1t is largely through the indomiti-
BILE energy of Mrs. B. G. Clifford, pres
ident of Clifford Seminary that we are
able to give to our readers the splen-
did story of heroism az courage
shown by the brave men of Union
county during the war of 1876.
The intent of Mrs. Clifford, encourage
ed by The Times editor, is to put in
to book form these valuable historical
sketches. Many of the cuts shown
are from the only single photograph
known to exist. But for this move
ment to preserve our history much of
it would soon be lost forever. Many
of the photographs are already show
ing signs of destruction. We feel
sure every lover of our history, every
woman in Union county will endorse
this movement to preserve our his
tory. Our people owe great debt to
the splendid Christian woman, the
unselfish, generous hearted gentle
woman who is doing so much to per-
petuate the history Of the gallant men
OF Union county. Mrs. Clifford is one
woman in thousand. Her high ideals,
unselfish spirit and splendid work in
education, together with her devotion
To our sacred "Lost Cause" will cause
the people of Union county to cherish
her memory as long as the chival-
rous spirit of our fathers falls to the
inheritance of our sons.

HUERTA'S POSITION
PRECARIOUS IN MEXICO

Washington, May 5.-Huerta's po-
sition in Mexico today is more pre-
carious. 1t is said that Zapata, the
rebel general, threatened to attack
the capital today. Velasco, the fed
eral general, is reported to be mutt
nous. American refugees at Mexico
City are hurrying to the coast.
With the constitutionaHsts virtual
ly eliminated from proceedings to-
ward a general settlement of Mex
ico,ss troubles the South American
mediatofs this morning began plans
to compose the differences between
the United States and Huerta that
led to the seizure of Vera Cruz. Car
rama, the rebel chieftain, was elm
mated because he wouldn't agree to
truce with Huerta. Although the
mediators cancelled the proposal that
ne send a representative to assist in
the negotiations they gave him a
chance to join proceedings whenever

Huerta. This development led many

All hair to our veterans!
We gladly acclaim,
No heroes more noble,
How pure is their fame;
They shrank not at danger
Nor trembled in fear;
They fought for the right

When riches and power
Had crushed them to earth
They still proudly. strove
For the land Of their birth;
Their hemes reestablished,
Their fortunes regained; e
And showed the whole world
An honor unstained.
The years have moved onward;
Our land knows no foe;
