Ezra JANE, Feb. G.--Wc are sorry that
what we said about the death Of Gordon
Sanding and Bytseu Bullocks should have
cost our vigiant aad gsntlemauly coroner
the trouble of sending his deputy over here
to investigate the matter. We did say, and
say yet, that both Of them were cases that
ought to have been inquired into. While
perhaps no one may think that "foul play
was shown In either case, yet our people
must learn that there ore severe peneities

dies from causes not readily and satisfac.

We do not think that either Of these men
were foul!y dealt with, yet, neglect 10

these cases gives rom for fault finding, and
perhaps an opportunity for some other case
that ought to be investigated to be "hustled

The past few days put our farmers in the

quite gloomy for those who have outdoor

We had the pleasure of attending the
Survivors meeting at Union last Saturday.
| We met large crowd of enthusiastic old
veterans there, many of whom wo had not
seen In many years. We nrc glai to know
that with few exceptions, every old soldier
in naty is enrolled. Among those en-

other things, that it was the first time in
his life he was ever called upon to address

Col. James NJ. Gadberry. He reminded his
hearers that the comparatively little group
Of old men now surrounding him is q frug-
ment Of that grand army whose courage,
endurance and daring had astonished the
civilized world, and whose valorous deeds
will 60 down in history as matters of which
unborn gene ations will not be ashamed.
He did not forget to remind the old men
that time was warning them that they too
must soon "pass over the river to rest under
the shade of the trees beyond :" and it wa,
their duty now to make that preparation
which will make their reunion happy in
the eternal worll. He got so close to the
hearts Of The old men that many of them
shed tears while he was speaking.
