HORACE GREEDY once said: 1T is
strange how close men read the papars.
We never say anything that men
don't like but we soon hear Of it and
every body tells you about it. II,
however, we happen to say coed
thing we never hear of it-nobody
seems to notice it. We may pay some
men hu ,dred compliments and give
him DOZEN puffs, and he takes it as a
tribute to his greatness thinks
it does him any good. But if we hap
pen to say anything this man don't
like, or something he imagines is Q
reflection on his character, see how
quickly he flares up and gets excited
about It. All our evils are charged
to US. but we never apparently, get
any credit for what good We do"

MOONLIGHT, March l7.-Again has
the Death Angel entered our midst,
this time claiming as its victim fond
wife and mother, Mrs. Amos Baer.
Truly may it be said Of her that "Her
sun has gone down while it is yet
day" as she was but SO years Of age
But she did not cross the dark river
Of Death as one having no hope, for
she had been a consistent worker in
the River Brethren church for many
years and won the love and respect Of
all who knew her. With her removal
earth is made poorer and Heaven
richer. She leaves a husband and five
children to mourn the loss Of the best
friend earth can afford. After a long
and painful struggle with illness she
fell peacefully to sleep in the arms of
Him who doeth all things well.

Of which occurred on last Saturday.
The regiment lined up in double
ranks make line over half a mile
long. The dress parade is very
trying on the boys but we have
stood il well so far, and when we
get our suits and gurs well like it,
/ believe.
Col. Edmunds, commanding the
4th Texas is an elegant gentlemen,
and fine military man and no one
has any fear but that he will bring
that regiment to the front rank.
Houston is a very nice place and
has treated the soldiers very nice
in the way Of providing pure water
and other conyeniences, something
| Austin did not do for the other
Texas regiments.
On Wednesday evening at IT,.
Tie past : o'clock, aud Just after a
regimental parade, a large L. $.
flag was raised in front Of the regi-
mental headquarters, The soldiers
were lined up around the flag pole.
Several hundred spectators were
present from Houston. While the
band played the "Red, White and
Blue the flag was raised and ey-
erybody cheered. Several speeches
were made, but we soldiers did not
hear much of it,os the crowd was
so dense, and were not close enough
The soldiers were then marched ia
their quarters and our regimentaI
band played "Dixic." Mr.. Editor
did you ever hear at a reunion OF
ex.Conledcraics, the old rebel yell
Well, that is nothing compared
with the yell the boys raises her,
when the band plays Dixie
