CAPT. R. A. BRAMTLY DEAD
Another Of Hoods Men Has Bivouaek'
ed on Fame's Eternal Camp
ing Ground.

Gen. II. B. Stoddard received a tele-
gram yesterday afternoon informing
him of the death of Capt. R. A. Brant-
lev. which occurred yesterday morning
at his home at Somerville. The news
of his death will bring profound sor-
row to the hearts OF many old and
true friends in Bryan and Brazos
county.
Captain Brantley was about seventy
wears of age, and was for many years
resident of Bryan All the older citi-
zens here well remember Bob" Brant-
LEV. the whole-souled, big-hearted
friend, citizen and neighbor.
Captain Brantley in the early days
lived at Millican, and when the war
came on enlisted in the army from
that place and was assigned to duty
In Hoods famous Texas brigade. No
drawer soldier ever fought in defense
of the South than Bob" Brantley, and
as color.bearer was exposed to the
very greatest danger on many hard
fought field. At Gettysburg he raised
the flag of his regiment after three
men had fallen under it in quick sue
cession, and though his clothing was
riddled with bullets, he escaped unin
jured. This flag has been in the pos
session of Hoods Brigade Association
and at their annual reunions 1t was
always Captain Brantley's proud priv
lilege to carry it in the parade whei
he was able to be present.
Now he, too, has answered the las
roll call and gone on to join his oil
comrades. God rest him In peace.

Cities ana Rscs Vitality.

The Napoleon wars so drained the
flower Of French manhood that even
today the physical stature OF the aver
age Frenchman is nearly half an inch
below what it was at the beginning Of
Napoleon's reign.
The country in America today is con-
stanuy paying similar tribute to the
city in the sacrifice Of its best blood,
its best brain. the finest physical and
mental fiber In the world. This great
stream of superb country manhood
which is ever flowing cityward is rap
idly deteriorated by the softening,
emasculating influences Of the city I'M
til the superior virility. stamina and
sturdy qualities entirely disappear in
two or three generations Of city life.
Our city civilization is always in a
process of decay and would in a few
generations become emasculated and
effeminate were it not for the pure
crystal stream of country youth flow
ing steadily into and purifying the
muddy. devitalized stream Of city life.
1t would soon become so foul and de-
generate as to threaten the physical
and moral health Of the dwellers.-
