TEXAS

By J. M. HUGULEY

PLANO.—The church school opened with twenty-seven students. The attendance has increased to thirty-one. Miss Cora Taylor is teacher of the school. We have here the best church building in the State, being two-story high, and forty by twenty-eight feet. It is divided into two halls, one for school, the other for church. It is situated in the black lands of northern Texas, about seventy miles northeast of Keene, twenty miles northeast of Dallas, and two and one-half miles east of Plano. This portion of Texas is noted for its beauty and its healthful climate. A large part of the land is now covered with green wheat fields.

We own here about three hundred acres of this black land, which we are dividing into twenty-five-acre tracts, building houses on them, and inviting our people to rent, that they may make a living while their children attend school. In addition to this, we have about three hundred acres more, which we have rented. This also is occupied by our people, and is near enough for all to attend school. J. M. HUGULEY.
