VISITED OLD SCENES
AFTER MANY YEARS.
Private Goledge Vas at Fort Brown in
'6l-Now Wears Confederate Cross
of Honor.

An interesting visitor who called
OH THE HERALD several days
ago was J. w. Goliedge of Ard
more, I. T., who was here. ac-
companied by Mrs. Golledge, on a
prospecting tour. Mr.. Golledge
was in Brownsville during the
early days of the Civil War, hav-
enlisted to serve his country dur
ing that historic struggle. The
bronze Confederate cross of honor
on the lapel of his coat tells on
which side. He is, in fact, now
adjutant general of the Ccnfede-
rate Veterans. Mr.. Golledge was
a soldier in the Lone Star Rifles,
when it came to Fort Brown in
1861. This company was after
wards mustered into the regular
Confederate army as Company d
of the Third Texas Infantry. The
fort at Brownsville was then some
distance below its present site, be-
ing the old Fort Brown which was
built in 1916 by Gen. Taylor's
army. The Lore Star Rifles helped
10 rebuild the old post and was
stationed here as part of the garri- |
son for some time.
MIR. Coolidge was a printer be-
fore he enlisted, having learned |
the trade in 1856 at Corpus Christi, |
he says. 1t was while he was at
Fort Brown that the Ranchero of |
Brownsville was established, and |
he helped to set up the type for
the first issue of that paper, which
is still! remembered by old residents
here.
Mr.. Golledge served throughout
the war and was honorably muster
ed out at Houston after the sur
render. After that he engaged in
The newspaper business. The first
daily paper published in Texas,
which was the Advance of Waco,
was started by Mr.. Golledge.
Since selling that paper. he has
published several other papers,
having lately been connected with
The Ardmorite of Ardmore. He
was greatly interested in revisiting
Did scenes around Brownsville.
Mr.. and Mrs. GolIedge have re-
turned northward. after spending
several DAYS here.

A BRIGHT Idea.

The head of a certain Pittsburg
manufacturing concern is an old
gentleman who built up his bust
ness from nothing by his own dog
ged and persistent toll, and who
never felt that he could spare the
time for a vacation. Not long ago.
however, he decided that he was
getting along in years, and that he
was entitled to a rest. Calling his
son into the library, he said:
''Tom, I've worried pretty hard
for quite while now and have
done pretty well. sol have about
decided to retire and turn the busi-
ness over to you. What do you
say?"
The young man pondered the
situation gravely. Then a bright
idea seemed to strike him.
Say, pop, he suggested, how
would it do for you to work a few
rears lon er, and then the two of
us retire together"

Bernalillo county met this morning
az 10 o'clock In the Elks' building.
1t was called to order by Summers
Burkhart. chairman OF the county
committee. There was corporars
guard of delegates present. A tenn
porary organization was effected by
the selection of Il. v. Chaves as tenn
poraTy chairman.
Mr.. Chayes, who has been taking
quite an interest in affairs polite OF
late, made a speech of some length
which was supposed to sound the
keynote of the campaign, namely,
harmony. Mr.. Chaves made a strong
plea for harmony and united party
and predicted all sorts Of disasters to
the Republican organization.
Judge w. w. Mcclellan was elect
ed secretary. The convention then
named committees on credentials,
resolutions, rules and order of busi-
ness and permanent organization.
The convention then adjourned un-
til o'clock.
At 2 o'clock the delegates again
assembled and NJ. Mandell provoked
number of bursts of oratory by
motion to the effect that when the
convention was ready to adjourn,
that II adjourn until next Thursday,
which, by the way, is the day fol-
lowing the holding OF the Republican
convention. which shows that Mr..
Mandelrs political education has not
been neglected.
There was some opposition to the
motion. One delegate expressed the
opinion that II the nomination OF
the ticket were postponed until next
Thursday, the Democrats would be
taunted with cowardice. Another
delegate however, said that It was
not a question OF courage but the
question OF selecting a ticket which
could deliver the most votes. that
was being considered by the conven-
ton. DIR. Wroth appeared on the
floor of the convention at this stage
OF the game and made a vigorous
speech in favor of Mr.. Mandell's mo-
ton, declaring that a hastily nomi-
mated ticket would not appeal to the
voters. The doctor said that due de-
liberation should be used in the se-
