Heroism of Southern Women.

History will never detail the self
sacrifice and heroic courage of South
-rn women. No matter az to the
right or wrong of the c~ause--they be-
lieSed it vas right. In Virginia sew
en- out of ten families are without
men folks at home within three
months from the first battle. Father
and sons went together. The wife
and mother gave all she had, and
then turned to face further a%nxieties.
There we're thousands of women in
the Old Dominion who had never
laced up their shoes or combed
their hair. The slave was at hand to
obey every nod. These women sent
their husbands and sons to the front,
and they faced the question of food
supply. In many cases the slaves
a away. When this occurred the
women went into the fields and put in
such crops as they could. Where the
slaves remained, the mistress was
forced to act as her own manager and
overseer, and assume all responsible
ty. There are plenty of federal
troopers still living who found edu-
Gated and cultured Southern women
welding hoes and holding plows in
the cornfield within six months OF the
opening Of the war.
1t was the Southern women more
than the provost marshals who check
ed desertion and made such offenses
odious. The confederate who left
the front without leave found no vel
come outside of his family. He whs
came home by authority and with
wound to attest his bravery in actor
was q hero when duty compelled hi
return.
No man eyer saw a night so wilt
that o Southern woman would not fac
it to carry news to confederate sol
diers. Every woman was a scou
and spy. If the mother could no

where scouts and spies could not g

who saved Mosby often. 1t was

q few Of the most important points:
What moneys have school boards

Ans. BOARDS of directors have
the right to expend all moneys accru-
ing to the district, for ''school pur-

the following sources:
(a) Money on hand April 8, 1888

dren IL of greater Importance than inc

have the negroes, who compose the
bulk Of the Republican party, be-
cause the welfare Of the state Is OF less
consequence to them than a revenue
To educate their children, obtained al
no matter what expense TO West
Texas and they will have strong
following OF Greenbackers, as indi-
Gated by the attitude OF Gen. Cham

the Democratic party of Texas at the

That IL the scheme as now made out
II the Democratic party OF texas
which Is supposed to be the party o.

the injection of a lease plank IN the
state platform solely to mollify the de-
fiction OF those who threaten to bolt

doned and all that country opened 70
the hardy settler, and l care not
whether he at first carries but fiocks
and herds. The pillow and anvil VIII
follow IA naturally "a water flows
down hill, and nothing will or can
prevent 1t save large pastures, that are
a greater terror to the settler IMAM
bands OF wild Indians.
One further word and l will con-
clude. The scheme of investing the
school fund in county bonds and kim
dred securities is fraught with practi-
cal danger. The same scheme was
tried In Missouri and other states, and
resulted In the loss of more than two
thirds of the fund, and though not a
prophet, can see far enough into the
future to discern ruinous consequences
flowing from this scheme,
set ON foot to obtain
a greater rate of interest than absolute
safe securities can afford. Great In
terest with poor security is not a safe
investment. The advantage is not
sufficient to take risk rs to the safety
of the fund, nor is the temporary
advantage of grass rents great enough
to Justify putting stumbling block In
the pathway of advancing agriculture.
The above are briefly my views,
which you can give to your readers II
you see proper. Yours very truly,

SHERMAN, TEX, July l0.-The re-
port of the arrest of DIR. C. w. Psarce
of Dallas for land frauds that reached
here in THE GAZETTE's specials this
morning has been a theme of discus
speeches from Chicago. The doctor il
well known here, having practiced
medicine in the city for two years or
where he lived about eighteen
months prior to taking up
his residence in Dallas.
Capt. Lee Hall of La Sale county
is here on a visit to old friends. His
services to Texas in command of Il
| company OF rangers, and his success in
restoring order among the wild clans
o 4 the frontier, have made the name
of Lee Hall a household word in West
| Texas.
Capt. J. H. Brown of the Binkley
! house left this morning for trip tn
Caddo springs, in the territory for the
benefit of his health.
Several fishing excursions have been
organized, but excessive hot weather
has caused an indefinite postpone
nent.
Tomorrow the colored folks will
hold grand picnic at Union church,
six miles south of the city, and sever
| al speeches will be made on the sub
| ject of educating the rising generation
of their race. Judge s. u. Steedman
is invited to attend and instruct them
in the requirements of the new school
law.
