HOUSE 239 ARCH ST PHILADELPHIA PA IN WHICH THE FIRST AMERICAN FLAG WAS MADE ADOPTED BY CONGRESS JUNE 14 1777.
BETSY ROSS HOUSE.
For more than two hundred years this quaint little wo-and-one-half story building on Arch street has with- stood the elenients. In the back parlor of this house Mrs. Betsy Ross, the finest needle-worker in America, was en- gaged to make the first flag of the United States. On the 14th of June, 1777, Congress resolved "That the flag of the 12 United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white ia a blue field, represent- ing a new constellation." This little room, in which the resolution of Congress was carried out, has been preserved in its original condition. The old-fashioned cupboard the blue and white tiled fire place, the small window- vanes suggest the life of long ago. Thus, surrounded by tall business blocks, stands this little old house. a monu- ment to Betsy Ross and our National emblem

Liberty Bell.
Closely associated with the history of Inde- pendence Hall is the Liberty Bell, the most famous relic that historic building possesses. This was the bell that announced the Declara- tion of Independence, proclaiming the colonies "free and independent states." Thus it fulfilled that motto engraved upon it, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
The bell was cast in Philadelphia and hung in place in the steeple in the year 1753.
In the year 1824, while pealing forth its welcome of Lafayette to the city of Philadelphia, the Liberty Bell was cracked. It was then removed from the cupola and, sus- pended from the original beam and scaffolding, was placed in the vestibule of the State House.
The bell has taken several journeys from Philadelphia. The first time in 1777, it was transported to Allentown to prevent its falling into the hands of the British. But after their evacuation it was again returned. Its last triumphal journey was to St. Louis, at the World's Fair, in 1904.

Cassenove G. Lee, of Washington, who is said to be a recognized authority on Civil War statistics, has recently prepared a table that will prove very interesting to the people of the South particularly.
The South furnished 600,000 soldiers for the Confederate Armies, and 316,424 white soldiers for the Federal Armies. There were 186- 017 negroes in the Northern Armies and most of these,also, came from the South. There, then, were half a million antagonists at home to be contended with, and it looked as if the whole world were drawn from to suppress the 600,000 soldiers of the South.
The North got 176,800 soldiers from Germany and 144,200 from Ireland. She secured 53,500 British-American, 45,500 Englishmen, and 74,900 of nationalities. If to all these we add the 186,017 negroes we have a total of 680,917. Thus the foreigners and negroes out- numbered by 80,000 men the entire strenght of the Southern Army.
The North, in order to conquer the South, had to enlist the ser- vices of 316,424 Southerners, 494,900 foreigners, and 186,017 negroes making a total of 998,613. Thus the "outside" assistance received by the North was 66 per cent greater than the entire strength of the Southern Confederacy.
In addition to this, the country, outside of the Southern states, contributed 1,779,691 soldiers. It took 2,778,301 soldiers, gathered from North, South, East, and West, in the United States, from England, Ireland, Germany, and Europe generally, from British America and distant Africa to defeat the 600,000 dauntless soldiers who formed the legions of the Lost Cause.

INDEPENDENCE HALL. 0
Independence Hall, the birthplace of Amer- ican freedom, is rendered immortal because . of the important historical events that have here taken place. In this Hall were uttered those fierce denunciations of the Stamp Act, which served the purpose of uniting the sep- arate colonies and inspiring them with the spirit of liberty. In the State House yard, now known as Independence Square, public meet- ings were held and resolutions passed to pre- vent the unloading of tea at Philadelphia. After the battle of Lexington and Concord, a vast throng here assembled, inspired by "elo- quent and patriotic speeches" voted "to defend with arms their lives" and to furnish their share in the Army of the Revolution. Here subsequently were heard the debates that re- sulted in the declaration "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and Independent States." And later in sup- port of this bold declaration of independence, the constitution of the United States of Amer- ica was here drawn up and adopted. Thus within these walls was born our national life.
This long old-fashioned edifice of red brick with white marble facings is a dignified and graceful example of colonial architecture.
It was originally erected as the State House of Pennsylvania, but since the Revolution has been known throughout the world as Inde- pendence Hall. The Assembly first met here in 1735, when the building was far from finished; and not until the year 1751 was the little wooden steeple, the bell tower, added.
As early as 1735 there arose a need for a safe receptacle for the records and public papers of the province; the eastern wing ac- cordingly was built. A few years later the corresponding western wing was completed. In the State House yard the American Philo- spohical Society erected an Observatory, of which no traces remain. But it was from the balcony of this Observatory that the Declar- ation of Independence was first read to the people. Thus in the associations that cluster around this building, in the very atmosphere of the place, may be found the connecting link between the bold, fearless children of free- dom of today and the thoughtful dignified fathers of liberty of 1776.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
------ OF ---
The Fort Worth Confederate Grays.
The germ of the Grays grew out of the Higbee Guards, organ- ized Feb. 22, 1907, and after attending reunions and gatherings, gala days, and numerous like occasions, on the 5th day of Jan., 1908, they changed their name to the Fort Worth Confederate Grays, for the reason that the latter name was more definite as to their locality.
The officers of the Guards and Grays are given first, followed by sketches of the members of the company as now enrolled.
The first name was for Mrs. Mary Belle Higbee, a lady bountiful, whose husband wore the gray, and who gave substantial aid to the Guards, and while they were thus induced to make the change in name, get they will ever entertain the highest regards and most appreciative remembrance of this of the mother of the organization.
When first enrolled a singular fact was discovered ---- this is, the first rester disclosed out of the twety-six names, that twenty-one were in service of the dead Confederacy in as many separate com- mands of the three grand armies of the Southern cause ---- the army under Lee in Virginia, Johnston in Tennessee, and Price in this, the Trans-Mississippi department, which shows the cosmopolitan charac- acter of the organization in every phase of the service ---- infantry, cavalry, artillery and navy. These twenty-one units represent the service of an army corps. Every member cherishes with patriotic devotion the memory of " the land we live in" and take delight in thus living again as boys of 60's in Fort Worth, in the many exhibi- tion drills- they have given, charged a slight entrance fee to defray expenses and carry them to various reunions, State and National, the good people responded liberally, for which these old boys (for they are the boys of the 60's yet) will ever feel grateful.

The Battle of Sabine Pass, Texas.
After the outbreak of hostilities between the Northern and the- Southern States in 1861, the Confederate erected such fortifications as the limited means and the lack of time and men permitted, along the Texas coast, to prevent the invasion of our State by the Feder- als. At the entrance to the harbor at Sabine Pass, two channels, the Louisiana and the Texas, meet, and here a small earthen fort was constructed. This fort was manned by a company of forty-three Irishmen, called the Davis Guards, commanded by Lieut. Richard [Dick] W. Dowling, and the armament consisted of two cannon.
On September Sth, 1863, General Franklin, in command of gun- boat transports carrying fifteen thousand men, appeared in Sabine Pass harbor and commenced bombarding the fort. The small gar- rison, nothing daunted by the overwhelming strength of their oppo- nents, replied to the enemy's fire. The battle lasted about thirty minutes. Tee Federal gunboats Clifton and Sachem were disabled and helpless, another gunboat crippled but still able to convoy the transports with the majority of the invaders beyond the fort's rerch to safety. The two disabled gunboats and 429 prisoners were cap- tured by the forty-three men comprising the garrison of the fort. Gen. J. Bankhead Magruder had in the meantime concentrated his forces as much as was possible, considering the poor transportation facilities, and thanks to the determined stand of the Davis Guards the invasion was prevented. The Federal loss was over one hundred killed and wounded, and the Confederates did not lose a single man. Hence the statement, 43 DEFEATED 15,000.
