LOCAL N£WS AND VII3WS
THE BRIDAL WREATH
Adorns the Brow of Miss Eugenia Den-
ny—Chas. ». Hay the Happy Groom.
At nine o’clock last evening at the resi-
dence of the bride’s father, Col. II. C.
Denny, on north Main street, Mr. Chas.
D. Kay and Miss Eugenia Denny were
united in marriage, Rev. T. B. Lee, of
Austin, officiating. The happy affair was
a quiet home wedding, but there was
present a numerous company of relatives
and friends. The parlors of the elegant
residence were profusely and beautifully
decorated with flowers, gracefully inter-
laced climbing vines and tropical plants
of large or of variegated foliage, and
made a delightful surrounding for the
young people there to be made man and
wife. After the ceremony the happy
couple received the heartiest congratula-
tions from all present. Then the party
assembled around the heavily laden ta-
bles, where were spread many substan-
tial and delicacies, which, with rare
wines, served to entertain the company
for more than an hour. Tho newly-mar-
ried pair took the 12:50 Missouri Pacific
train for Palestine, where they will spend
a few days the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
John L. Cline, after which they go to
Houston, where Mr. Kay has engage-
ments that will keep him for six or eight
weeks. They will make this city their
permanent home. Mr. Kay is one of Bel-
ton’s most worthy young men, and is de-
servedly popular both in social and com-
mercial circles. He came here some four
years ago from Chicago, and was asso-
ciated with his brother, W. G. Kay, in
the conduct of the Belton oil mill. The
bride is one of Texas’ fairest and most ac
complished daughters, a young lady who
combines with native beauty of person all
the charms of mental culture and the
graces of a purev innocent and noble
heart. After this well matched pair the
Journal flings the traditional old shoe,
and joins hosts of friends in wishing for
them all the joys to which humanity is
heir, the fond hope being entertained
that
“As down the stream of life they glide,
May love direct their pathway ever,
Nor boisterous stream or changing tide
Succeed their faithful hearts to sever.’
Eetter from Goliad.
Mr. Alvab F. Ferguson, of this county
has furnished us a letter written by his
uncle, J. G. Ferguson, to a brother, A. J.
Ferguson, from Goliad, Texas, on March
2, 1836. Mr. A. J. Ferguson was the fa
ther of our fellow-townsman, Mr. Jo.
FergusQn. The following extracts from
the letter will be of interest:
“I am now within the walls of this town
awaiting for tho enemy, which we are
daily expecting, for they have already be-
seiged San Antonio, nearly one hundred
miles distant, and report tells us that two
thousand troops are coming on to attack
this place. Our number of men consists
of about four hundred, all of which are
volunteers from the states, with the ex
ception of about thirty regulars. Our
Commander is Col. Fannin, and I am sor-
ry to say the majority of the soldiers don’t
like him, for what cause I don’t know,
without it is because they think he has
not the interest of the country at heart,
or that he wishes to become great without
taking the proper steps to attain great-
ness. On last Friday, the 26th of Febru-
ary, we started to San Antonio to attack
the enemy at that place, but we only got
two miles from town and camped for the
night, and next morning a council of war
was called, when it was concluded that
we had better return here, and put the
town in a better state of defense, which
it Capano and Dimmitt’s
is below here, and it was
we should stay in order to
keep the’Mextaans from cutting off our
supplies, which no doubt would have been
done, and they may do it yet, for there
are no troops at either place to hinder
them from doing so. Provisions are very
scarce here and have been. I have had
to live three days at a time on bull beef
and coffee, but now our coffee has giyen
out, and without new supplies our bread
will in a few days, and then it will be
beef all the time. We are not prepared
by any means to stand a seige, inasmuch
as we neither have ammunition nor pro-
vision, so you see we must make decisive
battles. I think I stand a good chance for
being surgeon-mate to the army at this
place as soon as there is something to do
in that line. The situation of the country
is of a high, dry character, no local causes
for disease of any kind, and the land is
first rate.”

The Temple fire department has been
invited to participate with the Belton de-
partment in next Thursday’s picnic.
The wife of Mr. W. C. Sparks died at

Friday.
The 8. S. band captured all the old vet-
erans and the balance of mankind with
their nobby suits, sweet airs and dulcet
notes.
The protracted meeting at i.ne Metho-
dist church closed last Sunday night. The
pastor said he would begin another at an
early day.
The ladies of the Episcopal church will
serve ice cream on Col. H. C. Denny’s
lawn on Saturday from five to ten o’clock.
A cordial invitation is extended to all.
M. J. Wood and wife left for Belton
yesterday, where they will reside in fu-
ture. We commend them to the gener-
ous treatment of the Belton public.—Tem-
ple Times,
There was a heavy rainfall here on
Tuesday night. Goldthwaite was visited
by a severe hailstorm, and near Santa
Anna the Santa Fe track was badly
washed, delaying yesterday’s train some
four hours.
In another column will be found pro-
gram of closing exercises of Belton public
schools and of High School commence-
ment. The graduates this year are Misses
Mana Hood, Ciirrie Tarver and Lillian
Fuller in classical course.
Col. Kessler while here closed a trade
with our citizens for a rock one story
storehouse 70x90 feet, corner Main and
Railroad streets. Work will begin in a
few days. In the meantime the Alliance
headquarters are in the Keylich building
on Main street.
Mr. C. S. Woodruff, a brother of
Mr. W. D. Woodruff, of this city, died
in Louisville, Kentucky, on April 19. The
Cornier-Journal says he was a well-known
and popular railroad man, highly es-
teemed by all who knew him, and enjoy-
ed the thorough confidence of those with
whom he was associated in business.
Dr. J. H. Lasater has moved his office
to the front rooms in the Harris & Saund-
ers’ building on Main street, over P. Ham-
mersmith’s store. He has changed his
residence to the old home place in the
Holman neighborhood. The doctor re
quests us to state that he will be absent a
portion of next week attending the State
Dental Association in Dallas.
The necessity of obeying sanitary laws,
written and unwritten, is realized by some
people, but with others the turpitude is
appalling. The hearse, the giaye, the
night lamp burning and women wailing
for the dead, belong as concomitants of
such neglect. Citizens have determined
that pistols shall not be carried, and that
fanged curs shall not go at large, to bite.
The pest breeding spots so frequent in the
city, are more deadly than dogs or pistols
aDd the remedy is at hand.
Statements from Col. Kessler.
While in the city last Thursday, Col. A.
L. Kessler, of New Braunsfels, expressed
a desire to “go to print” concerning the
Alliance Exchange to be established in
this city, and a Journal man waited on
him to receive his views. And this is
what he had to say:
The Farmers’ Alliance Exchance of
Texas was started for the purpose princi-
pally to do away with middle men and
unnecessary expense; to bulk shipments,
getting car load lots, and thereby decreas-
ing freight rates. There is no disposition
to interfere with legitimate merchants
We do not favor or encourage country
stores of general merchandise, and we
only deal with country stores as individ
uals. Of course if they send orders the
agent goes and buys to fill. We recognize
the fact that all people cannot be farmers,
that there must be merchants, arid their
interests are common with ours. One of
our principal objects is to keep farmers
from buying on credit. We purpose hand-
ling cotton, implements, grain and such
other articles directly connected with
farming in bulk for the benefit of the or
der. We will not conduct a general store,
but will fill orders by buying in bulk di-
rect from your merchants. Another mat-
ter, for which the State Alliance is not re-
sponsible, however, is a co-operatiye re-
frigerator association, organized by mem-
bers of the Alliance, Knight of Labor
and Stockmen, for the purpose of selling
to consumers north, who will give us
guarantee either by stock or money to
take the meat at cost. Refrigerators are
to be established on the dividing line be-
tween farmers and stockraisers, say along
the Missouri Pacific railway. We will
commence with one, calculating to in-
crease to three or four. Belton on account
of its fine water facilities, will have a fair
chance to secure one of these enterprises.
We also have a co-operative manufactur-
ing association to encourage factories.
This too, is separate from the State Alli-
ance, but is, for the most part, under the
control of alliance men who are stock-
holders. We have a board of directors of
thirteen who only have supervisory con-
trol. By resolution we have adopted the
New Braunsfel Woolen Mill and the
Dallas Implement Manufacturing Compa
ny as branches, and will adopt no other
until these are on a solid basis. The
State Alliance is only responsible for the
Exchange and branches, and not for
these manufacturing enterprises. We
will likely establish a branch exchange at
Houston, San Antonio, Paris and Fort
Worth, similar to the one just established
in Belton. Col. Kessler said he had
signed the call “to the farmers, stock-
raisers and laboring elements of Texas,”
to attend a state convention to be held at
Waco on May 15. He wished to say it
was a convention of consultation, par-
tisanship to be strickly excluded. No
nominations are to be made. We want to
consult as to what kind of legislation is
needed. In all probability we may and
perhaps will agree to make nominations
in all the senatorial, representative and
congressional districts. We want to os
tracise no class because of past political
proclivities. Our motto will be, “Fair
and just legislation to all and special fav-
ors to none.” The Colonel, in answer to
a direct question, stated that he was a
protectionist straight out.
Open Air Concert,
The S. S. Band will give an open air
concert from the balcony of the City Ho-
tel next Saturday afternoon, commencing

Presentation of Flag.
The proceedings of the Texas Veteran
Association on San Jacinto Day in Tem-
ple opened with the presentation of a
beautiful Lone Star -flag from the citizens
of Belton, the handiwork of Mrs. Geo. W.
Tyler. Miss Lucy Drake, of Baylor Col-
lege, a natiye of Bell county, and a grand
daughter of Rufus Campbell, the man who
put the irons on Santa Anna at San Jacin-
to, made the presentation address. She
spoke in a natural, impressiye manner,
capturing the hearts of all the old veter-
ans. Her address was as follows:
Veterans of Texas—In the name of Bel
ton, I welcome you as guests of Bell coun-
ty, to the young and.enteprising city of
Temple, and I present to you this flag as a
sign and memorial of the honor in which
you are held by our citizens.
What we owe to you no tongue can ex-
press. More than half a centuury ago
God put it into your hearts to resist the
tyranny of Mexico and the superstition of
former ages, and thus to add one more
star (and the most resplendant one) to the
galaxy of America.
Did you, venerable fathers, dream of
the consequence of those youthful ex-
ploits? Did you, in those dark days,
when the savages threatened your wives
and babes, and the degenerate race of
Mexico thirsted for your blood, picture
the sublime character of your heroism?
No! It is not given to those whom God in
spires with immortal courage and faith to
Bee the outcome of their deeds. They
feel the promptings of an unselfish pur-
pose; they are led by an unseen hand to
face the giant forms of evil and to con
quer though they die.
But while the majority of your com-
rades rest from their labors, you are favor
ed by Providence to witness the triumphs
of time. You behold “The Lone Star,”
outshining most of its celestial com
panions and increasing in brilliancy, soon
to be the central luminary of our union.
Veterans, Fathers, Liberators of Texas,
as you linger on the shore of time a few
years longer, may your days be happy
may your faith grow brighter as the light
of another clime draws hearer, and when
the last reveille shall sound, may we not
belieye that you will awake to rejoin the
scattered band of San Jacinto and march
to the city of God?
Calls on Candidates.
“Calls” upon parties to become candi
dates for office, are not matters of public
interest, and when published in the Jour-
nal are charged for at the rate of 10c. per
line. Gentlemen who are thus honored
by their fellow citizens should pay such
bills, and, properly, “calls” should be
sent to the parties solicited to run for of
flee.

TnoMAsviLLE, April 23. —The school at
this place, under the efficient manage-
ment of Miss Ida Yearwood’, closed
Wednesday with quite an interesting en
tertainment, consisting of contatas, recita-
tions, dialogues and music. The stage
was neatly and tastily decorated. The
morning was taken up with the above
which closed at 2 p. m. with a farewell
song by the school, after which a _ most
splendid dinner, (such as Thomasville is
capable of getting up) was spread alto-
gether in the good old social way. Every-

Salado, April 23.—We can hardly es-
timate the amount of good that has been
done in the past week of fine weather by
the farmers. They can be seen from day-
light until dark driving their teams in
double quick time to make the cotton
planting and the corn working come out
even.
Miss Lela Robertson celebrated her six-
teenth birthday on Friday last by giying
an invitation to her many friends of the
town and surroundings to come and par-
take with her the kind hospitalities of
friend Huling and his kind lady, and they
had the most enjoyable time. Such ameet-
mg of young people has neverbeen known
at Salado on any previous occasion.
There is some talk of rust on the wheat,
but as yet there is no serious damage.
The political pot has commenced to
boil at this place, and we believe that
there are some who are aspiring for office.
We did hope that our place would not af-
ford a candidate this year, but they will
loom up, and the dear people are very
kind.
A. F. Mitchell stands head of anything
that we have heard of in the way of new

of them and will soon haye spring chick-
