The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-07-14


and Misses Nola Dilworth and Mag
gle Myrick of this city, visited the en-
campment yesterday.
Miss Hittie Clark, the charming
sponsor of the Stone Fort Rifles, is a
natlve OF Nacogdoches, daughter of
Col. william Clark, gallant Confed-
crate soldier, and granddaughter of
Chas. 3. Taylor, we'll known in the
early times of Texas.
The Corpus Christi Caller gives
TINS send-off to the gallant Light
Guard: Tomorrow Corpus Christi's
pride, the Light Guard, will leave for
the state encampment at Austin, and
we are betting ten to one that the
boys will return flushed with victory.
Qui vive, Light Guardm
The Bryan band, known as the
headquarters band, l.. R. Bonneville,
drum major, yesterday morning and
evening played before the headquart-
ers OF General Roberts. Their PLAYING
showed the careful instruction given
them by their capable leader, and
was enjoyable in the extreme.
The encampment rounder of The
STATESMAN yesterday took dinner
with the Governors Guard and right
well did he fare at the hands of the
companionable and hospitable bows.
They claim that they have the best
table and get the best food in the
camp and then lay all the blame on
their quartermaster, Mr.. j. j. Pleas
ants; in fact they swear by his name.
Late Monday evening Miss Louise
Shelley, the charming sponsor for the
Cove nor Guard, accompanied by her
maids of honor, Misses Jodie Booth
and BERTHE Bowers visited the camp
and there presented the guards with
beautiful company flag. 1t is an
exquisite piece of work but not for it's
intrinsic worth do the boys prize it so
much as for its coming from the fair
hands 1T does and the many
pleasant memories its association will
recall in days to come. On one side is
the inscription on the finest of white
SILK, "GoVernOr's Guardianship,
Texas-1S92," and the seal of Texas,
while on the reverse is the company
flag,-red, white and blue, with the
lone star.

jutant generals office yesterday and
