IL will be seen ut glance that north
Texas has been sighted in NJ very
pointed manner, and we crave the In
diligence OF Our readers, while we
specify. In the assignment drank Of
each company, the Lamars are placed
fourth, company d; when they should
have been second,as their organization
dates back Of any other, except the
Houston Light Guards, aud they
should have been placed on the flank
OF the regiment. Secondly, the colo.
mel who is n citizen of Houston, has
made ten appointments on his
staff, out Of that ten,
eight are from Houston, one from Gal.
weston, one from Corpus Christi, thus
embracing all the other cities where
the companies composing the regi-
ment belong, but not one from DdllaS.
His partially to Houston is most APP
parent, and his total disregard of the
city is also apparent, yet Dallas has
the best drilled company in his regi-
ment, and Is stationed In North Texas.
The matter has been discussed 10y our
company here, and it is thought ad.
visable by many to withdraw from the
regiment and form nucleus here for
q North Texas battalion, and there
would be many points in favor of such
"A course. First, beause the Lamar's
are the only company in the regiment
in North Texas, and could not expect
to get the balance of the regiment to
this point, but would have to go to
them in every instance. Secondly,
there are now in North Texas, at
convenient distance from each other,
several companies already organized,
and more in process of organization,
namely The Fort Worth, Sherman,
Denton, Marshall and Dallas COM
panies. They could gather together
much easier at some point above
Hearne than 60 to Austin, Houston or
GalveF' II, and as there are enough
companies in the southern part of the
state to fill both the regiments. 1t
would be II good plan to form another
in this section, thus making it more
pleasant and convenient for all con-
cerned, as it is quite evident that Dali
las will never get fair showing as
long rs the colonel and chief executive
officer of the regiment, the adjutant,
are both in the same town, and that
town Houston.
