ing school In Brownsville. We think the
professor better teach singing school IN

in singing school, and we know Of no
one who we would rather see at the head
Of such a school in our city than Prof.
Andrew. What do you say, Prof., lc

Dan Van Valkenburgh spent Mon
day night in Austin with his parents
who are yet In our city. He is down
from Dakota on business trip. How
strange il seems. He went away from u.
but little while ago, b!ushing, fair
haired boy, the pride of his now sainted
mother. We we'll remember the obedlent
loving son, ard the fond do,ing mother
whose whole heart went out IN acts OIL
