THE FIVE DOLLAR RATE.
Chairman Thruston Explains the
Arrangements for Confederate
Excursion.

DBLLAs, Texas, March 3 1892.
To the Co commanders Of the different Camps of
the Ex-Confederate Veterans of the state of
Texas.
There seems to be some misunder
standing in regard to the S. 90 rate to
New Orleans and return. In expla-
nation we wish to say, the So 90
rate is not made by the railroad, but
by the erecutiUe committee haUiRg IN
charge the excursion. This commit
tee charters the train and furnishes
the tickets to the delegates. All
members of visiting camps who will
enroll themselves as members of the
state eucampment will be delegates
from Texas to New Orleans and en-
titled to the IS 90 rate. Call especial
attention of the comrades of your
camp to ths fact that the rate will be
given only to those attending the
state encampment at Dallas on Apri
9Th, and tickets sold on this rate vii
be honored only on excursion trains
under control of the committee.
Arrangements have been made fo1
$3.50 rate on all trains for all per-
sons, whether delegates or not-wh'
may wish to avail themselves of thi
opportunity, and the committee hop
all friendly to the cause will encour
age us by their presence, both at Dial
las aud New Orleans.

1T CHANGES OWNERS.
The Manufacturers Record" Sold
by the MessPs. Edmonds.

by the Messrs. Edmonds.
1t was announced yesterday that
Messrs. Richard H. Edmonds and
William II. Edmonds, the owners of
the Manufacturers Record, have sold
that property to Mr.. Walter H. Page,
editor of the Forum, New York 4;
Thomas p Grasty. of Baltimore, az d
Edward Fl Sauborn, of Philadelphia.
The great financial success of the Re.
cord and the work it has done for the
development of the South have made it
one of the most noted industrial jour
nails of the country. For ten years it
has increasingly championed the cause
of Southern progress, and by many Is
spoken of as "The South's Bible"
The Messrs. Edmonds sold out, it
is stated, in order to temporarily re-
tire from active word and seek we'll
earned rest in the South, where they
have large business interests. The
purchase price is not made known, but,
as the paper has been great success,
the sum is no doubt large. 1t is prob.
able that the Messrs Edmonds will
make their failure home somewhere
in the South, and that, after period
of rest, they will be actively identified
with Southern developments. The
new company will have paid up
