------o--
With one citizen voluntarily of-
fering |500, it does seem to us, that 1
the necessary steps should be taken
now toward a <ounty fair next fill.
The
ing.
and
the preliminary work toward ‘se cur-
ing the stock subgcriidions. We real-
ize the Chamber of Commerce is a
busy institution, itg directorate
composed-- of busy men—w hicb wag
primarily the reason for> their se-
lection. But one more labor on to
their shoulders will not be too
much, we are sure, especially when
itg result would be the establish-
ment of an institution of prime
importance to the welfare and up-
building of the county. Let s have
the fair. •
-dormitory and dining hall, for
which $125 000 is desired; a laun-
dry building, calling for an appro-
priation of $18,000, which alsor.In-
cludes the equipment, ami an appro-
‘Priation of $40,000 to complete the
main college building, the main
part of which was erected ten years
ago, but for w>iii<h the Legislature
has never made a supplemental -ap-
propriation for the completion ot
.the building. In setting forth the
'needs for these items the r*l,ort
says: ;The dormitory is the most
imperative and urgent need of the
college, because it is utterly impos-
sible to provide room for the large
number of students who seek ad-
mission." It is estimated that more
than 200 students have been unable
to gain admission this.year °n ac-
count of limited boarding facilities,
and the present dormitory with ac-
commodations for ninety-eight girls
now has 140 girls rooming there
and sixty others cbmiug to the dor-
mitory from inconveniently long
distances for their meals. The re-
l*»rt says: "Ther^ Is every reason of
health, protection, comfort, conven-
ience and social opportunity for
providing dormitories and some of
these overcome in analysis every
commercial or material reason that
can be presented for opposing the
system. ” |
The present laundry was located
in the basement of the State Dormi-
tory when tliat building *Waa erect-
ed and Hie report • in urging a’
separate building for the laundry
sets forth Zhe following reasons:
"In the first place the fire risk is
too great. While every precau-
tion, both night and day, is used to
Prevent fire, there is a constant
anxiety here on account of the great
fire risk resulting from the laundry.
The noisd from the machinery . is
also a source of great annoyance.
The constant grind of the machin-
ery. is nerye-racklng to all students
in that end of the building. Also,
with tile growth of the student
body, the amount of space in the
basement of the hall is too limited
for the increased amount of ma-
chinery that is required to do the
laundry 'work. Besides, the space
now consumed by the laundry is
sorely needed for rooms for stu-
dents,"
■ The comidetion of the main build-
ing is very’ much desired, not only
because of the unfinished effe t
that the building now presents, but
the wings would iielp to protect the
Part of the building already com.

an "appro: riution is sought' for this

Conclusion.
"We enter the new fiscal year
with the belief that the college is
• entering upon the greatest era in
its history. No college for women
was ever founded on a boarded ba-
sis than this one. The scope of its
work includes every sphere of use-
fulness open to women where intel-
ligence and preparation are de-
maiMed. ■ The 'present attendance
is sufficient evidence to any un-
prejudiced mind that nothing but
meagre appropriations and hostile
legislation can prevent its unpre-
cedented growth. All skepticism
about the wisdom of founding this
college as a separate institution has

Following the death of Major
Reubtn H. Bates, veteran of the
Civil war, Alex \V. Robertson, a
brother member of the U. C. V.’s,
was requested to write the war
record of Mr. Bates, and, incident-
ally, qf the company and regiment
with which he served until its dis-
banding in 1865 after the surren-
der of General Lee. The record
will probably be of general inter-
est, especially to the Confederate
veterans, and members of the four
Denton county companies
which the record deals.
The DeMorse ReKiment.
R. H. Bates enlisted in the Con- i
federate army at Denton* in the [
spring of 1862, tn Captain Kirby’s,
company, and a regiment was form*;
<d GlarKsvilie, Texas, in the fall of
the year. Mr Bates was in com-j
pany A theu, under the command
of Captain Tom \V. Daugherty of
Denton. Dr Kirby," the former
captain, had been made a regimen-
tal surgeon. Jasper Baker wag first
lieutenant, Albert Miller and W. J.
McNeill were second lieutenants,
and W. F. Egan of Denton was or-
derly sergeant. There were four com
panies in the regiment made up en-
tirely of Denton boys, and part ot
a fifth. T. W. Daugherty of Denton
wps captain of Company A; Matt
Daugherty, of Company E;' N Wil-
son of Pilot Point, of Company B;
W. H. Brown, of Company H; War-
rens of Pilot Point, of- Company K.
Charles DeMorse was colonek-of the
regiment, Otis G. Welch of Denton
wag Lieutenant Colonel and Joe A.
Carroll of Denton was Major. Leslie
DeMorse of Clarksville, where the
regiment was formed, was a son of
the colonel, and was adjutant.
Regiment Guards Indian Agencies.
The regiment was the Twenty*
ninth Texus Cavalry: it was earned
in Red River county and was drill-
ed and equip ed there during .be
winter of 18( 2 uud of 1863.-In the
spring the regiment went to old
Fort Arbuckle as guard for. some
commissioners v.ho were to * meet
the Comanche and Kiowa tribes of
Indians at the loyt for the purpose
of making a treaty with the Confed-
eracy for daf nse and offense
against the United States.
