with his men to reduce the rebellious colonists. The famous siege of the AL amo was one of the historic episodes of this war. The decisive battle, how ever, was fought on the banks of the San Jacinto river on the twenty-first of April, 1886, when Santa Anna brought five thousand Mexicans against eight hundred Americans-the latter under the leadership of Gen. eral Sam Houston. The Mexican dic- tator was defeated. captured and forced to acknowledge the independ- ence of Texas. Several of the Euro pean nations, as well as the United States, recognized the little republic. Next we find Texas begging for ad- mission into the Union. Slavery was already becoming q factor in our po- litical life and Van Buren. who was the Chief Executive at that time.

RECORDS OF MONEY
 ORDERS ARE BURNED
Flames at McCarra Store Play Pc. culinr Prank-Postmaste Seeks
 Purchasers.

Postmaster John Wilbourne is anxious to communicate with the persons who, on Tuesday, purchased money orders at the sub-postoffice at the store of s. J. McCarra X Co.,, which was destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The persons in question pur- chased money orders bearing the numbers 19,073, 19,O74, 19,075 and 19,- O76.
 When the money orders were ls- sued the main stub was removed from the money order book. The book it. self was returned to the safe, whero it went thru the fire unscathed. The stub was attached to he application for the orders, and was then placed on a file, attached to the wall of the sub-postoffice There was quite a bundle of these stubs and applica- tions on the file when the fire occur red, and all were saved except the four directly on the top, which four were burned. The others were ,scorched bit, but are decipherablc and can be continued in the postoffice records.
 With the four that were burned, however, conditions are different. Tho postoffice has no means of knowing to whom the money orders were is sued, nor the amounts called for, and for that reason Postmaster Wilbourne hopes to get calls or telephone mes sages today from the people who pur- chased those orders, and who now hold the small receipt issued wi h each order. These small receipts bear the same numbers as the money orders themselves. 19,073, 19 0.4 19.- 075 and 19,076 and by getting jn touch with these persons, aii of whcm are believed to live in the ne'snbor- hood of the McCarra stora, Poslmas- ter Wilbourne will be enabled to-keep his records in he usual fine shape.
 MT. Wilbourne stated that the ire at the McCarra store cause. nc other damage or loss to the pnstoffce de- partment, all the money, stamps and other such stuff having been m tho closed safe when the fire occurred.

to that period of time, in all ninety seven thousand, General Scott landed with his army at Vera Cruz on March 9th, 1S47, and planned to work ms way to the capital while General Tay- Tor was going through the northern par. of the State. At Buena Vlsta General Taylor met San.a Anna ana his men, and it was during this pat tie that General Taylor gave his fa- nous command-"A little more grape. Captain Bragg!' It is recorded tha' Captain Bragg then loaded his guns with grape and turned the t1de or battle in favor of the Americans,
 Northern Mexico had now been con- quered, and it remained for Gencrai Scott to lead our men to victory III the Southern part. This he did in n1s desperate assault on the fortress or 1 Chapultepec. There the fight was of a most determined nature, and the hand to- hand combat as the Ameri- cans stormed the citadel are historic for the bravery.and daring of our sol- diers. Tie march into Mexico City was peaceful, and after two years fighting the United States had subdued the trouble maker.
 Under the terms of peace Mexico ceded the provinces of New Mexico and California and gave up all claim to Texas The United States, how ever, paid Mexico s15,000.000.00 for the ceded territory. The war cost our country s156. 100000 in actual ex- penses.
 This war was scarcely over before the Mexicans were fighting among themselves again and a civil wal seemed imminent. Santa Anna came into prominence again and declared himself the Perpetual Dictator. This was in 1853. The dictatorship ended in August. 1855, when he was com pelled to flee to Cuba.

May Eleetrify County.

The adoption of electricity as the power with which to operate thls new gin, is likely to prove the first step in a campaign which may eventually mean the electrification of Jefferson e unty. There are so many rctto@ gins scattered over the county, so many small communities, so many other enterprises of greater or less magnitude that can advantaseously use electricity that it is believed a campaign by the Pine Bluff company to extend it's high power lines Into many sections of the county will bring satisfactory results.
 Almost all the plantations have their own gins" said one property owner yesterday. "There are so many stores and settlements, none very far from another, so many handsome and otherwise modern residences on these same plantations and in these commu- mites. so many other enterprises that can profitably use electricity TOT power, that believe it is going to be 2 successful campaign for the flhe Bluff company"
 Minor 0. Woodward, who IS Tn charge of the new business" depart ment of the Pine Bluff company, was enthusiastic yesterday over the excel- Lrt results obtai ad at the now Bar TOW gin, and in reply to questions. stated there is no reason whatever why electricity should not be used ,:n all parts of the county. at savinS to the consumer, and with Pine Bluf1 as the producing and distributing center.

Pine Bluff Company Fur nishes Power for Wiley
 BarroW's New Plant.
MANY ADVANTAGES
 OVER STEAM POWER
Electricity Not Only Safer, Wore Eco- n0mical and Steady, But ls Snid 50 Give Better Results in Actual
 Ginning of Gotten.

Operations were begun Tuesday morning at the new gin at Ohio street and Seventeenth avenue, which is under the management of Wiley Bar TOW, and which is the first electric ally-Cperated gin tin this section AE the country, and when the days worR ceased yesterday approximately 100 bales of new crop cotton had been ginned.
 More than ordinary interest attach es to the operation of this gin, pri- marily because of the fact that it is operated by electricity. A 100 horse power motor furnishes the motive power. the electricity being obtained from the Pine Bluff compan. The motor is the only one that could be found in the entire country to .,hso~ lutely fill all requirements, and it was located at Portland, Ore, from which place it was shipped here for the new gin. The Pine Bluff company was compelled to extend its heavy power lines from State street and Twelfth avenue to the gin, considerable dis tance, in order to transmit the power necessary to operate the gin, the eX- tension running five blocks south ia State street to seventeenth and thir- teen blocks east in seventeenth avenue to the gin, distance of eighteen blocks, or something more than d mile in all.
 Cheaper Snd Better
 That it is cheaper, safer and gen erally more satisfactory to operate 8 cotton gin by electricity than by steam is said to be one reason the silent" power was adopted by MT. Barrow fer his new gin The nse of electricity is said to mean consider able decrease in insurance costs, there is no trouble about hauins fuel or removing ashes, and it is possible to gin bale of cotton whenever a farmer hauls it in by merely turning a switch without having to keep up steam all day, Or waiting until a heavy head of steam can be raised.
 The operation of the gin by electric ity is said also to give better results in the actual ginning of the cotton, i'll that it gives more steady service and results in more and better staple Of cotton. Operation of the gin has been VIZ tched with consideraole Interest aid enthusiasm by cotton men, who are said to have expressed themselves as we'll pleased with the results obtained.

 The United States was the first country to recognize the independence of Mexico in 1929, and she resolved to secure recognition for the country by the European powers as we'll.
 The independence of Mexico did not bring peace to that land, for one ruler succeeded another in rapid succession. always with more or less bloodshed. Of all\the Mexican schemers the one best known to the United States is S.nta Anna. who was the leader in our
