Dennis, which is interesting mough K|j|l to print here in full, as follows: V We have just arrived in carui from W the largest parade since 1865. There WS were 36,000 troops present, including cavairy, artillery, machine gun comW pany, infantry land supply trucks?300 suonlv trucks?which made a train of r ? * } about three miles. The parade was 20 miles long. The troops were loaded in trucks and transported to El Paso and fell into line beginning at Texas sir et. We marched down Texas street and I then up Montanna street. We met the j last of the column at Ft. Bliss just1 leaving Fort Bliss 10 miles from the. -n.i+TT tvio tTw%ns were reviewed at; the FOrt. l\Me arrived at the fort atj 1:30 p. m., and were halted on the' ? plains. The parade was completed at 6 o'clock and as far as you could see there were soldiers. Such a thing has never happened neither in Fort t>i;^ -r^r. tt*i PnsA in all of their mili UVi JUf* * v-?v ? tary career. I We went in our macl gun trucks of course and met with much approvement by the reviewing officers. The trucks are an experiment, the other r\n -nor?lr milles. ^'UUO CW VU Jk/?kv?k ?. _ The ladies of the city treated us fine. They gave us water as we passed, they had bowls full of ice water and gave it to us poor thirsty soldiers. They must appreciate our being here, I believe. This 20 mile hike was awful tire- j some but it was worth it to be in such a parade. I have taken Kodak pictures of our j machine guns in action and of the, Rio Grande at the International bridge and some ruins of the bandits t.hfi border. This crossing the border is verydangerous. ou have to get rid of everything that belongs to United States and put on civilians clothes, and rough, ones lat that, and have nothing that looks like it will shoot. I haven't the slightest idea -when we will get back home but I hope to ' se you soon. Write me as soon as possible. BALLY DAY TRINITY SUNDAY SCHOOL OCTOBER 1 fSong No 133, "Work for the night ?

"It was the fire of his genius whnh kindled its light," he said. "His talent for organization and his enthusias+ic devotion which has thus far brought i' on its way."

During the campaign just passed, appeals were made 10 'save civilization,' as was done in 1873 when negro domination was the issue. Men have been heard to justify questionable methods at the ballot box upon the same grounds as when dealing with negroes in 1876, and now it is up to us, and is our duty, to hold a great convention and demonstrate thint we are as good white men as are those who contemptuously, stigmatize the bone and sinew of this state a 'Bleaseites,' and for the further purpose of increasing our fiiith in and consecrating our enoris to uie wu- j tinuance of the struggle for the prin- i cfples upon which we stand.
