Dallas, Texas, May 12.—Spry old
civil war veterans to the number of
25 have asked for horses to ride in
the parade of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans here next week. The
annual reunion of the veterans, start-
ing Tuesday, Miay 19, will bring a
number of former members of For-
est’s Cavalry, which won fame for
daring during the conflict between
the States. About 25 of these have
asked the committee in charge for
horses. Cavalry mounts from Fort
Worth and Dallas will be supplied.
Colonel W. W. Gantt of Crystal
Spring, Miss., adjutant general of the
Mississippi Division, U. C. V., who
is here making preparations for his
division, stated some of the old cav-
alry men can ride as well as ever,
and will much prefer to have mounts
than to ride in automobiles.
The comfort of the veterans, none
of whom is younger than 78, is the
greatest concern of the arrangements
committee. Plans were made today
ot erect a tent 60 by 100 feet, at
Union Station, in which to register
the old comrades with dispatch and
ease. There will be 12 entrances
to the tent so that the veterans can
form 12 lines before the registration
clerks. With 24 clergs, it is expected
the registration can be disposed of
in much shorter time than usual,
thus saving the old men the fatigue
of standing. The veterans will step
from their trains directly into the
registration tent, where they will be
given badges and assigned to their
rooms.
The members of the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans will register at a
local hotel.

ini, Ga., commander-in-chief, an-

West Columbia journeyed to Gulf,
down in Matagorda County, last Sun-
day land proceeded to take such a
lead in the first two innings that the
game never was in doubt, though on .
the whole, it was a fair exhibition of
base ball as played on the sand lots,
neither team playing first-class ball.
At that the game had a few fea-
tures, among them being Drake’s
home-run in the 6th with two men
on bases; the batting of McMurray,
of West Columbia, and Serrill, of
Gulf, the former getting 3 out of four
trips to the pan, including one two-
bagger, and the latter getting four
hits out of five times at bat, includ-
ing two two-baggers; two double
plays by Gulf; Krause’s playing in
center for West Columbia; Groves’
misjudging a fly to left, in the 6th,
the first time in five years, so-stated;
and errors by both teams.
Errors at the proper time help to
lose any old ball game. Gulf made
9 and West Columbia tried to keep
from being outdone, but fell short
by making just 5 that the score-keep-
er^ chalked up. Weir yielded 10
hits to Gulf, issued 4 passes and
struck out 6; land Fimble and Dodd
for Gulf yielded—or West Columbia
took—have it your way, 15 hits, 4
passes, and also struck out 6.
The game by innings follows:

and on slow fielding wound up at
home plate scoring Lamb and Badge
ahead of him. McMurray also knock-

judge properly and which after the
mispudgment was good for 3 bases,
but McMurray jogged along and stop-
ped at second. Serrill and Lawhon

Murray taking third. Krause ground-

sur-
The death of Mrs. Bosl has
brought great grief to this city and
She had devoted much of
her time to civic and school affairs
and was held in rffectionate esteem
by the entire community.
Mrs. Bosl, who was Miss Janie
Stewart of Alleytown, represented
two pioneer families of Colorado
County. Her mother was a member
of the LeTulle family.
Editors Note: Mrs. Bosl was a
daughter of Mrs. Suvie Stewart, of
this city.
Yes, Mr. Merchant, it is a fact
that the peddler and the mail order
houses constitute your worst “thorn
in the flesh,” and it is serious. But
there’s one thing about it perhaps
you don’t know, and that is the mail
order houses, and they handle every-
thing from a tooth-pick to a tractor,
(and groceries, too), know better
than you know every town in the
United States where the merchants
are asleep and do not advertise. If
you will start now with energetic
advertising, keep at it and take your
people into your confidence, within
twelve months you will have wiped
out all of 50 per cent of this evil
that is threatening your business.
Your whereas-ing and resolutions
never have any effect on these peo-
ple. They are smooth business men,
shrewd and widd awake and have
the best legal talent obtainable for
just these very things. The longer
your resolution, the more they will
laugh at you. Wake up! Take
your people into your confidence. Ad-
vertise and stay with it if you want
results.—Bay City Tribune.
The Spectator thoroughly agrees
with the Tribune when it states that
advertising and not resolutions is
what keeps home business with the
home merchants—and we are glad to
say that a goodly percentage of the
Wharton merchants are 'advertisers.
They are served weekly by one of the
best papers in the state, that boasts
a circulation of which other country
Less business
goes out of Wharton now than has
case and this
is because °ur merchants have come
to the realization that they must
either ask for business or see it go
out .of the city to some mail order
And yet, there are still
those who maintain that advertising
is not what they need to make their
business better than it is. If it were
not for these who do not and will
not advertise, practically all of the
business of this community could be
kept where it belongs—in Wharton.
Advertising is a great game and it
must be played consistently to bring
results. When the farmer or the
local man can take his home paper
and see where he can buy the same
merchandise that is offered in his
mail order catalog as cheap or even
cheaper in Wharton than he can in
the mail order centers, then will he
patronize his home merchant. It is
;a poor business man who will storm
around about people buying else-
where when he refuses to advertise
his goods.—Wharton Spectator.
