While the early deaths Of Sally

the Rev. Mr.. Malleson. of Brough

a new explanation of the causes OF

When the young ladies and their escorts

thronged with an immense crowd. and each
car from up town was loaded TO its utmost

One Of the pleasanteSt features of the
whole contest was the reception in the par

characteristic manner; presented the beau

half of the railroad boys, closing his re-
marks with the prophecy that Miss Drake
would do credit TO herself and to those who
sent her to uphold the banner of Texas.
The medal was in three distinct pieces.
On bar at the top were the words, May
dele Drake. To this bar was hung

A Sketch of Miss King

While the accident of birth does not quail
lfy a young lady for a position in college, Il
is pleasant TO be able to claim by both birth
and antecedents an entree into the society
where those agreeable environments are
specially emphasized. Miss Genevieve
King WAS born in Galveston, Novem Der Is,
1874. She is a granddaughter of Col. Wal
lis. the founder of the old, reliable firm of
Wallis, Lands 4 Co. whose stainless his
tory is almost coeval with the business
reputation of the city Still the name is
honored in the sons. Her mother, reign
ing bell in those days, was married to Capt
KING, who had won his spurs in the Con-
federate service although but sixteen
years of age when he shouldered his gum.
He comes OF one of the most prominent fami-
lies of Georgia, Governor Gordon being an
uncle and others OF equal note as nearly
related. Capt King had six brothers whose
war records will live in Confederate his
tory. Miss King is also lineal descendant
of Davy Crockett, and though lin a differ
ent constellation" we Shall expect her, too
to add luster to Texas glory. Capt. King
and his family removed to Texas about four
years ago, and the subsequent years have
been spent by Miss Genevieve in the close
confinement of the school room. The vaca-
lions have been devoted TO music ana to the
instruction of few who were seeking Gu
trance into higher grade the coming term.
Her teachers are unanimous in p%OnOunc-
ing her thorough scholar. while her school
companions speak feelingly of the rare
amiability and sweetness of her disposition.
As one voluntarily remarked: I'VE all
loved her because she was so generous,
sweet and helpful when we got into the
slough Of despond' over a hard lesson, or
when subject too grave to tackle alone
was given for an original essay" I'VE will
sadly miss her." laughed bright girl,
when our teams bals and we can by
neither coaXing nor threats make them
pull" Her musical attainments arc ac-
knowledged by both professors and the
community, and We confidently anticipate
4 brilliant report from the conservatory.
10 her friends she expresses the siEcerest
love. with deepest gratitude. and to The
GAZETTE her warmest friendship and pro-
found appreciation for its kind and chival-
rous bearing toward her in the contest.
Comparatively stranger and living in the
seclusion OF the study, her race has been
truly gratifying, both to herself and friends.
She says: THE GAZETTE, my friends and
Fort Worth shall not be ashamed of this
one modest representative, and with love
and thanks to all, farewell till come again,
with laurels for Texas and wreath
for THE GAZETTE for its noble work for the
Texas girls" Kindly, always,
