| against those who would fain brand the gallant
| soldier with the epithet coward"

past and gallant services of Cen Twiggs, his love
for his native soil, ovmced by his acts and the
| o5o4 which Administration at WaShiur.

rally with one accord, and tender him the award
which is his due. Had he acted other than he has
