TRIP No SAN ANTONIO.

On Tuesdsy, the 18th instant
the writer boarded the H d T. G,
railway bound for San Antonio
to attend the reunion of the Con-
federates Veterans held in thai
city on December 10Th and 18th.
Reaching Austin at 8 o'clock p,
m, we learned that the train for
San Antonio would not leave un-
til 6 O'Clock, so we decided to put
in the time calling on comrades.
Our first visit was to w. T. Wroe.
high private Co. l, 9TH Texas
Cavalry, Green's Brigade. We
found him doing a large saddlery
business and prospering beyond
his most ardent expectations.
Our next raid was made on Com
rade John P. Kirk, at the court
house. He is an employee under
that jovial and genial gentleman,
C0I. Kaufman, tax collector of
Travas county, whom we found
too busy Issuing tax receipts to
attend the reunion. Arriving at
San Antonio we established head
quarters at the Southern Hotel,
presided over In an easy and ele-
giant manner by that Prince of
landlords, DR.. L. A. Trexler.
Here we met quite a large num-
Der of cd gsey-headed veterans
of the lost cause who seemed to
be entering into the spirit and
cause of the occasion in a jovial
and gleeful manner and no new
arrival was permitted to remain
long before his name, rank and
was Learned.
At 8 O'Clock on Wednesday
morning, in company with some
twenty others, we reported to
Gen. Kroeger, at headquarters,
where our names, camps and
were entered on the
register. Here we met Lieuten-
ant R. o. Farris and Judge
of Co. 1, 9TH Texas Caval-
ry, and Comrades, Cullmore, IL
A. Nichols, L. N. Scott, V. A.
Johnson, W. A. Mccoy and
others of Green's Brigade. We
also met our old friends Eugene
Love, John Affleck, VIII Ports,
Alex. Browning, Theo. Foltz and
Ben Goldenberg, with whom We
had a pleasant time. AT 1920
o'clock a procession was formed
by Gen. Kroeger and aid-de-
camps, which marched down
Houston street to Alamo Plaza,
Brenham weekly banner. [volume] (Brenham, Tex.) 1877-1907, 1897-12-23

thence to Commerce street,
thence up Commerce street to
Soladad, down Saladad to head
quarters, where the procession
was dismissed with orders to take
cars for Beethoven Hall, where
the exercises we're opened with a
fervent invocation by Bishop
johnson, of the West Texas
Episcopal diocese.
Col. W. T. Merriwether then
introduced Mayor Bryan Callag-
han, who welcomed the veterans
in behalf of the City of San An
tonic.
The Mayor said that it was an
honor to the city to have the
privilege of entertaining the SOL
diers of the Confederacy.
"We honor you, he said, ''for
the sacrifices you have made, for
the valor and fortitude you have
shown, and for your devotion to
the principles you thought were
right
He evoked a tremendous burst
of enthusiasm by adding:
"And l for one believe that the
doctrine of States rights is cor
rect and that when the Southern
Confederacy fell a great principle
met its death. Without the
principle of States rights the
United States could not have be-
come the great nation it is today.
If the doctrines of States rights
still predominated in the nations
policy the country's recent ex-
periences with government by
would have been i'm
possible.
The Mayor closed by reiterat-
ing that the Confederate veter-
ans were welcome guests in San
Antonio.
Gen. W. H. Young next adj
dressed the veterans to extend
them welcome from their COM
rades of Albert Sydney Johnston
Camp.
He began by paying a glowing
tribute to the soldiers of the
South and especially of Texas.
son every field where Texans
nave fought their valor and their
iaring have been unsurpassed.
Assembled here today are gall
ant soldiers not only from Tex I
Is, but from the other States of
he grand galaxy of the South. t
They dared death for the cause t
hey loved and for their homes I
md their country, and they f
ought as men have seldom t
ought before. f

WHILE in San Antonio the
editor of the BANNER had the
pleasure of meeting with his old
friend and sehoolmate, Mr.. H. S.
Tom, of Floresville, Wilson
county. Mr.. Tom left Washing
ton county in the fall OF 1853,
since which time we had not met
until last week in San Antonio.
Simps has prospered since then,
and is now regarded as one of
the leading cattlemen of South
west Texas. He is man of
great energy, perseverance and
industry, compiled with business
tact, sound judgement and good
management, which accounts for
his prosperity. Again, he is of
a genial, jovial disposition, which
enables him to make fast friends
of all with whom he comes in
contact. May he continue to
prosper, is our hearty wish.

IT is claimed by the Ell Paso
Graphic that home industry
breaks up the concentration of
wealth. We find today the wealth
of the country concentrated in a
few centers instead of flowing
freely as it should from place to
place throughout the veins of the
body polite. Whatever will
break up this concentration will
benefit the people. Take the
beer drank in Texas, a large part
of which is shipped in from the
north, forming one of the streams
that collects wealth and drains it
from us into the pockets of a few
northern brewers. If the home
industry movement is developed
to its full extent in this state, we
will find in place of this many
small and prosperous breweries
scattered all over Texas, furnish
ing for our friends and keeping at
home and distributing among
many brewers the wealth that is
accumulating in such quantities
in the north that a few years
ago a st. Louis brewer had one
numbered thousand dollars to
on his girls marriage
ceremony.

Both addresses of welcome
were responded to in an eloquent
and patriotic manner by Gen. j.
M. Pearson, of Mckinney.
At the conclusion of Gen.
Pearson's address Gen. T. M.
Scott opened the meeting for
business. Gen. Kroeger took
the floor and laid before the
meeting a suggestion that a con-
stitution be adopted for the gov
eminent Of the body. Gen.
Kroeger pointed out the necessity
for such a step and suggested
that Gen. Scott appoint a COM
mittee of five to draw up a con-
stitution. Gen. Scott announced
that he would appoint the COM
mittee during the noon recess
and as it was then 1890 O'Clock
an adjournment was taken until
2:30 in the afternoon.
Meeting reconvened at $50
O'Clock p. M, when the chair
announced the following COM
mittee on constitution:

both in this country and abroad, has
contributed the presence of many
mon and women eminent in the high
or walks Of life. His famous ''cabip, =
located in his grounds, uniquely
decorated with the spoils of the

tertainmsnt, while his finely sppoint-
ed house is given over TO the more

The secret of Mr. Thompson's ex-
cellent health under the heavy strain
of his duties is found in his love OF
out-of door sport. He is an ardent
angler, a hunter of much merit. and
generally selects for his holiday the
season when he may inaulge his
taste for the fascination of the rod or
gun. Mr.. Thomson is a member OF
the Philadelphia club, the Union
club of New York and other promi
nent clubs in both cities.
Mr.. Thomson is a widower, his
wife, the daughter of the late Bsnla-

An Eus0gy on Garfle.d's Assass-
ImattOn.

May roses bloom upon thy grave.
bcneath the turf thou still art brave;
Though shades of darkness round the
cling,
As peering throug b a thrush did sing
The songs of then forgetton lore,
But nc-f with praises will adore,
Thy soul hath felt this mundane shore.
Though born in poverty he rose
To honor and to fame untold;
And quickly from the battlefield
His country called him then to wield,
A natien that for years before,
Stood like the Roman one of yore,
union then so grand and free,
You had man who would agree,
That harmony is a peoples decree.
All time is flying to the grave,
Short was the reign of one SO brave;
For quickly from this worlt of sorrow
We lay be called home to nOrrow.
Ah! such it was our he-o's fate,
When in his prime snare lay wait;
ard 10 he fell, tits but - tell,
A nations love will round INN dwell,
For he alone in honor fell.
And now beneath the turf he sleeps,
And many honors yet he keeps;
Oh sleep the tolls o! life are over,
And round thee blooms the scent of
clover

These qualifications are universally
acknowledged by nil his contempor.

Mr.. Thomson's duties as the man
ager of a great railway require so
much of his tims that he has never
been identified with many other pub

however, is the Equitable Life In,
