brilliant nose, and plunged off into space !
How. like our hopes! Never a word sed
he, but sadly beckoned me to foller
Sadly he walked to the square, mourn
fully he pulled down the Confedrit flag
which hez waved from the pole in front of
Bascom' $, tenderly he folded it, and placed
it under the barl Nv whisky in the bar.
"Ther let it rest" gasped he in husky
tone, 1t will never kiss the breezes no
more" And overcome with emosfun,
