The Nacogdoches Chronicle comes

write up of Nacogdoches -county
and printed on tinted paper the
color of the pale red rose and con-
taining the following appreciated
compliment to the Bixxeb :

Ajioxg the subjects which will
come up for action before the nest
Congress says Bradstreets is that
of immigration and the regulation
thereof. There promises to be a
considerable amount of new matenal
bearing on tho subject available. In
the first place there will a report
from the commissioners who are
now abroad investigating the sub-
ject in the different European coun-
tries and who if advance intimations
by cable of what they will have to
present are not exaggerated will
have some highly interesting facts
to lay before Congress. Then the
Senate Committee on Immigration
has been collecting information and
suggestions bearing on the subject
which have been elicited in response
to a circular sent out by the chair-
man of the committee some time
agd.
Confederate Capital and Hood's
Texas Brigade.
The above is the title Belected by
Mrs. A. V. Winkler the historian
chosen by the ;lexas Brigade asso
ciation for the book now ready for
publication. The story of Hood's
Texas Brigade its marches battles
privations and triumphs is so close-
ly interwovan with that of the South-
ern Capital that the history of the
one would be incomplete without
the other. 3Irs. Winkler a native ot
Virginia and the wife of a member
of the Old Brigade otten at tne
front with the command and at least
once under fire has told the story
as only one whose heart was in the
work could tell it. There is no
strained effort at rhetoric or flowery
description but the whole i& written
in an easy flowing style with an
honest effort to state only facts.
The manuscript has been carefully
read by the undersigned a commit-
tee appointed by the Brigade asso-
ciation and has received our hearty
approval. It will make a volume of
about two hundred and fifty or three
hundred pages the price about three
dollors per copv. It now remains
for the survivors of the old brigade
to interest themselves in its publica-
tion. This can be done readily if
each survivor and the friends and
relatives of our dead comrades will
interest themselves in securing sub-
scribers. Let every one go to work
and forward money or lists to either
of the names given below. The work
will be published at Austin Texas
under the immediate supervision of
chairman of historical committee.
We are confident that we need only
the request to meet a prompt re-
sponse from our friends and com-
rades throughout the state.
