DECORATION BAT.
The day, the 17th last, at this plaoa
was observed in the uhu*1 meaner The
Ladies Cemetery naeqeiation had made
all the necessary1 preliminary arrange-
ments, and at 4 o’clock a large aud-
ience assembled at the Methodist
church to bear the address of Hon. U.
M. Garwood of Bastrop.The choir com-
posed of Mrs. Mary Pearl, who pre-
sided at the organ, Misses Sidonia
Prsatorius, Lee KiUougU, Lillie and
Little Moore,Augusta aud Dora Will-
enberg, Ora Cox, Bettlo Schuhmacher,
Prof. F. I>. Docherd And Messrs. A. M.
Hill amd E. L. Dry, sang a chorus,
•‘Lord of the worlds above;” prayer by
Rov. J. T. Browning; solo, • by Miss
Sidonia PraUirius. After which Judge
Garwood was introduced to the aud-
ience by Mr. N. M. Williams. The
Judge’s address was not lengthy, but
it was very appropriate 16 the occasion
and highly interesting. He spoke ex-
temporaneously without notes, his dic-
tion beiug chaste and ornate.
At the conclusion of the address the
choir sang an anthem: “Hark 1 What
mean those Holy voices.” The beno-
dictiou was then pronounced by Rev.
Browning and tho large assemblage
filed out of the church aud formed a
procession and marched to the ceme-
tery, headed by the Fayette Light
Guard wllh reversed arms. Arriviug
at the city of the dead the work of
strewing flovvors and evergreens upon
the graves of departed kiusmeu and
friends was completed and all quietly
returned to their respective homes.
And thus ended the Eleventh anni-
versary ceremonies of the Ladies Cem-
etery association of LaGrango.

Flatonia Letter.
Eintor or Journal:—
Perhaps, la my criticism of the lilt-
erality of the committee appointed by
the commissioners court in maklug au
allowance fbr the services of the court
house condemning committee, I did
Mr. Robert Allert, of this place au
Injustice. Ilo tolls me that he would
have been satisfied with his expeutee
beiug paid, but if he had made charge,
which he did not, it would not have
been over $6 per day. 1 have siuce
learned that Mr. Gordon’s — Thb
Journal presumes the writer refers
to Mr. Bacrey—name as supervising
architect appears on the “Blue Book,”
at $6 per day. 1 do not suppose hit
services (or any other inau’s) Is worth
more tn the same capacity to Fayette
county than to the United Stales.
What does The Journal think of
the suggestion of building tbo new
courthouse on ground above overflow?
All the men 1 nave talked with agree
with me ou that point. It seems to me
that in face of the fact, well knowu to
the commissioners court, that the loc-
ality of the preseut courthouse, is iu
the overflowed district, to build the
the new one on the same square will,
knowing that its very existence would
be jeopardized from the moment it
was finished, would be a reckless dis-
regard of common sense aud the inter-
ests of the tax-payers, for whioh there
cau be no apology.
R. O. Faikkh.
Referring to tho foregoing commun-
ication 'rtns Journal will state that it
has learned from the geutlemou com-
posing the committee that conferred
with the experts iu rogard to their
compensation, that they merely re-
ported to the court the conversation
which took place between them aud
those gentlemen, and did not recom-
mend what should be allowed them;
that the court basing its conclusions
on the report of that conversation fix-
ed the compensation.
Iu regard to the location of the new
courthouse The Journal concurs
with the writer,aud thinks it would be
a serious blunder to build it where it
would be subject to inundation. But
that is a matter iu regard to which
people disagree. It is contended, by
persons who profess to know, that La
Grange is subject to overflow no long-
iy. in proof of this it is alleged tliat
iu 1869 the town was undor water,
Avhile in 1870, when the second fl od
came, the water was as high below and
above LaUraugo as it was in 1869 but
at LaUrange it lacked from 12 feet to
14 foot being as high, aud the town
escaped being inundated. When asked
for au explanation of this singular fact
they say that a few miles below La
Grange theie was an island, covered
with timber and undorgrowth, which
impeded tho How of tho water and
caused it to “back up” sufficient to
spread over LaGrnuge; that this island
with its timber and undergrowth was
washed away by tho Hood of 1869,
hence it was not there iu 1870 to ob
struct the How of the water, and La
Grange was spared a second overflow.
The Journal gives this as it receiv
ed it. Whether tho theory be truo or
not it is not prepared to say, but must
confess that it seems very plausible.
No one, it is to bo presumed, would
favor the erection of tho new building
on tho site of tho old one, if they
thought there was auy probability of
its ever being invaded by au overflow
of the river.
But it is a foregone conclusion that, if
built at ad, it will be whero tho pres-
ent courthouse stands, albeit there Are
many citizens of LaGrange, who would
not object to seeing it erected iu some
other part of the city.
Railroad Matters.
Mr. A. T. Bradshaw, who lias been
in communication with certain parties
at Brenhom, iu regard to the contem-
plated railroad to connect lliiutsville
aud thiB place, received the following
letter from Mr. J. N. Brown,of Brou-
ham, Monday:
A. T. Braiishaw, Esq.,
LaGranob, Texas.
Dear Sir:
Yours of tho 19th and 20th insts. re-
ceived. I wrote you on Saturday that
tho meeting iu the interest of tho rail
road would be held on Wednesday
next. Hope your city will send a good
delegation. Huntsville and Navasot.a
will be represented. Our people arc
very much interested in this move-
ment. Very Truly.
J. N. Brown, for committee.
In accordance with the request of the
writer, Messrs. W. 8. Robson and Neal
Robison left Tuesday, to attend the
meeting at Brenham and represent La
Grauge.Wheu they return The Journ-
al will be able to obtain the result of
the meeting and next wook give its
readors something tangible iu refer-
ence to the proposod road.
—The readors of The Journal are
referred to the advertisement of the
Lotcria do la Beuofiecncia l’ublica, of
Zacatecas, Mexico, which appears un-
der the head of now advertisements.
This lottery was chartered by tho Mex-
ican Congress January 8,1889 aud has
been iu operation nbout a year. It
claims to distribute over a half million
monthly. The drawings occur on the
27th of each month. Juan Piedad of
Zacatecas is manager, to whom all
communications should be nddressod.
—Two accidents occurred on the T.
B. & II. railroad last week in which
two men, both colored, wero severely
injured. One was injured at this place
the other at Hills prario, Bastrop coun-
ty. The one hurt hore had his foot
crushed by the car wheel. It was am-
putated by Dr. W. W. Lunn, assistod
by Dr. Ed. Lunn, near the ankle. The
one at Hill’s prarie, it is reported, had
both legs cut oti'aud was doing as well
at last accounts ns could be expected,
as is the case with the one hore.
— TO NT SISTKB AND
Rev. Isaac and Mrs. Eugenia Sailers,
of Georgetown, Tmu, on the
26th Anniversary of their wedding day.
Five and twenty years have vanished
Since you, then so young, and fair,
Vowed to walk life’s rugged pathway,
Bulb, iu joy and grief to share.
All the future, tilled with sunshine,
Nut a cloud upon your sky,
E’en eech rift was hidden from you,
Love presided, sweet and shy.
LeU look backward, memory’s faithftd,
Tho' the years have sped away
Hinoe you stood, a bride and bridegroom,
On that joyous, wedding day.
And your face with love’s light gleaming
Conies to me, through all the yean,
As our Mother kissed and blessed you.
Smiling on you through her tears.
Time's Unger marks have left a trace
Upon each youthful tmrw,
And silver threads have found a place
Amidst the brown ones now.
But hearU that boat for each alone,
Love illumes and keeps them fair
Spite of footsteps, wearied grown,
Faded cheek and silvered hair.
Look around you, sons and daughters,
“God" hath given, good and fair,
Looking in their bright young faces.
Smile to see each others there
True griefs shadowy form hath lingered,
Hound your hearts sad memories cling,
Yet purest thoughts, and aspirations
From your suffering spirits spring.
Though, the friends who gathered there,
Scattered now and far away,
May not come again to greet thee
On your anniversary day.
Let each tender memory whisper
Of the love they bear for thee,
Like the soft, sweet notes of vesper,
Fill thy soul with melody.
There is one, who will be with you,
Tho’ you may not see her there,
Feel her kiss upon your forehead,
And her hand caress your hair.
She, upon whoso breast we slumbered,
And whose heart oe’rflowod with love,
Know then Bister, t’is our Mother,
Whom the “Angels” bore above.
May our “Mother’s” cure uphold you,
Blessing you as seemeth best,
Then His loving arm enfold you,
When he calls you home to rest.

THE BOAS QUESTION.
George Hauer, Rutersville, ’
and Ranch.
In Farm
▲a the above question is the moat
important to farmers of Texaa and the
public generally, and boa boon argued
through Texas Farm aud Rauch aud
other paper* throughout the slate, l
will give my views ou the matter.
lat. The present road law is no
good. It has outlived itself; It ia au
unjust law: it tax os the cilizeus un-
equally and there will never be go.id
roads built under it.
ltd. The largest portion of our state
has arrived at that point where good
roads are a necessity as well as rail-
roads—aud even more so. Groat loaa
has accrued to the farmers of Texas
ou acoount of bad roads because tboy
could not get thoir produce to market
when they could have got the highest
prices, besides, ibe wear and tear ou
wagou aud team aud loss of time lias
never been estimated aud uever can
be Therefore tho farmers of Texas
should demand of our next legislature
to arneud the road law iu such way
that the people cau build permanently
good roads in oourae of lime, if I lie
uext legislature fails to do anything in
the matter, it is ihe fault of tho people,
for not seudiug the right inun to the
legislative hulls. We neod practical
men there, who know something about
the needs and demands of the farmers.
Do away with tho present road law
entirely, aud leave it to the different
counties to solve the question, raise
the fuuds necessary by poll aud ud
valorem tax aud have the roads work
ed aud built by hired labor, well sup-
erintended, aud under the control of
the commissioners’ courts, aud iif
course of time wc will havo. good
roads. As a member of Ihe commis-
sioner’s court of Fayette county, I
wish to state iu conclusion what our
court has done in building roads for
the last six months. With tho aid of
citizens iti labor, wagons, teams, and
money we have had graded aud grav-
eled over two miles of the worst roads
in tho county, and put iu such condi-
tion that they will be good roads for
the next generation to travel on, if
takeu caro of. Every stranger travel
ing ovor the roads pronounces them
the best iu tho state, outsido of the ci-
ties, and if Fayette couuty had funds
to keep the work up, it would not be
inauy years until all tho first-class
roads ai least were in a good travel-
ing condition all the year rouud.
