Card Of Thanks
The Herald is requested by
the members of Company I.
of the Confederate Veterans,
to express their appreciation
and gratitude for the royal
manner in which they were
entertained here on July 22nd,
and to thank every one, in-
dividually and collectivly, tor
having made it possible for
them to meet and enjoy the
comradeship of each other
again.
They further desire to let
it be known that on 110 prev-
ious occasion were they exten-
ded more courtesies or a hart-
ier welcome than at the Alto
reunion.
The ever enterprising firm
of Perkins & Morris is hav-
ing improvements made in
the interior of their store,
which together with the re-
ceipt of a big lot of new goods
gives reason to believe they
are preparing for a big busi-
ness this fall.
Mrs. S. D. Botzler, who has
been here for the past week
in the interest of the Macca-
bees left Tuesday for Long-
view. The work of getting
up an organization was left
in charge of Miss Lester
Quarles b y Mrs. Botzler,
who will return after a week
or sv to rssuu;s llxe work.
The world is divided into
two classes of people — one
that believes in doing as they
please, and letting others do
as they please; another that
believes in doing as they
please aud forbidding the oth-
er to enjoy the same privi-
lege. The first mentioned
seldom start trouble; the sec-
ond not only start all the tro-
uble they c.iu, but keep it go-
ing. Andrew Jackson had
this in mind when he said
that eternal vigilence is the
price of liberty. What a tra-
vesty upon justice it is—to
say noththiug of God's will—
that mau must buy his liberty
with his blood? But liberty is
worth it. What a strange
thing it is that God gives us
liberty as a divine right,
while man is constantly try-
ing to rob his fellow-man of
that which is God-given.—
