7 THE GALLANT COMMAND DID
To tho Editor of Tho Post.

To the Editor OF The Post
Kyle. Texaa. April III observe that our
State senate has passed resolution grant
ing to the Terry Rangers n site in our
capitol grounds on which they arc to erect
"A monument to perpetuato tho memory Of
their dead comrades. Tho Terry Rangers
are to be commended for the zeal they
have displayed In this labor OF love Com
mcncing II Immediately after the close OF
the war. at all OF their reunions, monu-
mcnt to their dead comrades has over been
a supreme idea with them. They have taxed
their means and every energy for con-
summation mud now when the time for
work has arrived. they find the means
raised. about $4,000. inadequate for the
erection OF such one as would be In keep
Ing with tho record OF this devoted Texas
regiment. Most of tho survivors who come
back from those distant ba,t!eGcids are
poor and tho burden of raising the fund
now ON hand fell mostly upon the more
fortunate ones.
I appeal to the friends OF the regiment
II is far from our thought or aim to have
our people make iuvidious distinctions in
favor OF our regiment against the equally
deserving Texas commands. The facts arc
these: With the fund already on hand 1t
Is practical with little outside aid to
build our monument. Then we hope and
believe that other Texas commands. en-
ulating us, Will move and when they do
Terry Rangers will come to tho front with
aid. The history OF the Terry Rangers could
not be given In newspaper articles, but .
faint idea OF tho achievements OF this de-
voted Texas regiment can be obtained by
presentation OF the opinion Of those In
high authority and the generals under
whom they served in those days.
General A. 8. Johnston, on his first In
spection OF the regiment mt Bowling Green.
after complimenting them on their SOL
dlery bearing, added: Boys, much is OK
pected Of you; will you meet expectations"
Did they do II?
General Which, a distinguished Union
general, whose forces we fought at Nuns

John A. Wharton at truce meeting that

General Forest. after crossing the Ten

General Frank Armstrong said: II have
hhoWn regular troops sometimes to refuse

pulsed after charging. I have never known
Ierry hangers to refuse TO charge when

General Tom Green Raid TO Colonel STEVE
Terrell that he considered Terry Rangers
Tho Texas representative regiment OF
cavalry"
President Davia said to your corresponds
ent. In the presence OF Colonel r. Il. Lub-
book. TINT Terry Rangers had done all
that could have been expected or required
OF soldiers"
Az the time and under the circumstances
and from the source this Is indeed COM
plmcnt.
DR.. Zandel. medical puryeyor Of the
army OF the Tennessee. said that at Ben
tonvillc. N. C., he saw Terry Rangers whip
one hundred times their own number and
save thut army of fatal cul de sac.
Tho biographer OF General A. s.. Johns
ton says that the Terry Rangers left Hous-
ton Il60 strong; that their rolls during
their service was augmented by 500 re-
cruits. that thoy participated in moro than
100 battles; that they surrendered with 244
men and had but ono deserter. lilo says
that this is noble record. but their fame
was dearly bought with tho blood OF most
OF these fearless horscmen. who following
the example OF their chivalric leader, rode
galy md dauntlessly down to death.
Won't Texas help the small remnant yet
left In this effort to prevent the memory
OF their dead comrades from perishing from
the earth?

Llttleficld at Austin, or to W. ID. Cleve.

tel!igence that Mrs. Bates, wife OF
llartwell's popular jeweler, Mr..
Geo. H. Bates, had died suddenly
that morning at 5 o'clock. her
death was altogether unexpected,
even by the members of the
family, as the day previous she
appeared to be IN usual good
health and retired at night bright
and cheerful. Mr.. Bates was
awakened by her peculiar breath
ing and upon attempting to arouse
her found that she was in a dying
condition. A physician was has
tily summond, but before he ar
rived her spirit had left it's eal thly
tenement. After funeral services
at the residence on Wednesday
morning, conducted by Rev. L.
A. Thornton, assisted by Revs.
G.. A. Jamison and B. w. Collier,
her remains were laid to rest in
the AartwelI cemetery. The
floral offerings of friends were
numerous and beautiful. Mrs.
Bates was most excellent lady.
She leaves husband and a num-

Normal Notes.

The Normal Literary Society
have begun a series of programs
that promise to be of great inter-
est to those who attend. Their
program on Friday evening of last
week was devote to Tennyson 5
life and works. One week from
next Friday evening sketches from
the life of Burns and poems written
by that eminent author will be
rendered. One of the features OF
the program will be the recitation
of some of Burns choicest poems
by Prof. L. Fl. Clark.
The Athletic Club misses sadly
some of its old members. The
first steps have been taken for the
organization of two football teams
which will soon begin training
for their fall campaign. Those
who attended the initial baseball
game on Friday afternoon will APP
preciate the fact that the Normal
nine is not yet fully organized.
Only three of the old team re-
main and the new men have not
vet been trained to the work.
The Y. M. and Y. w. G. A.
meeting on Tuesday afternoon
showed that these societies have
entered upon year of successful
work. The assistance of the
pastors of the several churches of
the village has been secured, and
the coming meetings of the So
ciety promise to be Of great inter-
est and benefit to those who at
tend. Meetings held every Tues
day afternoon at 4 :30ln the music
room.

OLD SOLDIERS MEET.
The Survivors of Company A.

Sup Together.
Old War Times Lived over Again.

Last wednesday and Thursday
were gala days for the old vets ir
this city, the occasion being the
reunion of the survivors of Co.
A. of the 18th Wisconsin sent
ont to fight the rehs in 1861. The
company originally consisted of
100 men leaving rescott Oct -
for Madison where the 10Th Wis
consln Infantry was formed.
1t will be interesting to note
that during the winter this COM
pany was sent to Fort Leaven-
worth. Kansas. to 60 south to
join Grant in his operations in
Mississippi. The company assisted
in the seige Of Vicksburg and
many minor skirmishes relative
to the capture of Jackson, Miss.
In "a the company joined
Sherman $ army at Rome, Ga,
and was in all the battles in
Sherman $ march to the sea, going
north after the fall of Savannah ),
and were in the battles of Orange
burgh, Pocatatigo and Columbus.
Tearing up railroads and destroying
property In the Carolinas was the
principal occupation OF the boys.
! The regiment saw great deal OF
hard fighting and it is no wonder
that these reunions are so greatly
enjoyed.
Wednesday evening the Relief
Corps gave reception
in the Odd Fellows banquet hall.
Two long tables decorated with
the choicest flowers and laden
with all that appetite could crave,
pork and beans, coffee, meats,
cakes of all kinds, fruits in ma ny
varieties, greeted the boys of blue
on that memorable night.
After the reception was over,
toasts were responded to. w. T.
M arshall officiating as toast
master. In absence Of the may or,
Mr.. Marshall gave the address of
welcome in a few we'll chosen and
appropriate words. Comrade Law
of New Richmond responded to
the address of welcome, Mr.. Law
probably voiced the sen timents of
all present when he admitted that
he was ''too full for utterance, =
but he managed to make very
howery and eloquent address which
was greeted with great applause.
Comrade Knowles responded to
the toast tThe Grand Army. !"
Mrs. Marshall read a very ap.
preciative poem entitled "The Re-
union of the Boys" Mrs.
MarshaIl's poem was composed of
passages selected from various
poems, so fitted together as to
make most charming and appro-
pirate selection for the occasion
and was among the choicest toasts
rendered.
"The 18th Wisconsin was re-
sponded to by Comrade John
| Nee ollum of Custer, Mimi. This
toast was among the most inter
esting and was very eloqnently
rendered. The first time he ever
knew there was such place as
River Falls, said the speaker, was
