These institutes are farmers'
meetings devoted to the upbuild-

that farmers bring their fami-
lies and devote, at least, «ne day
to a careful study and discussion
of the agricultural questions
which lie nearest their hearts.

Whereas, it is the purpose of
our organization to provide re-,
unions and social gatherings for
the families and friends of our
membership, and to aid in per-
petuating such facts as will give
to posterity a correct under-
standing of the causes that led
up to the war of 1861-65, the en-
vironments of the Conferedate
States, and the privations endur-
ed and the valor displayed by
her armies and navies;
And whereas, during the past
twenty-six years we have car-
ried out those purposes to our
satisfaction, and now, as we
look into the western horizon
of life, we feel the necessity of
providing means and ways for
the perpetuation of our reun-
ions and the caring for our
grounds,
And whereas, we have confi-
dence in the valor and patriot-
ism of our sons and daughters
and faith in their organizations
as auxiliaries of our Camp,—
Now therefore,
Be is Resolved, 1st. That it
is the wish of this Camp, to turn
the management and control of
our reunion grounds over to our
sbns and daughters as organiza-
tions ;—
2nd. That the Board of Di-
cectors be fully empowered, and
they are hereby fully authorized
to make such transfer as to
them may seem best and under
such conditions as they may
name;—
3rd. That when such trans-
fer has been made by said Board
of Directors, then it shall only
be necessary for the controlling
Board to make written accept-
ance of said trust and file same
with the Adjutant of Joseph E.
Johnston Camp No. 94 of Con-
federate Veterans to make same
binding and complete.
On motion, a donation of $50
each to the Adjutant and Quar-
termaster and $20.00 to the Of-
ficer of the Day was made. Mo-
tions carried thanking the
Mexia Band for good music and
behavior while in Camp, to the
Ladies and Mr. Anderson for ice
cream and cake and to Priddy

Notwithstanding all the draw-
backs of the occasion, we had a
pleasant Reunion much enjoyed
by all present. Let it be stated
right here, that our Reunions
are never postponed under any
circumstances.
All business finished, on mo-
tion, Camp adjourned.

Austin, Texas, Aug. 7.—The
Hogg Organization recently em-
ployed W. A. Trenckman, editor
of Das Wochenblatt, as Corre-
sponding Secretary, to make a
study of higher institutions of
learning in Iowa, Kansas, Ne-
braska, Minnesota, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and
Missouri. The results of Mr.
Trenckman's studies will be fur-
nished the Texas press for pub-
lication, and promise a series of
articles of much interest to Tex-
as readers. Especial emphasis
will be laid in these articles on
conditions in the states visited
which bear most directly on the
educational situation in Texas.
Mr. Trenckman is a graduate
of the A. & M. College of Texas,
served that institution as chair-
man of its board of regents for
a number of years; was a mem-
ber of the Texas legislature for
several terms, and has been a
I t'e-long student of institutions
f higher education in Texas.
The first of Mr. Trenckman's
series of articles will appear dur-
ing the latter part of August.
He is now in Kansas pursuing
his investigations.
1. We, the students and the
faculty of the Limestone County
Summer Normal, wish to ex-
press our thanks to the Board of
Regents, and to the faculty of
Westminster College for the
use of the building.
2. We desire to express our
thanks to the good people of
Tehuacana for their hospitality
and kindness during our stay in,
their little city.
3. We wish to express our
thanks to the good peop-e with
whom we boarded. \
4. We also wish to extend
our thanks to Mr. Geo. W. Win-
ningham for making Normal re-
ports to the Mexia Herald and
the Groesbeck Journal.
5. Be it resolved that we

Rub a little Hunt's Lightning

They indicate low vitality and
often lead to serious Throat and
Lung Troubles, including Con-
sumption. Dr. King's New Dis-
covery will relieve the cough or
cold promptly and prevent com-
plications. It is soothing and
antiseptic and makes you feel
better at once. To delay is dan-
gerous—get a bottle of Dr.

gist.
