JAOKSBORO, TEXAS, THURSDAY EVENING
stockings to guard against dust—
a common practice with Confed-
erate infantry. The figure repre-
sents, the soldier after the surren-
der, is without military arms and
accouterments, impressive in its
silent dignity, easy and natural in
its pose, and readily conveys the
In addition to
of bold outlines, are the words:
“ Confederate Dead.” The upper
base is adorned with a series of
rich moldings, and on the front
of one them, cut in raised and
polished letters of bold outlines,,
are the words: “ Confederate
Dead.” The die of the monument
is made of one massive stone, the
dimensions being 6 feet 1 inch
square by 2 feet 10 inches high,
and has re-entering angles, which
are filled with groups of cluster
columns, terminating in richly
carved Romanesque caps. On
the front side, north face, the fol-
lowing inscription is worked in
incised letters upon a polished
panel: “Erected to the memory
of the six thousand Southern sol-
diers, here buried, who died in
Camp Douglas Prison, 1862-5.”
On the other three sides are
placed artistic bronze panels.
That on the east represents the
“ Call to Arms ” at the beginning
of the Confederacy and is a strik-
ing scene, relating the story at a
glance. Figures representing
men in various conditions of life
—the laborer, artisan and profes-
sional man—are depicted as they
are hastening from their labors,
encouraged by their wives and
daughters, to enroll themselves
beneath the Southern battle cross,
for the “call” has gone forth
throughout the length and breadth
of the South. Many a grizzled
veteran, gazing at this sculptured
bronze picture in these later and
quieter days, will mentally recall
the beginning of the arduous
struggle which has no parallel in
history.
The panel on the west repre-
sents “ The Lost Cause.” In the
j foreground of the medallion is an
unarmed Confederate soldier, in
rude and picturesque garb, lean-
ing on a hickory staff cut .on his
return from the “front,” whose
attitude reveals deep dejection;
he is gazing upon a dismantled
log cabin and sorrowfully think-
ing of the past; the broken door
lies extended across the desert-
ed threshold, part of the roof
has been carried away by a round

the bronze panels, carvings, etc.,
cannon balls piled as military
emblems on the angels of the sec-
ond base greatly add to the ef-
fect, and the total height of the
monument, including the statue,
is 36 feet 6 inches.
The monument was designed by
General John C. Underwood, the
Southern officer in command of
the Northern Divisions of the
United Confederate Veterans,
with Louis R. Fearn as delineat-
ing architect.
THE DEMOCRATIC
Executive Committee Decided
that the Silver Question
Should be Referred to
the Party in the
Regular Way.
The State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee at its recent
meeting in Dallas adopted the
following resoluti ons:
1. We the state Democratic
executive committee, recognize
the fact that the pending issue on
the financial question is one of
the gravest, most important and
far reaching questions ever pre-
sented to Democrats for decision.
2. The issue is upon us and
will be discussed and the gravity
of the question demands that as
much time be devoted to the
I discussion thereof as is consistent
| with reason and good judgment,
to the end that said question may
be properly understood, therefore
be it
Resolved, that it is the sense
of this committee that the ques-
tion as to whether the Democrats
of this state favor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, or whether they
are opposed to the same, will and
shall be submitted to the Demo-
cratic voters of the entire state
at such time as this committee
may determine, and that said
question be so submitted in. the
same primary election m which
I delegates are selected to the us-
ual conventions.
3. That ire urge upon all Dem-
ocrats to be conservative and
conduct the discussion as be-
| comes good and loyal Democrats
and thus prevent disintegration
of the Democratic party, which
is now and bseafcM
party of the peoftle, the safeguard
of the constitu||jcjR::i^:-^gMpM^l
I ment and the lamfjjgsfk of the lib- j
erties of the ffijjiiffiiri peopled
And in order to still further se-
cure harmony and good feeling,
we recommend and would express
our determination that the state
convention for the nomination of
candidates for offices shall be at a
time subsequent to the meeting
of the national Democratic con-
vention in which national conven-
tion our state Bhall be represent-
ed by delegates only selected as
aforesaid, and we recommend that
all Democrats submit to the de-
but if he cisiou made by the national Dem-
oes. j ocratic convention.
And further, we adhere to the
time honored custom of Demo-
crats to declare in convention
assembled the doctrines and prin-
ciples that shall govern them as
such. Dudley, W. 0. Wear, E. P.

In Men’s and Boys’ftjjl
V&jle iQ St. Louis some time
ago I wrote the boys that I had
“struck” some bargains in the
way of Clothing, Dress Goods,
etc. When I came home.I found
that my letter, together with some
invoices and a few goods which
had been received, had created
considerable excitement in the
store. The boys said they never
saw anything like it before and
rushed to the papers to tell the
people about it, but in their hurry
and excitement they omitted some
of the best bargains I had capt-
ured. For instance, they failed
to mention a “job ” in
A Creditable Record.
The report of the Commissioner
of Insurance of the State of New
York for the year of 1894 has just
been submitted to the legislature
of that state for approval.
To many readers of this paper
who are policy holders in The Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of
New York this report is valuable
and interesting.
The magnificent financial state-
ment made by this sterling and
grand old company for 1894 is
still fresh in the minds of our
readers and followed as it now is
by such a favorable report from
the Commissioner of Insurance
it is doable interesting.
It must also be reassuring and
a source of pride to many policy
holders of this company in Texas
to see its splendid showing and
also be a valuable point to con-
sider for those contemplating in-
suring their lives.
The following we quote from
the New York times of May 13th:

Pierce says: ‘ Since my last annu-

amination has been very great.
