Received Good Offer.

When Grayson College burned at
Whitewright about one month ago
Prof H. s.. Parsons, now teac hing
in Trinity University, was consider
ing a proposition to buy his former
interest in that institution. Since
the burn he has been offered life
position at $500 per year tc take a
faculty position" in the new stock
company organized to rebuild the
college. Amounts varying from
$75, 900 to $l50,00 have been offered
at Denison, Terrell, Mckinney, etc,
for the location of the new college.
Prof. Parsons thinks, however, that
he will not likely teach any more
after the close Of the present term.
He was not an applicant before the
board at it's recent meeting for re-
election to his present position in
Trinity University, He speaks of
going into business in the fall either
in Waxahachie, or Italy, his former
home.

Butler, known to our readers as
'tUncle Snort,p was burned to the
ground, together with most of his
household effects. The house caught
from an Incubator in q back room
and although it was early in the
night and only few members of the
family had retired the flames had
gained such headway before the fire
was discovered that they could not
be extinguished. Mr.. Butler and his
family had only time to save lew
beds and very little else. The loss
will amount to $1,000 to $1,000, with no
insurance.
