HELP THE HOME.
"Peace Hath Its Victories No Less
Renowned Than War;"

During the interstate drill at Galveston,
in the summer of 1886, Maj. B. Rush
Plumly wrote short, yet beautiful pcem,
entitled "Ihe Interstate Drill" To quote
one verse from this charming composition
of the gifted writer will suffice to give the
reader an idea of its poetical merit:
sob, Peace Thy victories rirg out,
No less renowned than those of war;
Let csnnon's roar and patriots shout
Proclaim thy glorious reigl afAr.
Beneath thy reign the martial bands,
The blue and gray ara joining hanGs,
For lasting concord all commands
Are joining hands! are joining handsl"
Death has removed the gallant Plumly
from us, yet his memory is green in the
hearts of his friends, and they trust he
has Joined hands with his loved ones in
that other and better land.
His sister-in-law, Miss Virginia E
Garland, of Galveston, writing to me of his
literary labors, says: Il send you a
number of majors poems on The Blue
and the Greyr' Do with them as you think
best; but know if his own warm heart
could dictate tbs disposition, he would say
sell them for the benefit of the Confeder-
ate home"
Knowing as do, that although MAJOR
Plumly "wore the blue" during our late
war, he had kindly feeling for those who
"wore the grey" have placed the pack
age of poems at the book store of Ed
wards & Co, to be sold for the benefit of
the Confederate home. The price will be
ten cents per copy. Surely, no one will
begrudge this pittance to help so worthy
an institution. Will LAMBERT,

DROWNED.
A Man Drowned Sunday in Shoal
Greek.
His Body Found by Some Lutte
Boys.

Sunday Mr.. W. L. Malone went to the
Blue Hole, deep gulf in Shoal creek,
about mile and half from town, for the
purpose of taking bath. Nothing was
heard of him after he left home and fears
were entertained for his safety, as no one
knew where he had gone. About O'Clock
in the afternoon three boys, Alexander
Scheiffer, Will Kennedy and little Next
can boy, went to this part of the creek to
take swim. They noticed the mau's
clothes on the bank, but they thought he
had just gone little way in the
woods. While one of them took a
dive he struck against something
which he found was the body of man.
The little fellows left the water, and dress
ing went to Mr.. John Heldiuger, black
smith near by to whom they relatedthe fact.
Mr.. Heldinger went imme 1iately to the
place and swimming around rescued the
body FROM its watery grave.
Justice Calhoun was Immediately notified
an inquest was held and a verdict was rem
dered in accordance with the above facts.
Mr.. Malone was about forty years Of
age, was married and has three children
He lived in the Sixth ward near the resi-
derce of Mr.. jeff Johnson. 1t is sup
posed that he was drowned in an eplleptic
fit to which he was subject. He was
buried yesterday.
