AFFAIRS OF THE ASSOCIATION.

The memorial page in this issue serves as a reminder not only that another Texas veteran is gone, but also that the Republic of Texas will soon have passed beyond the memory of any living man. Ex-Governor Lubbock, who was in his ninetieth year when he died, was barely thirty when Texas became a State of the Union. It was, of course, but natural that he should take a special interest in the history of whose making he had seen so much. For seven years he was one of the vice presidents of the Association, and he was rarely absent from its meetings.

Ex-Governor Lubbock was a man of most exalted character, which was evident in all his conduct, both public and private. It is hoped that a suitable appreciation of him will be prepared ere long for publication in The Quarterly.
