The Texas regent of the Confederate mu-
scum, Richmond, Va, wishes to announce
that an order has been given to a firm In
New York for memorial window for our
Texas room in the museum in honor of
Hoods Texas brigade. The design is very
artistic-the central figure is that of a
private Confederate soldier. The cost Is
$3.50 donated by the citizens OF Texas and
Daughters of the COnfederacy. 1t Is NOW
desired TO raise a like amount from camps
and chapters to dedicate another window IN
the same room to another brave command
1erry'S Texas Rangers.
The Texas room was placed In our care
by the museum management nNe years ago
and annually the regent and vice regent
have been reelected. Relics, pieces OF me,
| mortal furniture, pictures of distinguished
| soldiers handsome carvings and flags have
been added to our collection from tine to
| time, and In this way we are contributing
our mite toward perpetuatng the fame and
! glory of the Texas Confederate soldier.
