I'm AND ABOUT
FORT WORTH.
RICHES ANp ,sNowLEpon.

This poetic gem is from the pen OF
sMr. Clarence Ousley, editor or the
Galveston Tribune, and one OF the
abiest contributors to the southern
press. II is clipped from the Kansas
( City Star:
On the shore of mighty ocean,
Tapping the red old earth
From the everlasting mountains
Giving Its currents birth,
10 the time-girt waste OF waters
Ebbing away for aye
AT the close OF dag In Autumn
l watched the ships go by.
There was no one that rode in splendor
Dashlng n silver spray,
All her spars were tipped with jewels
Flashing the light OF day;
And the sunset made her masthead
CLEAN like n golden crown
Mid her calls snow white and sllken.
Hank! 1.-THE ships gone DOWN.
Cry the boatmen In the harbor.
Buried beneath the wave
The wreckers snatch her treasure
Where breakers mark her grave.
There was one that moved in grandeur,
Flowing sturdy way,
And the lamp on her masthead gleam-
ing
shone as the light OF day.
Mid her sails all weatherbeaten.
Harkl THE ships gone DOWN.
Cry the boatmen in the harbor--
All but her lamplt crown;
And there on her pillows floating.
Quenchless. Il shines for aye.
White the people reap her treasures
And ships go riding by.

Wherever minstrelsy is known that
immense cave-liltc mouth of Billy
Kersands never fails to draw crowd;
last night was no exception In spite
Of the mud the theater was well hlled
by an audience which thoroughly en-
Joyed the performance. The famous
Georgia Ministries have been reorgan

members OF this genuine negro troupe
are now with the company but 1t still
contains some good men. Billy Kerr
sands was as ready as ever to display
that enormous mouth which has won
him his great reputation. The speciali-
~ work of Hlllman, Moore and Kemp
was good and the fancy balancing of
Jalvnn worthy OF praise but as a
hand balancer and equillbrlst Fort
Worth has seldom seen the equal of
Craig. whose work was truly remarlsa-

The singing was very fair. one of the
best voices being that OF IL, 5. Wooten
