THE MARCH OF COMPANY A .
'Forward, march!" was the captain's word,
And tbe tramp of a hundred men was heard,
As they formed into line in the morning gray,
Shoulder to shoulder went Company A.
Out of the shadow into the sun,
A hundred men that moved as one;
Out of the dawning into the day,
A glittering file, went Company A,
Marching along to the rendezvous,
By grassy meadows the road ran through, '.
By springing cornfields and orchards gay,
Forward, forward went company A.
And the pink and white of the apple trees,
Falling fast on the fitful breeze,
Scattered its dewy, scented spray
Straight in the faces of Company A.
A breath like a sigh ran through the ranks
Treading those odorous blossom-banks,
For the orchard hillsides far away,
The northern hillsides of Company A.
Forward, march! aud the dream was sped:
Out of the pine wood straight ahead
Clattered a troop of the Southern gray
Face to face with company A.
Forth with a Hash in the Southern sun
A hundred sabres leaped like one.
Sudden drum beat and bugle play
Sounded the charge for Company A.
Halt! What is here? A slumbering child,
Housed by the blast of the bugle wild,
Between the ranks of the blue and gray,
Right in the path of Company A.
Nothing knowing of Nortli or South,
Her dimpled finger witbin her mouth,
Her gathered apron with blossoms gay,
She stared at tbe guns of Company A.
Straightway set for a sign of truce
Whitcly a handkerchief fluttered loose,
At front of the steel of the Southern gray
Galloped the captain of Company A.
To his saddle-bow be swung tbe child,
With a kiss on the baby lips that smiled,
While the boys in blue and the boys in gray
Cheered for the captain of Company A.
Forth from the ranks of his halted men,
While the wild hurrahs rang out again,
The Southern leader spurred his way
To meet the captain of Company A.
Out of the arms that held her safe
He took with a smile the little waif,
A grip of the hand 'twixt blue and gray,
And back rode the captain of Company A.
Up there, in ihe distant cottage door,
A mother clasping her child once more,
Shuddered at sight of the smoke-cloud gray
Shrouding the path of Compapy A.
A little later and all was done
The battle was over, the victory won.
Nothing left of the pitiless fray
That swept the ranks of company A.
Nothing left save the bloody stain
Darkening the orchard's rosy rain.
Dead the chief of the Southern gray,
And dead is the captain of company A.
Fallen together the gray and blue,
Gone to the final rendezvous,
A grave to cover, a prayer to say,
And Forward, march! went Company A.
The Century.
Tho Alamo.
A brief outline of plan to
beautify the Alamo in a manner
due its unique position as chief
and most precious relic of Texas
is hereby submitted:
First. Buy all property avail
able of the block now snrround-
ing'tlie Alamo. Develop and
beautify as a park.
Second. Build monument to
the martyrs of '30. directly op
posite the Alamo, where tbe
bodies were burned, present
strip of park being extended as
far as Houston street and sur
round Alamo north, east and
west.
Third. Endow Alamo, monu
ment and park with a fund in
perpetuity, sufficient for their
proper care.
Fourth. Form board of trus
tees, three in number, to be ap
pointed by the Governor of Tex
as, with ex-ofticio member in the
person of the Governor, who
shall hold a deciding vote in
in case of disagreement, all ac
tion on the part of the board to
be unanimous.
Fifth. Raise requisite sum
for the purchase of the property
for necessary expenditure inci
dental to enterprise, and for
permanent endowment fund, by
solicited subscription of fifty
cents from every adult Texan.
Sixth. Start endless chain
letter October 1st from the 240
county judges, to the effect that
any one enclosing full name and
address and fifty cents (or forty-
nine cents in stamps with para
fine protection, purchasable of
local postmaster) will secure by
return mail a photograph of the
painting of the Alamo, present
ed to Wm. McKinley, President
of tbe United States, on the oc
casion of his recent visit to San
Antonio.
The money will be sent to
special committee, appointed by
the Governor of the state, cus
todian of the fund to be State
Treasurer. Each name of con
tributor, as received, will be
registered and printed upon a
monster memorial to be deposi
ted later beneath the corner
stone of tbe monument.
Prizes of three hundred,
hundred and one hundred
lars will be offered for the
editorial written during"
months of August, September
and October, on the subject of
the Alamo, its history, its mor
al lesson, the duty of the state
towards its preservation, etc.
The time has come when. more
attention must be paid, to the
public. roads. Tbe trade of our
town, and the peace end best in
tererest of the county call for
it. I hope that the various road
overseers will take advantage of
the opportunity to work the
roads while plowiugcan be done
and put them in good condition.
Kindly remember that I should
not be blamed if any of you get
into trouble about it. Remem
ber that I am not the maker of
either the law or the facts. I
do not have any say as to what
is the law, and vocr and not I,
are the builder of the facts.
Tbe commissioners court placed
this burden upon you, this is
how the duty rests upon you.
Your neglect calls for the legal
machinery to be set in motion.
Then do not blame me if you are
caught. Do you expect me to
neglect my duty because you do
not do yours? Kindly save
yourself and me, too, any an
noyance about this.
Very Respectfully,
R. W. Morgan,
County Attorney.
