NEVER A MORE HEATED ONE
The Fort Worth GAZETTE scholarship
contest is ended at last. There has perhaps
never been more heated contest of the
like or any other character in the state.
The interest was not confined to the Fort
alone. Everybody it seemed was on the
lookout for the result. Miss Maydelle
Drake carried off the first prize, a scholar
ship in Hardin college, which includes
board, fuel, lights, and in fact everything
needed at an institution of that character.
