The state of Texas in the purchase of
the historical old Alamo has shown some
probation of the glory and greatness
of our early times-the times OF patriots
and of heroes. The old building was
purchased by the state because it had be-
come part of Texas history, because it
stood monument of the chivalry OF her
sons. because its stones were baptized in
the blood of her martyrs. Mr.. Editor
there stands To-day lin your own city,
another ancient building, the walls OF
which have been bulwarks Of Texas
liberty, which have afforded the Anglo
Saxon protection from Mexican bullets,
within which David Crockett took the
oath of allegiance to Texas, and from
which he went forth to die in the Alamo
for Texas liberty. The building alluded
to Is the Old Stone Fort, East Texas
monument of Texas glory. Tho Old
Stone Fort and the Alamo both stood
through our states darkest and blood.
