A Few Facts About the Flag

The red in our flag stands for
valor, the white for purity the blue
for justice. Our first Revolutionary
flag generally used was called the
Grand Union flag. In this the COL
onists, who, we must remember,
were still Englishmen, kept the
red ground of the old English flag,
but striped it with white bars, so
that there should be thirteen lists,
or stripes, as an emblem of the
thirteen colonies, Also, they kept
the blue field of the English Union
Jack. but took out the crosses of
St. George and st. Andrew, and
put instead thirteen stars in cir
Gle. This flag was inauguarated
by Washington at his camp in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, in Jan
uary, 1776, though it was not
adopted by congress until the 18th
of June. 1777.
Some of our flags of about this
time show the stars arranged in
the blue in the shape of one big
star, and some show them arrang.
ed in circle. The permanent
present fashion was adopted after
1918, when congress passed res,
olution that new star should be
added to the blue field for every
new state admitted to the Union

A. Reunion.

One of the most interesting gath.
erings that has been in Jefferson
this season was the meeting on
Friday, the 23rd inst, at the fam.
lily home of all the living children
and grand. children of the Preston
household. When accurately
counted there were thirty three.
The older ones felt, to some ex.
tent, young again; and the younger
ones appeared to be older than
they really were, but all were in
for good time-and they had it,.
There was one point in which all,
old and young, were interested,
and that was the dinner table, and
/ shall not try to describe that but
say from a two.year old gobbler
down to a saucer of ice cream ev-
erything was complete, for Miss
Cinnie managed that department,
and 1 assure the reader it was
well done. The children had come
from various parts of the country,
one from China, and the others
from various portions of Texas
and the Territory to meet their
aged parents and each other, per.
haps, for the last time this side OF
the great beyond.
The photographer was on hand
took the entire group. Many la.
dies came to congratulate the fam
lily and were treated to saucer Of
ice cream. All enjoyed the occa
sion greatly, and thus ended very
pleasant day, but not fully salts.
fed an excursion was planned for 6
trip down the bayou next day anc
was greatly enjoyed, especially by
the little ones. To crown the
whole affail, on the Sabbath the
children with tender hands rolled
their mother and grand mother tc
church in her invalid chair to heal
her son preach, and 1 viewed the
scene with sadness and yet with
delight. The sermon was appro
pirate to the surroundings.

Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. P. A. Turner. Judge
of the 9Th judicial District of
Texas:
We, the Grand Jury, duly EN-.
paneled and sworn by your Honor
for the June term of this honora.
BILE court. A. D. 1905, beg to make
this our final report and then ask
to be discharged.
To the best of our ability we
have investigated all reported vio-
lations of law and report that we
have found ia bills.
We have examined the county
Jail and find it clean and neatly
kept.
The county officers books are
correctly kept, so far as we have
been able to investigate.
We call the attention of the tax
collector to the fact that there are
parties pursuing occupations in
this county taxable by law, and
same persons are pursuing such
occupations without having paid
the occupation tax due from them
and without procuring license
therefor, We haye not indicted
such persons because they can be
prosecuted by information and be-
cause of the fact that we have been
in session for some time and wish
to adjourn. but we instruct the tax
collector TO make affidavit against
all such persons before the county
attorney, and we instruct the coun-
ty attorney to begin prosecutions
by filing inform atoms against all
such persons unless they comply
with the law at once.
We tender our thanks to our
door and riding baliffs; also to our
county and district attorneys for
their faithful attention and able
advice.
In conclusion, your Honor, we
desire to thank you especially for
the able and timely charge tina,
your Honor gave the jury; we
recommend your charge to the
close, to the serious consideration
of our people and especially to ev.
cry youth of our country.
