FORT WORTH, Texas July 20, 1890.
To the Daily LIGHT
A couple of weeks ago we left the
City of Dallas. Arriving in Fort
Worth at ten on the morning of the
18th we fell in with friends, who &C.
companied us to the courthouse
where the Association of County and
District Attorneys of Texas," was to
convene. Here, q goodly number OF
lady and gentlemen teachers had
assembled, by special invitation, to
Attorney T. J. Powell. Mr.. Powell
delivered his speech in a most grace
full manner. His word were well
chosen; he knew just what he wanted
to say and said it. J. c. Bowie, of
Upshar county, responded to the ad-
dress of Mr.. Powell. He paid many
compliments to Fort Worth, compli.
mented the ladies present, compli-
mented the press; in fact Mr.. Bowie
felt good anG he wanted every body to
know 1t.
After partaking of q dinner that
Fort Worth alone can excel in getting
up, we continued on our round of
sight seeing. In company with Judge
Harris and others, we visited the
Hurley building. From the roof of
this seven-story structure we bad
fine view of the town and surrounding
country. When it comes to fine
buildings. Fort Worth is not behind
Dallas or San Antonio.
Mrs. Burchell kindly showed US
through the postoffice, which is now
located in the board of trade building.
The private office or reception room of
Mrs. Burchell's, is marvel of splen-
dor. Easy chairs, lounges, hand
some tapestry, engravings, paint
ings, statuary and books rem
der 1t q fit resting place for this
most energetic woman. With many
odds against her, Mrs. Burchell Sc
cured the appointment of P. M. under
Garfield; she gave satisfaction to all.
When Cleveland was president there
was strong voice for her to be re-
tanned, but ito the victor belong the
spoils." 1t has been said DIR. Fields
was appointed to succeed Mrs. Bur-
chell. No one is better fitted in Texas
to'hold an office than Mrs. Belle M.
Burchell. Fort Worth is just proud
of her.
Fort Worth has many things to be
proud Of She is proud of her legal
talent; proud Of her school buildings;
proud of her artesian water; proud of
her natatorium, the finest in the
whole south; and expect she is
proud of her city's bonds. 1--WE have
ht,tx tx.,O y,1llao hnfunnr naIlaa and
u.s.
The north Texas summer normrl,
held.in this building, has an enroll
ment of 1913 teachers. The college js
beautifully located, remote from the
city. Cars run past grounds every
few minutes. Many of those in at
tendance are boarding in the college.
The Wesleyan is the modern
Methodist college. The Polytechnic,
the Southern, is situated farther from
the city, is not yet completed.
The high school building will be
occupied this fall. 1t is the finest
public school house we have seen in
the state.
DR.. Mitchell, pastor of the Broad
way Presbyterian church is again in
generated, pending his trial. 1t will
be rememb ered, DIR. Mitchell is the
divine who was arrested for forgery
some months ago. 1t Is thought he is
insane. If it Is proven he Is, he will
be sent to Terrell at once.
Mrs. Key, wife of Bishop Joseph
Key is quite sick at Eureka Springs,
Ark. In case she rallies sufficiently.
the Bishop will carry her to Georgia,
where her children live. ~
