while birds Carol their merry notes
ushering in bright and beautiful
springtime. which makes all nature
rejoice.
Mr. Quebedeaux, sr., who has
been in Austin for some time, is
here visiting his son, our worthy
postmaster.
Madams Neely and Franks, Of
Moulton Institute, were visiting
here this week.
Ye Anxious made flying trip to
the Alamo city last week and visit
ed historic places of the city among
them the sacred Alamo building
and fort where the precious blood
of my forefather was spilled and
his body, together with his COM
panions, so ruthlussly burned by
the overwhelming foe. Obi such
horrible feelings as overcame the
writer on entering these prison-likc
walls, which need no descriptive
details, as many Of your readers
have visited the Inflated building,
viewing the rooms where the mar
tvs were domiciled during the
siege. The sacred spot where their
gallant leader, Col w B Travis,
stood while drawing the line of
death. Here are the sacred names
embIazed in large letters on BAN
ners showing the very spot where
those brave men, Travis, Bowie
and Crockett, stood the last hours
of their life The large tomb where
the bodies of Monks of centuries
go lie buried. All within these
walls have a sad, death like APP
pearance. This is the spot where
the monument bearing the names Of
those heroes should stand instead Of
at the capitol building at Austin.
A fund is being raised to erect q
suitable shaft costing 100000, but
of slow progress. Only about SIS,
600 has been raised. By the time
the other three-fourth ofthe amount
is raised the century will have
closed, which we feel will obscure
all interest. From here we go to
the San Pedro Springs, where we
see many sights, The geological
garden and the museum of pre-
historic relics afford great instruct
ion and amusement for all ages.
We then drove to Government Hill
and viewed the mound where all
that remains of the great statesman
and orator, Hon Slelcher, repose,
covered by towering shaft erected
by his friends and constituents.
The author of this work made
mention of similar one being
erected in the near future in honor
of Il like statesman, Hon. w. Fl.
Grain, who but recently fell, serv-
ing his country and friends. Every
grave in this city of the dead is
well cared for, regardless of nation
ality. After spending a pleasant
time with friends Of old we heard
the whistle of the approaching lo-
comotive. Bidding friends adieu
we FASTENED on boort the train for
home ANXIOUS

REiTTIFYING HOLY TRINITY en- Ken.

THE REPAIRS WHICH HAVE BEEN GOING on THIS
SUMMER ALMOST COMPLETED
HOLY Trinity Church has been undergoing repairs
this summer which are now practically completed
All tho work has been done except the finishing or
tho glass windows, and the brightness ana
freshness Of the paint on the outside WOODWORK
affords a contrast to the SON bre brown stone Inc
kalsomning and painting inside the chutch anu 'ne
chapel have been finished. and the work when re-
,noirs n he done is In the way Of protecting the
stained glass windows This IS being accomplished
bv putlng plain glass on the outside of the windows
over the stained glass. When this Is done the
church will be in perfect condition. The building
has been thoroughly ovcrhauled.
The repairs have not interfcred with the work Of
the church. and services have been held there
throughout the summer In the hot weather only
one service was held on Sunday. The rector. the
Rev DR. Mcconnell is expected to return about the
middle OF the month and assume charge Of the
church again He has been spending most of his
vacation at Watch ill., but has lately been In
Maine.
one question which will confront DR.. Mcconnell
upon his return will be the vacancy In the as
slstant rectorship. The Rev. Mr.. Russells nten-
ton to take a postgraduate course in Columbia
University been known for several months, and
IL has been known that in that case he would be
obliged to resign. He has. however. been perform
ing his duties through the summer. and did not go
away his vacation until September l. Whether
he Will return or not Is not certain Lyman X
Greene, one OF the vestrymen. said yesterday that
he did not know what Mr. Russells Intentions were
but II he did return 1t would not be for long IA
he had decided to take his post graduate course In
Columbia this year. The question OF who shall be
his successor has not yet been discussed. This
rests entirely with DR. Mcconnell who has not yet
indicated any preference 1t is probable. however
that a choice Will be made soon.
