The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1890-02-22

A curious and interesting memento
Of the civil war Is now owned in New
York. IL is copy III the colored litho-
graph known as the Confederate Note
Memorial. VIII ch was issued by the
printing firm OF keatings a Bali. OF
Columbia, ;. c., soon after the close OF
the war.
The United States government refused
10 let the foreman OF the printing office,
who designed the memorial, place il on
the market, and only n few proofs which
had been struck off are now In exist
ence. The main feature OF the picture
is the series OF Confederate bank notes.
which are reproduced and the memory
Of which il is designated TO perpetuate.
In the center is design representing
the fate Of the Lost Cause From a
slanting flagstaff, which rises out OF u
lonely little mound by the side OF n
vast expanse OF water, and which is
marked by "A headstone bearing the let
tiers &C. = A. the coiors of the Con-
federacy droop. In the folds OF the
flag. which is half furled. is the word
Unknown" In the distant landscape
the new moon rises above the RULED
waters, and the whole scene is one OF
desolation. touching in its melancholy.
Beneath the picture is this mournful in
scription:
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread;
While glory guards with solemn round
The blyoilac OF the dead.
At the head OF the picture, keystone
like, is an exact reproduction OF the ten
dollar Confederate bill. and In a group
at the bottom are bulls OF the denomin-
alton OF $50, $50 ana $500 respectively.
Inscribed about the central designs are
these lines;
Too poor To possess the precious ore,
And too much OF a stranger 10 borrow,
We issued today our promise 10 pay.
Aud hoped 10 redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled on, aud weeks became years,
But our Golfers Were empty still;
Coin was so scarce that the Treasury quaked
IL dollar should drop In the Till.
But our boys thought little OF price or pay,
OR OF bills that were overdue
We knew II IL brought our bread today
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep IT, IL tells all our history over,
From the birth OF our dream I'LL ITS last
Modest and born OF the Angel Hope,
Like our hope OF success, itspassed.

These rainy days bring lis trade for
Macintosh Coats, Umbrellas and Rub
bers.
We've marked down all our English
Macintoshes to prices that will interest
whoever wants one; Umbrellas we
always sell for as little, if not less, than
ANYBODY else; while, as for rubbers,
the rubber men think we've spoiled
their market, because we sell good
rubbers at about the prices asked else
where for the poor sort.
But it's ShOes-leather shoes-we
meant to advertise to-day.
Our Shoe business is paying us less
profit than it ought, because we are
supplying good Shoes at much closer
prices than ordinary retail trade justi-
fies, content to wait for profit until the
volume of the business grows to very
larger proportions, when a small per-
centage of gain will yield satisfactory
returns.
1t takes little while to educate
people to the idea that orr moderate
prices do not necessarily involve poor
leather and workmanship, but we can
wait for that, too.
