conductor 1. M. Il S. r. r.
This is the next endorsement we find
'Put under care of conductor Of the M. &
|. II. R., and taken care of while passing
through Memphis, by
HORACE BERGMAN,
Agent Transfer Line. L
The next is written, we imagine, by some
Id fellow, who has in all probability,
ozen or more children of his own. He l,
ays: ''These two little angels were put in u
ny care at Grenada, and handed over safe O
= to the next conductor at Canton, and had a
ny undivided attention. The little ones o.
ertainly enjoyed themselves, as they slept e
Il the way. May the little pair ever happy tl

Mr.. Swift, who delivered them over 81

ent: "The two little travellers were put
my care at Canton. 1 turned them over tI
the proprietor of the Edwards House, ar
