Pleasant social Chat About People and
Business at Arlington.

Correspondence 10 the Gazette.
Arlingtati, June 80. Arlington is
progressing materially, socially, re-
ligiously and cducationally. Divers
improvements, some small, others
important, bat all pleasing, have re-
Gently sprung up as by magic, illus
trating either the splendid "go-a-head-
a-tive-nessn or the earnest and active
taste OF the settlers who have emigrn-
ted from the four ends of the United
States, to establish themselves and
celebrated fighting sisters, Dali
las and Fort Worth. Some
| of our business men have evinced O
violent and unconquerable aversion to
the idea Of concealing their light un-
der bushel or serving the public la u
mercantile capacity without drawing
their attention by CONSPICUOUS signs.
Thus acting on the bible ugpestions,
which is entirely different. mo man
doeth anything in secret when he
himself would be known openly"
they have ornamented their establish
ments as well MS partially advertised
themselves by beautifully conceived
and painted sign boards. We would
respectfully suggest that they extend
their idea by advertising in Tarrant
Fcounty's great literary and business
representatiye-the GAZETTE.
The lamber business of Arlington Is
divided between the north and south
poles of town, the new establishment
towards the north star filling in a
pleasing style the vacancy that previ-
ously existed in that quarter OF our
suburbs.
The matrimonial and household in
terests of Arlington have been zeal
ously taken In charge by Mr.. VIM.
Spruauce. and all the happy aspirants
for wedock will rise up and bless him
for his new furniture store. How
many gentlemen, hereafter, anxious to
repose in the luxurious arms of a rock
ing chair, will suddenly be seized with
paroxysm of fondness for their wives
and purchase one-for nobody else in
the world but their own rosy and
charming partners!
DR.. Il. a. CraveLs' new and tasteful
Office is now quite an ornament to the
street on which it is constructed
Being almost opposite Dr. IL. G..
Stevens's, these offices stand, and. in
fancy, bow at each other from morning
till night.
Mr.. A. ID. Steph has clothed his
business in new and fine suit of arch
itcctufe. His new house proudly lifts
its head on one of the main corners Of
town.
Two of our merchants, stimulated
by the prospect of Il splendid lip and
chin harvest this season. as well as for
the purpose of keeping down the SUI
perabundant growth OF mustache and
beard, have decided to add the BARRIERS

There are some reports of new BUSH
ness houses in contemplation of con-
struction here.
A revival Of interest, under the elo-
quent and pious administration of
Elder j. w. Mitchell, pastor, assisted
by Elder Haynes, of Dallas, is in pro-
gress at the Baptist church. Elder
Haynes is minister Of ability, fervor
and spirituality. Elder j. w. Mitchell
is rarely gifted with imagination and
eloquence, combined with Judgment.
His sermons are frequently moving
rHnoraDlas Ct illustrations, united by a
principle of Older, and rervaded by a
latent logic, conducting to sublime and
beautiful conclusions. Logic engineers
the palace cars Of bis imagination.
The educational destiny of Airing
ton is now rapidly developing. ltcan-
not now be affirmed that the cduca-
tional kingdom is here divided against
itself. A comprehensive combination
of elements, with Rev. Geo. Wyatt as
president of the academy, has been
formed, with every promise Of brilliant
success and brilliant future.
\ musical concert and entertainment
for the purpose of seating the academy
will come off July 18th. 1t will doubt
/ less be an elegant affair.
Arlington is an objective point for
drummers from all parts of the United
States. We have perpetually repeated
invasions. How musical some OF ths Sc
drummers are. They drum by day,
and when business is over, mimic in
song and fun every nation under
heaven. Crowds gather around them,
and laughter flows freely.
