SCIENCE HALL, Nov. 5. 1881


Thinking 'you might enjoy few lines
from this beautiful part Of the earth, which
you never saw, I will scratch down few
items. Our school, which we believe to be
one of the best, is getting along finely.
Mrs. Andrews has been running II alons
with about ~ scholars, until last Monday
the free school opened with about GO schol'
mrs, and Prof. Andrews wentin. We know
some OF You have larger houses, but you
have no larger, teacher than we nor do we
think you have harder workers. Our favor.
ite music teacher, Miss Adkins, Is ut her
post, has about dozen scholars II you
love music, come over some Sunday night to
prayer meeting, and il your soul can be
filed II will be. ! saw sometime time since
you gave list of the cotton gins in the
county and left out VIM. Trimble's (again
showing what you have lost by not coming to
Science Hail. one of the most energetic
young men in the county, coming on af-
ter Nance 4 Sledge. He has two gin stands,
ginned four or Ave hundred bales this year
and still running. Now the R. R., Kyle
and Dupre are all like you, do not think this
little place worth noticing, 20 all this cotton
has no outlet only to Austin through three
gates. To get to Kyle there Is six, and oh,
such gates those Kyle patent" think It
is too bad, arailroad town in Ave miles, a
gate every mile, Mr.. editor, please tell the
authorities that we out here are reminded
when tax paying time comes, why not give
US roads But hold on Kyle, there is q
man at Dupre, not very handsome some
would say, but he is stirring to open road
to Science Hall, then we can get to the
railroad.
Our Dr. is fixing to leave us, says it is
distressingly healthy; but we would be glad
II he could stay, he is q good fellow. We
hear that the the narrow gauge is going to
cross at Kyle; wouldn't care If we had a
road there. Our farmers are blowing and
sowing grain; all the cotton is not out yet
Our Supervisor Ratlif's child that was
kicked by horse some time since and had
its skull broken, after the Doctors took out
several pieces of bone is getting we'll Mrs.
Trimble, who has been sick for some time,
died last week. She was good woman; q
large crowd followed her to the cemetery
where Rev. Garrett preached the sermon.
She leaves kind husband and bright little
girl to mourn her loss, but no doubt she is
better off in the bright beyond. Miss Mol
lie Lynch, one Of the energetic school teach
ers sent out by Science Hall, is visiting
home few days, when she will return to
her school VIM. Hollander, one of our
old neighbors, has sold out and left us; hope
Capt. Turner will give us good neighbor
in his place. Henry Stanly has rented out
his place and is going to try railroading.
He is good honest fellow, hope he will do
well. We learn Prof. Storts has fine
school at Kyle but some other institutions
there are no good companins for a school.
So bad,men will spoil good society in the face
of law. HOPEFUL.
In response to the above we will state
that it has certainly been no absence of de-
sire or indifference on our part to its well
certified attractions, both natural and social,
that has prevented our visiting Science Hall
neighbUrhood, but simply stress Of unfa-
vorabls circumstances. We hope ere long,
however, to be able to visit that locality.
That musical entertainment we are sure we
should appreciate EDrroR.1 GR
