have given this seaside resort, and those
| who have taken your advice and visited
! this section have had but ono thing to say:
"The Post is surely right when it says
this is the most delightful place 10 visit
In Texas"
Two miles below La Porte Is Morgan
Point. This place. as all old settlers KNOW
is the coolest and most attractive on the
bay shore. IL is an old landmark. and
only few years ago, whore you now see
fine and commodlous cottages. there was
vast wilderness, there being but the
marked point OF the old Morgan homestead
and Captain Ford Alln's nice house on the
hill. OF course the Old shpyarGs OF the
Houston Direct Navigation company mada
everything appear lively, in those days
over where now is termed the island,
which is now owned by Mrs. John AtlSin-
son. Nothing can be seen there now, where
the docks were, except the dilapidatcd
