EDITOR NEWS: Why is it that the Off
GERS of the Terrell County Veterans AS
ISOLATION do not call meeting, as is
done in every county where there is a
camp, to elect delegates to the reunion
to be held in Houston, Texas, on the
goth of May? Can it be that we are about
to loose sight of the lost cause? Heaven
forbid that we should ever forget the
cause, which was just and right, and for
which so many brave men gave their lives
many of whose bones today lie bleach
ing on hard fought battle field Terrell
county sent as brave and gallant soldiers
to the war as ever followed the standards
of Lee and Johnson and jackson and
our own Gordon and Evans. Let the
cav never dawn when we shall forget to
do homage to the brave men who wore
the gray. If our manhood is gone
let us revere, at least, the memories OF
the lost cause. VETERAN.

THE MILITARY IN CHURCH.

the Guard Chaplain Sunday.

do Violence to No Man" w as the Text of
the Guar ds' Chaplain Sunday.
The front seats in the Methodist
church were occupied by the officers ana
members of the Dawson Guards on
Sunday morning at eleven o'clock.
1t was TIE oc casion of the annual ser
mon before that body by its chaplain,
Rev. J. H. Scruggs, who had prepared
for the occasion a seTmon especially for
the military.
His text was from Luke, third chapter
and fourteenth verse, being the injunc-
ton of Jesus to the soldiers: "And the
soldiers demanded of him saying, and
what shall we do! And he said unto
them, do violence to no man; neither
accuse any falsely, and be content with
your wages"
This text was made the basis of a
powerful and interesting discourse from
the chaplain, who urged upon his hearers
the necessity for right living and right
doing, subscribing all interests to the all
conquering power of the gospel.
There was a very large congregation
present and the choir rendered several
choice selections. The solo of Mrs.
Fouche, Consider the Lilies" was es-
pecially fine, and was listened to with
rapt attention.

ST. VALENTINES DAY
AND TEE TINE H0N0RED METHOD OF
OBSERVING IT,
Which is Not So Popular as ia Former
Years Something About the Good
Old Saint

There is probably no saint so popular
outside the Roman Catholic Church as
good old Valentine. Not much is known
Of his lie, but his memory is kept
green 10 the hearts Of lovers. 1t is said
that be was beheaded about the year
97O by order Of the Emperor Claudius.
Historians do not agree as to his rank
IN the Church, but he was probably a
Bishop. Whatever his station, he must
have been very popular and very good
man. as he was canOniZed soon after
being beheaded.
1t is also question as TO how St
Valentine became mixed mp with mat
ters pertaining TO love and matrimouy.
1t seems that during his time the
Church was trying 10 break up the
Pagan custom of mating by ballot, as
it were. On the festival OF Lupercaia.
which occurred in the middle OF Feb
ruary, unmarried women who so desired
could have their names placed in a box,
aud the slips were drawn out by IN
married men. II young man didn't
like his prize. he had the privilege, so
the story goes, of trading her, and it is
said that there were much trading.
Il is said that Valentine realized that
it would be a hopeless task TO abolish
the custom, and his plan was suOsti-
tuted. 1t called for an open box, and
the young meu were thereby permitted
TO select the maideus of their choice.
Among the other legends concerning
ST. Valentines day is the one TO the
effect that birds select their mates on
that day. This is referred 10 by Shakes
peare aud other writers.
1t would be an injustice to the good
old saint, however, 10 mold him respOn-
slble for the caricatures which are sold
for one cent, known as comics. Some
OF these, which are seen in the shop
windows are coarse and suggestive, and
the receiver who becomes angry, is
really justified. Every trade aud pro-
feSSion is caricatured in bold colors, the
pictures representing flirtS, servants,
efemiuate men and bicycle riders being
particularly atrOcious. Each valentine
contains verses OF alleged poetry, which
will arouse the anger OF many sensitive
persons TO-DAY.
On the other hand, the pretty custom
of sending dainty love messages, will
still be observed, and the postman will
this morning bring happiness TO many
a young heart.

May BRING IT HGRE
MARSHALLS TRAINER C0NFERS WITH THE
COLUMBIAN CLUB
Abol! Pulling OF BIS Contest With Parry Here.
The Fair Directors Action Yesterday
Bowling Contests.

Joe Simpson, Jerry Marshail's train
er and sparring partner, has been in the
city for two days. he came down from
Pittsburg to confer with the officers Of
the Columbian Athletic club for the
purpose OF learning what inducement
the club will offer to have the contest
pulled off under its auspices. He has
not yet received definite answer from
the club.
THE club house would have to be en-
larged," be said 10 Register reporter,
'as the present buildinR would not hold
the crowd from Pittsburg and Home
stead. Parry is pretty clever, and they
think very well Of him up in Homestead.
Both men have friends in Pittsburg who
are anxious TO witness the bout. l have
been promised an answer within I day or
two. The articles of agreement have
been signed, and all the stake money
posted, but the date has not been fixed,
as we want TO know first where the con-
test will take place"
The match between Marshall and
Parry was made last week. Marshall
is the colofed wonder fFom Australia,
against whom both Jimmy Dime and
Lavigne got decisions in ten-round con-
tests before the Seaside Athletic Club.
Marshall's friends assert that his color
prejudced the referee, and that he was
not accorded fair treatment. II is very
likely that Dime and Marshall may yet
come together in a finish battle. Mar
shall and Simpson gave a scientific ex-
hibition before the Nikirk- Seaman con-
test, and Marshall handled himself so
well thai be made a great many friends.

day morning. The business under con-
sideration was the location OF the pro-
posed base ball park on the Far
Grounds. The matter was discussed 10
general way, and finally placed in tine
hands of committee OF three, composed
Of Messrs. Reymann, Hamilton and
Hook The committee tried TO arrange
for a meeting last night with VIII
White, the manager OF the Wheeling
team. There are a number of details
which must be agreed upon, including
he interference Of games with holiday
ycnics, etc.
Since base ball enthusiasts have
learned the exact nature Of the improve
ments TO be made at the grounds, there
is general feeling of satisfaction with
the selection made by Messrs. Buckeu-
berger and White. The Fair grounds
diamond will afford many opportunities
for brilliant fielding, and il will take q
long hit, indeed, TO score home run.
Bucken berger and White have al
ready arranged for one or two exhibi-
ton games on the local grounds. and
will Gil in nearly all the dates between
the middle Of April and the opening of

is possible that ARRANGEMENTS may be
made to play Sunday games. II this is
