N. l.. {. WALKER
IN GALVESTON
Delighted With the Indom-
table City BY the Sea-
Is Stuck on Texas.

Editor News:
On March 18th j. L. Beene.
my wife and | boarded the inter-
urban car here for Galveston,
Texas. a distance of about SO
miles. Travelled through some
ofthe prettiest country ] ever
laid my eyes on. Saw sweet
potatoes set and large herds of
cattle grazing on nicegrass fields,
looked as green as our fields in
May. Galveston is as nice a
looking town as | have ever been
in. Saw some of the large ships,
one especially will mention, it
being a battleship. two large
guns mounted on top. ] just
failed to step it. but ! think |
would be safe in saying 1t is
from two to three hundred feet
in length. It is certainly some
thing interesting tosee all those
ships anchored along the bay and
then just look as far as your
eyes can and not see anything
but water and blue sky. The
wind was blowing and the large
waves were running pretty high.
There were several people in
bathing the day we were there.
They would go out about waist
deep to meet the waves and as
large ones would come they
would jump up as the wave was
about to strike them. If they
failed to jump they would get
knocked down. One man came
very near getting drowned.
they had to lead him out.
4 told in my other letter about
this town, only not half. This is
going to be one Of the best towns
Of the state from what ! can
learn. They are now taking steps
to widen and deepen the bayou.
