Texas Good Enough.

The naval recruiting station at
Galveston does not seem to be a
very attractive place for the youth
of Texas. There are TOO many OPP
portunities to get up in the world
in this state for its young men to go
into the naval service as mere sail
ors. There is little chance of pro-
motion and, although life on the
ocean wave has it's attractions for
adventurous spirits, the mere graft
tude of whim of this kind does not
repay the young r-an FOR the loss he
sustains in the WY Of @ home and
substantial standing in the citizen

Daughters OF the Confederacy:
To the Texas Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The subject which calls forth this

The Ladies' Memorial association

their president, Mrs. r. L. Nesbitt
appealed to the Daughters of Texas
to help mark and care for the long
neglected graves of eighty-seven
Texas soldiers In the Confederate
cemetery at Marietta, Ga.
Mrs. Nesbitt writes: "There are
over 5000 soldiers buried in this Gem
etery, representative from every
Southern state. The other state
divisions have responded promptly
and literally. We have been work
ing earnestly and patiently for sew
erai years to reclaim this cemetery
and If we can get little help we are
hoping TO have 1t in order by Mem
orial day. Can't you, through your
state division, send us $2l.7l, the
amount at p cents each required
for the Texas headstones? Every
dollar that we can make Is used In
repairing the driveways and fences,
sodding, setting out trees and
