mitteemen that they have u right to
appoint In each countya sub-commit-
teeman to assist them in obtaining the
names of those who served Texas from
1920 up to annexation to the United

"the old three hundred,n first settlers
in Austin's first colony, were made
members of the first class in the assoc
cation by resolution at the meeting in
May last. | would also suggest, in
getting proof of service to become
members of the association, il would
be well to make the proof required to

who will, In Il few years, inhabit this
empire state, will freely give TO the
