miss He had recently visited the
GRAVE OF SAM HOUSTON,
which he found grown up in weeds. He
! hoped a towering monument would be
raised, and that it would bear another
inscription than that upon the small
! stone that now marks the hero's resting
place, which simply gives his name and
! the dates of his birth and death. The
! speaker addressed the Union men as
''Yanks,' saying the two sides could
! now say "Rebs' and ''Yanks'' with
out fighting about it. They were
not like the soldier who, walking
along alone, weary and sore of foot,

wanted to know to. what command he

to his shoulder and lsveling it on his

The speaker welcomed the.Union SOL
dier to Texas; hevwas a brave, man or
he would never have come her6Gss
Col. Carmichael followed Ashby. He
had come to Texas i'll 1915. His first look
satisfied him this was the promised land.
The prairies were covered with buffalOs
and deer, the rivers were full of fish, and
every hollow tree a bee tree. He had
fought the Indians and had commanded
a company to guard the frontier during
the war. He also paid high tribute to
Texas women. 1t took a world of pa
tent strength to make a good pioneer
wife.
THE PIONEER ELECTION.
At the conclusion of the speeches the
| Pioneer association proceeded to elect
officers for the ensuing year. Capt. w.
G Veal was reelected president; Maj.
X. M. VanZandt, first vice president;
Thomas Bratton, secretary; Dan Parker,
treasurer, A. S. HayCer, chaplaiu-these
officers to constitute an executive COM
mittee. One vice-president was also
chosen from every county in the state.
When the pioneers had finished their
election the meeting adjourned for sup
per. The crowd up to this time had
been very large, but it rapidly thinued
out, and when the time arrived for the
evening meeting it was but small frac-
ton of what it had been during the day.
AT NIGHT.
The evening meeting was devoted to
short speeches, the monument and Con-
federate home. These exercises were the
last of the reunion. Many of the old
soldiers remained on the grounds during
the night, and most of them will leave
for home this morning.
At the Stock Yards hotel a ball was
given that was much enjoyed by all who
took part. The cool night was most
agreeable for dancing, and the fun was
kept up until very late hour.
The reunion, while not so largely at
tended, owing to combination OF cir
cumstances, as was expected, was highly
successful, and reflects credit upon those
who managed it, and upon the people
who contributed to it The courtesy and
hospitality of the Fort Worth people were
appreciated by those in attendance, and
every organization represented on the
grounds passed resolutions of thanks.
Other organizations held their annual
elections yesterday, and their officers and
the names of the men present are given
