The Fourth of July was well OBJ
served in Mexico. 1t was stock
sales day and the town was crowded
with farmers. Some of our people
celebrated elsewhere, but there were
plenty of strangers to take their
places The Catholic picnic was a
SUCCESS clear through. 1t was well
attended and the crowd was in a So
cable and mirthful humor. Jas. g.
Trimble read the Declaration of In
dependence and T. b. Buckner read
a speech. The music a good and
the young people enjoyed the dance.
The dinner was far above the aver
age picnic dinner and was appre-
ciated. as the actions of the crowd
attested. The sports were all en-
joyed and the prizes hotly contested
for. The festivities of the day closed
with a ball at the Windsor at night,
which was a most enjoyable affair.

an Educational Institution as woul
be, not only adequate to meet thei
wants, but would also afford t
young ladies' of the growing and Wig
orous Southwest, the highest advant
ages and facilities for the acquisitio
of a thorough and finished educs
ton.
Convinced, as they were, that
section of country 10 beautiful in al
pearance, SO rich in productivenes
SO ample in resources; and which
! for many years has contributed E
largely to the support of distal
) schools, could establish and maintai
an institution for the higher educ
, ton of young ladies equal in ehara
