MM"''
JUST A PRIVATE SOLDIER.
He was known here in his native
town as a boy of brain and brawn,
with a fund of wit and humor, and
when the call to arms was sound
ed his name was one of the first
on the rolls of Company B.
Off to Austin he went for muster
in with a gay and joyful stride.
Then Mobile, Miami, nearer to the
front, but his hopes of battle were
blasted by the men who had pre-
ceded him to the private soldier's
shrine of devotion—the front. A
long wait in the sand and heat,
patient in bearing the private's lot,
because orders to move were ex-
pected any moment.
Then Jacksonville, and his heart
and spirit sank, for they were mov-
ing away from and not toward
the front. He felt badly and
answered the sick call one morning
only to be told to go to the hospi-
tal—dreaded place.
-"My God, man, your fever's a
hundred and four! " was the sur-
geon's notice to lay down his gun
and pick up a bed. Typhoid, it
was diagnosed by the brigade sur-
geon. Long weeks of suffering and
pain, but his rugged constitution
stood him in good stead and he
passed the crisis safely and was
fast on tbe road to recovery.
A shortage of hospital tents, of
covering for sick soldiers. A fur-
lough was forced npon him, al-
though the fever had not left him:
transportation and sleeping car
coupons provj^led and he was sent
-back to Galveston. Some clerk's
error iu the red tape process of
securing berths, and the Pullman
conductor coolly informed him,"
"That's no good; you'll have to
pay or get off," and not baviugthe
money, be got off the palace car
and lay down on the seats of tbe
day coaeh, burning with fever.
New Orleans was quarantined,
and his route in consequence read
Atlanta, Memphis, Shreveport,
Houston-Galveston. A.long tedi-
ous journey, with all the comforts
ot travel—for a well man.
' He reached his -home only to
consult a physician and the doctor
said: "Go home and go to bed.
Your fever is 104i."
Another siege of typhoid, and
despite the generous, constant at-
tention of a skilled physician, com-
plications resulted, and in one of
his legs the circulation stopped
through some obstruction of the
vein, higher and higher each day
the obstruction is moving, nearer
to the seat of life. The limb is
abnormally swollen and as black as
a coal.
He bears his intense suffering
with all the heroism of the pri-
vate soldier. The boyish humor
is still there, though his, physical
strength has been wasted by fever
and pain. He refers to the large
leg as Fitzhugh Lee, and desig-
nates the sound member as "the
little corporal."
He clings tenaciously to life and
cannot real izetnat death is stalking
at the door. In a day or two a
death notice, and over a mound of
clay iti the western cemetery the
bugler will blow "lights out."
It is but the story of a private
soldier, done to death by the care-
lessness and inefficiency of hospi-
tal authorities, and a lack of abil-
ity on the part of those charged
with his welfare, similar cases
have been exploited by the "yel-
low" dailies and the hearts of the
American people have been wrung
with pity. But while 'tis strange
that while a man-of-war is carrying
General Garcia's remains back to
Cuba, and the secretary of war has
not the heart to refuse army trans-
ports to tbe w ife of a congressman
awl young lady friends going down
to Santiago to entertain house par-
ties during the holidays,'tis strange
that the man who volunteered to
carry a gun and do the fighting,
should be dying as a result of care-
less cruelty, and should want, be-
cause of his lack of wealth, the
medicines that might ease bis dy-
ing moments.
God help the private soldier!
The secretary of war has his hands
full helping congressmen's wives.
—Galveston Tribune.
TEXAS SOLDIERS IN CUBA,
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 24.—The
First and the third batallions of the
First Texas regiment sailed this
afternoon aboard the transport Mo-
bile for Havana. The sedpnd Lou-
isiana regiment was also aboard the
transport.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles G
Dwyer was in command of the Tex-
as batallions in the absence of Col
Mabry, who left yesterday aboard
the Michigan in command of the
First brigade; inCc4. Dwyer's place
Captain George Willrich of compa-
ny H was in command of the first
batallion. Capt. S. L. McAdoo of
company F was in command of the
third batallion, Major R. C. Rob-
erdeau having resigned.
Col. Elmere Wood was in com-
mand of the Second Louisiana.
This regiment left with 843 enlisted
men and forty-three officers. This
"might appear to be a large number
to sail with the Texans aboard the
vessel, but it was not nearly as
many as the Mobile could have car-
ried. Her capacity is 2200 men
Recently she Was fitted up by
Cramp as a transport and provided
with every convenience for the
comfort of troops. She is the finest
transport in the line between Sa-
vannah and Havanna.
As the regiments passed through
the city they were roundly cheered,
being Souther i troops. The Tex-
ans and LouitLanans have been a-
mong the most popular with the
citizens. Both regiments have giv-
en several functions since coming
here two months ago, and the offi-
cers have been prime favorites in
society.
The Third Nebraska will be the
next to sail. This command is
brigaded with the First Texas" and
the Second Louisiana. When it
gets away there will be but one bri-
gade of the Seventh corps loft here
This will sail as soon as transports
can be secured.

That.cough of yours may become
serious; why neglect it when a bot-
tle of Dr. Simmons' Cough Syrup
will cure it? Fifty doses for fifty
cents. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Wednesday of last week Dr. J.
F. Thornton of Plum, Fayette Co.,
and Miss Mary Jarmon of this
place were married at the residence
of tbe bride's parents. The mar-
ried couple left immediately iu a
carriage for Columbus. Dr. Thorn-
ton, the groom, is a promising
young man, well thought of here,
and wherever he is known, and the
bride is a noble and estimable
young lady, admired for her at-
tractive qualities.—Weimar Cor.
Colorado Citizen.
A slight cough is a slight thing,
but it may become serious; do not
hesitate to buy a bottle of Dr Sim-
mons' Cough Syrup: it will cure
you. Satisfaction guaranteed. Fifty
cents and fifty do«es.
It is given out that the strike of
cotton mill Operatives at Augusta,
Ga., whereby 3000 hands were
thrown out of employment, was
the result of a syndicate, who close
down simply to help other mill
owners iu their contest with strik-
ers. In short, it is simply an ex-
emplification of the pet republican
theory, organized capital against
organized labor. With the examp-
les of Greece and Rome before us,
this country should legislate a-
gainst trusts and the concentration
of capital in the hands of the few.
—Colorado Citizen.
Morning sickness, or nausea from
pregnancy, is dispelled by Simmons
Squaw Vine Wine or tablets.
"D<> you know that I have dis-
covered that larks eat boll-weev-
ils?" said a leading farmer the oth-
er day. He said: "Yes, sir, the
larks eat the weevils. I have found
the weevils in the craws of larks
killed in my field. J[f these much
despised birds will just keep up
that good work I dou't care if they
do get little of my corn this spring.'
It might be well to look into this
matter, and if it can be shown that
the larks do destroy a large num-
ber of weevils, killing these birds
should stop.—Hallettsville Herald.
For overworked girls and feeble
women, Simmons Squaw Vine Wine
or tablets are nature's greatest boon.
Miss Mary Koehler, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Koehler, was
married to Mr. Ed. Anders, of Fay-
ette county, Christmas day; Judge
D. A. Paulus, officiating.—Hallets-
ville Herald.

Here is an arithmetical problem
that is going the rounds: A is in-
debted to B $5, B to C, C to D, D
to E, E to F, same amount. A, B,
C, D and E each have $1 and no
more, and consequently they can
not pay their debt. They put their
money all together, A takes the
$5, goes to B, pays his debt and
gets his receipt. B does the same
to C, C to D, D to E and E to F.
A, B, C, D and E are out of debt,
and F has his money. Who if any
one, is the loser.
