We were really pleased to see so
many people present in Garland's opera
house last night, to witness the enjoy
able programme which was rendered III
most excellent taste and Il manner as
nearly faultless as the best amateurs
approach. The entertainment consisted
of three scenes with various changes and
representations III each. The programme
was made up of solos, duos, trios,
and quartettes, dialogues and number
of other pleasing features that made a
marked impression on the audience
The orchestra bills announced the
names of those who took part, and it will
be unnecessary to personate, though we
may say had we space and inclination to
do so We would be baifled in an attempt
to bestow especial mention on account
OF merit, for when all did SO well it
would be hard to say which did best.
Taken as whole or each rendition by
itself, we believe the general admissions
is that 1t WAS popular success. Frost

dwarfs III costume and few
other features were remarkably i'll
teresting. We cannot refer TO
this entertainment without asking
our readers aud those who took pant ON
the stage last night to permit us to say
that it Is not only our own but the yer

A Recollection.

About 10 a. ~, yesterday, we stepped
into Here's store for cigar, and while
there Herr, who is said to be the first
engineer that ever built fire in Robert
Fulton's steamboat, picked up an old
bayonet and began to solicit the fire to
burn little faster. We looked at the
| bayonet and all at once a feeling of
solemnIty oveTcame US; We felt as though
we had nothing on but tow linen trou-
sers and shirt, standing out in the open
| air with the thermometer at ten. below
zero and everybody darting Spanish
daggers through our last suit. That
bayonet called to mind that we once had
i'll Waco a military company, yes, two,
three of them. Where are they now?
Like Uncle Isaac, We can only say "let
up" The old bayonet seems to be all
that is left of the Central City Guards
and Waco Greys, and that once bright
and shining point that glistened in the
suns rays as it rested on the shoulder
of the plumed and proud state militia a
year or two ago Is now smirched and
bent by contact with the flames,
and wears no more of the
appearance Of q thing men win
glory with on the tented field
spade" Yes, We once had two military
| companies III Waco composed OF
courteous, clever, brave, young men. but
the incentive to keep up the organiza-
tons seemed to be lacking. We are
rather inclined to think that two COM
panies were rather more than Waco
could stand. They were not as agreeable
as the EXAMINER and TELEPHONE or they
u-n
ferred sitting ON two corpses to burying
one and giving life to the other. 1t is a
little surprising that Waco cannot have
one good military company. There are
young men enough in the city to organ
ize one hundred strong in sixty days
if the movement could be properly made.
Even as small town as Gainesville has
an organized, equipped and uniformed
company. Mexia, Groesbeeck, Calvert
and other towns not half the size have
good companies. But we've fight
land don't you never forget" but we
t.atten out somehow about the third pa
rade if we find no enemy. It is, how
ever, hardly creditable to us to say that
in as large place as this we have no
military organization and if the members
of both old organizations would let go
of ii 9 corpses o their PLANTATIONS and
citizens would manifest little spirit and
show a disposition to sustain q good
military company we could have one.
We would like to see a military company
here, like our fire department, always
out on parade when called, and never
behind at fire, fight or . frolic. We
do not know that one can be gotten up
here, but it does seem that it might.
The remarks and suggestions we offer
were called up by seeing the old bayonet
yesterday.
