a. Att .,. ill., gfta

lotted to the Hans Success to the Haps.

Lampasds. Texas-Dear Haphammer:
Please let me in. for want to chat awhile
with you all. l think the suggestion made
by the editor was a good one. which was
the greatest hero in the Texas war for in
dependence? ! cast my vote for Colonel
w b. Travis, as think he was the hravest
hero OF the war; He fought eleven days,
but what could he do against such odds?
He did his best, but the Mexicans were SO
many that they took the fort Haps,
want to tell you about my watermelon
patch | have about an acre and a half
in watermelons. | am going to raise
them for the market and If Mr., Han comes
to Lampasas this summer / will give him
one of the largest ones | have. | hope
will have a good time playing ball, l am
going to plant some kershaws this after
noon liked the GLASS Dagger and the
Undong of a Double" very much Hoping
that Travis will win true Hap
Jewell Brady.
Minden. Texas.--Dear Haphammer: l
see you have nice contest, | will vote
for w, B. Travis. Why? Because he was
the greatest hero of the Texas war for
independence. What caused the independ
ence of Texas 10 be gained? Why, SIR
the massacre at the Alamo. Houston's
men would not have fought as bravely had
it not been for the massacre of the Alamo.
II the men in the Alamo had surrendered
and not taken the life Of a Mexican, the
MeXicans always would have been much
stronger and probably Houston could NOT
have defeated Santa Anna. And then be-
sides that the army would have been dis
couraged would not have fought as we'll,
but the cry remember the Alamo,
awakened the spirit of the Texans and
caused them TO gain the victory; SO Travis
was the hero. Had Travis had as many
men as Houston he would have fought
his way through the Mexican ranks. Now
hoping all will vote for Travis | remain
yours truly, R. T. Holleman.
Richland Springs.-Dear Haphammer
Mr. Hap was very good in trying to gel
the girls TO plant flowers 1t has been q
!, dry here that we have not had many now
ers to bloom this spring. Roses and lilac
are ALI I believe. We have planted sew
eral kinds, which are Just now coming up
| think we have a good subject for debate
It seems like about half of the Haps tnini
Houston the greatest general ana IH
ID
think II Is true Travis gave his lie 10
his country, as many others have oohs
/, JIllugton risked his life several time
and won the battle which made TeNa
independent, and afterN the war was owe
served his country in every way ne eou',
Travis might have served his country =
, many ways also had he lived NOW II
fear OF taking too much space ioI a me
