Notes and Personals

Fort WORTH, July H. Special. i
1t has already been stated in THE
HERALD there was considerable dis
satisfaction among the committeeman
themselves, about the first location
selected for the Confederate reunion to
be held here the 5th of August, and
now after careful survey and review
OF the country around the city, o place
has been selected, which IL is believed
Is The most desirable that could have
been found and seems TO be universal
ly pronounced q good selection. The
grounds are on the west side of the
Clear Fork, about $50 yards below the
Texas u Pacific Railroad bridge and
distant about two miles from this city.
At this place there are about
20 acres of splendid native forest
trees with vide, leaiy boughs, so that
an abundance of shade will be fur
nished. A force of hands is at work
clearing away the underbrush and
doing other necessary work, so that
the grounds will bo in beautiful condi-
ton when the day fer tho reunion ar
rives. The grounds can DO reached by
special trains on tho Texas IL Pacific
Railroad, which will bo run during
the reunion, and by carriages from
this city, the road leading to Weather
ford passing Immediately by the
groun1s. Many distinguished OK
Coniederates from other States arc OK
pscted here during the reunion, ana
the gentlemen in this city having the
affair in charge are using their utmost
| Efforts TO mako the affair a success.
THAT FOURTH OF July AGAIN.
For some time past the city papers
hGVo fairly teonIod with cards with
reference TO the deposition OF tho
money taken IN al the gate Of tho
Kosedale Pavilion on the tho occasion
| Of the recent celebration Cftho Fourth.
| At hrst tho impression was that the
Catholic Church vas tho beneficiary,
| Lut Father GuYot came out IN o. card
and donied that such was the case.
| Then the RosadAlo Street Railroad
Company. through ono Of its officers,
Mr.. Theodore VOgel, saw tit TO DENY
that II ever received q cont Of the
money. 1t seemed about as difficult
to find out what became of the money
as 1t is usually TO ascertain "who
struck Billy Patterson" The matter
has at last been settled and tho public
can now rest easy. MIR. w. Il. Magin-
MS IL out in card

which no says no has $50 that he is
ready to turn over to almost anyone
who will call and get 1t. 1t seems to
be sort OF blood-mOney, as no one is
over anxious for it. The fact is, IL was
generally understood that no admis

ton was so general and the criticisms
so severe that IL no doubt Is very
sore subject to those who he'd the AZ
fair in charge. 1t IL suggested that il
would be good idea for the commit.
tee to turn the amount over to the
finance committee of the Confederate
reunion, since no ono else seems To
want 1t.
