AUSTIN 'Spli — Texans have two
indeitendem-e days to observe.
These point baek to July the
Fourth. !77(i. to Independence Hall.
Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, and lo
the unfinished smithy shop a'
Washington. Texas, lifty years
later. No other state has such a
history. And this is a aood time
to recall that these dater. do not
mark the actual signing, but only
the ratification ol the historical
documents. The actual simiinii ol
the American Declaration did not
bee in until Any. 2. alter an engros-
sed copy had been prepared. The
one at Washington on the Brazos
was uaniinously approved by all
42 who were present on that dale.
The absentees however, came in
later and signified their approval
by signing the document as soon
as thev could.
There were .">9 sinners of the
Texas Declaration of Independence
and the Republic's Constitution.
States which have the honor ol be-
itii; the birthplace of one or more
of these hemes are. Alabama.
Arkansas. Florida. Georgia. Ken-
tucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts.
Mississippi. Veu Jersey. North
Carolina. South Carolina, and Ten-
nessee They were not only brave
men. but among them were those
who had held high positions in
other si ites before ttaeii migration
In Texas. Richard Ellis, the presi-
dent of the Constitutional Conven-
tion. was a former associate justice
of the Supreme Court of Alabama.
George Campbell Childress, the
author of the Texas Declaration of
Independence, was a brilliant law-
yer Irom Nashville, Tenn. A. II.
Latimer was an able lawyer and
a near relative of Hon Henry Lati-
mer. United States Senator from
Delaware. Sam Houston, the Com-
mander in Chief of the Texas Rev-
olutionary forces, and alterward
I-resident of the Texas Republic,
served in the Congress ol the Unit-
ed States Iront Tennessee, and was
once Governor of that great State.
Samuel I'. Carson, one of the
signers ol the Declaration ol in-
dependence. served for eight years
in the Congress of the United
States from North Carolina, as did
Robert Potter, al-. ol North Caro-
lina. Thomas J. Ru.-~k studied law
in the ollicc of John C. Calhoun
in South Carolina, and was aller-
v.ard Chief Justice of the Texas
Supreme Court and later United
Si *es Senator tmm Texas.
David G. Burnet, who although
not a delegate was there elected
Prestdint ad interim of the .He-1
public ol Texas. He was born in
Newark. New Jersey, and his
brothei . Jacob Burnet, wis a mem- j
Iter of the Supreme Court ot Ohio, i
and afterward United States Scna-
( lor Irom Ohio, atjd another brother
j was Mavor c; Cincinnati.
I Some members who also risked
; their necks had received very lit-
, tie schooling. One. a Texas born
1 Mexican from San Antonio, could ;
not speak or understand the Eng-
lish language But ail understood
; for Vhat purpose they were there.

From the moment a child first begins to enjoy the
"funnies," the hometown newspaper is an impor-
tant part oi his hie But even more important is the
opportunity it gives the young boy to find out what
it means to earn money for himself. The responsible
job of being a "paperboy" gives thousands of
youngsters their first independence. An irreplace-
able source of information and enjoyment, your
hometown newspaper is even more—it is an integral
