THE REUNIOIV
(Continued from last weok.l (\
It is estimated that there were 1
00,000 in the parade Thursday of '
the reunion. i
* * |
*
Among the prominent visitors at ^
the reunion was Dr. S. II. Ford, of *
the Christian Ileparatory, of St.
Louis, Mo., who was a member of
the Provisional congress of the Con -1 i
federate States. i (

The grown up citizen in Texas 8
Dative and to the manor born is so 11
fib. rare that you rarely make a blunder 1
after meeting one to inquire, "What
State arc you from?" You will al- '
most always find it some other State 1
than Texas. (

It was said that the city of Dallas
was turned over to the veterans and
visitors during the reunion. This
must have been true, literally, for I 0
was there nosing around town twelve 11
hours before I saw a single police- ] V
man in uniform. That was the day v
after the reunion had closed. 0
* * S
Jf?
The dining hall at the reunion at
Dallas where free feed was given to
the veterans was the largest affair of _
the kind I have ever seen. There c
were six or eight rows of tables about ^
;200 or more feet long all under one
imammoth shed. I noticed a pile of
taker's bread at one end about six
feet high, four or five feet thick at
the bottom and some fifty feet Ions.

I learn that the best cotton grow- v
^ ing country lies south of Dallas, h
Leatrue county, about 150 wiles v
away. While the best grain grow- j
ing belt lies West and Northwest if
including the famous Pan Handle, o
that prospects arc very fine this year a
for wheat, corn and cotton, that v
wheat was ready to cut by the c
middle of May. The drought of ?
last year made crops extremely short, s
* * t
*
The city of Dallas was literally 0
streaming with flags and hunting ?
during the reunion. 1 understand :
that although an immense amount of
V
this flag cloth had been ordered for
ihe occasion every ard in town had 1
been sold. Residences as well ?s .
etorcs had been decorated. Many 1
windows of the residences even out in v
the suburbs were most i.rtist'cally 0
decorated.
*
* *
Dr. J. W. liusscy, who noted as
my guide at Fort Worth, went with c
me from Dallas to Fort Worth. His 1
father shipped the first carload of v
cattle after the war that reached 4
Charleston. The carload was shipped t
from Middle Tennessee. The family f
moved to this section directly after t
the war and have accumulated con- 1
aiderable wealth, and so 1 might ro I
count instances, one after another to t
fill columns, where men have got
rich in Texas since the war. t

In the veterans parado on Thurs- i
day there marched an old darkey i
who was body servant to one of the
officers in the Confederate ranks. lie 1

It seems that the greatest buildng

The St. Joseph's Infirmary is one
J the most beautiful places in thesubirbs
of Dallas. It is under the auslices
of the Catholic3, ami as usual
mil tncm they have spared no labor
>r expense in making it a model institution.
It is surrounded by beautiul
grounds. The building is large
nd commodious and equipped with
very modern convenience. It is a
redit to the citv. The St. Paul
Sanitarium, run also by the Catholics,

IIODE IN A l'ALACE CAR.
Duito a pretty little incident 6eurred
<>n one of the important trunk
incs leading into Dallas, (I think it
vas the M. K. & T., known as the
Katy Flyer,") when coming through
he territory some few hundred miles
roin Dallas, the conductor ol the
rain discovered a man trying to beat
lis way on the train. He hailed
lim and demanded: "Who arc you
tnd what are you doing here?"
"I am an old confcbcrate veteran,"
eplicd tiic stowaway, "and have no
none}', an<l#aui trying to get to the
"cunion to meet some of my old corn adcs
once more before I die."
The connuctor was visibly affected
jy the words of this poor old veteran
ind he said:
"My man, you shall go to Dallas '
I
m .ndor style than any man who
vidts the reunion. You shall have
a palace car all to yourself."
It happened that the street railway
had ordered a fine palace car for uuon
their electric line ju-t completed
from Dallas to Fort Worth, and it
was on a fiat car coupled to that
train. The old veteran was taken to
this oar and given full possession of
iffrom there to Dallas, and the conductor
told him that he could give
as many Rebel veils along the rood
as lie wished, and enjoy hi> ride to
the fullest extent, which the old
Rebel did not tail to d > The news
soon peached Dallas and the reader
mav be sure lie was received in
Datlaa with open arms and was well
cared for.

LETTER FROM COLORADO. .
A Very Interesting f,elier from
Mr. H*. G. Bailey. lie Has
Traveled Extensively and HV
Expect to Hear from Mini Occasional
1 v.
_
THE CAPITOL AT AUSTIN, TEXAS, j
Dkxvhu, Col., Juno I. 101*2.
Union* Tim rs, Union, S. C.
Dear Editor:?As I had promised
to let you hear from me once in
awhile I will try to keep my promise,
though I do not feel a hit like writing,
and ought to bo sleeping instead.
I have only had one good sleep for
more than a week, and you see how
nervous I am even worse than you
were at Dallas, and you know 1
ought to try to ?[uiet my nerves.
Well there is no use tolling anything
about this place as it is too far away
from you and your readers to he of
very much interest at this lime,
though 1 would be glad to tell . ou
ail aoout tins moai Climate il~ desired, i
bur your readers could not approei- |
ate this until about July or August. i
Will only say that I got h< re last I
on May 0O1I1 at 10 p. ui., our ti :.c. j
and will go to work tomorrow with !
the same old lirui.
[Let us have it. I'll vouch for the .
raaders.?Ki>.] ,
Well I will try to tell you .-nine- ;
thing about the largest eapitol in the ,
worl I, at least that is what rhc Tex as J j
people call it, and 1 assure you it is ; .
the largest building that I ever vi-- <
itod made of masonry. The eapitol j
of the great State of Texas at Aus- ;
tin stands on a high ridge, though
having a very gradual slope of one
iniie to the Colorado river on the ;
South and a slope of only a few iitiijIrcd
yards North to what Texas ,
people call a creek, but South Carolina
people would call it a rocky .
hollow. The eapitol grounds cover i j
four blocks, the eapitol being nearer j j
the north side of the grounds has1 ;
four fronts, but the one on the south ! t
is mostly used as that front looks;;
directly down Congress Avenue j
through the heart of tire city ami r < j .
the bridge across the Colorado river, j
The laud where the eapitol stand, j
and for many miles North, Cast and ! (
West has a kind of live rock, they ! 1
call it chalk rock, and in many places 1
in the city and around it these rocks i s
are so plentiful that 'hey have to ,
blast them out to make streets and
other improvements. They are usu :
ally small or in seams hut stick so i r
close together that they cannot he ,
gotten apart without blasting. From j j
the dome of the Capitol you can set 1 f
miles of these rocky sticcts and; j
roads in nearly all directions with i t
the appearance as though tiiay had']
been covered with Hour or souie i
ladies' lace polish; 'out they need all I
of the latter they can get, and the ; (
former is about as scarce as the hit
ter. j
Well now we will start up Con ,
gress Avenue and go in at the south j
front of the canitol. The first thing
of importance is the Confederate j
mrtntnrif.il! luttv Iwiiti/ f>r< i. i
rj

will contain fivr statutes?-one of" j I
JefTtrson Davis, one to represent the i I
Navy, one t*> represent tho Artillery, | 1
one to represent the Cavalry and !j
one to represent t! e Infantry, and m; i \
the west face of this monument arc | I
these words: . c Southern people j t
animated by th- spirit ot 1 TT?? a- d!)
holding to their constitutional riguls i
seceded from tho compact, etc., etc." i
And above on all sides are given tho !
dates of secession of each S'-'to.

Tli.m, win diddst o\?r a brother weep.
Wo pi Put thou will safely keep,
Hi t previousones until they meet,
A:.d wife ai d mother gladly greet.
In the soai's home where never more
co mis pain and sin and sorrow sore,
Whore > mlh and hope and love and joy
Are ;di unmixed with outh'a alloy.
The gra1 o was literally Covered

rertion.
1 cx'ond my sympathy to the other
families that were so suddenly bereaved
of loved ones. How sad a

hou e in the embrace of death. I
h"pe th.at the other members will
;oon be well n^ain and I pray that
Hod may sanctify this visitation to
the salvation <-( many souls.
We wi ii our 1 ii a\i.ait auothnrs life.
We ! <>iil t dearet < lian our own,
A ..i ami I ills is deadly strife,

mourn,
AV.iS b,V tied's niace, can Ik; borne."
Farewell.
