Among the most popular visitors
to Austin during the encampment
are Miss Maud Willacy of Portland,
Texas, and Miss Christina Beggs of
Fort Worth. The former is sponsor
for the Governors staff and the
latter her maid Of honor The Young
ladies are guests of Mrs. W. G. Bell

to the encampment grounds daily
to "report for duty" Both have
visited Austin on former occasions
and are very popular with Austin's

King Albert Chooses Brownsville
Rice-A German Brewery.

The following letter was receiv-

in type, but crowded out. Al
though the writes has returned the
letter will prove of great interest.
New Orleans, La. Aug. %, 1903.
Hotel Denechand.
Ny Dear Mr.. Wheeler
Mr. Markham has Just shown me
THE HERALD for July "a, in which
you state that say that THE
HERALD is very popular paper in
London and there is great demand
for it there" This is not putting
it quite strong enough, for so great
is the demand for THE HERALD in
London that l went to No. 60, then
No. 20 Newgate one morning in
curing for it and they told lie
they hadn't single copy left.
Earl after my arrival some
rumors were current in
that the rice crop at
Brownsville was a failure and the
price advanced to such height in
consequence that Curry 81 Rice was
struck off all the menusl at the
hotels and clubs.
l understand on very good
authority that King Edward has
given special instruction that no
other than Brownsville rice is to be
used for the royal table.
When 1 left England a large
syndicate was being formed to buy
up all the available land on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande for
purposes, and it is stated
that about 10000 English families
are arranging to emigrate there.
A great number of people inquir
ed of me about Brownsville, but the
fact that there are no available
houses for rent initiates very con-
against desirable persons
going out to make their homes
there.
Ny brother-in-law writes me
from Germany that large brewing
firm there has decided to start
brewery in the vicinity OF Browns
vile, probably at Wheelerville, if
there shall be such a place named,
On one of your new lines of rail-
roads. q
l hope to be with you early next
week and shall be quite interested
in seeing the electric lights in the
streets, the waterworks, the street
cars and other improvements which
heard in London have been in
,tituted since l left.
With kindest regards, | remain,
Your friend, DIR. Nv. KIRKHAM.
