A Lost Flag.

The adjutant general has re-
ceived a letter from James r. Fow-
Ter of Ora, 8. O., inquiring of the
whereabouts of the flag, if 1t Is still
in existence, that was carried by
the James battalion, Of third bat
TALON Of South Carolina sharp
shooters during the late war. He
says 1t was In Kershaw's brigade,
and IL he recollects correctly, one
company In that battalion was or
ganized In Columbia and was COM
manded by Capt. Miller, with a Mr..
Perciyal as fret lieutenant. He
thinks it was either Lieut. Pervical
or a Mr.. Bates who had the colore
when the war closed.

We one gailous boys are enjoying
the good rain fallthat fell upon our

needed rain very much on small

In Memory of Little Fred.

One of our saddest duties is to chron-
icle the death OF one young, handsome
in person and universally beloved. The
heart shrinks from expressing it's emo
tons in words that are inadequate to de-
scribe it's sorrow. About three weeks
ago Fred McElroy left his fathers home
to undergo medical treatment in Chicago,
and being kindly cared for at the home
of his uncle, under the care of an emf
nent physician, hopes were entertained
that soon little Fred would return home
and gladden. the hearts OF his family
and friends with the announcement that
frost withers the beautiful flower, It
pleased God to permit the last enemy,
Death, to lay his icy hand upon gentle
Fred, and last Saturday morning at the
home of his uncle, Mr.. o. @. Hammond,
in the city Of Chicago, Little Fred's spir.
it took it's flight to Him who gave it.
Fred was fifteen years and six months
old the day of his death. Possessing a
mind OF no ordinary intelligence, he was
his fathers hope and his mothers Joy.
His body was embalmed and in the care
of his grandfather reached Waterloo on
Monday afternoon, looking perfectly ma
tural. His funeral was preached from
the Baptist church Tuesday morning, af-
ter which the remains were followed to
the cemetery to await the general resur-
rection. 1t was a touching scene, when
his schoolmates gathered around him to
look for the last time on his peaceful
face, many Of them weeping as il their
hearts were broken. His pail bearers
were his classmates-they filed up his
| grave, and the girls completely covered
It with beautiful flowers, artistically ar
ranged into wreaths and crosses.
The sympathy of the entire communi.
ty goes out to the grief-stricken family
and our prayer is, Be merciful, O Lord
and grant them that priceless boon that
with him they may have q happy re-
union on Resurrection Morn.
Why mourn2 Nay, rather rejoice
that they have an angel boy to hold the
gate ajar and greet them first in Heaven,
A FRIEND.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If
you r tired, weak and nervous, it
is clear that your blood is impure,
and without doubt there has been
too much over-work or strain on
brain and body. The course of
treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified 80 that the ner-
vous system, and in fact all the Or
gans will be fed upon pure blood
Intelligent people without number
have testified that the best blood
purifier, nerve tonic and strength
imparting medicine is Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish
when Hoods Sarsaparilla is per-
sistently taken; in q word, health
and happiness follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
