Ceremonies at Little Rock.

Novel and Impressive Decoration
Ceremonies at Little Rock.
LITTLE Rock, May 29.-TO-day has
been the most memorable in the history OF
Little Rock. Federals and Confederate,
whites and blacks, united in a joint decOra-
ton of the fallen dead on both sides.
There were at least 5000 persons in the
procession, which moved from the State
house at Q o'clock to Oakland cemetery,
where sleep the dead soldiers Of both
armies, side by side. The State depart
ments, county and city offices and stores
were all closed.
The speakers stand at the grounds was
erected half on the Federal and half on the
Confederate side, a rock wall only dividing
the two cemeteries.
Hon. II. &. Caldwell, United States
District Judge, presided. Addresses were
delivered by Gen. EdgeTtOn, on the part Of
the FedeTals, and by Maj. Geo. A. Gallag-
her, on the Confederate side. An original
poem, by Mrs. S. r. Allen, was read, after
which the graves were strewn with flowers.
A Ratchet, carried by a ex-Confederate,
was buried on the Federal ground, with
some ceremony.
After the exercises were through with at
this cemetery, the procession reformed and
moved to Mt. Holly Cemetery, where are
about 500 Confederates buried. After
decorating their graves, a Federal bmied a
Ratchet there also.
Everybody united in the ceremonies
high and low, white and colOred, Federals
and COnfe1erates, Democrats and Repub-
licans. 1t has been a holiday throughout
the city.

BLUE AND GRAY.

The arrangements for the decoration
at the National Cemetery tomorrow
viii be found amongst our local news.
There Will be no speeches on the occa-
sion, and probably no ceremony beyond
the floral offerings; but the indications
are that 1t viii be the most notable
Federal memorial day, that will have
been kept in Tennessee since the bat
ties which gave rise to these OBJ
servances. The Confederate decora-
ton on Friday was made thoroughly
emblematic Of the new era which seems
now to be dawning, when those who
are no longer foes viii be brave,
generous friends. The Federal deco.
ration promises to be equally indica-
tive of this spirit. As the blue min
gled with the gray on Friday, so to-
morrow the gray will be with the blue
under the same peculiar and suspicious
circumstances. Governor Porter and
staff, Mayor Howell and many
other representative Southern men
have said they would not fail to be
present, glad to reciprocate the noble
End chivalrous bearing of Gen. Penny
packer and staff, as well as prominent
ex-Federals, who honored the Confede-
rate allen tho Other, dav

the probability in favor Of its successful
running out in five years.
Building Associations are also saving
associations, intended principally for the
mechanic and clerk, who can only spare a
small amount from their salaries, but not
enough to utilize in speculatiOns, or bank
stocks, but which can be used pSftably in
building associations. The experience of
men is that but few are shrewed enough
to lay by dollar by dollar, until 10 amounts
20 a marketable sum. Most men when
they think Of saving, want to save by
the hundreds, and such men generally spend
their money as fast as they get it, and
hence never have the hundred to lay by.
Then again we say building associations
are the banks for such men, as they not
only afford a safe depository for the
earnings Of all men, but they also
are so operated as to make a handsome
dividend on the deposits. We commend
the Rock City Building and Saving AssO-
citation TO the careful consideration Of al
citizens, but more especially to those Of
limited means.

Col. Robert I. Chester, who is now on a
brief visit to this city, may well be termed
a gentleman Of the Olden time, inasmuch
as he first appeared on this bluff with Gen.
Winchester in 1917, at which time the In
dians occupied the entire country, anc there
were no white settlements between here
and the Walnut Hills, where
Vieksburg now stands. Colonel Ches-
ter was also a soldier Of the
second war with Great Britain, having been
a member Of Bayiess' Fourth East Ten
nessee regiment, and stationed at Mobile
when peace was declared in 1915, and he IS
doubtless the only living member OF the
command. Col. Chester yesterday called
at this office and exhibited a relic Of the
past which is suggestive Of the great deeds
of a past generation. 1t was no less than a
massive silver-m0unted cane, made from a
piece Of 0ak, cut out Of the hull Of the
American frigate Constitution, whose IA
miIiar name figures 50 extensively in the
history of the country. The inscription on
the silver hands which encircle il, is itself
a page from history, and reads as follows:
"jOseph Hall to James h. Polk, Old IRON
sides. Our Country and Constitution.
Presented to Col. Robert 1. Chester by
Mrs. James X. Polk, Feb. g, 1907 Mr..
Joseph Hall, who first gave the cane to
the fllustlious Polk, was, a. The time Of
the presentation, a member Of Congress
from the State Of Maine. Col. Chester
esteems this mementO Of the Tast as a
valuable relic, which ne designs 70 trans
nit to bis son, John Chester, and his
friend, K. J. Il. L VIM, Of this city, sug-
gcsts the proprieiy Of having it inscribed
with the additional words: Exempt from
Execution"
