the proposed building $207,500

camp will aid in the movement in
every possible way.
The plans at present are to se-
cure the funds during the com-
ing year to erect a handsome
monument located in the court
house yard on the publio square.
Plans as to the details of the
monument, of course, are in-
ohoate now and will depend fin-
ally upon the amount of funds
secured for the purpose. The
decision in regard to the monu-
ment was made at a meeting of
the local ohapter of Daughters
last week and a committee from
Sul Ross camp attended the
Daughters’ meeting to offer the
camp’s assistance.
It is expeoted to raise at least
$2,000 for the purpose, it was
stated Monday. Both subscrip-
tions will be solicited over the
county and entertainments and
benefits given by the looal chap-
ter toward raising that amount
and already promises of liberal
subscriptions have been re-
ceived. While, as stated, no
definite plans have been formu-
lated, a majority of the members
of the chapter desire a monu-
ment bearing an heroic size Con-
federate infantryman.
It is a fact little known that
Denton county gave 1,200 sol-
diers to the Confederate cause,
practically every able-bodied
man in the oounty at the time
enlisting at one time or another
during the war. And it is urged
that this fact among others
would make a monument to the
Confederate dead of the county
an especially fitting tribute from
I the present-day oitizens, the very
! great majority of whom are

Post-8ignal:
This 20tn of November is my
birthday. I shall attempt to cel-
ebrate it by giving your readers
some Jottings. I should never
have thought my personal expe-
riences would interest the read-
ing public except from the fact
that many of my friends urge
me to continue to contribute
them. Well, I have said it’s my
birthday. 9ome old baohelors
or widowers might fear to tell
this as the next question gener-
ally is, “how old are you?” I am
not at all fearful on that account
and frankly say “I am 74 years
young.” Quite a number of peo-
ple are 40 years old, and I used
to think when a man is 30 he is
old. I have been putting off
that period till I now say he has
to be 8o to be considered old,
maybe I shall extend the period
further when I reach that mile-
stone. It might be well to give
to some the seoret of continued
youth and longevity. Ke*p
cheerful and always look on the
bright side of life. Your read-
ers must know, however, that I
do not always follow my own ad-
vice. Yet generally I love to
obey orders. As evidence of
this let me say that when I was
chaplain of the 30th Ala., during

A new theory is being advanc-
ed for the origin of the many
great orators on the moon, by
Prof. See of the Naval Observa-
tory at Mare Island. Prof. See
thinks they were formed by the
Impaot of smaller satelites
against the surfaoe of the moon
and not by voloanio aotion as
has been generally believed sinoe
the time of Galileo. He pre-
sents an array of argument in
support of his theory.

the war, I was near the front
when we were expecting a bat-
tle; cannon balls four inches in
diameter from the enemy’s guns
were splintering and felling trees
around me. Our brigadier gen-
eral (Clayton) came riding down
the line and seeing me said, “Go
back from here; we are about to
have an engagement, and you
have no business here.” I obey-
ed orders at once. “He that
fights and runs away, will live to
fight another day.” Some val-
uable gifts from loved ones have
rendered me happy on my birth
day. It extends the Thanks-
giving another day. We had a
Thanksgiving Bervioe at the first
Presbyterian church and had the
rare privilege of listening to an
instructive sermon by Rev. Fran-
cis L Patton, D. D., L. L. D.,

I haved just returned from a
meeting of the Synod of Texas
at San Angelo. I preached at
San Angelo twenty-one years
ago. A marked change was ob-
served on every hand. A mag-
nificent $30,000 church building
stood beside the old ohuroh in
whioh I had preached. At that
time the houses were so scatter-
ed that I told a friend it was as
large as New York exoept it
lacked the houses. No wonder,
as the lumber for the few houses
there had been hauled from Ab-
ilene by wagons, over one hun-
dred miles. Prairie dogs in-
fested the lots an all sides. When
I reached the city then, some
half dozen gamblers rode in the
bus with me to the hotel and
gambled all night in an adjoin-
ing room to mine. I felt uneasy
for my safety, and it was a great
relief to be entertained afterward
at a oomfortable home of one of
the elders of the ohurth. At
that time Rev Potter (known as
the fighting parson of the West)
was present at my servioea and
announced that he would preaoh
that night at a saloon and only
saloon men and gamblers would
be admitted. It had been his
custom to take his winchester
and two six shooters to places
where his life migftt be in dan-
ger from Indians. His rifle was
put in one corner and his six
shooters on either side of his
Bidle. He was much loved by
the toughs of the city and re-
claimed many of them that doubt-
less will de.oorate hie orown in
Heaven. He has gone to his
reward. His name was men-
tioned twice at the banquet held
for the Synod one night. This
was an enjoyable venison ban-
quet, the deer having been killed
in anticipation of the Synod.
Several addresses were deliver-
ed on this occasion, yet the
iaughter and applause, in my
judgement, did not comport with
the sanoity of the house of the
Lord. It did not appear the
least like an assembly of Pres-
byterians. Solomon says ‘There
is a time for every thing under
the sun, a time to laugh and a
lime to mourn, eto.” Now, I
am as fond as anyone of fun ana
and harmless jokes, if they are
in the plaoe. I have preached
over fifty years and I do not re
call every provoking laughter
in the house of God but onoe and
that was unintentional.
I missed seeing my brothers
at Synod, sickness in his family
preventing him from attending.
About 150 members of Synod
were president. Dr. T S. Clyce,
President of the Austin oollege
at Sherman, was elected Moder-
ator. Synod meets next time in
Sherman. I should have said
that lunch was served at the
church every day at noon which
added to social advantages and
facilitated bnsiness, so we had
a very short session.
Just before going to Synod I
had an enjoyable trip to Graham
where I preached by request of
the absent pastor, Rev. S. J.
McMurry. The Lord put it into
the heads (I should rather say
hearts) of two young people to
get married on Monday at 0:30
a. m., as they took the early
morning train. I went by lan-
tern to the home of the bride to
solemnize the marriage, and the
groom put a good estimate on his
bride by a liberal fee. This fee
enabled me to decide to go to
Synod; otherwise the trip would
not have been made. As I re-
turned from Graham I spent a
day very pleasantly with my dear
friends at Bryson, Mr. and Mrs
Jim Hays. Mattie Lou seemed
proud of a third boy added to
her family. Amy Prioe was al
so there. I invariably receive a
oordial weloome from these dear
friends.
I see in a recent paper that
more than 500 marriage license
were issued in one day in Chica-
go, most of the marriages to oo-
cur on Thanksgiving day. What
an inducement for those who
oannot find a companion to re-
pair thither for fear the supply
may be exhausted.
I set my alarm in time to see
the total lunar eclipse.
I deem it is now time to stop.
