A FINE DAY AT
FORI HOUSTON.
Survivors of Hood’s Brigade Reune
With Judge John H- Reagan-
AT HiS HOMt NtAR PALtSTINE.
An Old Fashioned Barbecue and
Dinner and Royal Greeting
Cleverly Told Of-
Editors Couraut American:
A royal reception was held from
4 to 7 o’clock June 28th, in honor
of Hood’s brigade, at tne hom. of
Hon. and Mrs. John H. Reagan,
situated on the old Fort Houston
grounds, two miles west of Pales
tine, Tex.
The day was auspicious, the j
breeze rustled the leaves of the
trees that surround this historic
home, wafting a delightful wel
come.
At 4 o’clock p. m., a special train
carried out from the city the vete
rans and their families, the spon
sor elect, Daughters of the Con
federacy and other guests.
As the train came in sight an i
aitillery salute was fired. When J
the crowd emerged from the cars j
another salute was fired. This;
continued at intervals all the eve i
ning.
Gen. Cabell heading the column,
veterans all marched to the house,
halting at the corridor, from which
place Judge Reagan delivered a
cordial address of welcome. “Noth
ing,” said he, “gives me more pleas
ure than to have you come to my
place.” When concluding, he said:
“I turn Fort Houston over to you.”
They were invited to file through
the house to the back hall, where
}hey would find the punch bowl.
They were waited on by the
“Daughters.”
Ranks being broken, they scat
tered all through the house from
bottom to top (no closed door) and

over the lawn and enjoyed them
selves at will.
On the right of the lawn the
tents were pitched; at left, arms
were stacked.
Beside a blazing fire in front of
the tents were old time darkies
broiling bacon,others cutting slices
from the huge pieces hanging up
inside the tents. Over this fire a
large kettle was hanging from a
rack. This contained the rich
coffee, the aroma of which filled
the air. Mess boxes were scattered
all around in the tents, on which
were scattered tin plates, cups and
spoons. These were filled with
navy beans, just taken from anoth
er kettle, broiled meat, pickles and
loaf bread, together with coffee in
the cups, each plate,cup and spoon
to be retained as souvenir®.
This was enjoyed not only by
veterans but by the daughters and
other guests, who enjoyed it to the
fullest extent.
There was music and merriment
on the opposite side of the lawn,
in which judge and Mrs. Reagan
were leaders. The veterans were
overjoyed at the meeting, and it
resembled a revival. But ah! gaz
ing on the sinking sun all were
reminded the hour of departure
was drawing nigh. Then was
realized that every sweet has a bit
ter and that bitter would be saying
goodbye.
All formed in line in front of the
corridor, and Judge Reagan stood
on the steps. A touching address
of thanks and farewell were de
livered by Mr. W. E Barry, of
Navasota, Texas, and all grasping
the hand of the grand old com
moner, bade him farewell. All
eyes were suffused with tears.
Taking up the line of march,
they soon boarded the special and,
waving adieu, were soon whirled
out of sight of old Fort Houston.
The recollection of this event will
ever be cherished by all present.
Judge Reagan being a railroad
commissioner, has headquarters in
Austin.
Mrs. Wm. Mobley, nee Miss
Mollie Reagan, who is staying at
the home.had everything arranged.
She seemed to anticipate her fath
er’s every wish and spared no pains.
Judge and Mrs. Reagan came home
several days prior to the reunion,
which was during the 27th and
28th, and found every arrange
ment pleasing.
I don’t think I ever saw a more
enjoyable entertainment.
judge Reagan has a delightful
home, beautiful lands, a lovely
park and springs and large creek
running through it, has a pretty
two-story ten room house, a' fine
library, nice out buildings, fine
stock, wind mill and flowers.
There is a cedar tree a few rods
from the house, which is said to
mark the spot of “Old Fort Hous
ton.”
Mv husband so enjoyed the re
union and reception and so wished
all Hood’s brigade could have been
present I thought I would writ 2
this for the benefit of those living
in and near the dear old Carters
ville home.

ACCEPTS A WAR ON WOMEN.
England Sends Troops A (gainst the
Wives of Boers.
London, July 21. —David Lloyd
George, Member of the Carnarvon
District, elicited the fact, in the
House of Commons the other day,
that over 12,000 troops have been
sent to South Africa since the cap
ture of Pretoria, which scarcely
looks as if the war was over.
The stern treatment now being
meted out to the Boers by banish
ing them to Ceylon, and which is
sending women intothe Boer ranks,
has created no little outcry among
those who are opposed to the war,
though the majority appear to be
lieve no measures can lie too severe
n order to tr'ng an end to the san
guinary struggle that is nearing its
first anniversary.
The week in parliament was
marked by still another backdown
by the government in withdrawing
the clause of the army bill making
volunteers available for services
abroad.
Such a sweeping change in the
force met with strenuous opposition
j on both sides, and after pleading

tary of state for war, Geo. Wvnd
ham, meekly withdrew it. This
was another instance of the gov
ernment’s amazing inability to
feel the pulse of the house of com
mons and the nation.
The Star, voicing the opinion of
the advanced radicals, approved of
the clause, but fails to see how im
perialists could oppose it, for ‘‘you
cannot assert your hegemony in
China, your suzerainty in Africa,
claim the golden stool of Ashanti,
teach France her manners and
wield a longer spoon than Russia
without either courting disaster or
facing conscription.”
The Hospital Commission has
started the work of examining pa
tients who have returned to Eng
land from South Africa. Experts
will start from South Africa at the
end of next week.
