Reinterred in BrownwoOd Cemelery-Pa-

the Sleep OF Twenty nine Years.

Brownwood, Tex, December A.(Special)
We often hear the statement made py the
pessimstic orators who go UP and down
The land preaching the degeneration or
mankind in general and the deterlorllon
OF the citizenship of America in SPECIAL,
that patriotism has about died out IL this
country, that We no longer have that love
Tor native land and the home which once
characterized this people, ana that rcVc"-
ence for great leaders once SO deeply lnl-
oe"deI III the hearts OF the people. 1 ms
