FROM TARLETON •

Mr. W, K. Gordon, Thurber, Tex.
Dear Mr. Gordon:—“It is more
blessed to give than to receive,” is
a statement from Holy writ, yet the
authorities of John Tarleton college
have oertainly been made very glad
because of your generous and time-
ly gift. Thanks to you and your
company we now have enough
first class face brick to finish the
Mars ton Fine Arts building for J°hi
Tarleton college. We feel that
this act of generosity will proye
a great blessing to many young
people in Erath and surrounding
counties. Furthermore, we feel
that this spirit of giving manifest-
ed by you will inspire the citizen-
ship of Stephenville to wake up
and do greater things for the ool-
lege than it has ever done before
Helping an educational institution,
and especially one that belongs to
our county, should strongly appeal
to every progressive citizen of
Erath county who is able to give.
We, the authorities of the col-
lege, thank you most heartily for
your generous donation, and wish
for you and your company a very
prosperous future. Signed, F. S.
White, Pres, of board; Jas. F. Cox,
Pres, of college; John M. Cage,

prise.

A SWELL AFFAIR.

The concert given by the Steph-
enville orchestra Friday evening
was a swell affair in the way of
music, for it was high class in ev-
< iy particular, such music as one
with a cultured ear can appreciate.
Prof. Blallaro is the leader of the
orchestra, and under his tutelage
it has made phenominal progress.
The orchestra received valuable
assistance from the best vocal-
ists in the city, such as Mrs. Annie
Flinn and Miss Ethel Stephen, and
there were readings by Mrs. A. B.
Hays and Katie Pickard which were
highiy enjoyable. The hit of the^i
evening, however was the song by
Miss Stephen with an orchestral ac-
companiment. Prof. Ballaro, who
rendered a clarinett solo, was great,
and Creed Sauls’ role of buck and
wing dancer, set the audience into
frenzied laughter. The attendance
