from the official reports OF tho command

the battle. These reports are. the best
evidence, and must and will be accepted
as conclusive OF what then occurred.
We have read 30 much OF all OF these
reports, Confederate and Federal. as we
could find published, and as would throw
light on this question. and we propose
to make such extracts from the most I'M
portant OF them as we think should
settle this controversy for all time. II Is
proper to say In this connection that the
statements contained in these reports
were accepted as true at the time. and 80
remained for thirty years. History both
Mt the North and at the South. has been
based on them. ana It seems to US re-
markable that this controversy should
have arisen so long after the happening
Of the events as thus established. But
the controversy has now arisen. and
hence the necessity for appealing to this
record to settle It. The question IT,.

A Great Mistake - All Future
Prospects Ruined.

A young man decided that he
could get along Ia this world without
attending a commercial school and
securing a good business education;
he was mistaken; did not find 1t out
until il was too late and his chances
for an education were gone.
Young people, consider this ques-
ton carefully. Your future success
depends upon it. IL you go into a
cold blizzard poorly clad, you will
freeze to death. IL you go into the
busy, bustling business world Of
today poorly prepared you will
starve 70 death. Enter some good
practical business college where you
will "learn to do by doing" ali the
most important phases of business
that are carried on in our larger
cities and to keep the records of the
same. Learn stenography and type
writing, for these are the stepping
stones to success. Many of our
railroad presidents of today made
their start as a railroad stenoKra-
pheF. The same is true Of other
lines of business.
Make your arrangements, begin
making them now, to enter Tyler
College, Tyler Texas, at the earliest
possible date. Taey viii give you
the very work you need to prepars
yourself for the duties Of an active
business life. They have a largt
school, thoroughly equipped, ant
have an enrolment of over "
students since the first of September
Their work Is flrst-class and tup-to-
date. Write them nc once for eata
