Frank Love Visits the Alamo.

Under date of October 26th, writing
from Georgetown, Texas, Frank d.
Love, former johnson City boy, has
the following to say regarding a recent
visit he made to the historic Alamo;
l have just returned
from a trip to San Antonio, a place
which l have frequently visited since
my soiourn in Texas, but am free to
confess that on my previous visits I
have never gathered so much of history
as it was my fortune to gather this
time. l did not know that the place
possessed such interesting sights; in
fact, one could we'll stay there for
weeks and then leave much behind of
interest. The old Alamo, with which
all Tennesseeans are somewhat ac-
qualted, is the most attractive thing in
the city. 1t has history that dates
back to time immemorial. The origin
and mutations of that establishment
are involved in some confusion and
doubt. The Alamo was originally not,
properly speaking, mission, but was
rather chapel or parish church attach
ed to the missionary foundation of
some larger establishment. 1t appears
to have had at one time some connec-
tion with the mission San Antonio de
Valero, and was probably built by Fa-
ther Olivares to accommodate the con-
verts he brought from San Francisco
Solano. A tablet in the front wall Of
the chapel, as it now stan s, bears the
date 1854, but in fact it was moved to
San Antonio in 1744 from San Pedro
Springs. The word Alamo means in
Spanish poplar, hence the name of
the establishment in English would be
the Poplar Church." 1t was in this
memorable structure that the heroic
Davy Crockett met his death in 1886,
when it was beseiged by Santa Anna,
and all of the garrison perished, except
one, and that woman, a nurse. The
Spaniards (rather the Mexicans) hoist.
ed the black flag and executed its foul
and brutal meaning, only to be aveng-
ed on the field of San Jacinto, where
Sam Houston, another Tennesseean,
under the war cry, Remember the AL
amo," spared none save Santa Anna
and few of his lieutenants. I saw the
spot where the brave and valol ous
Crockett fell, the last to survive, an(
around whom were strewn the bodies
of hundred dead Mexicans. Especia
emphasis is placed upon the bravery O
our Crockett by the historians of thi
battle, also upon Houston in the battl,
of San Jacinto. 1t is indeed pleasur,
for us Tennesseeans to know that ou
native state took the lead in fashioninI
the independence of Texas. Her his
tory is replete with the deeds of Ten
nesseeans, and nowhere have they eve
shown the white feather. Her declara
tion of independence was written b.
George W. Childress, Tennesseean
her first president, Sam Houston, wa
a Tennesseean; the men that command
ed her armies we're Tennesseeans, an
many of her governors have been Ten
nesseeans, and most of her officials to
day are Tennesseeans. So, You Sc
that Tennessee is with Texans, tn
foremost state in their affections,
With best wishes to you, am, trul
your friend, f. d. Love.

A Startling Surprise.

Very few could believe in looking at

he suffered such tortures from rheuma-
tism as few could endure and live. But
q wonderful change followed his taking

cured me-" he writes, "and / have not
felt a twinge in over a year" They

A beginner in newspaper work, who
occasionally ''sent stuff" to one of the
New York dailies, picked up last sum-
mer what seemed to him "big story"
Hurrying to the telegraph office, he
queried the telegraph editor: Column
story on so and SO. Shall send it?"
The reply was brief and prompt, but,
to the enthusiast, unsatisfactory. "Send
600 Words" was all it said.
Cant be told in less than 1900, he
wired back.
Before long the reply came: "Story
of creation of world told in 900. Try it. "

Brain.FoOtl Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another bones. A correct died will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the fayorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, pErifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and vigor-

Cured Of Piles After 40 Years,

q. Haney, of Geneva, Ohio, had the
piles for 40 years. Doctors and dollars
could do him no lasting good. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve cured him perma-

diseases. Look for the name Dewitt on
the package; all others are cheap, worth
less counterfeits. H. G. Miller.

coNFEDERATEs AT DALLAS.

Veterans who have attended all
former gatherings of the kind es-
innate that the attendance at the
present reunion Of Confederate
Veterans at Dallas is the largest
since the famous organization
was formed at jackson a de-
cade ago train after has
has poured it's load of visitors into
the city until the hotels, streets
and other public places are filled
to overhowing. 1t is due only to
the thorough way in which the
various local committees did
their work that the great crowds
are being handled admirably.
Despite the countless number of
visitors everyone of them is as
sured of plenty to eat and place
to sleep during his stay in the
city. The presence of the
sponsors aud other fair visi-
tors lends gaity to the gath
ering which the absence of the
tencs of thousands of veterans
who have gone before cannot
oversbadow. With flags flying
and banners waving in the warm
breeze, with bands playing at eve
ry turn aud with the homes of the
citizens thrown open for the en-
tertainment of the Visitors 1t is
not to be wondered that the spir-
it of good fellowship reigns SUI
preme. Preliminary business and
the reception of visitors occupied
the first two days of the week.
There we're parades, brigade re-
unions, receptions in honor of the
distinguished visitors and innum-
erable other features to prevent
the time hanging heavily on the
hands of the veterans.
