MIDLAND, Oct. F.-LCorrespondence.
Want of time has prevented me from
keeping your readers au cOurant rs to
affairs in this thriving town of ours, but
interesting events have been numerous
and our progress rapid all the same-in
TACT we have got start that nothing can
! impede, and the success of Midland is
assured beyond question A city is
needed here; the foundation has been
wisely and solidly laid, and the erection
OF The suporstructure is progressing and
VIII continue to advance as rapidly as
is convenient with permanently.
Bishop Elliott, of San Antonio honor
ed us with visit recently, holding scr
vices twice on the following Sunday,
giving ustwo most excellent sermons,
furnishing rare treat in this direction
which we enjoyed immensely.
For tho first time since the foundation
OF the world, the sound Of prayer and
praise to the Almighty God was heard
on This beautiful spot, and IL was fitting
thaI one of His highest, most learned
ana hohored priests; should oiliciate on
that occasion.
The bishop was much pleased with
our young town, agreed with the writer
AS To its future, and made partial ar
engagements for the erection of "a church
mere at an carly day, much to our do
light.
thus wemay consider the church and
the school the necessary cOncomicants
OF clVll'HatlOn, as assured taCts-.addi
tlonal attraction to the better class of
people That we are securing as perma-
ncnt citizens.
our school-house, q neat and attract
i've building, is finished, and on Mon.
day neNt the school will be opened: the
teacher, Miss Clara Kidd, highly edn-
Gated, cultivated and ACCOMPLISHED
young lady, having been secured to TAX
charge OF the school. The best inn
proved school furniture has been or
dered, but for the present temporary
seats VIII be used in order that there be
no delay IN opening tho school.
Mr. Il. w. Butler, formerly of Colo
rIado, has erected II part of
shops. The rest will follow before long.
Even now he is prepared for blacksmith
ing ana wagon work, rs some OF our
people. have found to their convenience
and advantage.
Midland may well rejoice in having a
mandatory at this early period in her
history. In this respect, as in many
Others, we arc far in advance of the
great majority, If not OF evory other
town no older than ours.
mat Mr.. Buffers enterprise will be
well rewarded, there can be no uuestio on
for windmills are almost indispensahls
III this country, both for tho nu-
merous ranchmon and the small
stockmen and grangers, who are
possessing tho land in every direction.
ana the mill, which win be manulac-
tdred here, is undoubtedly one of the
very best ever invented.
The immigrants house begins To loom
up grandly, and will not only be well
adapted To Tho uses and purposes for
Whlch IL IL designed, but will be deci-
uouly ornamental AS well, and certain
10 cause favorable comment from all the
passors-by on this great thoroughfare.
The "home" is the work of tho town
company. II is hoped that the railroad
company will enclose tho block on
which the building stands with n neat
fence, and plant trees and shrubbery,
when the structure will bear n
very close resemblance to tho mansion
OF some wealthy citizen.
inc town company recently held a
meeting here, tho proceedings being, of
course OF private nature, but III ia
understood that among their conclusions
ana plans were tho plating OF an addi-
ton To the town on the north to be sold
only to actual settlers, tho planting of
trees on the public square and around
tho depot, the employ ment of au assist
ant to the secretary and sundry othor
things.
Secretary Harris has worked hard.
faithfully and continually for tho
company during tho entire hot
weather, and has had no
time to attend To outside matters. which
would perhaps have advanced the in
forests of the town somewhat.
The assistance to he furnished will
doubtless be most welcome To him and
enable him Nv enjoy much needed resi-.
To some extent nj least
New buildings, both i'm town and
country, are in progress. Now people
are arriving, and altogether our pros
poets are bright indeed.
