Gen. Walter ?. Lane, president Of the
association, called the body to order,
and Rev. j. II. StriDbling, chaplain,
delivered such an earnest prayer as
only one who has devoted a
live to the Masters service could offer
up. Calling attention to the death roll
since the last meeting Of the veterans he
earnestly implOred that those who met
at this meeting might be spared TO
meet again.
Then was Mayor Pendleton introduced
by the president, to deliver the speech
Of welcome on behalf of the citizens
Of Fort Worth. The effort was
happy and brilliant. The valorous
achievements of the old heroes
of the veterans association were spoken
of in feeling terms, and their patriotism
and many self-sacriflces were touched
upon, and assured. them that they
were not forgotten in the hearts of
the people of the state they Moderated,
nor would they be, so long as the
memory Of G6liad and the Alamo and
San Jaclnt9were emhLazoned on the an
nails Of the country -. He Nelcomed the
heroes TO Fort Worth IN .the heartiest
tones. -
Hon. W. p. Zuber ofhGFimes county
was chosen to reply on behalf of the
veterans, and he did so most feelingly;
II fact so deeply were his emotions
stirred his utterance was Sarred at first.
His address was as followsk
Mr. Mayor: -
From the center Of my soul I tender to you,
and through you TO those whom yod, represent
me heartfelt gratitude OF all these present
texas veterans, and of all absent. ones, too, for
